The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 233

In her dream, she was back to her childhood. Feeling under the weather, her mom took her to the hospital.

While receiving intravenous treatment, her mother inquired if she was feeling hungry. She mentioned that she would go out to get her some food and return shortly.

Standing at the ward door, her mom turned back, her eyes seemingly welled up with tears.

However, in the dream, her mom's face had become blurry; she just couldn't get a clear look at it, no matter what.

Then, Arnold came to the hospital and told her, "I'm your dad. From now on, remember that we share the same last name, got it? Let's head home."

Back then, she was just a kid, not knowing if her previous last name came from her mom.

All she remembered was her mom always gently calling her “Lunar”; her nickname was Lunar. The day she learned her last name, she became Lunar Mendoza.

Afterward, she was sent to a monastery where a person named Karan thought that the name Lunar sounded like a solitary moon in the dark, too sad for a child.

So, Karan renamed her Ellinor, hoping her future life wouldn't be so lonely.

From then on, she was always called Ellinor.

And Karan was the only warmth in her abandoned childhood.

The dream was like an endless maze, with no exits to be found, no matter how hard she tried to run away.

In the maze, she sometimes saw Karan's shadow. Karan told her, "Ellinor, be careful on your own in Greenhaven; don't trust people easily, especially men."

Ellinor woke up with a start. Everything was quiet in the room; nothing happened.

It was just a dream!

Before Ellinor could relax, she could taste tobacco in her mouth…

This was odd because she never smoked; why would a cigarette taste be in her mouth?

Ellinor frowned, realizing two rough fingers were pinching her chin, her lips lightly bitten. With the moonlight pouring in from the window, she could finally see the man's face right before her; it was Theo!

Was this man secretly kissing her?!
