Chapter 1324
At the hospital.
After examining Ellinor, the doctor came out to explain to her family. “She fainted due to excessive emotional
fluctuations, but luckily, she was brought here in time. Both the mother and the baby are okay.”
Upon hearing the doctor’s feedback, Balfour and Byran finally relaxed and sighed in relief.
The doctor continued. “However, her due date is fast approaching, and due to the shock, she may go into labor
early. I suggest admitting her straight away.”
Balfour was planning to do just that. After Ellinor’s ordeal, he didn’t feel comfortable taking her home.
So he nodded at Quinton next to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Go and get Ellinor admitted.”
Quinton respectfully responded, “Yes, Mr. Howard.”
After watching Quinton head off to handle the admission paperwork, Byran frowned at Balfour. “Why did Theo…
Balfour scowled. “Don’t you dare bring it up again? Do you think Ellinor’s shock wasn’t big enough?”
Realizing he had said something he shouldn’t, Byran sadly lowered his head, saying no more.
Balfour warned him again. “When you go in, don’t mention Theo in front of Ellinor.”
Byran nodded. “Yeah, I got it.”
When Balfour entered the ward, Ellinor was already awake. She was staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Seeing Ellinor like this made Balfour feel indescribable pain. He approached the bed and gently asked, “Ellinor, how
do you feel? Any discomfort?”
Without turning her head, Ellinor shook her head, her voice unusually cold. “I’m fine; nothing’s wrong.”
Balfour couldn’t help but feel like something was wrong with her after seeing her like this. He reached out to touch
Ellinor’s head.
“Ellinor, I had Quinton admit you to the hospital. You should stay here until your delivery. I’ll be by your side the
entire time; don’t worry.”
Ellinor came back to her senses slightly and looked at Balfour. “You don’t have to do this. Go on with your work; I’ll
be okay here alone. Don’t worry, I’ve calmed down, and I won’t mess around with the baby in my belly.”
Balfour was somewhat relieved to hear her say this. “Ellinor, that’s the best attitude to have. Things have happened
and can’t be undone. The most important thing is to live well and protect those around you, like your child.”
Ellinor smiled faintly. “Of course! I will definitely protect my child! As for that man, I have nothing to do with him
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanymore. What does it matter whether he’s dead or alive? If he’s alive, he’ll just cause trouble for me and my child.
Might as well be dead and out of the way! That way, I won’t have to worry about anyone trying to take my child
away, right?”
Balfour frowned. “Alright, now that you understand, stop thinking about it and get some rest.”
Byran wiped away his tears and grumbled angrily, “Humph! Even if you’ve broken up, you can’t say such harsh
words! Theo was so good to you, how can you think him being dead is a good thing?”
After hearing this, Balfour coldly raised his eyes and sternly scolded him, “Get out!”
Feeling upset, Byran unusually expressed his displeasure towards his brother. He scoffed and stormed off.
While watching Byran leave, Balfour gently said, “Ellinor, don’t mind him; he doesn’t understand.”
Ellinor nodded “Brother, I suddenly want to eat a cream puff.”
“Okay, I have someone buy it for you right away.” As Balfour agreed, he didn’t notice anything unusual at first, until
he showed a surprised expression and looked at Ellinor in disbelief.
“Ellinor, what did you just call me?”
