The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 185

"Elinor, today was supposed to be a good day! If you hadn't come back, the three of us would be happily tucking into our breakfast at home! But since you came, we've all ended up in the hospital, even causing my mom to be hospitalized! Tell me, what are you playing at?"

Elinor, her face as calm as ever, replied, "I thought the doctor said Auntie Tracy just had some minor scrapes and didn't need to be hospitalized. Weren't you guys the ones who wanted to stick around?"

Sheila, grinding her teeth with anger, pointed at her and said, "You dare to argue..."

"Enough! Tracy needs her rest!" Arnold turned around, shooting Elinor a frustrated glare. "Elinor, if you've got no business here, then clear off! I don't want Auntie Tracy waking up to see you and get upset again."

Hearing her dad take her side and tell Elinor to leave, Sheila couldn't resist smirking.

Elinor, did you think you can steal Dad's love and trust from me and mom? Dream on!

She shot a victorious glance at Elinor and said, "You had this coming!"

Elinor wasn't bothered by Sheila's cockiness, nor did she plan to leave just because of her dad's words. She calmly reminded Arnold,

"Weren't you going to get a paternity test with Sheila? We're in the hospital now; I thought I could wait to see the results before leaving."

Arnold frowned. "You dare mention the paternity test? If it wasn't for your antics today, Auntie Tracy wouldn't be lying here!"

Seizing the chance, Sheila interjected, "See, Dad, Elinor is always stirring up trouble!"

At this moment, Tracy slowly opened her eyes, regaining consciousness, and weakly said, "Arnold, Elinor is right..."

Hearing her voice, Arnold immediately turned to his wife, holding her shoulders concernedly, and said "Tracy, you're awake! Are you feeling better?"

Tears welled up in Tracy's eyes, and she bravely said, "Arnold, I'm okay… Elinor was right earlier: Since we're in the hospital, why don't you go ahead with the paternity test with Sheila?"
