Chapter 279

Ellinor licked her lips and said, “There’s a cake I baked in the fridge at home Can you ask Collin to grab

it for me? I’m kinda craving it now!

Theo responded with a frosty gaze. “Anything else?”

Ellinor shook her head, “Nope, that’s it”

Theo’s face darkened, but he stared at her intensely, “Ellinor, if you have any questions for me, spit it

out now I’ll answer”

“No questions!

Ellinor turned her face to look at the sky outside the window, yawned, and ignored him

Why should she ask anything? She wasn’t his wife or anything Too many questions would just piss him

off

Theo’s gaze hardened, staring at her calm demeanor, his lips sealed tight.

If it werent for the sight of her injured hand, he might have wanted to shake some sense into her!

She was really getting on his nerves Theo massaged his brow, trying to keep his cool.

Then he took Ellinor’s bandaged hand into his, examining it for any swelling, asking, “Does your hand

still hurt?”

Still looking out the window, Ellinor responded casually, “It’s fine. I can handle it

Theo said sternly. “The doctor has tested you for all possible allergens. Remember whatever comes

back positive and avoid them in the future.”

Ellinor rolled her eyes, “Fine, got it. I don’t fancy dying. I’ll care for myself!

“Look at me when you’re talking”

Theo’s voice suddenly took on a commanding tone.

Ellinor sighed reluctantly and turned her face towards him, only to be met with his deep eyes. Her heart

started pounding

What kind of look was that?

Why was he so close to her?

What was he trying to do?

Theo rested one hand on the edge of the bed and the other on the mattress next to her, leaning in to

look at her, “Are you sure you have no questions for me?”

Ellinor shook her head. “No… What do you want me to ask you?”

Theo leaned closer, “I want you to ask me…”

He deliberately slowed his speech.

Ellinor’s heart raced. Her hands were both immobile now. She blurted out anxiously, “. I’m sleepy!”

“You just woke up, how can you be sleepy?”

Theo frowned, reaching out to touch her forehead. She wasn’t feverish.

Ellinor blinked, feeling guilty, Tm fine! I just have the habit of napping around this time. Otherwise, I feel

uncomfortable.”

‘Then sleep‘

Theo frowned deeply, then stood up, moving the pillow from behind her, and gently guided her to lie

back down.

“All right, sleep”

Ellinor was a bit dazed. She wasn’t used to being taken care of so attentively by this high–profile man.

Just before she closed her eyes to sleep, she hesitated, then ventured, “Theo, if I fall asleep, don’t

leave. Wait until Belinda comes back.”

Theo looked at this girl who rarely asked for his help, his eyes narrowed, “What, are you scared to be

alone?”

“No,”

Theo’s rough hand suddenly cupped her cheek, his fingers gently stroking her soothingly, “You don’t

have to put on a brave face in front of me. It’s normal for a girl to be scared alone in a strange place. I

won’t laugh at you”

Ellinor felt slighted, she retorted stubbornly, “Are you looking down on me? I’m not scared! I’m just

worried that when the IV runs out, and there’s no one around, I’ll die!”

Theo’s brow creased, his expression instantly serious

If anyone could ruin the mood in a split second, it was definitely her.

Theo sighed helplessly gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, “Don’t worry, I won’t let

anything happen to you”

Ellinor paused, thep turned her face away and closed her eyes, murmuring to herself, “Yes, you won’t

let anything happen to me.

But for the next three months, it’s unlikely to happen
