Quinton felt immense pressure while facing Dean's harsh questioning, "Sir, about Ellinor..."
Dean widened his eyes, "Don't think I'm a fool, you'd better spill the beans. If you dare lie to me, you're gonna get it!"
Quinton felt cornered. Dean would find out sooner or later. He sighed helplessly, "Because Ellinor is..."
"Because she saved Grandpa's life. The Howard family owes her one."
Balfour's voice timely interrupted Quinton's impending confession.
Dean and Alyssa turned their heads and saw their grandson return on crutches.
Quinton let out a sigh of relief. Under Dean's pressure, he almost spilled the beans about Ellinor's background. That was a close.
Balfour leaned on his crutches, strolling casually to the old man and handed over a bottle of medicine, "Grandpa, your blood pressure pills."
Dean and Alyssa both fell silent.
How could he move so quickly with crutches? He brought back the medicine in no time.
In actual fact, Balfour didn't fetch the medicine himself.
He was distracted by constantly worrying about his sister's condition, and suddenly realized that his grandmother had sent him out on purpose.
So, he made a call to his driver to bring in the medicine.
Dean took the blood pressure pills, as he looked at his grandson with a puzzled expression, "Balfour, tell grandpa the truth, is Ellinor..."
