âSir, it hurts
The girl's voice trembled slightly as she gritted her teeth in endurance, her face pale as a sheet. She lool
Theo paused his eyebrows furrowed
He hadn't even touched her, why was she crying out in pain?
From the get go, Theo had no intention of doing anything to her. He was just trying to scare her a bit b
being such a pain in the neck!
âWhere does it hurt?"
Ellinor scrunched her face in discomfort, her eyelashes quivering. Her eyes were red and teary.
âMy hand it hurts...â

Theo looked up, his gaze falling on her two small hands. His pupils dilated in shock.

She watched the fluid in the IV drip slowly trickle away, but her mother never returned.
She didn't like hospitals.
Just as she was feeling down, she suddenly heard a cheerful voice...
âYou're awake! That's great!â
Upon hearing the voice, Ellinor saw Belinda Wesley coming in
Belinda quickly walked over to the bed, looking at her with concern, âI just went to the bathroom. Why
Ellinor managed a weak smile, her voice hoarse, âIt's nothing I just slept too much.â
Belinda nodded, âAre you feeling better now? Do you want me to call the doctor to check on you again.
Ellinor shook her head. âThere's no need. Can you help me sit up and get me some water? My throat is
Belinda immediately did as she asked, carefully
helping her sit up and placing a pillow behind her back.
Then, she picked up a cup of water, inserted a straw, and helped her drink.
Ellinor intended to take the cup herself. but her hands were too weak to lift it. She had no choice but to
