The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1079

Ellinor didn't appreciate Bartlett's ability to laugh so heartily in such a serious environment. She frowned in disapproval, "You can come in with me, but you'd better tone down the cheerfulness a bit! This isn't a place to crack jokes willy-nilly!"

Bartlett quickly wiped the smile off his face and nodded, "Gotcha."

Then Ellinor opened the car door and got out, with Bartlett following closely.

Collin was worried about leaving Ellinor and Mr. Rex together, so he found a spot to park that wouldn't be in the way and followed them into the monastery.

The place wasn't exactly bustling, but there were a handful of worshippers around.

Ellinor slowly walked in, taking in the surroundings as she went. It seemed like nothing had changed over the years.

As she entered the main hall, she saw Karan treating a worshipper on one side of the room.

Karan instructed the worshipper, "Get your prescription filled and take the medicine on time. Watch your diet; avoid spicy and fishy foods."

The worshipper took the prescription, thanked Karan gratefully, bowed, and left.

Ellinor watched for a moment before moving forward and sitting down.

Karan was tidying up her desk and did not look up at the newcomer. She simply asked, "What seems to be the problem?"

Ellinor took a deep breath and whispered, "Karan."

Karan paused in her tidying, then looked up at her as surprise filled her eyes.

Her kind face was unchanged, save for a few more lines at the corners of her eyes, making her look older.
