The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 848

Patricia saw Ellinor coming back. Although she was not feeling so hot inside, she still managed to put on a smile.

"Yep, just had a full medical checkup. Doc says I'm as fit as a fiddle."

Ellinor nodded, "That's good; once you've checked out, you can rest easy. I just worried that you might've overdosed on saffron, which might affect your fertility."

That comment made Patricia and everyone present feel a bit queasy.

Patricia had long been diagnosed as infertile; it was an open secret in their circle. So Ellinor's remark was like rubbing salt in her wounds.

Patricia looked hurt and dejected, "Ellinor, you know I can't have kids... Are you mocking me?"

Byran, who just woke up, felt that Ellinor's comment was way out of line. He said weakly, "Ellinor, you can't treat my sister like that."

Ellinor ignored Byran and turned to Patricia, "I'm sorry, I forgot about you losing your fertility because you saved my husband. I didn't mean it; you're not mad, are you?"

Patricia thought Ellinor was deliberately poking fun at her.

But Ellinor got it wrong this time. Her words didn't hurt Patricia; instead, they gave her a chance to play the victim.
