The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 861

Ellinor got up from Theo's arms, facing Patricia. She easily crossed her arms and said, "I don't have physical evidence, but my shared memories with Theo are enough to convince him."

Patricia didn't let it go. She questioned, "It's been so long; memories can be distorted! The one who saved Theo was clearly me! I just forgot the details at that time, and you just happened to guess the answer!

I remember now I only gave Theo a piece of dry bread every day because I was afraid that bringing more food would expose my secret getaway. Moreover, as far as I know, you didn't live in the mountain village where Theo was injured when you were a kid. Why would a kid like you be so far away from home? This shows you're obviously lying!"

Ellinor chuckled, "Ms. Howard, you're really not giving up, are you? Let me explain it in detail!

I grew up in a monastery. Back then, the one who adopted me, Karan, took me to the mountain in that village to collect herbs, so we stayed in the villager's house for a while.

One day, I got lost from Karan on the mountain, so I decided to go down the mountain and go back to the village by myself. On the way down, I heard someone coughing in the bushes, then I found Theo, who was seriously injured and bitten by a venomous snake!

I was learning traditional medicine from Karan since I was a kid, so I knew how to deal with these injuries and venom. I sucked out the snake venom for Theo, applied herbs, and bandaged the wound.

In the beginning, I thought Theo was blind and even mute due to the snake venom because he completely ignored me. No matter what I said, he didn't respond.

Later, I would pass by there every day on purpose, give Theo a piece of dry bread, and lend him some water from my bottle.

Gradually, Theo probably felt that I had no ill intentions. Only then he said thank you to me for the first time. At that time, I realized he was not mute.

If you ask me why I only gave the injured person dry bread to eat, it's because I grew up in a monastery, I wouldn't have any other delicate food, so I could only share my own dry bread with him.

Theo took a couple of steps forward and gently put his hand on Ellinor's shoulder, expressing his firm stance without words. He coldly looked at Patricia and said, "Ms. Howard, are you still unwilling to admit that you impersonated my life savior?"

Facing Theo, Patricia became weak, "Theo, I have the bracelet you gave me. The one who saved you was really me..."

Theo said, "The bracelet was not directly given to you by me. The person responsible for delivering the bracelet made a mistake. I will punish him."

Hearing these words, Patricia felt cold in her heart, and she tried to win sympathy with tears again, "Theo, I..."

Ellinor couldn't stand her tears anymore, "Ms. Howard, stop crying. No one will be moved by your tears! You not only impersonated the real-life savior for so many years but also made up a disease of infertility to pressure Theo, trying to cling to him for a lifetime. You’re really shameless!"
