Chapter 636
“Ida let out a sigh, “Ellinor, it wasn’t our fault.
He, himself, ran into a glass door and shattered it. The doc said he got a bit of a concussion, so he hasn’t come around yet
Ellinor took a deep breath, feeling at a loss for words.
Clearly, Byran’s survival up to this point was all thanks to being mollycoddled at home.
No wonder his brother, Balfour, was such a hard ass with him. The kid was truly a walking disaster. And by disaster, we’re talking life–threatening situations here.
“Alright, got it. Ida, keep an eye on him, don’t let him go gallivanting when he wakes up. I’ll come over later”
“No worries, I’ll be on it!”
After hanging up, Ellinor turned her gaze back to AAAres on the bed, her mood shifting.
Unmasking AAAres just now would’ve been kinda rude.
The worst thing for a hacker was to have their true identity exposed. Taking advantage of someone when they’re out cold was not cool
Forget it! She didn’t wanna see anymore. It was better for an idol to keep a bit of mystery in front of their fans.
But she couldn’t linger in the hotel for too long, she needed to go check on Byran with Ida.
Ellinor looked around on AAAres for a cell phone but came up empty. She couldn’t notify his family
After a moment’s thought, she called room service and ordered some hangover cure. After feeding it to AAAres, she sat by the bed in silence for a bit.
She checked his pulse to make sure there wouldn’t be any major problems, then left the suite.
Ellinor got a new room on a different floor, took off her gear, had a shower, and changed into casual clothes.
Then she was off to the hospital.
While waiting for the elevator, Ellinor checked her phone. Ida had sent the hospital’s address, which was not too far from her.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Balfour and Quinton were standing there, one behind the other.
Balfour’s brows furrowed when he saw Ellinor. He clearly wasn’t pleased.
Ellinor was surprised to run into Balfour here too. She gave a polite smile, “Mr. Howard, what a coincidence.”
Then she stepped into the elevator, naturally standing aside and pressing the close door button,
When the elevator doors closed, the three of them were in the confined space, unable to ignore each other’s presence.
Ellinor didn’t feel uncomfortable; she was busy replying to Ida’s message on her phone.
Balfour, on the other hand, was squinting at her carefree profile, “Ms. Mendoza, what’s your game here?”
Ellinor was taken aback, looking at him with confusion, “My game? Mr. Howard, what do you mean?”
Ever since she left the Bagley family’s party, she hadn’t been to the Howard Group.
Not only because Balfour had fired her but also because she felt it would be difficult to investigate the Howard family’s past under Balfour’s watch.
So, she didn’t want to be a nuisance at the Howard Group anymore and shifted her focus to the Bagley family, deciding to change her strategy and start from there.
However, due to her recent mood, she hadn’t had time to visit old Mr. and Mrs. Bagley, nor had she had a chance to learn about her mother’s past.
Balfour’s voice was laced with a hint of sarcasm, “You just happened to run into me here, huh? You’re telling me you have no ulterior motives?”
Ellinor furrowed her brows, looking at Balfour speechlessly.
“Mr. Howard, you’re overthinking things. I just happened to be staying at this hotel too.”
*Happened?” Balfour scoffed, “You think it’s likely for you to cross a whole city and just meet me here by chance?”
