The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1564

Chapter 1564 

Adrian clung to his mother’s hand tightly. “No! Mommy, I want to be with you!” 

Ellinor hadn’t seen her son for several days, and despite her anger at his reckless wandering alone, her heart was still filled with concern for him. She gently cupped his small face, asking softly, “Have you had lunch?” 

Adrian nodded. “Yes, I have.” 

Ellinor paused for a moment before asking, “And… him?” 

Adrian tilted his head. “Mommy, are you asking.if, handsome Dad had his meal?” 

Ellinor grunted, feeling slightly annoyed. 

“Handsome Dad had his meal too. We ate together when Sophia was still here.” 

After Ellinor responded with an uninterested hum, she scanned the room. 

“Mommy, let’s go! Let’s see how handsome Dad’s rehabilitation is going.” Adrian took Ellinor’s hand and headed towards the bedroom. 

Ellinor followed her son for a few steps, raising an eyebrow in disdain. She had just come out of that room. 

When Adrian pushed the door open, he saw a tall figure on the balcony, struggling to practice walking and sweating profusely. 

His leg seemed to have severe muscle atrophy. The likelihood of him being able to stand and walk on his own again seemed low. 

But he seemed determined to not give up. 

Adrian felt sorry for the man, loudly asking, “Handsome Dad! Do you want some water? I can get it for you!” 

Marcus looked at them with his lips pressed tight with exertion. “No, I’m not thirsty.” 

Ellinor tipped her chin. “Go, get your handsome Dad a bottle of water.” 

“Oh!” Adrian happily ran off when his mother gave the order. 

After watching her son’s adorable figure walk away, Ellinor turned to Marcus, who was still practicing with all his might. She walked over slowly. “Rehabilitation is a gradual process. You can’t rush it.” 

Marcus glanced at her and didn’t respond, continuing his practice. 

Ellinor didn’t engage further, leaning against the balcony rail and watching him until Adrian came running with a bottle of water. 

“Handsome Dad, here’s your water!” Adrian held the bottle high and handed it to him. 

Marcus looked at his son’s adorable face. He looked eager to help. But he needed both hands to support his body; if he let go of one, he wouldn’t be able to hold himself up. 

As Marcus hesitated, Ellinor suddenly walked over, taking the bottle from Adrian, unscrewing the cap, and holding it to Marcus’ lips. 

Marcus paused, looking at her in surprise.
