Bartlett hurried over with a middle-aged man carrying a medical kit, "Theo, my personal doctor just arrived. Why not have him take a look at Ellinor first?"
"No need for the fuss." Theo, holding Ellinor, bypassed Bartlett directly.
Bartlett, knowing Ellinor didn't want to go to the hospital, followed to try to persuade them...
But Collin turned around and stopped him, "Mr. Rex, you don't need to worry about Ellinor. Mr. Blanchet has already called an ambulance. It's outside."
An ambulance? Bartlett narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtfully at the sight of Theo carrying Ellinor away, and said no more.
Inside the ambulance, Ellinor lay on the stretcher, her face looking even worse.
Her pale face wasn't because her physical discomfort had intensified, but because of her complicated emotions...
"Superior Sir, I thank you! For taking an ambulance to the hospital during my period, I must be one of a kind in Greenhaven!"
The man sitting next to her stretcher, due to his tall stature, sat in the vehicle with his long legs bent, occasionally bumping his head on the roof.
Theo, who had followed the ambulance as family, gave Ellinor a disapproving glance, "Are you still not satisfied? You're not a kid anymore. Can't you remember your own menstrual cycle?"
His tone was displeased, like an adult scolding a careless child.
Ellinor frowned, her pale face showing a bit of grievance, she complained, "Of course I remember my cycle, just don't know why it came early this month, and it's suddenly so painful. I never get cramps..."
As a man, Theo didn't quite understand or could empathize with women's menstrual issues.
Ellinor's face was as white as a sheet, and it was obvious that the pain was no joke.
Theo checked Ellinor's sweaty forehead, then reached up to rub her hair, "Hmm, at least you had the sense to message me when you're not feeling well. That's worth some praise."
