In the quiet hallway of the hospital, Ellinor made a beeline for her room, breezing past the nurseâs station.
Theo followed surt, hot on her heels A few nurses gossiped in hushed excitement. âLook! That guyâ Heâs Ms. Howardâs boyfriendâ
âOh my God, heâs so hot âBut why isnât he with Ms. Howard in room 302 instead of trailing behind another chick?â
âCould it be some sleazy love triangle?â
Hearing the nursesâ little tattle, Ellinor furrowed her brows and picked up her pace Once back in her room, she immediately turned to lock the door!
Theoâs hand shot out, quickly bracing the door open, and asked, âWhat are you up to?â
As Ellinor struggled to close the door, she retorted. âSir, you donât need to come in.â
Theo asked sternly, âGive me a reason?â
Ellinor nodded, âOkay, remove your hand first, then Iâll tell youâ
Theo withdrew his hand, and in an instant, Ellinor slammed the door shut and locked it!
Veins popped out on Theaâs forehead as he patiently knocked on the door, âCome on, open up, let me in!â
There was no response inside the room, Ellinor gave him the silent treatment.
Frowning. The called out, âEllinor, can you hear me? Open the door!â
Still no response Theo sighed, lowering his pride, he began to coax her, âSweetie, come on, open the door, will ya?â
âWhatâs the problem? At least let me know why?â
âItâs my fault, I came back late; I deserve a smack!â
âEllinor, Ellinorâ
âMr Blanchet.â
Collinâs voice suddenly echoed from behind Theo Theo turned around with a glacial look.
1 Sensing the icy atmosphere, Collin quickly explained his situation, âUm 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. Itâs still hot, hurry and let Ellinor eat it while itâs warmâ
Theo wanted to do just that if only he could get in.
Collin seemed to get the gistâ Mr. Blanchet, you canât get in?â
Theaâs icy stare sent a chill down Collinâs spine, instinctively, he took a step back.
Then, he conscientiously placed the packed meals on a chair in the hallway, saying, âMr. Blanchet, Iâll leave the food here, remember to eat it while itâs hot, Iâll take my now âMm.â
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 âTen years ago, Patricia saved my life. She got hurt because of me and ended up frail and sickly.
Therefore, I canât forget her kindness and act indifferent towards her life and death.â
In her room, Ellinor, taking in fresh air by the window, read the message from Theo. She stood there dumbfounded momentarily, then replied âOkay, since she saved your life, you should be with your life saver now Donât worry about me.â
Theo: âFirst, open the door for meâ
Ellinor: âIâm going to sleep now. You can go be with your lifeâsaver!â
Theo. âOpen the door, I have something to tell youâ
Ellinor didnât reply After waiting for a minute without any response, Theo resisted the urge to throw his phone and sent another message: âCollin just brought some barbecueâ
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, âWhereâs my barbecue?
Leaning against the window, Theo didnât sense anything amiss, he calmly replied, âYouâre having a severe allergic reaction right now so you canât eat greasy and spicy food and should follow the doctorâs dietary adviceâ
âWar Ellinor huffed, although she was unhappy, she didnât 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. âAre you full? I have something to tell youâ¦â
Ellinor cut him off, âYou donât need to tell me your stuff, I donât want to know!
Theo frowned, his eyes deep, âWhy didnât you let me in just now?â
