Patricia had an epiphany, and she chuckled awkwardly, "Nothing special, just reminiscing about that year."
Ellinor smirked slightly, "Really? Do you remember what color Theo was wearing then?"
Patricia was stumped by the question. It was such a simple question that if she said she didn't remember, it would be so awkward.
Theo usually wore black or white clothes. So she decided to just pick one at random.
"Um... maybe he was wearing black..."
After hearing this answer, Theo squinted slightly; his eyes were deep and inscrutable.
Ellinor continued to quiz Patricia, "Ms. Howard, do you remember where Theo was bitten by a snake?"
Patricia was stumped again; she wasn't clear about the specific wound location, "Um... I think it was his arm."
Ellinor continued to press, "Left arm or right arm?"
Patricia was even more confused; she was getting a bit impatient, "Ellinor, why do you always ask for details? It feels like you're interrogating me."
Ellinor chuckled, "I'm just curious! Ms. Howard, you didn't forget such an important detail as whether you sucked the poison from Theo's left arm or right arm, did you?"
Patricia frowned, "I've already said, it's been so long, I really can't remember."
Ellinor smirked slightly and asked again, "Do you remember anything else you did for Theo after sucking out the poison?"
