Chapter 276

Seeing Theo walk in, Belinda immediately got up from the bedside, clearing a spot for him.

Then she saw Patricia, who had come in with him, and her face faltered a bit. She instinctively looked

at Ellinor’s reaction.

Ellinor’s expression was calm, revealing nothing

“Awake yet?”

Theo strolled over to the bed, standing with an air of grace. His hands were tucked into his pockets, his

game deep as he looked down at her

“Yep.” Ellinor nodded, meeting Theo’s slender eyes momentarily before shifting her gaze to Patricia

beside him.

Getting her silent question. Theo glanced at Patricia and then casually explained, “She wanted to come

see you”

Belinda chuckled lightly from the side.

Patricia, like Ellinor, was dressed in a baggy hospital gown, her forehead wrapped in gauze. Her injured

appearance made her frail and delicate, like a sickly belle needing

care

But she wasn’t arrogant, her face filled with a cheerful and easy smile as she stepped forward, “Ellinor,

I heard from Theo you were hospitalized for an allergic reaction, so I was a bit worried I thought I’d

come to check on you. How’re you feeling now?”

Ellinor responded politely. “Thanks for the concern, I’m much better. How about you, Ms. Howard? You

seem to be hurt too. Are you okay?”

Patricia touched the gauze on her forehead and sighed, “I’m fine. The car accident wasn’t serious, just

a scrape on my head. But my family insisted on me staying in the hospital for a few days.”

Her face showed a hint of annoyance as she said this, clearly frustrated with her family’s

overprotectiveness.

Yet, this frustration inadvertently revealed that she was a cherished darling, surrounded by her family’s

love.

Having been protected and spoiled since childhood, never lacking wealth, company, or love, getting

everything, she remained a child throughout.

She must have done a lot of good in her past life to have such good luck.

Ellinor smiled without saying anything.

Patricia noticed something was off, looking around the room. Only Belinda was there beside her and

Theo, who had just entered.

“Ellinor, where’s your family? Why aren’t they here taking care of you?”

Upon hearing this, Ellinor’s face darkened slightly.

Family?

She had none

Only recently, she found out that Arnold Mendoza wasn’t her biological father. So even Sheila

Mendoza, who she thought was her half–sister, was actually unrelated to her.

And the Mendoza family relatives in the countryside had nothing to do with her either.

She had no family at all.

Ellinor didn’t respond, but Belinda did.

“Ms. Howard, that’s a strange statement. Aren’t Mr. Blanchet and I considered her family? We are both

here with her in the hospital.”

Patricia looked at Belinda and explained, “Belinda, I think you misunderstood me. I know you guys are

family to Ellinor, I was just wondering why none of her blood relatives

are here”

Belinda wasn’t aware of Ellinor’s family situation and thought Patricia was being nosy. “Mr. Blanchet

and I are enough, we don’t need to bother Ellinor’s own family!”

But Patricia disagreed, “It’s essential to keep everyone in the loop so that they don’t end up worrying

Ellinor’s allergic reaction is severe, and she must be uncomfortable. It would be better for her mood to

have her closest family with her”

Belinda thought Patricia’s words made sense, so she politely asked Ellinor, ‘Do you want your family to

come? Should we have someone go get them?”

Ellinor shook her head, saying it’s just a minor injury, no need to make a fuss. I’ll be fine in a couple of

days.”

Belinda obeyed, believing whatever Ellinor said, so she nodded and said nothing more.

However, seeing that she couldn’t persuade Ellinor, Patricia turned her worried eyes to Theo, “Theo,

Ellinor’s too strong, but I still think it’d be better to let her family know.”
