Chapter 618
Ellinor quickly picked up on the fact that he seemed to be hinting at something else Facing his eager gaze, she instinctively looked away
‘Mr Blanchet, what the hell are you talking about? I wouldn’t dream of stealing from the Blanchets!
With that, she reached for the car door, eager to make a quick exit.
But the door was locked, and she couldn’t get it open
Ellinor was a mix of anger and frustration. She tugged at the door handle. “Open the door, I want to get out!”
Theo moved closer “If you didn’t steal anything, why the rush?”
Ellinor felt a warm breath on her neck that startled her. “What the bell?! Back off!”
Instinctively, she swatted at him, trying to push him away But she accidentally hit his injured left eye.
Theo grunted and quickly covered his eye, grimacing in pain.
Watching this, Ellinor panicked. “Uh Sorry, I didn’t mean to! Is your eye okay?”
Theo, still covering his eye, couldn’t hide his gloom. He glared at her with his remaining eye. “What do you think?”
Ellinor blamed herself for being too rough. Usually calm and collected, her tone was unusually gentle. “I’m sorry… Does it hurt?”
“Yes, it hurts!”
For a tough guy like him to admit it hurt, it must have been pretty bad!
Could he lose his sight?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Forgetting everything else, she quickly turned to Collin, who was frozen in the front seat, “What are you dazing at? Drive and get Mr. Blanchet to the hospital!”
“…Okay’
Collin snapped out of it and started the car. They left the Bagleys and headed for the hospital.
In the car, Ellinor no longer insisted on getting out. She craned her neck to check the road ahead. The road was clear, and they should reach the hospital soon
After checking the road, she turned her attention to Theo
Seeing him still covering his left eye made her uneasy. So she slid closer “Um… Mr. Blanchet, do you want to move your hand so I can see how your eye is?”
Theo raised an eyebrow and glanced at her
He didn’t answer, but he took his hand away from his eye for her to see
To get a good look at his eye, Ellinor straightened up and leaned towards him. His eye seemed to be worse than earlier
Her heart clenched with worry, and she felt incredibly tense
Ellinor looked at him with concern and asked gently, “Does your eye hurt a lot?”
The answered, “A lot.”
Ellinor looked around frantically, but there was nothing in the car to help alleviate the pain.
Out of options, she thought for a moment and said, “Or maybe I can blow on it?”
Theo hesitated and didn’t respond, neither agreeing nor disagreeing
Ellinor took his silence as a yes. She leaned closer and gently blew on his eye.
Theo let her do it. The gentle breeze on his eyelid felt like a light massage, and it did help with the pain a bit.
Seeing Theo’s furrowed brows gradually relax, Ellinor figured her blowing was working and continued.
Suddenly, Theo opened his left eye, meeting her gaze.
They were so close that they could feel each other’s breaths on their skin.
