Chapter 222
Ellinor was shaking Theo’s arm desperately, “Theol Wake up, don’t scare mel
Theo closed his eyes and remained silent for a minute before he slowly said, “Why did you stop doing
what you were doing just now?”
Ellinor was speechless
What she had been doing was.
Ellinor understood Theo’s meaning after a bit of thought, and she wasn’t happy, ‘Don’t you dare take
advantage of me!
Ellinor was pissed when she realized she had been fooled. She brought the remaining water to him and
coldly said, “Drink it yourself! I busted my ass to bring this water back for you, if you don’t drink it, it’s all
going to go to waste!”
Theo wasn’t even thirsty
But little Ellinor had gone out of her way to bring this water back for him, so he was definitely going to

Theo reached out to take the leaf cup from her and drank the remaining half cup of water in one gulp.
Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he stared at the empty reed leaf cup in his hand.
“Ellinor, have we met somewhere before?”
Ellinor sat there, hugging her knees, and looked quite skinny.
She thought he was messing with her again when she heard Theo’s words. She looked at him and
said, “Theo, stop pretending to have amnesia, it’s boring!”
But Theo wasn’t joking, he said very seriously. “I mean, a long time ago, did we meet somewhere?”
She gave him a strange look as she listened to Theo’s serious tone, which was completely unlike his
usual teasing
“I don’t think so! Before I was eighteen, I lived in a village and had no chance to meet a rich boy like
you, Theo.”
Theo lowered his head in deep thought
Ten years ago, he went to the countryside to inspect the poverty alleviation projects established by his
group in poor areas but was ambushed by enemies and senously injured
In a hurry, he hid in the forest of a small mountain village, waiting for his subordinates to come to his
aid.
While waiting in the forest, he was dizzy from excessive blood loss, and the smell of blood attracted a
poisonous snake that bit him.
That day, he almost lost his life, but a little girl who happened to pass by saved him.
The girl wasn’t very old and was only around ten, but she was remarkably calm and mature.
First, she used a headband to tightly bind his arm to prevent the poison from spreading through his
blood vessels, then she sucked out the poisonous blood from his wound and spat it out, one mouthful
at a time. Afterwards, she found a certain herb in the nearby bushes, chewed it up, and applied it to his
snakebite.
The girl told him that where there are snakes, there was usually this herb and that it could neutralize

Then, she took out her handkerchief and bandaged another wound on his body.
Due to the remaining venom in his body, he temporarily lost his sight and couldn’t see the girl’s face
clearly
For the next three days, the girl would pass by the forest every day, bringing him a bun and pouring a
cup of water from her bottle for him to drink.
She, too, had fashioned a cup from reed leaves to hold the water
The day his subordinates found him, the girl hadn’t come yet, and he had urgent matters to attend to.
He left a subordinate to wait for the girl, leaving her a bracelet his mother had given him as a token,
and told her that she could come to the Blanchet Corporation in Greenhaven for help any time she
needed it.
He took the leaf cup the girl had made as a souvenir
Soon after, a girl came to the Blanchet Corporation looking for him with the bracelet.
That’s when he realized that the girl who had saved him was Patricia, who had been vacationing and
recovering in a summer villa in the country at that time.
