Chapter 265
After ten minutes, Alex drove out of Warren Manor. As he reached the entrance, he ran into Barry and said, “My phone is on 24/7. Let me know if anything happens”
No matter how unwilling Ellie was, or how unsettled and afraid he felt, he had to bring the evidence to her, making her realize that the person who saved him all those years ago was, in fact, her.
“Alex, I need to talk to you,” Haley said. She followed Alex’s car to the gate of Warren Manor. But Alex didn’t stop, so she waited for him.
With impatience, Alex said, “You came here to find me and you’re not worried about my mom’s anger?”
Haley instinctively covered her face, her expression changing in an instant. “Alex, are you going to give me money and send me away like your mother?”
Meeting her eyes, Alex softened his tone. “I didn’t want you to come because I worried for your safety. If my mother really slapped you, I wouldn’t be able to defend you. You should go back and calm down.”
After pushing Haley out, he stepped on the gas, and the car sped away from the entrance of Warren Manor. Haley watched as Alex’s car disappeared, and the anger hidden in her eyes began to show.
“Barry…” Haley tried to ask Barry something, but he had already entered the house. Frustrated, she stomped her foot and hurried back to her car.
Several hours later, Alex drove along the road to Ellie’s hometown. Evening had fallen. After turning off the engine, he fixed his clothes and hair before getting out of the car.
Standing in front of the old wooden gate, Alex took a deep breath to gather his courage. He had always been brave. Yet, at that moment, the sight of the worn gate made him hesitant to knock.
After lingering at the doorstep for quite a while, he finally found the courage to knock. The door swung open, revealing Joanna, who noticed Alex and his gifts, her expression shifting slightly.
“Mrs. Thompson.” Before Joanna could show her disapproval, Alex hurriedly carried the gifts inside.
Noticing Joanna’s gaze on him, Alex cautiously glanced into the living room. “Mrs. Thompson, my Grandpa and parents heard about Mr. Thompson’s illness and asked me to visit.”
“These are specially chosen by my parents, not me,” Alex added quickly, fearing Joanna might dismiss both him and his gifts.
Joanna replied, “Oh, then you may go home and kindly tell your parents we appreciate it.”
“Mrs. Thompson, Ellie…” Alex hesitated, struggling to find his words.
“Ellie returned to the city for work early this morning; you should leave too,” Joanna said politely, despite the tension in the air. No parent is fond of those who bully their children.
When Alex heard that Ellie had gone back to the city, he didn’t leave. He hesitated for what felt like forever before he finally spoke, “Mrs. Thompson, I’d like to see Mr. Thompson.”
“There’s no need,” Joanna said, opening the door wider, and went to fetch food for their pigs.
“I’ll help.” Alex said, stepping forward to take the food from Joanna. Almost losing his grip due to the weight, he managed to keep it from spilling all over him. Eager to prove his willingness, he walked toward the pigpen.
Standing beside the pigpen, Alex saw Joanna feed the pigs. She ignored him, and he hesitated to step inside and look for Harold. Hearing the sound of a cane hitting the ground, Alex turned around.
He saw Harold coming out of the yard with a cane, and Alex’s expression turned serious. He called out, “Mr. Thompson.”
