The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1673

Outside the room.

Byran was huddled up next to Ellinor, chatting away. When he noticed his brother, Balfour, approaching, he quickly hid behind Ellinor.

Balfour shot an icy glance at his misbehaving brother but chose to ignore him. He approached Ellinor, speaking in a gentle tone. "Ellinor, let's head home. I'll accompany you."

Ellinor nodded and prepared to leave with him.

Before leaving, Balfour sternly gave out an order to Byran. "Stay here and keep an eye on him. Make sure nothing happens."

Byran nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, Bro! I won't leave Dad's side!"

Balfour averted his gaze, leading Ellinor towards the elevator.

It was only after watching his brother and sister disappear into the elevator that Byran dared to exhale.

Thank goodness Balfour left.

He had feared that his brother would have given him a good thrashing.

After he was relieved that he hadn't been punished, Byran entered the hospital room.

"Dad, I brought Ellinor to see you, so you need to take your medication and eat properly, okay?"

McNeil looked up at Byran and managed a weak smile. "Byran, I know it wasn't easy for you to go against your brother. You're always afraid of him."

Byran sighed. "Dad, I'm scared of him, but don't you know Balfour? He may seem tough, but he actually cares about us."

McNeil smiled. "I suppose."

Byran sat by the hospital bed as his curiosity piqued. "Dad, what did Ellinor say to you? Did you guys have a good chat? I saw her feeding you soup."

McNeil thought about his recent interaction with his daughter.

"She was willing to feed me, not because of who I am, but because she's kind."

Baffled by her actions, Balfour asked, "Ellinor, what's wrong?"

Ellinor's brows were furrowed as she stared intently in one direction. "Mr. Howard, look over there."

Balfour followed her gaze, and his pupils constricted.

It was Sophia and Theo.

Sophia was pushing Theo, who was seated in a wheelchair, down the hospital hallway.

Upon seeing Sophia and Theo disappear around a corner, Ellinor immediately stepped out from their hiding spot and followed them.

Balfour, knowing that he couldn't deter Ellinor when it came to matters involving that man, decided to follow her.

They watched as Sophia wheeled Theo into an unmarked consultation room.
