The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 228

The door swung open. Standing there, in all his grim seriousness, was Byran.

Belinda's brows furrowed the moment she saw him. "Byran, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see Ellinor!"

"And why would you want to see her? You and Haillie are two peas in a pod. You're not welcome here!"

With a furious glance at her, Byran retorted, "Move aside; I'm not here for you."

Pushing Belinda away, he barged into the suite. Seeing Ellinor's arm wrapped in bandages, he sighed in frustration. "Ellinor, I heard you got bitten by a snake?"

Lounging lazily in her chair, legs crossed, Ellinor replied, "Mhm, I did."

Looking somewhat uncomfortable, Byran asked, "Are you okay?"

With a playful kick in the air and a smirk, Ellinor replied, "I'm fine; the snake wasn't venomous. You must be disappointed, huh?"

Byran frowned, "Ellinor, I'm not as bad as you think. I just wanted you to stay away from Theo. I didn't want anything bad to happen to you!"

Belinda stepped in to interrogate him, "Byran, you're such a piece of work! Who do you think you are to ask her to stay away from Theo? They're married! It's none of your business!"

Byran was fuming, "Ugh! Get lost; I'm not arguing with you!"

Belinda shot back angrily, "Who are you calling a fool? You're the fool here!"

Ellinor looked at Byran calmly, "I'm sorry, but you've got the wrong person. You should be asking your sister to talk to Theo, not me, the victim."

Byran's brows furrowed in anxiety.

"I can't ask my sister! She's too kind-hearted. If she found out what Haillie did for her, she'd be devastated and blame herself! Plus, my sister isn't well. I'm worried that all the worry and anxiety will keep her up at night."

Ellinor couldn't help but feel a little moved as she watched Byran's concern for his sister.

Such a strong sibling bond was truly rare.

Patricia, who held such an important place in Theo's heart and was cared for so deeply by her brother, was indeed special. He was so protective of her that he couldn't bear the thought of her losing sleep over something. Even her best friend, Haillie, was willing to hurt others just to help her resolve a romantic rivalry.
