The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1036

As soon as Ellinor saw the old lady trying to get up, she quickly lent a hand, propping up the pillow behind Marissa and making her lean against the bed more comfortably.

Once Marissa was settled, she gently patted the back of Ellinor’s hand, “Ellinor, you’re something else, you know. How could you not tell Granny you’re pregnant? If it weren’t for today’s incident, Granny would still be in the dark about your pregnancy!”

Sitting by the bedside, Ellinor gave the old lady a small smile, “I didn’t mean to keep it from you. I was just afraid you’d worry too much and that you’d restrict my activities.”

Marissa furrowed her brows; her kindly expression was laced with sternness, “How could I not worry? You’re Theo’s wife, and the baby you’re carrying is as important to me as you are. You didn’t want me to interfere, and then you ran off and got hit by a car, didn’t you? Thank god it wasn’t anything serious. How do you think I could bear it otherwise?”

Ellinor obediently nodded, “I understand, Granny. I won’t run off again.”

Seeing that both Ellinor and the baby were safe, Marissa finally managed a small smile. Today had been a close call, and they would need to ensure Ellinor’s safety in the future.
