- Chapter 531
- The light of dawn couldn’t bring the withered sunflower back to life, just like Alex’s passionate realization couldn’t warm Ellie’s heart, which had been frozen for a long time.
- Even though they had a past, they still had to move on.
- Alex’s moving on comes at the cost of letting go of all the memories tied to Ellie; while Ellie’s moving on is the silent growth shaped by her tears and pain along the way.
- But no matter how they chose to move forward, both needed to release their past obsessions, allowing for a fresh start and a
- new life
- A few days later, Alex went back home and was met with Nancy’s stern face. She asked him to move out of the ho within two days.
- Alex asked, “Mom, why are you making me move out all of a sudden?”
- “I believe the house is unclean and plan to renovate it thoroughly. Your stuff is already packed; you need to find a new place.” Nancy threw a warning glance at the servant in the living room.
- Since that unsettling night when Alex returned from meeting Elle and those two kids, Alex had felt off. He couldn’t shake the habit of checking his pockets constantly.
- The Warren Manor was where Alex had lived with Ellie for over ten years. Despite Nancy’s best efforts to clean every corner, she was terrified of missing something.
- She could not let Alex remember Ellie, nor could she let them fall back into old patterns.
- Dressed in black trousers and a floral shirt, Alex hadn’t even put his car keys down when he said, “Dad, Mom, you can’t be serious about kicking me out at night. Do you expect me to sleep in a graveyard?”
- He reached into his pocket, still instinctively searching for something, while frowning at his parents.
- Nancy quipped back, “Look at that ridiculous outfit; the ghosts would run away if you lay there.”
- “Just move to Zerikith; I can’t stand looking at you any longer.” she snapped, sending him to the farthest property from the
- Warren Manor
- “You’re my mom. Even if you sent me to grandpa’s grave, I’d have to go.” Alex instructed the servant to move his belongings to Zenkith and stormed out of the Warren Manor.
- At the Earl Hotel’s club, Layton was
- y frustrated. “Dude, call you please stop calling me in the middle of the night?”
- He added, “Since you’ve been back, my life has turned upside down. Nalani just told me that if I keep wasting time with you, she wants a divorce.”
- “You’re my dude. If I’m drinking, you are supposed to drink with me, Alex replied, offering Layton a drink.
- Layton took the glass but didn’t drink, holding it awkwardly. He leaned in, speaking earnestly, “Alex, I’m already married and a father of three. My twin daughters are just a month old.
- “Tm up at night making bottles and changing diapers. If you keep bothering me with late–night calls, my marriage is going to fall apart.
- Alex shot Layton a sideways glance, spreading his legs over the age of the table while reclining against the sofa. “You
- Chapter 531
- shouldn’t cater to women too much; otherwise, they’ll walk all over you.”
- “Please don’t start with the advice, Layton replied. “If I really listened, we’d both end up as two sad bachelors whining about our lives.”
- Noticing Alex constantly rummaging in his pockets, Layton joked. “What do you have in there? A baby? You just keep digging.
- Chapter 532
Alex sat up straight and fixed Layton with a piercing look, making him nervous instinctively. “Tell me, while I was locked up for five years, did anything happen at my house?”
“No,” Layton insisted, though his eyes darted away from Alex.
Alex frowned. “I’ve always had this odd feeling that something is off since I got back, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.”
Layton avoided eye contact, ruffling his hair as his discomfort grew evident. He recalled Alex’s escape and subsequent recapture, as well as the moment when Alex had nearly been shot dead.
To save Alex. Nancy had schemed with her husband to erase every memory of Ellie from Alex’s mind.
Alex’s parents had visited many prominent families, issuing stric warnings: Anyone who reveals Alex’s past with Ellie would find themselves at odds with the Warren family, and all the branches of the Warren would unite against them in the business. world.
Nancy had declared that anyone who dared to say anything would confront her vengeful spirit. Even though Alex was locked up and the Warren Group faced problems, their status remained strong.
No one dared to provoke the Warrens
“Did Nancy throw away your shampoo just because it expired?” Layton asked after a long pause, trying to lighten the mood.
Changing the topic, Layton asked, “You’ve been back for over a week now; when are you planning to return to the company?”
“No rush; I need to move out first,” Alex replied, lighting a cigarete and putting it between his lips as he rubbed his ring finger.
Meanwhile, at the Thompson residence, Ellie had just settled her two children down for sleep. She came down the stairs where Whitney handed her a card.
Whitney said, “Ellie, aside from the expenses for myself and the kids, I’m sending you my entire salary, including my year end bonus.” Ellie was grateful as she accepted the card.
The reason Ellie had shares in Mark’s hospital was that Jason and Whitney had helped her financially,
She hadn’t paid back a single cent yet, and Whitney had arranged a nice apartment for her near an international kindergarten, making it easy for her to get to work and take her kids to school.
Whitney had been incredibly generous to Ellie and gently reminded her to keep the card. “We’re family; what’s mine is Jason’s, and what’s Jason’s is yours, too, Whitney said.
Aside from just being grateful, Ellie found it hard to adequately express her thanks to Whitney. Ever since she found herself in a tough spot and took a job at Whitney’s bar, Whitney had always been there for her.
Ever since Whitney had been Ellie’s family, she supported Ellie even more. While families don’t need to separate financial matters, Ellie couldn’t take Whitney’s kindness for granted.
She was determined to work hard to repay the help Jason and Whitney had given her. After all, they also had children and would grow old.
Since deciding to have her kids, Ellie had longed to protect her children from life’s difficulties, hoping to give them the best life possible.
Ellie didn’t need love, marriage, or a man. She had family, her own kids, her career, and close friends. She believed that as long as she worked hard enough, her life would keep getting better.
Late at night, Ellie was woken up by a sharp phone ring. It was a call from Jason, telling her to head to Bondie Private Hospital immediately to attend to a special patient.
Without wasting a second, Ellie rushed to Bondie Private Hospital as fast as she could.
- Chapter 533
D
Just past one in the morning at the Bondie Private Hospital, Ellie stepped into a VIP care room. Upon entering the living area, she greeted Jason and Mark.
In the room, a man with a proud posture sat in a wheelchair, his back to the door. Beside this man sat a woman–Haley- who had long been living under the guise of the Janssen family’s second daughter, Quinlee.
“You’re still alive?” Ellie exclaimed, her face filled with shock upon seeing Haley. She tried to approach Haley but was stopped by Jason.
“It has been a while, Ellie,” Haley said calmly, her eyes locking onto Ellie’s. Haley moved to stand in front of Ellie, a faint smile curling her lips in response to Ellie’s astonished gaze.
“Please continue your conversation; Ill step outside to make a cat. Quinlee offered with a friendly smile before leaving the
room
Still in shock, Ellie turned to Jason, unable to contain her curiosity. “Jason, how could she be here?”
Jason glanced at the man in the wheelchair and quietly suggested “Let’s talk about this later. First, let me introduce.”
With Jason leading the way, Ellie followed Mark into the room son chose not to approach the man in the wheelchair, who remained silent and still. “Ellie, this is my comrade, Orion Warren.
It was hard for Ellie to believe that the man before her was Orion
Mark lowered his voice to explain, “Mr. Warren is blind, disfigured, and suffers from severe post–traumatic stress disorder. Even I can’t get close to him; he only trusts his comrades and Quinlee, who brought him back.”
“How could Haley have rescued Orion?‘ Five years ago, Ellie had confirmed that Quinlee was Haley, witnessing that malicious woman swept away by the flood.
Over the years, neither the Janssen family nor the Grant family, or even the police could find her body.
To Ellie’s astonishment, not only had she survived, but she had so returned as Orion’s savior, coming back from the border
with him
Ellie wondered, “How has she been rescued with a spinal injury? Who has saved her? How has she made it to the border? Why has she crossed paths with Orion and become his savior?”
A wave of questions surged in Ellie’s mind, but she kept quiet. Jason added, ‘I don’t trust anyone else. You will be Orion’s attending physician.”
Without hesitation, Ellie nodded in agreement. Her grievances with Alex had been settled when he was imprisoned five years ago. Given that Orion had once saved Jason’s life, she felt an obligation to help.
Jason said, “Aside from me, Mark, Quinlee, and you, no one else knows about this. Orion’s canotional state is very unstable; he strongly resists reuniting with his family and doesn’t allow strangers to approach him.
To avoid complications, Orion will stay here and refrain from contact with the outside world until he has fully recovered. The three of you will need to sign a confidentiality agreement.”
Ellie exchanged a glance with Mark at the mention of the agreement. She suspected Orion returned with a significant secret. Otherwise, Jason wouldn’t be so cautious, even withholding information from the Warren family.
Ellie said, “But Jason, Quinlee is Haley!”
Jason said, “We will talk about this later.
Chapter 534
Just as Ellie was about to ask further questions about Haley, Jason’s gaze silenced her, With Jason present, Orion seemed less resistant. Suppressing her curiosity, Ellie gained a rough understanding of Orion’s current condition alongside Mark.
His external injuries were mainly blindness and severe facial disgurement. With a proper corneal transplant and enough time to recover, full rehabilitation was possible.
But the most pressing issue was his severe post–traumatic stress disorder, which, if not addressed, could affect him for life.
The three of them stayed awake through the night, and as Ellie and Mark left the room, dawn was beginning to break.
“You should go home and rest; come back later so we can talk about the treatment plan,” Mark suggested as Ellie finished the confidentiality agreement in the director’s office.
About ten minutes later, Ellie stepped out of the elevator. “Ellie, voice called from the hospital lobby; it was Quinlee. Stopping in her tracks, Ellie regarded Quinlee with a blank expression as she walked over.
A mere step separated the two women as their eyes locked. “I never expected to come back alive, did you, Ellie Quinlee said with a cryptic smirk on her lips.
Ellie replied fiercely. “Five years ago, I failed to cause your disappearance, and I will not let you slip away again, I’ll make sure everyone knows your true identity, and you will pay for what you have done.”
Quinlee stepped forward in her high heels, leaning in slightly as she lowered her voice. “Ellie, even if you turn the world upside down, I am still Orion’s fiancée, the second daughter of the wealthy Janssen family and the sister of Mrs. Grant
“My identity is beyond your scrutiny”
“Wait for your punishment,” Facing Quinlee’s provocation, Ellie shot back before leaving
Quinlee stayed behind, smiling as she watched Ellie depart. Haley was dead, and the Owens family had been completely wiped out; she was the daughter of the Janssen family, Orion’s fiancée.
Before achieving her goals, she decided not to engage Ellie in a foolish confrontation. She had to seize this opportunity to acquire what that person desired, thus becoming Mrs. Warren. Once everything was settled, she could deal with Ellie.
Before 7 a.m., Alex strolled out his apartment, followed by several employees from a furniture company. He instructed Barry, “I dislike having neighbors; get in touch with the owner and make an offer to buy the apartment next my door.”
As the elevator doors opened, Alex prepared to step inside, only to see Ellie coming out with two large bags. Alex paused. outside the elevator while Ellie stood still, and their eyes met, both clearly surprised by the encounter.
Unfazed by Alex’s scrutinizing gaze, Ellie emerged from the elevator. She had stopped by the new apartment after leaving- the hospital to drop off cleaning supplies, not expecting to see Alex there.
Glancing at the next door, she saw a middle–aged woman and a young man exiting, letting out a sigh of relief.
Although Alex had moved on from their past, their shared social circle still remained. With her two children and her new identity as Orion’s attending physician, it was inevitable that their paths would cross again.
If Alex lived there, she would prefer to rent elsewhere rather than move in.
Mr. Warren, should we buy the neighboring house before you move in?” Barry asked cautiously as they exited the elevator.
“A neighbor could actually be quite good. Alex replied, shifting his mindset from wanting to buy the property to suddenly seeing its benefits.
Barry thought to himself, The charm of the little widow is indeed formidable.
Chapter 535
“Go to the market and help Luck pick out a girlfriend, Alex instructed from the backseat of the luxury car. He then leaned back, closing his eyes for a brief moment of rest
The driver exchanged a look with Barry, who nodded for him to start the engine. Stealing a sidelong glance at Alex, Barry thought, Finding a girlfriend for a neutered cat? Is Alex alright?
Zerikith Market is the largest open–air market for pets in the city, especially busy at this time of year. In late July, the sun wasn’t too harsh yet in the early morning, but the outdoor temperature was already nearing 86 F.
Ellie rushed along, clutching two pots of pothos. After a sleepless night, she needed to stop by the hospital later that afternoon, so she had to deliver the plants to her new home before heading back to the Thompson residence for some much–needed rest.
As she passed by, she heard two young girls arguing with a vendor selling cats. “We really did not drop it, one of the girls insisted. Ellie paused for a moment, gathering context from their heated exchange.
Her gaze wandered over the various cats and dogs displayed in cages, finally landing on a frail Ragdoll cat that lo was on the verge of death.
It was no older than three months, weak and gasping for breath as if its time was running out.
like it
Cats are known for their incredible balance and jumping skills, so even though the girls dropped it, there was no way the kitten could have gotten such injuries from a fall
Reluctant to get involved, Ellie resumed her brisk pace, but when she overheard the vendor demanding a thousand in compensation from the two girls, she felt she had to step in.
She discreetly tugged on one girl’s sleeve and whispered, There a pet hospital just around the corner. Go grab a few feline parvovirus test strips and check on that cat.”
After giving her advice, Ellie prepared to leave, but the girl, filled with gratitude, kept thanking her. “Stay here with the cat while I go get the test strips, she told her friend.
“Who the hell are you?” the cat vendor shouted. “Who invited you to meddle in my stall?” His wife screamed obscenities while he advanced on Ellie, wielding a stick.
The girl guarding the cat burst into tears, causing bystanders to step back in fear. Several nearby vendors began to circle around Ellie, echoing disparaging comments.
In the chaos, a scuffle broke out; Ellie’s two pots of pothos fell to the ground and were trampled.
“If you keep this up, I’ll call the police, Ellie shouted, noticing their deliberate actions as she grabbed her phone, ready to report the incident.
The vendor’s wife, joined by several stallholders, lunged at Ellie’s phone. “It’s early in the morning; how dare you report us and cause trouble?” she yelled.
Suddenly, she was kicked away, her bulky frame crashing into a cog cage, which prompted pained screams and curses.
Ellie spun around, still dazed by the unfolding chaos, only to find herself pressed against a firm chest, a hand gripping her shoulder. Looking up, she found Alex’s gaze, which shifted from concern to a hint of mischief.
Ellle thought to herself, “What an unlikely encounter: She averted her gaze and took a step back to create some distance.
“Damn it, where did this fool come from?” the vendor with a stic approached Alex, swearing loudly. Just as he swung at Alex, he found himself unexpectedly sent flying backward with swift kick.
