The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1815

Bertha felt a bit embarrassed by Ellinor’s constant curtsey, and she waved her hands dismissively. “Oh, Ellinor, you’re too polite! Your mom and I are best buddies. I’m just doing what any friend would do.”

Ellinor thanked her again. “And thank you for looking out for my mom all these years as well as shielding her from the Howard family’s harassment.”

Bertha sighed and helped Ellinor up. “Alright, Ellinor. I appreciate your gratitude, but don’t stand on ceremony, or I’ll get mad.”

Ellinor nodded and straightened up, not wanting to make Bertha uncomfortable.

She glanced at the black-suited men guarding the door and asked Bertha, “Bertha, I saw these men moving my mom’s belongings. Is she being discharged? But her injuries don’t seem to have healed.”

Bertha looked a bit downcast at this. “She’s not being discharged. Marlinie insisted on moving to another hospital. I just finished the paperwork for her transfer. If you hadn’t arrived, we’d already be on our way to the other hospital.”

Ellinor looked puzzled. “But this hospital has the best medical facilities; why change hospitals?”
