Love Her English Novel Chapter 430
Chapter 430 Alex refused to leave Ellie’s room. Even when Chris came over to deliver urgent documents for him to sign, he had to bring them straight to Ellie’s room. By noon, it had started to rain outside. After Chris left. Alex lay sprawled on Ellie’s bed, wrapped in her hin little blanket, spending the entire afternoon playing Ludo with her, When Aaron video–called Ellie, Alex saw her pick up her phone and head toward the balcony. He immediately got up and pulled her back. Take the call here. I’ll step out for a bit.” Ellie answered Aaron’s call, while Alex went downstairs and stopped outside Carlos’s room. Blocking the family doctor’s way, he asked. “How much longer does my grandfather have?? The doctor respectfully replied, “Mr. Warren, if it weren’t for M. Griffith’s second surgery and the medication. Mr. Carlos Warren wouldn’t have lasted this long. Yesterday, a group of specialists came for a consultation. They estimate he has three to four months left at most.” Ten minutes later, Alex went to the study on the second floor. Sitting at his desk, he checked the calendar. Last night, he had personally overheard Ellie promise Aaron that after Carlos passed away, she would move back to the Thompson residence–no matter what stage her relationship with Alex reached. – If he let her go, he would never get another chance like this. With only three months left, he had no idea what he needed to do to make Ellie stay with him forever. As his phone screen dimmed, Alex braced his elbows on the edge of the desk, running both hands through his short hair with force. He felt a suffocating pressure weigh down on him, lowering his head into a long, heavy silence. Half a month later, Alex’s leg had fully recovered, and he wasted no time returning to work. He ordered, “Compress the workload for the next few months into the next three days. As soon as the morning meeting ended, Alex went into full–on work mode. Chris hesitated. “Mr. Warren, there are already many delayed projects awaiting your approval from the time you were injured. If we push everything forward, it’ll be impossible to finish in three days.” “Give me the urgent cases. For major projects, go through the final proposals with the department heads first. Distribute all remaining tasks among the deputy directors and set strict deadlines. Anyone has a problem with it can get the hell out, Alex said. Without another word, Chris rushed off to carry out his orders. In the evening, after taking a walk in the garden while pushing Carlos in his wheelchair, Ellie returned to her room. Alex hadn’t come back yet. Seeing Alex’s message saying he would be working late, Ellie reped. Then she stood on the bedroom balcony, gazing at the northwest corner of the garden below, She remembered the first few years after she came to the Warren Manor, how she missed home everyday, missing her parents and Aaron Eventually, she even secretly dug a hole by the wall. She naively believed that if she crawled through that small hole, she could meet her family. One night, she finally got the chance to crawl out through the hole. She ran desperately, following the direction Alex had once pointed out to her as the way home. Halfway there, she was nearly scared to death by a big yellow dog. Many details she couldn’t remember, but she never forgot how Alex had come up behind her, cursing as he hugged her tightly. He held her so tightly that she could hardly breathe. He warned her fiercely. If you run again. I’ll break your legs and lock you up.” She remembered that after he said that, he grabbed her dirty hands, disgusted, and wiped them with his own white shirt. Afterward, she was carried on his back, brought back to the Warren Manor. Everyone said he was bad, that he was crazy, and even Alex himself admitted he wasn’t a good person. But in Ellie’s eyes, no matter how mean he was, he was the best….
