Chapter 969

Though Balfour was a bit miffed with Theo, he couldn’t help but muster a playful grin, lifting up his hands and

spreading his arms wide. “I’m all yours then, husband of Ellinor.”

Theo’s brow furrowed at the nickname as a mixture of amusement and annoyance stirred within him.

In the end, he didn’t give Balfour a piggyback, not wanting another man clinging to his back, yet he couldn’t dismiss

his wife’s commands. So, Theo stepped forward, bent down, and with his sturdy arms, he hoisted Balfour up,

carrying him out of the hospital’s doors. All eyes were on them even before Theo set Balfour down in the car.

A handsome man carrying another equally handsome man was definitely a sight that turned heads.

The nurses at the front desk could barely contain their squeals as their eyes widened with surprise. They clamped

their hands over their mouths to muffle their shrieks.

Patients around the hospital stole glances at them as their eyes filled with curiosity.

Balfour, however, felt incredibly uncomfortable. This was the first time he’d been carried like this by another man in

public. He was mortified and afraid of being recognized, yet he was unable to jump down and walk on his own.

Angrily, he shot Theo a glare before burying his face into Theo’s chest, hoping to hide his identity.

His actions, to onlookers, made it seem as though he was being shy, fueling the ambiguous atmosphere between

them.

Ellinor felt awkward in the situation, unsure whether to stay close or keep her distance.

Finally, they reached the hospital’s parking lot, where fewer people were around.

Theo roughly set Balfour down in the backseat, slamming the door shut. He brushed down his clothes with a hint of

annoyance.

Then he moved to the front passenger side, opened the door, and called out, “Ellinor, hop in!”

Ellinor quickened her pace and obediently got into the car, letting Theo buckle her seat belt.

After buckling himself in, Theo started the car and drove out of the hospital parking lot.

They hadn’t gotten far from the hospital when Balfour chimed in, “You don’t need to take me back to the Howard

family’s mansion.”

Theo kept his eyes on the road as Ellinor turned to ask Balfour, “Where are you planning on going then? You’re not

thinking of heading to the office, are you?”

Balfour shook his head at his sister, smiling as he said, “Don’t worry, I’m not heading to the office. I have an

apartment in West Coastland; it’s closer from here. You can just drop me off there.”

Ellinor frowned, “You shouldn’t worry about the distance; we don’t mind the gas money. Right, Theo?”

Theo chuckled, reaching over to gently tap her nose. His voice was low and indulgent as he said, “That’s right.”

Balfour interjected, “It’s not about the distance. I can’t go back. I don’t want my grandparents to see my injury.

They’ll worry too much. It’s not necessary to make them worry. Just drop me off at West Coastland; I want some

alone time.”

Ellinor understood Balfour’s concern about not wanting the elders to worry, but…

“With your leg injured, how are you going to take care of yourself?”

Balfour gave a slight chuckle, “I’ll get Quinton to arrange a caregiver. Don’t worry about me, Ellinor.”

Ellinor shrugged, turning to Theo, “Then let’s drop Mr. Howard off at West Coastland, Theo.”

Theo grunted in acknowledgment, steering the car towards West Coastland.

Upon reaching a posh neighborhood in West Coastland, Theo parked the car, once again faced with the task of

carrying Balfour out.
