The Bound Between Us

Chapter 612

Henry whisked Ellie away, not daring to take her straight back to Maplewood Drive. Eleanor couldn't bear to see Ellie like this.

Henry first took Ellie to a hotel, sending Mason to grab some fresh clothes while he personally took care of her, bathing her and washing her hair. Ellie was in a sorry state; her hair was tangled and reeked, a real mess to clean. Suppressing his rage towards Gianna, Henry tenderly washed Ellie, her tiny fists clenched in fear all the while. With a gentle touch, he shampooed and dried her hair, even using a hairdryer to make her feel comfortable.

Despite her fear, Ellie behaved, sitting quietly, almost too still, like a doll. After dressing her in new clothes, Henry looked at her frail form, feeling as if his heart was being pierced.

Henry coldly instructed, "Mason, get Dr. Smith here to check on Ellie."

Over at Maplewood Drive, Dr. Smith rushed to the hotel after receiving the call. Eleanor noticed Dr. Smith's hurried exit, unable to ask what was going on, and her curiosity piqued. Mason had been tailing Gianna all day and hadn't reported back either. Eleanor felt a twitch in her eyelids, a sense of unease growing.
