Ellinor unabashedly seated herself on the edge of the bed. "It's Saturday. I have no work, and I'm bored."
Marcus' brow furrowed further. "Don't come over in the morning next time. I understand you're agile, but it's dangerous to always enter through the window. Be careful."
Ellinor kicked her legs up nonchalantly. "I come because I know I won’t get caught."
Marcus was at a loss with her. His tone was clearly annoyed. "Alright, I can't control you. Do whatever you want."
Ellinor raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you angry?"
Marcus had a stern face. He maneuvered his wheelchair to the bay window, silently staring out. "No."
Ellinor got up, walked over, and turned his wheelchair to face her, forcing him to look at her. "Hey! You dare be angry with me?"
Marcus looked up at her. "Why would I be angry? You're just doing what you want to do. What right do I have to interfere?"
Ellinor pinched his chin. "Still saying you're not angry? Your expression clearly shows that you're cursing me in your heart."
Marcus was expressionless. "No, my expression is always like this."
Ellinor chuckled. "Oh, please! I've seen all your expressions. How could I not know if you're angry or not?"
Marcus was annoyed. He couldn't stand up, and he couldn't remember his past. It felt like he was stuck in a swamp, unable to ever get out.
Ellinor felt tired from bending over, so she simply squatted in front of him, resting her cheek on her hands. "Are you angry that I came to see you early in the morning, or are you angry that I went to the balcony? Or, are you angry that I disturbed your alone time with Sophia?"
Upon hearing her innocent words, Marcus' annoyance eased off a bit. "I'm angry at myself for not being able to protect you and the child."
Ellinor smirked. "Then you should be angry at yourself. You're so sluggish."
