The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1424

After hearing Ellinor's response, Veronica toned down her voice. "But..."

Ellinor didn't want to be persuaded. She made her intentions clear. "I won't be going back with you, nor will I go to the Howard family’s home. I'll stay in the hospital. If you want to see me or the babies, you're welcome anytime."

Marissa's eyebrows were knit in worry, but she still wanted to take her home. "Ellinor..."

Ellinor softened her tone towards the elder lady. "Grandma, you don't need to say anything more. Until Theo returns, I won't be going to your home. I'm a bit tired now and would like to rest, so I won't keep you. Ida, take Marissa and Veronica to the nursery to see the babies, then see them out for me."

"Sure! Marissa, Ms. Veronica, please follow me."

Marissa frowned, understanding that Ellinor was still holding a grudge against Theo. She sighed and gave up, not forcing her anymore.

She hadn't seen her great-grandson and great-granddaughter yet and was eager to do so.

Before leaving with Ida, Marissa turned back to Ellinor. "Ellinor, you must take care of your health during postpartum confinement. Don't catch a cold or let wind in; keep the windows in the ward shut; and don't eat anything cold, okay?"

Ellinor nodded. "I'll keep that in mind. Don't worry."

Marissa sighed deeply. "Alright, I'll go see the baby now and come to see you another day."

Veronica made a face and reluctantly bid Ellinor goodbye. "Ellinor, I'll help Grandma leave. Remember to follow her advice and take care of yourself. Otherwise, my brother will worry when he comes back."
