Chapter 1422
“However, the twins can’t leave their incubators yet. They need to stay at the hospital for the time being.”
After hearing that her kids couldn’t be discharged with her, Ellinor instantly furrowed her brows. “They can’t leave? Then I’ll stay with them. I won’t leave the hospital
yet.”
Ida tried to reason with her. “Boss, even if you stay in the hospital, the kids will need to be in the incubators for care. You won’t be able to be with them constantly. Why not return home and take care of yourself? Ida, Chase, and Mr. Howard’s team are here to ensure everything goes smoothly.”
Despite not being able to be with her children constantly, Ellinor was not willing to leave them behind at the hospital.
“I’ll leave when my kids leave.”
Even after seeing her determination, Ida tried to persuade her further. “Postpartum recovery is crucial for women. If not done properly, it could lead to health problems in the future. The hospital, no matter how well equipped, can’t comparé to the comfort of your own home.”
“This young lady is right!”
Before Ellinor could reply, Marissa’s voice suddenly echoed in the room.
Everyone turned their heads towards the entrance.
Veronica was supporting Marissa as they slowly entered the room. Concern was etched on the elderly woman’s face.
“Ellinor, you rascal! Didn’t we agree that you’d call me for anything important? You went into labor and didn’t even let me know so I could be with you!”
Ellinor, seeing Marissa, couldn’t help but think of the man who broke his promise.
Ida, noticing Marissa, frowned slightly and shot Veronica a disapproving look.
Veronica looked helpless, muttering under her breath, “Why are you looking at me? I didn’t tell her. She found out on her own.”
Bartlett greeted Marissa with a smile and tactfully stepped aside to let the women talk.
Marissa, with Veronica’s help, sat down on the chair beside the bed. Full of concern, she asked, “Ellinor, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?”
Ellinor nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m recovering well, and the delivery went smoothly.”
Marissa, seeing that Ellinor looked well, relaxed a little. But she sighed deeply. “Ellinor, this was such a significant event in your life, and not a single member of us Blanchet family was present. I’m so ashamed.”
Ellinor’s expression darkened.
She didn’t care about the absence of other Blanchet family members. All she cared about was why Theo hadn’t come.
Ellinor didn’t beat around the bush. She asked what she wanted to know. “Grandma, where is Theo? Hasn’t he returned yet?”
Marissa’s age-lined face flashed with unease at the question before she responded gently. “Ellinor, there… there was a big problem at the corporation, so Theo got
held up in the M State. Don’t worry; as soon as he returns, I’ll ensure he apologizes to you immediately.”
Ellinor, sensing that something was off, frowned. “Grandma, can you reach him? Did he tell you about the situation at the corporation?”
Caught off guard by Ellinor’s question, Marissa was momentarily speechless.
