    Chapter 1845


    Theo didn’t hand it over. “No need; I’m not that weak. It’s just a minor injury, so don’t worry too much,


    darling. Let me recover a bit and redeem myself in front of Marlinie.” He said in a stern voice.


    Ellinor rolled her eyes. “Then go and impress my mom. Try to get her to like her future son-inw.”


    Theo chuckled. “I’ll do my best!”


    Back in Marlinie’s hospital room, Theo was again greeted by the attentive gazes of Marlinie, Bertha,


    and Lea.


    Not for anything else, but because he had changed into a patient’s gown.


    What was going on?


    Theo walked up gracefully and ced the gifts he was carrying down. “Madam, this is just a small


    token of my appreciation. I hope you won’t find it insignificant.”


    Marlinie, reclining on her hospital bed, nced at the gifts Theo had put down and immediately


    understood what the young man had been up to since his earlier departure.


    He had gone to buy gifts.


    “You’re too courteous, dear! You didn’t have to go out of your way to buy these, really!”


    Theo responded humbly. “You’re the one who’s too kind for being so forgiving and generous. As your


    son-inw, I can’t be ungrateful.”


    Every time she heard Theo refer to himself as ‘son-inw’ in front of her mother, Ellinor couldn’t help

    Who knew that Theo could be so well-mannered and eager to impress?


    And when she remembered that this side of Theo was only because of her, Ellinor couldn’t help but feel


    a sweet sensation in her heart.


    Now that the gifts were bought, Marlinie didn’t decline them. She didn’t want to hurt the kids’ feelings.


    She nodded in eptance before asking. “You went out to buy gifts/ and came back in a different outfit.


    What happened? Is something wrong?”


    Theo shook his head. “Nothing to worry about.”


    Marlinie frowned. She was clearly still puzzled and concerned.


    Ellinor had no intention of hiding this from her mother. She wanted Bertha and Lea to hear this as well.


    “Mom, something did happen. He got hurt.”


    Upon hearing this, Marlinie looked worried. “Hurt? How did he get hurt just by going out to buy gifts?


    Pearl, tell me what happened.”


    Bertha also came over to ask, “Yes, Ellinor, tell us what happened. How could he get hurt in a


    hospital?”


    Lea was even more curious. Her big eyes couldn’t stop blinking. “Ellinor, how did Marcus get hurt?”


    Ellinor was about to speak, “He…”


    Before she could even finish her sentence, Theo tugged at her hand to stop her. He didn’t want


    Marlinie to worry, and he didn’t want her to feel that Ellinor was unsafe with


    him.


    Ellinor nced at Theo. “It’s okay; my mom is understanding, and besides, you can’t hide your injury


    dressed like that. Not telling her will only make her worry more and imagine the worst.”

    Marlinie nodded. “Yes! Pearl, tell me what happened.”


    Ellinor looked at her mother. “We ran into Sophia.”


    Upon hearing Sophia’s name, Marlinie instinctively looked at Bertha. After all, Sophia was her


    stepdaughter.


    Bertha’s expression also changed. She was eager to hear more and learn about the oue of their


    encounter. “Ellinor, what happened with Sophia? Did Sophia do something to hurt you guys again? It’s


    okay; tell me the truth, and I’ll talk to her father about it and make sure she’s taught a lesson!”
