Chapter 530
When Ellinor came back to the booth, she found Bartlett was gone too, and she had no clue where he’d taken off to
Theo wasn’t back yet, leaving only Patricia in the booth, feeding her kid
The two of them had just had a row in the restroom, it was a downright catfight that even got a bit ugly at some points.
Now that nobody else was around, Patricia dropped the friendly pretense, shooting Ellinor a frosty glance before going back to feeding her child.
Ellinor settled back into her seat, starting to munch on her food while sending a text to Chase.
Suddenly, Patricia rang the service bell.
Ellinor didn’t pay much attention to Patricia’s move since she was busy replying to the text on her phone.
Soon, a waiter in restaurant uniform came in with a soup pot.
“Hello, I’m here to top up your soup.”
The waiter moved forward with the pot, filling up their pot with bone soup, but as he finished pouring, his hand suddenly spasmed, shaking the pot unsteadily, and then he lost his grip.
The soup pot was about to fly toward the kid!
Ellinor looked up, just in time to see the disaster about to unfold
She reacted quickly, getting up to try and catch the hot soup pot, but due to inertia, some of the hot soup still sloshed out and splashed onto the face of the child in the baby seat
The child, scalded by the hot soup, burst into tears immediately.
The waiter looked panic-stricken, forgetting about the soup pot and making a run for it.
“Stop”
Ellinor didn’t manage to stop the waiter, nor did she have time to prevent him from running; the key now was to check how badly the child was hurt.
Putting down the soup pot, Ellinor quickly asked Patricia, “Where did the kid get scalded?”
Patricia didn’t answer, but the kid was still wailing.
Ellinor saw the child’s left eyelid was already swollen, it looked like a severe burn!
She wanted to go over and check the child’s injury out of concern, but Patricia pushed her away, shouting, “What are you doing? Stop hurting my child!”
Ellinor was shocked, she didn’t expect Patricia to react like this at this time. She frowned, looking at Patricia, puzzled.
Just then, Patricia started to cry, looking behind her and saying pitifully. “Theo, Baby got hurt.”
Ellinor turned around and found that Theo was back, standing at the door of the booth, and she immediately understood Patricia’s intention.
Theo rushed over, seeing a large blister on the child’s left eyelid, and asked in confusion, “What happened?”
Patricia was crying uncontrollably, but her words were clear, “I called the waiter in to top up the soup, but Ellinor suddenly snatched the soup pot from the waiter’s hand and poured it over the child!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, Theo looked up at Ellinor, his eyes full of complex emotions
Patricia looked extremely angry, “Ellinor, if you have any grievances, you can vent them on me directly Why do you have to hurt such a small child? He’s not even one year old!”
