Theo was holding Ellinor, his voice was icy as he said, âThereâs an empty room here. Take him in there first. The kidâs running a fever, so donât let him catch a coldâ Patricia watched Theo holding Ellinor and froze in place. She asked somewhat reluctantly. âTheo, arenât you going to hold Baber? Heâs been calling for you! Is it because Ellinor would mind?â
After saying this, Patricia tumed towards Ellinor with a pitiful look and began pleading. âEllinor, canât you stop fighting over Theo with a child for a moment? Baber really needs him nowâ
Before Theo could say anything, Ellinor beat him to it. âFight? Iâm not fighting, am I? Theoâs arms are mine in the first place!â
Ellinor lazily leaned against Theo, casually saying. âPatricia, you always seem kind of weak, but you sure can move fast when carrying a kid. Theo barely hung up the phone, and youâre here.â
Patriciaâs face showed her dissatisfaction with Ellinor. She forced a smile and said, âAs a mother, I would do anything for my child. Ellinor, youâre not a mom, so you wouldnât understandâ
Ellinor gave a sarcastic laugh, then stood up, saying, âSince youâre a mother, Patricia, Iâll give you some respect and let the kid have Theo for a bit.â
Tuming to Theo, she said, âTheo, go see that kid. Heâs calling for you.â
Theo just stared at Ellinor, not moving Patricia, seeing Ellinor walk away, moved closer to Theo with Baber in her arms, âTheo, Baber really needs you. Heâs been calling for his daddy all the time at home.â Theo looked at the weak child, his brow furrowing seriously, âI told you to take him upstairs to rest. Holding him wonât cure his illness. The windows are open; arenât you afraid heâll catch a cold again?â
Theoâs tone was clearly impatient Patricia was stunned Theo had never been so annoyed with her before.
All of this must be because of Ellinor.
Ellinor was such a pain!
Theo didnât take the child, so Patricia put Baber on the sofa, then took a bracelet out of her pocket.
âTheo, do you remember this bracelet? Itâs the token you gave me when we met. I remember you saying that no matter what trouble I met, I could use this bracelet to ask for your help, and you would do everything you could to protect me.â
After saying this, Patricia wiped away her tears mournfully and handed the bracelet to Theo, âI understand. You have Ellinor now and probably canât care about me anymore. I shouldnât disturb your life anymore either. Here, Iâll return this bracelet to you. I wonât trouble you with it anymore.â
Theoâs gaze shifted slightly as he looked at the bracelet Patricia handed him.
This bracelet was a memento of his mother. He had worn it since he was a child.
The year Patricia saved his life, his men finally found him on the seventh day.
Unfortunately, by the time they found him, the girl who had saved him was gone.
He couldnât just leave quietly, so he had his men wait there for the girl and give her this bracelet to show how thankful he was and also so she could find him when she was in trouble.
