Chapter 232
Ellinor whispered, “I don’t.”
They locked eyes.
Suddenly, the man turned his head away and coughed twice!
Ellinor stiffened slightly. “Theo, are you coming down with a cold?”
Theo waved it off with a poker face, “I’m fine
Ellinor took his pulse, and her brow furrowed.
It was damp and cold in the valley today. Theo gave her his coat, plus he had rested in a cave, it would be strange if he didn’t catch a cold!
“Theo, you might have caught a chill You should pile on some blankets when you sleep tonight, a good sweat could do the trick”
“You know traditional medicine?” Theo curiously looked at Ellinor, recalling the last time she knew he had food poisoning simply by feeling his pulse when he accidentally ate Sheila Mendoza’s poisonous dish.
Ellinor nodded, “A little.”
Theo asked, “Did you study it?”
Ellinor shook her head, “Not exactly I grew up in a monastery, and there happened to be a nun who knew some traditional medicine. She often helped people solve various medical problems, and I learned a bit from watching her.”
“A monastery? The man’s brow furrowed, “Why were you living there when you were so young?”
“Because of my father..” Ellinor started but suddenly stopped.
She suddenly remembered when Chase Larios discovered she wasn’t Arnold Mendoza’s biological child, she couldn’t bring herself to say the word ‘father“.
“Because my stepmother didn’t want me, she sent me to live with relatives in the countryside. My cousins didn’t like me, so they sant me to other relatives. I was constantly abandoned, and no one would take me in. Ultimately, they decided to donate some money to the monastery and leave me there, so I grew up in that monastery in the village.”
Listening to her talk calmly about her difficult childhood. Theo felt a heaviness in his heart, his brow furrowing deeper
He reached out, stroking her hair, “You won’t be tossed around anymore.”
Ellinor had long since stopped caring. “Yeah! Now I’m grown up, I don’t need anyone to take me in; who can abandon me now!”
Theo rubbed his forehead, thinking…
Ellinor, sometimes you don’t know how to chat.
“Theo, you keep busy, I’m going for a walk” With that, Ellinor strode off alone; she was bored and wanted to see that brown bear….
“Don’t go anywhere. Go back to bed Theo’s voice was deep and stern.
At the same time, Ellinor was grabbed by the back of the neck and hauled back to the suite.
Belinda and Byran were gone when they arrived back at the suite, probably out somewhere.
After locking the door to keep intruders out. Theo took a bath.
Ellinor hit the hay first. She had to pretend to be Theo’s wife, they couldn’t sleep in separate rooms, so she claimed the bed and left the couch for him!
After a full day of running around, she drifted off to dreamland when she hit the sack.
She had a very long dream.
