The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1858

Chapter 1858

Marlinie was at a loss for words. All she could do was look at her friend. Her heart ached with gratitude for her

friend’s openness and understanding.

Outside the hospital room, Ellinor and Theo listened to the conversation going on inside through the slightly ajar

door. They then exchanged thoughtful glances.

Their trust and admiration for Bertha grew stronger. It was heartening to see her become such good friends with

Marlinie.

Suddenly, the phone inside Ellinor’s pocket vibrated.

It was on silent mode, and she saw that it was a call from Marissa.

Ellinor showed the call to Theo. Theo took a glance at it and said in a calm voice, “Answer it.”

Their grandmother was probably worried about them being out so late. She must have decided to call and check on

them.

Just as Ellinor was about to tell Marissa that they wouldn’t be coming home tonight, Marissa’s panicked voice came

through the phone. “Ellinor, where are you and Theo? Come home quickly! There’s…there’s an emergency!”

Both Ellinor and Theo’s expressions darkened. Ellinor asked anxiously, “What’s happened? Grandma, what’s

wrong?”

Marissa was panting heavily on the other side. “Baber…Baber has just been taken by a strange man! I have sent

people after him. You two need to come home quickly! We still haven’t heard anything from them, and…and your

grandpa and I don’t know what to do…”

Baber was taken?

How could this happen? Ellinor stood up abruptly and rushed towards the elevator, not bothering to ask any more

questions.

Her maternal instincts kicked into high gear once she heard the news of her child’s disappearance. She didn’t care

about anything else. All she wanted to do was find her child.

Theo quickly followed her, trying his best to calm her down. “Calm down. Let’s head back now.”

Ellinor’s palms were slick with sweat. She prayed desperately that nothing bad would happen to Baber.

Why was fate playing such cruel tricks on her? Couldn’t she catch a break?

She had just found Theo again, and before they could settle down for a couple of peaceful days, their child went

missing.

Theo drove as fast as he could, and they reached the Blanchet Villa in half an hour.

As they got out of the car and rushed towards the house, they ran into Veronica, who had just returned.

“Brother, Ellinor! Did you just get home too? Have you found Baber?”

Ellinor didn’t have time to answer her and rushed into the house.

Marissa and Putnam were anxiously waiting in the living room for any news. Tristan, Adrian, and Layla were also in

the living room. They were surrounded by five maids and five butlers, ensuring they didn’t run around.

“Grandma! What about Baber? Did you find him?” Ellinor’s eyes were bloodshot from anxiety.

With tears streaming down her face, Marissa said, “Ellinor, I am sorry… I should have kept a closer eye on him. The

people I sent to find him just returned. They couldn’t catch up. The man who took Baber quickly got into a van

without a license plate. The van sped down the road and turned into a small alley. They lost sight of it.”

After hearing this, Ellinor felt the world spin around her. Thankfully, Theo was right behind her, and he caught her

just in time.
