Chapter 1680
Seeing that Theo was continuing to avoid her gaze, Ellinor furrowed her brows. She cupped his face in her hands, bent down, and pressed her forehead against his, forcing him to look at
her.
“Look at me!”
His forehead was burning hot, and the moment their eyes met, a shiver ran through him.
This little vixen was way too close.
Just as he was about to push her away, Ellinor spoke. “Don’t move! You’re in no condition to be stubborn!”
His evident embarrassment made the veins in his eyes more pronounced. “You…you need to leave!”
Ellinor smirked. “Are you blushing? What will you do without me?”
He clenched his teeth, cursing his current weakness; otherwise, he would have loved to spank this little minx!
Ellinor cupped his face, gently stroking his cheek. “Dummy! Why are you acting shy around me? You used to be quite shameless in such matters.”
Marcus was speechless.
Did this little vixen know she was playing with fire?
Ellinor squinted as she looked at him, noticing that his face was covered in sweat.
“Theo, you must remember the past. There was a time when you were tricked into eating something you shouldn’t have and needed to share a bed with a woman to detoxify. I was the one who helped you then. Now that I’m going to help you twice, how do you plan to repay me?”
With that, she pressed her lips against his tight-lipped mouth, lightly biting them in the process.
His eyes widened in shock, and after just a few seconds, he gave in.
This little vixen’s kiss was just too sweet.
At this moment, not only was he struggling with the unknown substance in his body, but the flood of memories returning to him were weighing heavily on his mind. Every moment he had spent with the little vixen was slowly coming into view.
His heart ached.
Meanwhile.
Balfour returned to the storage room where he had hidden with his sister, lighting a cigarette to pass the time.
Ideally, he should have distanced himself, but he feared any unexpected situation with his sister if he did.
Ah!
That girl truly loved Theo deeply. She was even willing to help him in such a situation.
Halfway through his cigarette, Balfour received a call from Quinton.
“Balfour, as per your instructions, I’ve had someone watching Sophia. She’s currently in a shopping mall near the hospital, getting a beauty treatment.”
Balfour responded coldly. “Keep a tight watch on her. If she makes any move to return, notify me immediately.”
“Yes, Mr. Howard.”
On the hospital’s residential floor.
Byran watched as his father finished his medication and was then bombarded with questions about Ellinor.
How they met, how Ellinor and Theo met, and how they got together. He scrutinized every detail.
Byran was helpless, and to calm his father’s mood, he answered every question, recounting the whole story.
McNeil frowned as he listened. In this story, Ellinor had suffered far too much injustice.
Especially since Balfour hadn’t recognized her as his sister at first and had done a lot to harm her. Byran was no better, having opposed Ellinor initially.
He owed Ellinor, and the Howard family owed Ellinor even more.
Once he was discharged, he would definitely make it up to Ellinor.
At that moment, Byran’s phone suddenly rang twice.
