The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 286

In the quiet hallway of the hospital, Ellinor made a beeline for her room, breezing past the nurse's station.

Theo followed suit, hot on her heels.

A few nurses gossiped in hushed excitement, "Look! That guy! He's Ms. Howard's boyfriend!"

"Oh my God, he's so hot!"

"But why isn't he with Ms. Howard in room 302 instead of trailing behind another chick?"

"Could it be some sleazy love triangle?"

Hearing the nurses' tittle-tattle, Ellinor furrowed her brows and picked up her pace.

Once back in her room, she immediately turned to lock the door!

Theo's hand shot out, quickly bracing the door open, and asked, "What are you up to?"

As Ellinor struggled to close the door, she retorted, "Sir, you don't need to come in."

Theo asked sternly, "Give me a reason?"

Ellinor nodded, "Okay, remove your hand first, then I'll tell you."

Theo withdrew his hand, and in an instant, Ellinor slammed the door shut and locked it!

"..."

Veins popped out on Theo's forehead as he patiently knocked on the door, “Come on, open up, let me in!"

There was no response inside the room; Ellinor gave him the silent treatment.

Frowning, Theo called out, “Ellinor, can you hear me? Open the door!”

Still no response.

Theo sighed; lowering his pride, he began to coax her, “Sweetie, come on, open the door, will ya?”

“What's the problem? At least let me know why?”

“It's my fault; I came back late; I deserve a smack!”

“Ellinor, Ellinor...”

“Mr. Blanchet...”

Collin’s voice suddenly echoed from behind Theo.

Theo turned around with a glacial look.

Theo: "Open the door; I have something to tell you."

Ellinor didn't reply.

After waiting for a minute without any response, Theo resisted the urge to throw his phone and sent another message: "Collin just brought some barbecue."

Three seconds later, click, the door to the room opened.

With a serious expression, Theo picked up the food Collin had delivered, using it as an excuse to get in...

Ellinor opened the food box to find chicken soup; she immediately scowled and looked at Theo, "Where's my barbecue?"

Leaning against the window, Theo didn't sense anything amiss; he calmly replied, "You're having a severe allergic reaction right now so you can't eat greasy and spicy food and should follow the doctor's dietary advice."

"Liar!" Ellinor huffed; although she was unhappy, she didn't hesitate to eat the chicken soup because she was hungry!

Theo sat beside her, watching her eat in silence.

Not until Ellinor put down her spoon did Theo speak up, "Are you full? I have something to tell you..."

Ellinor cut him off, "You don't need to tell me your stuff; I don't want to know."

Theo frowned, his eyes deep, "Why didn't you let me in just now?"
