Chapter 636
âIda let out a sigh, âEllinor, it wasn't our fault.
He, himself, ran into a glass door and shattered it. The doc said he got a bit of a concussion, so he
hasn't come around yet
Ellinor took a deep breath, feeling at a loss for words.
Clearly, Byran's survival up to this point was all thanks to being mollycoddled at home.
No wonder his brother, Balfour, was such a hard ass with him. The kid was truly a walking disaster.
And by disaster, we're talking life-threatening situations here.
âAlright, got it. Ida, keep an eye on him, don't let him go gallivanting when he wakes up. I'll come
over laterâ
âNo worries, I'll be on it!"
After hanging up, Ellinor turned her gaze back to AAAres on the bed, her mood shifting.
Unmasking AAAres just now would've been kinda rude.
The worst thing for a hacker was to have their true identity exposed. Taking advantage of someone
when they're out cold was not cool
Forget it! She didnât wanna see anymore. It was better for an idol to keep a bit of mystery in front of
their fans.
But she couldn't linger in the hotel for too long, she needed to go check on Byran with Ida
Ellinor looked around on AAAres for a cell phone but came up empty. She couldnt notify his family
After a moment's thought, she called room service and ordered some hangover cure. After feeding
it to AAAres, she sat by the bed in silence for a bit.
She checked his pulse to make sure there wouldn't be any major problems, then left the suite.
Ellinor got a new room on a different floor, took off her gear, had a shower, and changed into
casual clothes.
Then she was off to the hospital.
While waiting for the elevator, Ellinor checked her phone. Ida had sent the hospital's address, which
was not too far from her.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Balfour and Quinton were standing there, one behind the other.
Balfour's brows furrowed when he saw Ellinor. He clearly wasn't pleased.
Ellinor was surprised to run into Balfour here too. She gave a polite smile, âMr. Howard, what a
coincidence.â
Then she stepped into the elevator, naturally standing aside and pressing the close door button,
When the elevator doors closed, the three of them were in the confined space, unable to ignore
each other's presence.
Ellinor didn't feel uncomfortable; she was busy replying to Ida's message on her phone.
Balfour, on the other hand, was squinting at her carefree profile, âMs. Mendoza, what's your game
here?â
Ellinor was taken aback, looking at him with confusion, âMy game? Mr. Howard, what do you
mean?â
Ever since she left the Bagley familyâs party, she hadn't been to the Howard Group.
Not only because Balfour had fired her but also because she felt it would be difficult to investigate
the Howard familyâs past under Balfour's watch.
So, she didn't want to be a nuisance at the Howard Group anymore and shifted her focus to the
Bagley family, deciding to change her strategy and start from there
However, due to her recent mood, she hadn't had time to visit old Mr. and Mrs. Bagley, nor had she
had a chance to learn about her motherâs past.
Balfour's voice was laced with a hint of sarcasm, âYou just happened to run into me here, huh?
You're telling me you have no ulterior motives?â
Ellinor furrowed her brows, looking at Balfour speechlessly.
âMr. Howard, you're overthinking things. I just happened to be staying at this hotel too.â
*Happened?â Balfour scoffed, âYou think it's likely for you to cross a whole city and just meet me
here by chance?â
