The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2314

Chapter 2314 

“Ivy- Ivy Can you hear me? Where are you? I’m here to pick you up!” 

Startled at first, Ivy then realized it was Balfour calling out for her again. She quickly stood up to respond loudly, but in her haste, she forgot about her injured left foot and yelped as she crumpled back to the ground. 

“Ah!” 

The piercing scream sent Balfour into a panic, and he raced toward the deeper part of the woods where Ivy had fallen. 

Upon reaching her, he found Ivy sprawled out on the ground in a complete mess. 

“Where does it hurt? Tell me where you’re hurt!” 

With utmost care, he supported Ivy’s arms, trying to help her to her feet. 

But Ivy staggered and ended up collapsing against him. 

“Ouch-” she cried out in pain, grateful that Balfour was there to cushion her fall, or else she would have twisted her wrist as well. 

“Are 

you okay? Where are you hurt? Is it bad?” 

Balfour’s concern was evident in his voice, but the more he asked, the quieter Ivy became, her tears falling relentlessly. 

So, he did care about her after all! 

Then why had he been so harsh with her before? It made no sense. 

His flashlight had tumbled aside, and in the faint glow, he could see Ivy’s lowered head and the gleam of tears on her cheeks. 

“Does it hurt that bad? Stop crying and talk to me!” he urged, his hands carefully feeling along her arms, afraid to touch her anywhere else in case he aggravated her injury. 

Ivy bit her lip and stubbornly looked up at him. 

Balfour’s heart skipped a beat at the sight. 

“Come on, stop crying and tell me where it hurts, okay?” 

“Why do you care so much all of a sudden? You said I was a hassle, that I was indifferent. Why bother with me now?” Ivy’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her defiance making them all the more poignant, striking a chord deep within Balfour. 

“When have I ever said you were hassle and indifferent?” 

His voice was a whisper now, a low rumble of confusion.

“Pssh. You can’t just take back what you’ve said. It’s like spilled milk, you jerk!” 

She had been upset all afternoon because of his words, and now he had the audacity to claim he never said them!
