Chapter 280
When Ellinor woke up again, it was already pitch–black outside
The side effects of the IV had made her so drowsy so she had slept like a log
However, she felt a bit better now, she could sit up alone
After sitting up, she looked around and saw a man sitting on the couch in the hospital room……..
She jumped, then took a closer look, it was Then!
Theo was lounging on the couch, one hand propping up his forehead, a laptop on his lap, apparently busy with some important work.
“You awake?”
Theo’s eyes were glued to his computer, but he seemed to know she was awake.
Ellinor frowned, surprised, “Theo, why are you still here?”
Theo glanced at her, picked up his coffee from the table, and sipped, “Didn’t someone ask me not to leave before they went to sleep?”
Ellinor chuckled awkwardly. “I said you could leave when Belinda returns. Where’s Belinda?
As she spoke, she looked around but didn’t see Belinda in the room.
“Collin took her home.” Theo replied nonchalantly.
Ellinor felt down; with Belinda gone, it was just her and Theo left…
Theo raised an eyebrow, “What’s up? Disappointed that I’m keeping you company?”
Ellinor sighed helplessly. Looking at Theo, she saw him eating something while working on his laptop…
“Theo, what are you eating?” she asked.
“Cake,” Theo replied.
Ellinor’s eyes widened, “Is that my cake?”
“Yes”
“That’s the one I saved for myself, how could you just help yourself!”
Theo remained expressionless, “You were sleeping all the time; this stuff spoils easily; it’d be a waste not to eat it.”
Ellinor frowned, “Now I’m awake, give it to me, I can eat it myse!!!
“If you want it, come and get it”
Ellinor got out of bed to get the cake, only to find a small piece left, and Theo was already holding a fork ready to eat.
“That’s mine!” Ellinor frowned, trying to reclaim her cake.
Theo frowned imperiously, “Can’t I eat what’s yours?”
Ellinor was upset, “You’ve already eaten so much, why are you still fighting me over it.”
Before she finished speaking, she picked up the plate intending to leave…
With a wave of his hand, Theo’s long fingers quickly grabbed the other side of the plate, pulling both the plate and her towards him, “Ms. Mendoza, don’t you want to share a piece of cake with me? I’m the one who took you to the hospital and stayed with you all day”
Although Ellinor’s hand was inconvenient, she did not let go, holding the plate lightly as she faced off with him, “There’s only this piece left today; I want to eat it myself, I can make more for you!”
“All right.”
Theo suddenly let go, and due to the momentum, Ellinor lost her balance and fell into Theo’s arms…
Luckily, the cake didn’t fall, it was caught in time by Theo’s large hand.
Her chin hit Theo’s collarbone hard, even through a shirt layer, she could feel the line of his bones…
She instinctively propped up her body, accidentally brushing against Theo’s cheek, her face felt a bit itchy.
She scratched her face with her hand and said helplessly, “You need to shave.”
“Really?” Theo raised his eyebrows, one hand around her waist, pulling her back towards him, deliberately rubbing his face against hers.
Ellinor blushed, whether from anger or embarrassment wasn’t clear, “You enough already!”
Theo let go, his tired eyes looking at her, “I haven’t slept in two days; when would I have had time to shave?”
Ellinor paused, two days without sleep?
