“Theo.” She called out softly as she slowly walked towards him.
Theo turned his head towards her, silently putting out his cigarette.
Ellinor fixed her beautiful eyes on him, “Why are you hiding out here smoking alone? Aren’t you going to check on
your grandma?”
Theo squinted slightly, and with his expression unchanged, he simply asked, “How’s Grandma?”
“She’s awake; she had some food; she’ll be fine.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo nodded slightly, his voice indifferent, “That’s good.”
Ellinor was a bit unsettled by his demeanor and frowned, “Theo, am I disturbing your smoke? You don’t want to deal
with me?”
Theo looked at her but didn’t answer.
Ellinor waited quietly for a while, but he didn’t say anything, making her feel a bit upset, “Sorry, I disturbed you. I’ll
leave you to it then!”
With that, she turned around, ready to leave.
“Ellinor, do you find it amusing?”
Theo suddenly asked from behind her; his tone was low, and his mood was hard to read.
Ellinor halted; it took her a while to turn around and ask, “What’s amusing?”
Theo’s expression turned more serious, “Scaring me, do you find it amusing?”
Ellinor got his point. She pouted as she tried to explain, “Theo, I texted you from the ER; you didn’t check. I also
messaged Collin; didn’t he tell you I was okay?”
Theo’s eyes were dull, and his jaw was clenched, “You still don’t see your mistake, do you? Ellinor, will my death
satisfy you?”
Ellinor was taken aback, feeling uncomfortable, “…When did I ever want you dead?”
Theo pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, “Right! Some little shit is after my life!”
Ellinor felt a mix of anger and guilt, “I just thought if I didn’t deal with Patricia, she’d keep causing me trouble. If I

Theo scolded her sternly, “So you purposely got hit by a car?”
Ellinor frowned, “I didn’t mean to; I really didn’t think Haillie would use the same trick twice! She had already used
the car accident ploy a couple days ago; who would have thought she’d use it again?”
Theo snorted, “You knew it was dangerous, but you still took the risk, right?”
Even though he was blaming her, his embrace tightened.
Ellinor sighed, “I was wrong; I won’t worry you again.”
Theo angrily said, “You think there’s going to be a next time?”
Ellinor quickly replied, “No, there will be no next time!”
After hearing her say that, Theo’s anger finally subsided a bit.
