The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2835

Francis helped Regina upright and said with a gentle smile, "You know, Emma knows your tastes better than anyone. Had I not insisted that she give you some time to recover, I bet she'd be here right now and crying her eyes out in front of you."

At the mention of Emma, Regina's face softened into a smile. "Then you'll have to tell her I'm feeling better and there's no need to worry."

Just then, with perfect timing, Imogen suggested that Regina should come back home to stay.

Regina quietly nibbled on a bagel, a familiar comfort made by Emma's own hands.

Francis didn't immediately respond but listened as Imogen continued, "After such a scare, and with her still so frail, it doesn't make sense for Regina to be living alone. How can she possibly take care of herself properly?

It's better for her at home with the family. We can look after her, and she can enjoy her favorite foods. She'll heal faster that way, right Francis?"

Francis nodded in agreement, yet he didn't make any decisions for Regina.

"Regina, do you want to come home? If you don't want to, I can ask Emma to send some folks over to look after you for a while." he offered.

Regina caught Imogen's calculating gaze and couldn't help but smile. "I appreciate your kind offer. After I'm discharged, I'll come home for a while. It'll give everyone some peace of mind."

Imogen gritted her teeth in frustration. She had never expected Regina to actually agree!

Francis was also surprised by Regina's decision. He had been prepared to arrange for a few people to stay with her at her current place, not expecting her to nod her head in acceptance.

"Regina, you're really growing up. Having you at home, where we can all take care of you, will set our minds at ease."
