Chapter1308
She frantically tried to stop his bleeding bypressing her hand against his wound. She fumbled for her phone to dial for help,buther handwas shaking so badly thatshe couldn’t dial the numbers.
His facewas growing paler from the bloodloss, but he still managed to force a smile. He opened his mouth weakly “Can you forgive
me now?”
Hereyes welled up with tears as she nodded forcefully. “You can’t die! You can’t…”
But his eyes slowly closed, as if he were losing consciousness.
“No!”
Ellinor woke up in a cold sweat.
“Ms. Mendoza, are you okay?”
She blinked her eyes open to see her housemaid looking at her worriedly. “Ms. Mendoza, you’re sweating a lot. Are you feeling unwell?Should I call for a doctor?”
Still dazed, Ellinor shook her head and waved her hand dismissively. “Noneed, I’m fine.”
The maid handed her a tissue to wipe her sweat and then went to pour her a glass of water.
Ellinor’s breathing was unsteady, and her chest was heaving in pain.
The deep pain from the dream lefther dazed, eventhough she knew it was just a dream.
She justwanted to keep her distance from him, but she didn’t want him to get hurt.
This was so suffocating!
Oddly, why would she have such a dream?
She took the water from the maid, took a sip to calm her nerves, and took a deep breath.
Then Byran came back.
Had she slept for an hour?
Ellinor took another sip of water and casually asked Byran. “So, did you sweep Ida off her feet?”
Byran didn’t answer, his face gloomy as he trudged upstairs.
Ida had been ignoring him; she was not even willing to eat with him.
Was his outfit really that ridiculous?
So annoying!
Ida was so hard to please!
After watching Byran’s disappointed figure disappear upstairs, Ellinor raised an eyebrow.
She was not surprised in the least. This was all within her predictions.
Ida hated pretentious people; she would be amazed if she paid any attention to him.
She glanced at her phone. Theo hadn’t sent another message after the last one.
How rarel
Ellinor felt a bit uneasy, but she couldn’t pinpoint what was bothering her.
She must be overthinking
Who in the world would dare mess with the Blanchet family? Who would be crazy enough to mess with Theo? That was just asking for trouble.
After having the nutritious meal prepared by the nutritionist Balfour had hired for her, Ellinor started watching TV, trying to distract herself from unimportant matters.
She watched TV until late in the afternoon, when Balfour came back.
Quinton was behind him, carrying two big bags of barbecue ingredients from the supermarket.
Balfour walked over to the couch, gently patting Ellinor’s head, who was engrossed in the TV “Ellinor, I’m back. I’ve bought all the barbecue stuff you wanted, we can eat it later”
“Oh, you’ve worked hard.” Ellinor replied absentmindedly.
After handing his coat to the maid, Balfour sat down elegantly next to Ellinor. I’ve also brought back something you’ve been wanting”
