The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1397

"Ellinor, it's me."

The voice on the other end of the phone wasn't Theo's, but Collin's.

Ellinor furrowed her brows as her suspicions grew. "Collin, why are you answering the phone? Where's Theo?"

On the other side, Collin was standing in a guest room at Thaddeus Manor, anxiously watching as several doctors treated Theo's injuries and cast his legs.

Theo's face was pale, and his forehead was covered in a sheen of sweat as he endured the pain.

Collin had been with Theo for many years and had never seen him beaten up like this. It upset him greatly.

But if he were to confront Thaddeus now, all the pain Theo had endured would be for nothing.

Theo was not the type to let Thaddeus strut around in front of him, and Theo's tolerance was solely for the sake of coming to an agreement with Sophia and successfully annulling the marriage certificate. Only then could he go back and explain things to Ellinor.

Remembering what Theo had said when he handed him his coat, Collin took a deep breath and forced a casual tone. "Ellinor, Mr. Blanchet is very tired. He's asleep."

Asleep?

Ellinor felt like something was off. It should be morning in M State. It was broad daylight.

But considering that Theo just flew over and was probably still jet-lagged from the twenty-plus hour flight, he must have been tired.

"Have you guys arrived at Sophia's place yet?"

Collin, feeling guilty, tried his best to lie without giving anything away. "Not yet. Mr. Blanchet is resting in the car. Ellinor, do you want to talk to Mr. Blanchet? Should I wake him up?"

Ellinor hesitated before saying, "No, let him sleep a little longer. Have him call me back when he wakes up."

"Okay, Ellinor. Don't worry. Mr. Blanchet is fine."
