The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1032

His expression was unreadable; he was just squinting his eyes and staring at her.

Veronica kept quiet. She had seen her brother's reaction firsthand when he thought Ellinor was dead. She knew how much Ellinor meant to her brother and could guess that his feelings must be all over the place right now. It was best for her to stay out of it.

Ellinor approached Theo. "Theo."

As she got close, she noticed Theo holding a cigarette, unlit.

She wasn't sure if it was because he couldn't smoke in the hospital or for some other reason.

It seemed like he hadn't smoked in a long time.

The guy threw the unlit cigarette into a nearby trash can, took off his jacket, and draped it over Ellinor.

Without a word, he turned and walked away.

Ellinor furrowed her brow and followed him.

Even with her slow uptake, Veronica could sense the tension between them. She didn't dare get too close, trailing silently and distantly.

On the way, Theo and Ellinor didn't exchange a single word.

Meanwhile, in the morgue.

Quinton only dared walk in with his crutches when he saw the situation inside had calmed down. "Sir, the doctor said you shouldn't walk on your injured foot."

Balfour didn't say anything; he just calmly took the crutches and put them under his arm.
