The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 302

After Patricia left the ward, her gaze swept the hospital corridor, hoping to catch a glimpse of the man who had just left.

She didn't see Theo in the winding hospital hallways, even though they had only been separated by a few minutes.

Where the hell did Theo go? It was only when she saw the door to the stairwell being pushed open and Collin's stern face emerging that she got her answer.

Patricia quickly headed that way, running smack into Collin.

Collin gave a slight nod and said, "Ms. Howard."

Patricia nodded back, asking, "Collin, is Theo in there?"

As honest as ever, Collin replied, "Yes, he's in there."

Patricia said, "Then I'll go in and see him."

With that, she pushed open the door to the stairwell.

Collin didn't stop her, but as he saw her disappear into the stairwell, his usually calm face showed a flicker of emotion before he quickly turned and left. He had work to do that Theo had just handed off to him.

Once inside, Patricia saw Theo standing by a window, smoking.

She approached him, coughing a couple of times from the smoke, and said, "Theo..."

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Theo squinted at her and asked, "What's up?"

With a worried look on her face, Patricia asked, "Theo, are you mad because someone deceived me?"

Theo didn't respond.

Patricia sighed. "Because you trusted her, and she betrayed your trust. You must be really pissed off. I can tell you're mad."
