The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1011

“What?! Ellinor is pregnant?” Outside the emergency room, Marissa overheard Haillie, totally taken aback. She

jumped up and rushed over, staring at her grandson in shock, “Theo, is this true?”

Theo hadn’t officially spilled the beans about Ellinor’s pregnancy to the family. He was worried that his grandma

would only focus on stuffing Ellinor with nutrients, and Ellinor, not wanting to turn down her kindness, might end up

overeating and harming herself.

Well, there was no point in keeping it a secret now. He nodded at his grandma.

Marissa was already worried about Ellinor’s safety, and now she had to worry about the child in her womb too. She

felt a wave of darkness pass over her vision, her chest tightened, and she found it hard to breathe.

With his long arm, Theo caught his grandma just as she was about to faint and sternly told his sister, “Veronica,

take Grandma and let her rest!”

For once, Veronica was acting sensible. She took over from her brother and helped their grandma sit down on a

chair against the wall.

Seeing an opportunity to avoid further questioning from Theo, Haillie followed Veronica to help Marissa. After a

moment of thought, she tried to comfort the old woman, “Marissa, don’t get too worked up. The child in Ellinor’s

belly might not even be Theo’s. She didn’t really answer me when I asked her today. I think Ellinor…”

Smack!

Before she could finish, a slap landed on her face, cutting her off.

Haillie’s ears were ringing. When the ringing finally stopped, she turned to look at the person who slapped her, her

eyes wide in disbelief, “Balfour, you hit me?”

Balfour had always been a gentleman despite his cold demeanor. He had never laid his hands on a woman before.

He looked down at Haillie, his expression cold, “Watch your mouth. Do you think it’s ethical to badmouth someone

who’s unconscious and can’t defend herself?”

Haillie’s eyes welled up with tears. She was heartbroken and at a loss for words, “Balfour, I…”

Meanwhile, Marissa didn’t understand the complex relationships of these youngsters and didn’t want to deal with

them. She just prayed to God, “Oh God, please keep Ellinor and her child safe…”

Just then, the light in the emergency room went off. The doctor came out, drenched in sweat. He took off his mask,

shook his head, and sighed, “I’m sorry, we’ve done our best!”

Resuscitation failed.

Upon hearing the news, Marissa was stunned. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Veronica panicked, “Grandma! Grandma…”

After a moment of shock, Theo’s face turned as cold as death, “What did you say? Say that again?”

The chilling aura emanating from the man made the doctor shiver, but he couldn’t lie to the patient’s family, “I’m

sorry, Mr. Blanchet. Your wife was brought in too late…”
