Chapter 1836
Theo maneuvered around his desk to her side, naturally taking the cup of coffee from her hand and
taking a sip. âHmm, where are you taking me later?â
âYou'll know when we get there. But first, let me fill you in on the companyâs progress over the past
three years.â
Theo gently ruffled her hair. âNo need. I got the gist of it during the meeting. Now, you can just take
me along.â
Ellinor looked up at him, feeling inwardly annoyed. He was flirting too much; his âtake me alongâ
sounded so suggestive. It was as if she were about to lead him into some mischief.
After brushing off his hand from her head, Ellinor stood up, grabbed his tie, and lightly tugged at
him. âThen let's go.â
The man put down the coffee cup, letting the young woman lead him out of the CEO's office.
The first one to be shocked was the secretary at the door.
The next ones stunned were the entire company's employees. They watched in astonishment and
admiration until they saw Ellinor drag Mr. Blanchet into the elevator.
How fierce!
DING!
After the elevator door closed, Ellinor finally let go of his tie.
However, due to the tug, the manâs tie had tightened quite a bit. He straightened up and loosened
it himself.
âMissy, you're not leaving me any dignity. How am I supposed to manage the employees in the
future?â
Ellinor glanced at him disdainfully. âYou didnât leave me any dignity yesterday or today!â
Theo raised an eyebrow. âWhat do you mean? When did I not leave you any dignity?â
Ellinor huffed. âI won't even mention yesterday. This morning, you told Grandma to let me sleep in
because I was tired. You deliberately made her misunderstand...â
The man laughed, âMisunderstand what? Hmm?"
Ellinor had to admit that when it came to shamelessness, she couldn't compete with this man.
âNothing!â
Theo wrapped an arm around her shoulder and bent down to whisper in her ear. âSo letting you
sleep in was wrong? Alright, I'll try not to let you sleep at all next time and keep you up all night. Is
that better?â
Ellinor felt goosebumps. âEnough! Can you be serious? There's a camera in the elevator. Aren't you
afraid your employees will see, and it'll affect your image?â
Theo didn't mind being seen. He didn't think flirting with his wife was anything to be ashamed of.
But he knew if he kept teasing her, she might get angry and bite. So, he stopped joking.
He straightened up and cleared his throat. âOkay, I'll be serious. Darling, where are we going next?â
âAstoria General Hospital.â
After hearing that they were going to the hospital, Theo's face fell. âWhat's wrong? Why are we
going to the hospital? Are you not feeling well? Let me check!â
Ellinor shook her head. âI'm fine. I'm just taking you to meet someone.â
DING!
The elevator door opened, and Ellinor took his hand, leading him out and into the car.
Astoria General Hospital.

Ever since Marlinie reunited with her daughter, her condition had improved significantly. However,
there was also a negative impact. She would stare blankly at the door, hoping her daughter would
come.
Just as Bertha brought a bow! of porridge to Marlinje, she saw her not taking it but staring straight
at the door of the ward. She sighed. âMarlinie, stop looking. Ellinor must be busy. She'll come when
sheâs done.â
Marlinie snapped back to reality and took the porridge from her friend. âHmm.â
Bertha shook her head helplessly and sat down on a nearby chair.
