- Chapter 556
- Alex stared silently at his phone screen for quite a long time. Finally, he sent a message to File Aber disgracing the sex, be kept his eyes glued to the screen, waiting for her reply
- Just as Ellie arrived home, barely having exchanged her shoes, she received Alex’s message. In there few bred words, Filte could feel Alex’s sadness even from across the screen.
- As she got ready to respond, her two kids ran over to her. Alex waited for five minutes, but Ellie’s reply didn’t come
- Throwing away the cigarette stub from his fingers, Alex switched off his phone. But just then, the screen lit up again. showing Ellie’s message. Alex opened the chat and sent another message back to her.
- This time, Ellie didn’t keep him waiting long. When he saw her cheerful “keep going emoji. Alex couldn’t help for chuckle sofily.
- Turning his gaze back to the dark stretch of the Warren Manor, he found that his gloom had lifted Alex declared, “Tell Chris, I’ll be heading to the company tomorrow.”
- The disappointment he felt signified an ending, yet it also marked a new beginning, He would bring the Warren Manor back to life, giving his parents a proper home again and making it his pride once more.
- The next day, Ellie arrived on time at the hospital. After finishing all the preparations, she walked to Orion’s room. “Where is she?” Ellie asked, noticing Quinlee’s absence as she entered the room.
- Since Quinlee had returned with Orion, she had stayed glued to his side and insisted on being recognized as Orion’s fancée. Whenever Quinlee left the room, Ellie couldn’t shake the feeling that the woman was up to no good.
- Linda came out from the caregiver’s quarters, her eyes heavy from lack of sleep. “She left last night Linda reported. “She said she got approval to head back to Jinerity for a few days.”
- “Get out.” Just as Ellie stepped closer to the doorway, a warning echoed from inside the room. Ellie looked at Linda, who ‘quickly urged her back to the reception area.
- “Orion had a nightmare last night; he was really upset. I stayed up until three in the morning calming him down so he wouldn’t throw things,” Linda explained.
- “Just a moment, let me try talking to him,” she continued cautiously as she moved into the room while Ellie watched from the doorway.
- “Orion, don’t be upset. The person outside is your comrade Jason’s niece and your doctor, Ellie,” Linda said gently as she approached Orion’s wheelchair.
- “Orion, you have to trust that Ellie will help you get better. Once you’re healed, you can go home to your family. Don’t be scared; I’ll be right here with you,” Linda coaxed Orion softly, like a parent calming a child.
- After a while, he finally nodded in response.
- Ellie stood at the door, observing Linda beckoning her to come inside. Despite Orion’s severe facial injuries, one half of his face was unblemished.
- Looking at just this half of his face, Ellie noticed a resemblance to Alex, but Orion’s features seemed sharper. His complexion showed a healthy tan, possibly from years spent outside.
- Chapter 557
- Ellie could easily imagine that once Orion’s appearance was restored, his face and physique would captivate many women. After completing a successful examination. Ellie exited the ward.
- “Linda, your hard work during this time has been impressive,” she praised, giving Linda a thumbs–up.
- +13
- Linda’s bright eyes looked tired from sleepless nights. “Even though Orion can be difficult, I think I’m starting to understand him. As long as I don’t surprise him when he’s upset, I can calm him down enough to avoid any problems.”
- “I get paid well, so I have to do my job right, but- Linda hesitated, her thoughts trailing off.
- Just focus on your own responsibilities and ignore Quinlee. If she causes trouble for you, don’t put up with it, just talk to Mark or come to me,” Ellie reassured Linda before heading back to her office.
- Quinlee seemed determined to have it both ways. She wanted to become Mrs. Warren while avoiding the challenges of caring for Orion herself.
- Ellie was convinced that even if Orion couldn’t see, he would definitely sense Quinlee’s dishonesty.
- After a busy day at the hospital, Ellie joined Diana and Lacey at a restaurant for a moment of relaxation.
- Ellie pointed at Lacey’s sparkling diamond ring on her left hand. “Lacey, you and Mark just got married, and yet you’re out late? Is he okay with that?”
- “Mark said as long as I come home at night, I’m free to do whatever I want otherwise,” Lacey replied, smiling sweetly, like someone who just fell for a tricky scheme.
- Diana leaned closer, intrigued. “Lacey, be honest, did you and Mark sleep together last night?”
- Lacey straightened up and playfully shoved Diana away. With conviction, she replied, “Diana, how could you think that of Mark? He’s the most chivalrous man I’ve ever met.”
- In a whisper, Lacey continued, “Last night, he just held me close, but nothing else happened. He told me that the party wasn’t his idea; he had no clue how it all started.
- “He assured me that our marriage is like a contract; he won’t pressure me. After a year, if I’ve had enough, he’ll help me file for divorce. After you all left, Mark insisted I take the bed while he chose the sofa.”
- Lacey’s face beamed with pride with every mention of Mark, making Diana and Ellie exchange amused looks. Ellie bit her straw, feeling like she was watching Lacey get fooled by Mark.
- “Diana, has Aaron come home yet?” Ellie suddenly remembered that Aaron had stayed at the Grant Manor after drinking too much the previous night.
- At the mention of Aaron, Diana’s expression changed quickly. “Don’t even mention your brother,” she exclaimed, stuffing her mouth with an oversized piece of meat.
- Noticing Diana’s mood shift, Ellie’s voice became cautious. “Did my brother do something he shouldn’t have while he was drunk?”
- Diana, with her mouth full, rolled her eyes. “He clung to my dad while crying. Tim and Liam couldn’t get him off. He wailed about how five years ago, I abandoned him, leaving him all alone, and how much your mom worried about him.
- “My family had no choice but to carry him to my room. Before dawn, he had already run away.”
- Though Diana’s words were a bit muffled because of her chewing, Ellie grasped the seriousness of the situation. Hearing the story made her chest tighten, and she stared down at her straw, lost in though
- Chapter 558
- That night, Ellie returned to the Thompson residence and rushed upstairs to find Aaron. “I need to sleep, Aaron insisted, pushing Ellie away from the door.
- Ellie stood stubbornly at the threshold, refusing to leave. “Is what Diana said true?”
- “Don’t listen to her nonsense; I was drunk and can’t remember,” Aaron shot back, shoving Ellie into the hallway and shutting the door with a loud bang.
- After returning to her room to take a shower, Ellie found she couldn’t sleep due to her curiosity. She changed her clothes and reappeared at Aaron’s door.
- Watching Aaron’s strange behavior, she was convinced that he remembered everything, and clearly so.
- But no matter how hard she knocked this time, Aaron refused to open the door. Ellie wandered to the children’s room, peering at the two little ones who were already fast asleep on the bed. Instantly, all her tiredness vanished.
- Ellie had a habit of checking her social media before bedtime. Back in her room, she turned on her phone and found a news article sent by Lacey from earlier in the afternoon. In fact, she had already seen the news.
- In the video, Alex wore a black suit as he arrived on time at the headquarters of Warren Group at eight in the morning. Three hours later, the Warren Group’s official website announced that Alex would officially take over as CEO the following Monday.
- Almost immediately, the internet exploded with criticism and doubt about Alex. Even the comments from the board were negative. Those words not only questioned Alex’s abilities but also cast doubt on his character.
- Having lived with the Warren family for over a decade, Ellie was well aware of the unpredictable nature of the business world.
- While she didn’t exactly know what Alex had done to rise so quickly, one thing was certain: the more extreme his methods, the harder the problems he would face down the line, and the more enemies he would make, putting him in greater danger.
- Unable to sleep, Ellie stood on the balcony, clutching her phone tightly. As she looked into the vast darkness in front of her, her heart gradually began to settle down.
- Even though the Warren family was currently in chaos and Alex’s troubled entry into the Warren Group was met with skepticism, she found comfort in the fact that Orion had returned.
- Once Orion fully recovered and reconciled with his family, she believed the brothers would unite their strengths, ensuring the Warren family’s future success.
- Despite Haley once again surviving and staying close to Orion under the guise of Quinlee, Ellie trusted that Jason had his own plans. She would also stay alert against that woman.
- A few days later, Orion’s first surgery had been successfully completed, but Quinlee had still not returned from Jinerity.
- “Linda, thank you for your hard work these past few days. Post–operative care is crucial, so make sure to take good care of him,” Ellie said, visiting the hospital room one last time before her shift ended, offering some nursing reminders to Linda.
- “Don’t worry, Ellie; I will take excellent care of Orion until he fully recovers. I won’t take this generous salary for granted,” Linda replied, her eyes red from exhaustion, but she still managed a cheerful smile.
- Having gotten used to Orion’s temperament, her work had stabilized. If she kept performing well, she might even get hospital accommodation, saving her from the worry of being evicted by a landlord.
- Chapter 558
- 13
- Around eight in the evening. Ellie found the room where Diana was located inside the Earl Hotel’s club. Since the room was filled with Diana’s friends, she opted not to go in and instead sent Diana a message from the doorway.
- Chapter 559
- ས%91%▪
- Diana quickly came out, handing Ellie two bags. “One has your brother’s jacket that he left in my room, and the other is coffee my dad asked me to deliver to Jason.”
- Ellie eyed Diana cautiously and asked, “Diana, did you and Aaron have a fight?”
- Since Diana had returned, her relationship with Aaron had clearly deepened. She seemed to spend entire days at the Thompson residence without fail, but now she wouldn’t even meet Aaron.
- “Aaron won’t even answer my calls. It’s like I was the one who got drunk that day. He won’t even face me,” Diana exclaimed, recalling Aaron’s indifferent responses, filled with dismissive comments like “uh–huh” and “oh“.
- “Don’t be upset. I promise I’ll talk to him when I get home tonight and call you,” Ellie reassured her, noticing others emerging from the room to find Diana and leaving quickly.
- Before leaving, Ellie quickly stopped by the restroom, where she unexpectedly ran into Nancy. From a distance, she saw Nancy looking frail, standing in the hallway, speaking on the phone with her voice laced with tears. Ellie hesitated to approach.
- ‘Has she discovered Todd’s infidelity?‘ Ellie turned to leave but paused again after a few steps. Considering the current situation with the Warren family and Nancy’s distressed appearance, she followed Nancy.
- Ellie followed all the way to the guest room area. Her instincts kicked in; Alex’s parents were having serious issues, and Nancy had come to confront Todd. However, she noticed the elevator had arrived on this floor, yet Nancy wasn’t around.
- “Looking for me?” a relaxed voice called from behind Ellie. Before she could react, a strong arm pulled her into a room. By the time Ellie understood what was happening, she found herself pinned against the wall of the suite by Alex.
- As Ellie found herself close to Alex, their breaths mingled in the small space. “You’re drunk,” Ellie said, wincing at the strong smell of alcohol surrounding him; she turned her head to avoid the warmth of his breath.
- “What are you doing here at this hour?” Alex asked, clearly intoxicated, swaying slightly as he held Ellie close.
- He gazed down at her slightly parted lips, his bloodshot eyes filled with an indescribable emotion. An intimate lilt crept into
- his voice.
- His throat bobbed as he moved closer. Sensing his intent, Ellie lowered her head to evade him and struggled against his hold. Alex grunted as he nearly fell, and Ellie instinctively pulled him back.
- Leaning against the wall for support, Alex kept Ellie firmly placed in front of him. He cupped her cheek with one hand, his fingers lightly grazing her lips as he tightened his grip on her other hand, drawing her closer.
- Facing the intoxicated Alex, Ellie took a deep, silent breath. He just can’t change. Just then, she heard the sound of a hairdryer running in the bathroom.
- “Please, have some self–control,” Ellie snapped, her expression turning cold as she forcefully broke free from Alex’s grasp to reach for the door. Before her hand could touch the doorknob, there was loud, persistent knocking from outside.
- “She doesn’t like widows, so keep your voice down,” Alex said, pushing Ellie behind the curtains. His comments left her utterly confounded.
- Ellie thought, One in the bathroom and another outside. Still, he dared to flirt with me while hiding me behind the curtains? What a scoundrel. If his father also cheated, that would certainly be hereditary. Such a disgrace.
- “Mr. Warren, I’m all done,” a strange man’s voice made Ellie’s mind spin. ‘Alex was actually with a man?
- The door burst open, and Nancy rushed in immediately. Staring in shock at the young man beside her son, Nancy trembled, her lips quivering as she looked at Alex
- Chapter 560
- Nancy’s reaction shocked the young man next to Alex. He grew even more alarmed when Ellie appeared from behind the curtain.
- “Clean yourself up and get out.” Alex felt his focus returning.
- When he saw Barry at the doorway, Alex asked, “How did my Mom end up here?”
- Barry stammered, glancing nervously at Ellie. Nancy was worried that her son might get involved with a widow, and she wanted to keep an eye on him.
- “You too, leave,” Alex said, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration.
- Soon, only Ellie and Alex were left in the room. As she realized the misunderstanding, Ellie looked at Alex on the sofa and picked up the two bags by the couch, preparing to leave.
- However, Alex let his fingers snag one of the bags, causing her to stop. “Ellie, how do you deal with a headache?” Alex said, his eyes shut as he leaned back against the sofa, releasing his grip on the bag.
- Ellie, noticing the crease in Alex’s tired brow, answered, “Drinking some honey water or tomato juice might help. You can also ask your assistant to massage your temples or put a cold compress on your head.
- “If it’s really painful, taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen would work. And if it’s unbearable, you might also think about taking one tablet of torasemide,” Ellie advised, glancing at Alex.
- “A doctor’s massage would definitely be more reliable,” she added softly, watching Alex lean closer to her. Despite still reclining on the sofa, his eyes remained closed.
- Seeing Alex in this discomfort brought back a distant memory for Ellie. She remembered that summer when she first got her period. She had been hiding in the bathroom, crying in panic, thinking she was going to die.
- It was Alex who found her, somehow getting a pack of sanitary pads. She awkwardly changed the pad with him standing outside, reading notes about a girl’s menstrual cycle on his phone.
- That night, when cramps kept her awake, Alex had gently massaged her abdomen through her clothing until she finally fell asleep.
- She was thirteen then, and he was twenty. Ellie slowly relaxed her grip on the bags and set them down. She knelt beside Alex to massage his temples.
- But Alex was leaning back so far that she could barely reach him. “Sit up; I can’t reach you,” Ellie urged.
- “Come up here,” Alex replied, his voice tired but firm. He grabbed Ellie’s wrist, pulling her closer. She knelt on the sofa, pressing on his temples.
- Ellie asked, “Was that young man your new driver?”
- “Yes, he just got back from military service,” Alex replied shortly.
- Just a moment ago, Ellie had heard Nancy’s voice from behind the window, but she didn’t mention it. “Do you burning in your stomach?”
- feel any
- “Mm.”
- Alex’s head slowly leaned toward Ellie. As she was about to push him away, she realized he had fallen asleep. He was breathing evenly, eyes closed, with his hand unconsciously wrapped around her waist.
- Ellie fell silent, and the room grew quiet.
