The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1686

Chapter 1686

For reasons she couldn’t quite explain, she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she whipped out her phone and dialed her boss’ number.

The phone rang endlessly, but no one picked up.

After the busy tone, Ida immediately dialed the Blanchet Villa, asking if Ellinor was home, only to receive a negative

response.

Ida’s feeling of unease intensified. She pocketed her phone and turned to Byran. “When did she leave the hospital?”

Byran pondered for a moment. “About an hour or so before you arrived. My brother took her home. Why?”

Ida’s brow knitted. “Call your brother and ask if she is with him. Quick!”

Byran was confused by Ida’s urgency, but seeing her anxious state, he complied and dialed his brother’s number.

Truth be told, he was hesitant to call his brother. He was fearing an upcoming scolding.

However, there was no answer to the call.

Seeing Byran holding his phone without speaking, Ida guessed the situation. “No answer, right?”

Byran nodded. “Yeah, my brother isn’t picking up either. What’s going on, Ida? Are you worried about something?”

Ida confessed. “I saw Sophia when I was coming up to find you. I have a feeling that she didn’t come alone. Theo is

likely in this hospital too.”

Byran’s expression turned serious. “Are you worried that my brother and sister ran into Theo and haven’t left the

hospital?”

Ida nodded. “Yeah. I saw Sophia heading in a certain direction in the hospital. I’m going to go check it out.”

Byran promptly followed. “I’ll come with you!”

Ida furrowed her brows. “You should stay with your father. He needs you more.”

Byran grabbed Ida’s arm. “No way! How can I let you face that vicious woman alone?! My father has our servants

with him; he will be fine for now. Plus, seeing my sister alive and well has dissuaded him from any thoughts of

suicide. It’s okay if I accompany you for a bit.”

Ida couldn’t shake him off; he was insistent on accompanying her.

There was no time to waste. She needed to find Ellinor and ensure her safety.

Sophia would resort to any means to keep Theo by her side, so Ida was worried that the extreme woman might

harm Ellinor.

Without any more fuss, Ida led Byran down the stairs.

The two of them reached the first floor and found the eerily quiet hallway devoid of any human presence.

No medical personnel or patient was anywhere in sight. It was as if the whole area had been deliberately emptied.

Byran followed closely behind Ida while looking around. “Ida, are you sure Sophia came this way? There’s no one

here.”

Her suspicions were confirmed by the absence of people.

Ida held a finger to Byran’s lips, signaling him to keep quiet.

Byran fell silent, following Ida with caution while still keeping a wary eye on their surroundings.
