Chapter 55

Bartlett suddenly bent down, leaning in close to her ear, and whispered, “If you like it, I can gift it to you

as a wedding present at our wedding”

Ellinor slightly lifted the comers of her mouth, her eyes revealing disdain, and didn’t respond to his joke

She was contemplating how to persuade Bartlett to sell her the three paintings when all of a sudden,

she felt a wave of discomfort rising from the pit of her stomach!

Ellinor knitted her brows, her face turning pale.

“What’s wrong” Bartlett noticed her discomfort and asked in a low voice.

Ellinor’s forehead was dotted with sweat and her lips were slightly pale T…I suddenly feel unwell…”

Bartlett looked worried. “The air conditioning in the gallery is pretty intense. Did you catch a cold?”

“Maybe!” Ellinor gritted her teeth, her body trembling slightly

Bartlett took off his coat and draped it over her, saying softly. “I’ll take you to the lounge to rest. It’s

warmer there because the air conditioning is off”

“Okay, thanks” Ellinor was unsteady on her feet and had to accept Bartlett’s assistance.

In the shadows, Byran captured the entire scene on his phone, sneering, “A man and a woman

sneaking off to an empty lounge in the middle of the day, who would believe they’re not up to

something!”

Byran had caught Ellinor’s weak spot and immediately sent the gallery’s location to Veronica!

Inside the lounge

Ellinor’s face was growing paler, her body weak.

Bartlett brought her a glass of water, “How do you feel? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

Ellinor clutching her stomach, slowly shook her head, “No, I’ll be fine after resting here for a bit. You

don’t need to worry about me, go join your friends

Bartlett didn’t leave but sat nearby, watching her with concern. “Are you really scared of hospitals?”

Ellinor was taken aback and didn’t deny it.

It didn’t feel great to have a stranger see through her

She really hated hospitals. As a child, she got sick and her mother took her to the hospital for an IV.

When she woke up, her mother was gone.

She stayed in the hospital alone for seven days, each day filled with unease.

Later, her father, Arnold Mendoza, appeared, told her that her mother had passed away, and took her

home from the hospital.

Seeing her mood, Bartlett didn’t probe further, “My private doctor is on his way. You should lie down

and rest. When the doctor arrives. I’ll call you.”

“Thank you Ellinor was feeling too unwell to resist, so she lay down on the lounge’s small bed, curling

up in an attempt to alleviate the pain in her abdomen.

She was covered with Bartlett’s coat, and later, Bartlett ordered someone to bring a blanket to cover

her with

Meanwhile

“Veronica, why did you bring me to a gallery? I don’t like looking at paintings. There’s soup simmering

at home. I’m waiting for Ellinor to come back and have it!”

Veronica, supporting Marissa Blanchet, walked into the gallery and smiled, “Grandma, you’ll see

Ellinoronce you go in.”

Marissa was a bit puzzled. “Veronica, are you saying Ellinor is here too?”

Veronica chuckled and nodded

The gallery staff recognized Marissa and politely ushered her in.

Veronica led Marissa into the gallery and ran into Byran, who unhesitatingly led Marissa to the lounge.

Ignoring the gallery staff’s attempts to stop him, Byran kicked open the lounge door and saw Ellinor,

weak and leaning against Bartlett.

Marissa had been a bit confused, but was instantly shocked after seeing what was happening in the

lounge. “Ellinor?! What…what are you doing“”
