The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chatper 1876

Chapter 1876

When Ellinor woke up, she found herself in a hospital.

The harsh fluorescent lights above made her break into a cold sweat.

“Baber!!!”

In her blurry vision, someone was gently rubbing her head, and a deep voice was whispering in her ear. “It’s okay;

everything is okay now.”

As Ellinor’s ragged breathing began to steady and her vision cleared, she saw the faces around her.

Ida, Chase, and Belinda, as well as Balfour, Byran, and McNeil, were all around her.

All of them were looking at her with a mix of pain and worry.

And the one who was holding her gently while whispering soothing words was Theo.

“Where’s Baber?” Ellinor sat up in Theo’s arms, her eyes red from crying.

Thep looked at her gently. “He’s okay; he’s awake. The doctors saved him. Don’t worry.”

Ellinor couldn’t believe it. She feared Theo was lying to calm her down. “Where is Baber? I want to see him!”

With that, she tried to jump out of the bed to go find her child.

Theo didn’t stop her. He just stood up with her while carefully supporting her, fearing she might fall due to her

haste.

“Slow down; put on your shoes first.” Theo held her hand, preventing her from rushing out. He bent down to

present her with the hospital slippers.

Ellinor was in a hurry; she didn’t care about such things, but if she didn’t put on the shoes, Theo wouldn’t let her go.

So, she quickly put them on.

“Where’s Baber?! Take me to him now!”

Theo held her hand. “I’ll take you to him; don’t worry. He’s in the pediatric ward. His great-grandparents and

Veronica are there with him.”

Ellinor nodded, obediently following Theo out of the room.

After Ellinor left, the rest stayed in the room, not wanting to add to the confusion.

Admiration filled Byran’s eyes as he sighed. “I truly admire Ellinor. Baber isn’t related to her by blood, but she

worries for him like this, and our other sister, she…”

Balfour didn’t say anything. They didn’t find Patricia on the mountain, but they did catch the old employee the fast-

food joint owner mentioned. After he got questioned by the police, they were pretty sure Patricia was the

mastermind behind Baber’s kidnapping.

Where was Patricia now? They had searched the entire Barren Mountain and found no sign of her.

“Dad, are you okay?” Byran noticed his father’s pallor, so he reached out to support him.

His father had woken up in the middle of the night to find them not at home. Sensing something was wrong, he

called Byran, who accidentally spilled the beans.

Worried about Ellinor, McNeil insisted on coming to the hospital despite his own unstable health condition. Now, the

exertion was making him pale. “Dad, I’ll arrange for someone to take you home, okay? Ellinor is awake now, so

everything will be fine. You should go home and rest.”

McNeil waved him off. “I’m okay, Byran. Just help me sit over there.”

With no other choice, Byran helped his father to a chair.
