âHowever, the twins canât leave their incubators yet. They need to stay at the hospital for the time being.â
After hearing that her kids couldnât be discharged with her, Ellinor instantly furrowed her brows. âThey canât leave? Then Iâll stay with them. I wonât leave the hospital yet.â
Ida tried to reason with her. âBoss, even if you stay in the hospital, the kids will need to be in the incubators for care. You wonât be able to be with them constantly. Why not return home and take care of yourself? Ida, Chase, and Mr. Howardâs team are here to ensure everything goes smoothly.â
Despite not being able to be with her children constantly, Ellinor was not willing to leave them behind at the hospital.
âIâll leave when my kids leave.â
Even after seeing her determination, Ida tried to persuade her further. âPostpartum recovery is crucial for women. If not done properly, it could lead to health problems in the future. The hospital, no matter how well equipped, canât comparé to the comfort of your own home.â
âThis young lady is right!â
Before Ellinor could reply, Marissaâs voice suddenly echoed in the room.
Everyone turned their heads towards the entrance.
Veronica was supporting Marissa as they slowly entered the room. Concern was etched on the elderly womanâs face.
âEllinor, you rascal! Didnât we agree that youâd call me for anything important? You went into labor and didnât even let me know so I could be with you!â
Ellinor, seeing Marissa, couldnât help but think of the man who broke his promise.
Ida, noticing Marissa, frowned slightly and shot Veronica a disapproving look.
Veronica looked helpless, muttering under her breath, âWhy are you looking at me? I didnât tell her. She found out on her own.â
Bartlett greeted Marissa with a smile and tactfully stepped aside to let the women talk.
Marissa, with Veronicaâs help, sat down on the chair beside the bed. Full of concern, she asked, âEllinor, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?â
Ellinor nodded. âDonât worry, Iâm recovering well, and the delivery went smoothly.â
Marissa, seeing that Ellinor looked well, relaxed a little. But she sighed deeply. âEllinor, this was such a significant event in your life, and not a single member of us Blanchet family was present. Iâm so ashamed.â
Ellinorâs expression darkened.
She didnât care about the absence of other Blanchet family members. All she cared about was why Theo hadnât come.
Ellinor didnât beat around the bush. She asked what she wanted to know. âGrandma, where is Theo?
Hasnât he returned yet?â
Marissaâs age-lined face flashed with unease at the question before she responded gently. âEllinor, there⦠there was a big problem at the corporation, so Theo got held up in the M State. Donât worry; as soon as he returns, Iâll ensure he apologizes to you immediately.â
Ellinor, sensing that something was off, frowned. âGrandma, can you reach him? Did he tell you about the situation at the corporation?â
Caught off guard by Ellinorâs question, Marissa was momentarily speechless.
