The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 290

Ellinor willingly cooperated with the cops, and although Theo was far from thrilled, he didn't say anything else, respecting her decision.

So, Ellinor's hands were cuffed up by the police.

At the same time, they posted a guard at her hospital room door, temporarily restricting her freedom of movement.

Since Ellinor's condition required IV treatment, the cops didn't immediately start questioning her.

The police put humane treatment first, listened to the doctor's advice, and agreed to let her finish her treatment before the interrogation began.

Ellinor had the breakfast Theo had sent over and managed to have a little snooze while she was being treated.

Patricia's voice came from behind him.

This unruly girl was now meekly being interrogated on a regular day, looking quite pitiful.

Theo watched, feeling frustrated but unable to intervene because she didn't want him to.

Patricia didn't leave either; she stood next to Theo, watching his expressions, quietly waiting for the result.

"Theo, if...just if it really was Ellinor who hurt me yesterday, would you divorce her?"

Patricia suddenly spoke again, tentatively probing.

Theo's deep gaze paused momentarily; without much thought, he said, "No."

Tears shimmered in Patricia's eyes, "Why? She should be punished for her wrongdoing..."
