The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2235

Chapter 2235 

As Balfour sat silently by Ivy’s bedside, watching her sleep, thirty minutes slipped away like sand through an hourglass. 

Before leaving, he sought out the attending physician and the room nurse. They were outside the room, ready to attend to any patient’s need at a moment’s notice. 

“Mr. Howard.” 

Balfour nodded in acknowledgment. “I need to head home for a bit. I should be back…” He glanced at his watch, “within the hour. Please keep a close eye on Ivy for me. When she wakes up, just tell her I’ll be right back.” 

They nodded, affirming what was already part of their duties. 

With urgency, Balfour left the hospital and drove back to the Howard family estate. 

“Master Balfour…” 

He waved his hand to dismiss the formalities. 

Bag in hand, he went straight to their bedroom to pack for Ivy. Seeing her in such a weakened state, he thought it best if she stayed in the hospital for a couple more days for 

observation. 

Concerned that others might overlook something while packing Ivy’s belongings, Balfour decided to handle it personally. He packed generously to ensure Ivy’s comfort during her hospital stay. 

However, as he was about to leave, his phone rang. 

It was Mara. 

“Hello?” Balfour answered. 

He was worried Ivy would wake up and think he’d left her again. 

Surprisingly, he heard a soft sobbing on the other end, “Balfour…” 

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying? What happened?” Balfour asked, a frown creasing 

his brows. 

But no matter how much he prodded, Mara remained silent on the specifics. 

Checking the time, he noted there was still a while before he had to return to the hospital. 

So, he took a seat in the living room. 

“What’s going on? I’m tied up at the moment, so if there’s something you need to say, you better spill it. Crying won’t fix anything.”

Mara was sniffling pitifully, wiping away tears haphazardly. 

“Balfour, I… never mind, it’s no use telling you. You don’t need to worry about me.” 

Impatient, Balfour pressed, “What do you mean I shouldn’t worry? If you’re in trouble or if something’s bothering you, you need to tell me so I can help.” 

Then, to his surprise, her sobbing intensified. 

“Oh, Balfour, I just can’t take it anymore. When will this all end?” 

Balfour couldn’t pin down what Mara’s distress was about, but he could sense the 

heartbreak in her voice.
