Chapter 286
In the quiet hallway of the hospital, Ellinor made a beeline for her room, breezing past the nurse’s station.
Theo followed surt, hot on her heels
A few nurses gossiped in hushed excitement. “Look! That guy‘ He’s Ms. Howard’s boyfriend”
“Oh my God, he’s so hot
“But why isn’t he with Ms. Howard in room 302 instead of trailing behind another chick?”
“Could it be some sleazy love triangle?”
Hearing the nurses‘ little tattle, Ellinor furrowed her brows and picked up
her
pace
Once back in her room, she immediately turned to lock the door!
Theo’s hand shot out, quickly bracing the door open, and asked, “What are you up to?”
As Ellinor struggled to close the door, she retorted. “Sir, you don’t need to come in.”
Theo asked sternly, “Give me a reason?”
Ellinor nodded, “Okay, remove your hand first, then I’ll tell you”
Theo withdrew his hand, and in an instant, Ellinor slammed the door shut and locked it!
Veins popped out on Thea’s forehead as he patiently knocked on the door, “Come on, open up, let me in!”
There was no response inside the room, Ellinor gave him the silent treatment.
Frowning. The called out, “Ellinor, can you hear me? Open the door!”
Still no response
Theo sighed, lowering his pride, he began to coax her, “Sweetie, come on, open the door, will ya?”
“What’s the problem? At least let me know why?”
“It’s my fault, I came back late; I deserve a smack!“
“Ellinor, Ellinor”

Sensing the icy atmosphere, Collin quickly explained his situation, “Um Mr. Blanchet, I got stuck in traffic. The meal you asked me to get for Ellinor got cold, so I had to go back and get a new one. It’s still hot, hurry and let Ellinor eat it while it’s warm‘
Theo wanted to do just that if only he could get in.
Collin seemed to get the gist” Mr. Blanchet, you can’t get in?”
Thea’s icy stare sent a chill down Collin’s spine, instinctively, he took a step back.
Then, he conscientiously placed the packed meals on a chair in the hallway, saying, “Mr. Blanchet, I’ll leave the food here, remember to eat it while it’s hot, I’ll take my
now
“Mm.”
Collin quickly made his ext.
Theo, feeling drained, pinched the bridge of his nose and slumped onto the chair in the hallway He pulled out his phone and texted Ellinor
leave
“Ten years ago, Patricia saved my life. She got hurt because of me and ended up frail and sickly. Therefore, I can’t forget her kindness and act indifferent towards her life and
death.”
In her room, Ellinor, taking in fresh air by the window, read the message from Theo. She stood there dumbfounded momentarily, then replied “Okay, since she saved your life, you should be with your life saver now Don’t worry about me.”
Theo: “First, open the door for me”
Ellinor: “I’m going to sleep now. You can go be with your life–saver!”
Theo. “Open the door, I have something to tell you”
Ellinor didn’t reply
After waiting for a minute without any response, Theo resisted the urge to throw his phone and sent another message: “Collin just brought some barbecue”
Three seconds later, click, the door to the room opened
With a serious expression, Theo picked up the food Collin had delivered, using it as an excuse to get in
Ellinor opened the food box to find chicken soup, she immediately scowled and looked at Theo, “Where’s my barbecue?
Leaning against the window, Theo didn’t sense anything amiss, he calmly replied, “You’re having a severe allergic reaction right now so you can’t eat greasy and spicy food and should follow the doctor’s dietary advice”
“War Ellinor huffed, although she was unhappy, she didn’t hesitate to eat the chicken soup because she was hungry!
Theo sat beside her, watching her eat in silence.
Not until Ellinor put down her spoon did Theo speak up. “Are you full? I have something to tell you…”
Ellinor cut him off, “You don’t need to tell me your stuff, I don’t want to know!
Theo frowned, his eyes deep, “Why didn’t you let me in just now?”
