- Chapter 536
- Ellie watched as Alex unleashed a series of well–aimed strikes against the vendor couple. She sighed and stared at Barry, who was hurrying toward them. She thought. After spending five years in prison, Alex’s temper hasn’t cooled a bit
- Seeing Alex defend Ellie, Barry quickly rushed over to help. “How much did you pay for that?” Alex asked Ellie after subduing the couple, who were cowering and pleading for mercy
- Ellie glanced down at the trampled pothos and replied. “Ten
- “Pay her a hundred, you hear me?” With one foot pressing down on the man’s groin, Alex applied pressure. The woman scrambled to pay.
- After a moment of hesitation, Ellic accepted the money. Once Alex finally let the man go, she urged the two girls to leave quickly. “Thank you,” she called back to Alex as she made her way out.
- Thelped you, don’t you want to return the favor?” Alex caught up with her, tilting his head as he studied her face.
- Ellie paused and glanced at Barry. Although she was sure Alex had forgotten her, everyone around him still rememb d what had happened between them.
- If someone brought it up in front of Alex, he might lose control again.
- I’ll keep ten: I’ll transfer the rest to you,” Ellie said as she pulled out her phone to send back the extra money to Alex.
- Alex’s gaze lingered on Ellie’s delicate hands, a mischievous glint appearing in his eyes as he asked, “Are you a vet?”
- Since he declined the money. Ellie put her phone away and corrected him, “I can treat both human and animal ailments.”
- Perfect. Then help me pick out a better–pedigreed cat as a token of your appreciation,” Alex suggested, looking deeply into Ellie’s eyes, “Will I hold your hand and lead you, or will you follow me?
- I
- Ellie glanced at the time, feeling a bit cornered. “Let’s go,” she mattered reluctantly.
- She knew Alex’s temperament well; if she refused, he would lose his temper. Completely exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open, she trudged after Alex, fighting to keep her eyelids from closing.
- Forty minutes later, feeling overheated, fatigued, and drowsy, she finally admitted defeat. I need to go; you can manage on
- your own.”
- She chose a male cat, while he wanted to pick a female cat. She liked cute faces; he preferred sleek builds. She valued purity; he complained about dull coats.
- She cared about temperament; he objected to the cat’s eagerness to eat Ultimately, their preferences clashed at every turn
- “You didn’t help me find a new cat, but at least can I expect you to treat me to a drink?” Ellie tried to leave again, but Alex blocked her way and said.
- Sweat soaked Alex’s back; his shirt sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, and beads of perspiration ran down his cheek as he continuously dabbed his face with a tissue, all while checking his hair in the reflection of his phone.
- Ellie pointed to a nearby shop. “Let’s go get something to drink, the suggested. She ordered three cups of freshly squeezed lemonade over ice and paid.
- Tm not used to drinking on the go, wait until I finish, Alex remarked and intercepted her once more when she tried to
- leave.
- Tll wait in the car,” Barry said, wanting to avoid being the awkward third wheel. He grabbed his lemonade and hurried off.
- Chapter 536
- Under the sunshade, Ellie and Alex sat facing each other, each with a cold drink in front of them. Alex took a deep sip from his cup and then adjusted the shop’s fan towards their table.
- Turning back to look at Ellie, he found her slumped over the table, fast asleep.
- Alex scrutinized her, smirking as he said, “It’s only eight, and youre this tired? Looking all meek, but this little widow must be out having sex the whole night.”
- Chapter 537
- When Ellie woke up, Alex was already gone. Before he left, the owner of the shop had given her a straw hat, saying it was a gift from the man who had been with her.
- Ellie hesitated but accepted the hat. It was a wide–brimmed straw hat in a bright grass–green color, unexpectedly decorated with another layer of grass. A strange choice.
- She looked up at the glaring sun overhead and put on the quirky hat, walking out of the market.
- “Where on earth did you find such an ugly hat?” Whitney exclaimed when Ellie got back to the Thompson residence. She took the hat from Ellie’s hand.
- Ellie glanced at the hat, which was undeniably hideous, and tirely replied, “I forgot my sunshade, so I just grabbed this.”
- Jason asked for you to come to his study,” Whitney said, pointing toward the stairs.
- A few minutes later, Ellie knocked and walked into Jason’s study. He was working on a potted plant by the window and reminded her to shut the door.
- Jason, why is Haley alive and back with Orion? She even saved his life?” Ellie blurted out, desperate to know what was going on with Haley.
- The military has confirmed her identity and the details surrounding her arrival at the border, including her rescue of Orion,” Jason explained, laying down his pruning shears and looking at Ellie.
- He said, “Your job is to treat Orion’s facial injuries. Other than that, try not to ask too many questions”
- Ellie said, “But Jason, Quinlee is clearly Haley. I personally cut her spine, and 1 watched her get carried away by the flood. How could she possibly show up at the border just in time to save Orion?”
- Haley had reappeared, boldly pretending to be Quinlee in front of everyone, including Ellie. Ellie couldn’t remain silent about this.
- “The less you know, the better.” Jason’s tone shifted to serious. “Say out of matters that aren’t your concern. Your only duty is to heal the sick.”
- The tension in the study became thick, and Ellie struggled to process Jason’s stern look. Opening her mouth hesitantly, she finally said, “Jason, Haley and I are sworn enemies.
- “Even if I wanted to let her go, she would never do the same for me. Plus, I now have two kids–1 have to look after their safety.”
- “The risks you can see are minor compared to the dangers hiding in your ignorance. Stay focused on your job and be careful. You don’t need to worry about Orion or that woman, Jason replied firmly, his expression serious.
- “But Jason, what if she acts like she did five years ago? Back then had no weaknesses, but now I have two kids. I can’t put their lives in danger.” Ellie felt her emotions start to spiral out of control.
- Jason insisted, “If I could, I would never put you in this position or make you Orion’s doctor. Do you get that?”
- Seeing the absolute seriousness on Jason’s face, Ellie swallowed her words. After leaving Jason’s study, Ellie took a quick shower and lay in bed, thinking over his words again and again.
- It was clear that Jason’s instruction for her to become Orion’s physician came directly from the government.
- In other words, Orion’s return was something special. So, whether it was the fake Quinlee or the real Haley, keeping her must serve a bigger plan.
- Chapter 537
- Even though she, Mark, and Haley had all signed non–disclosure agreements, Haley was now living as Quinlee, the daughter of the Janssen family, eager to become Mrs. Warren.
- Chapter 538
- Ellie thought. With such an opportunity available, can Haley actually keep the Warren family from realizing that Orion has come back, and that she is the one who has rescued him?
- After a nap until around four in the afternoon, Ellie got up, quickly ate a small meal, and barely spent any time with her children before rushing off to the hospital.
- “I am Orion’s fiancée, not a caregiver. If she didn’t do a good job then find someone else. I’m not a nurse; even if I wanted to help, I can’t do all this on my own.”
- When Ellie entered the director’s office, she found Quinlee arguing with Mark, her emotions clearly all over the place.
- ‘Til think about this; you can leave for now, Mark said, dismissing Quinler as Ellie entered. Quinlee glanced at Ellie before leaving the room.
- “The nurse assigned to care for Orion got injured. Quinlee refuses to take care of him, so we need to find someone else, Mark explained, sitting at his desk in a white coat, rubbing his temples.
- He added. The problem is that Orion is a special patient; even nurses need to go through evaluations and get approve before they can help.
- “Mark, let the higher–ups send someone. Frequent changes in stall could cause unnecessary risks,” Ellie suggested.
- Mark looked at her and asked, “What about Linda?”
- “Are you talking about the third daughter who was kicked out by the Janssen family and left without a place to stay?” Ellie hesitated.
- Seeing Mark nod, Ellie fell silent. Linda was an adopted daughter who specialized in psychology. If she could be Orion’s dedicated nurse, her expertise would definitely help him recover from the traumatic stress of his wartime experiences.
- After Quinlee was “back” to the Janssen family, Linda had somehow angered Quinlee and had not only been expelled from the family but also thrown out of Jinerity.
- With no way to support herself and her studies left unfinished, she ended up at Jaslands, refusing help from Winnie, and had been working as a sales assistant at a pharmacy ever since.
- Mark explained, “Winnie has always tried to help Linda, but she is so stubborn. She wants nothing to do with the Janssen. family. A while ago, Winnie asked me to find a suitable role for Linda at the hospital.
- “If Linda is good enough, she could stay on 24–hour standby in Crion’s ward.”
- Over an hour later, Ellie and Mark laid out an initial treatment plan for Orion’s facial recovery, with Ellie volunteering to bring Linda to the hospital for work.
- In the evening. Ellie hurried straight to the pharmacy where Linda worked. Looking through the glass at the bustling store, Ellie spotted Linda, a petite girl.
- Her large, sparkling eyes were especially beautiful, and her smile was incredibly sweet. While Ellie was observing Linda. Alex was in the fancy car parked outside, staring intently at Ellie.
- “Mr. Warren, Jerome and his son’s company is over there,” Barry said, trying to correct Alex’s sense of direction.
- Seeing Alex still lost in thought, Barry continued, “Mr. Warren, during your absence, Jerome and his son used unethical methods to take most of the desirable projects from the Warren Group with this company.”
- Mr. Warren, what should we do next?” Barry asked.
- Chapter 538
- “Go buy a few bottles of paraquat and soak all the money trees that company, Alex said, stepping out of the car.
- As Barry watched Alex walk toward the pharmacy, he realized Ee was there. Confused, Barry stood up, running a hand over his crew cut, puzzled by the idea of poisoning a rival company’s money tree.
- Chapter 539
- Ellie anxiously gazed through the glass, waiting for Linda to finish work. Behind her, Alex, who stood six foot three, leaned silently against her, following her gaze into the shop.
- Suddenly, Ellie felt a familiar presence close in on her. As she turned her head, her cheek brushed against Alex’s, sending a shiver down her spine. Instinctively, she pushed him away.
- “Murder!” Alex yelled as Ellie’s car key accidentally grazed his face, causing him to double over in pain, gripping his injured cheek with one hand and tugging at Ellie’s leg with the other, grobning in discomfort.
- “Stop groaning and let go, Ellie exclaimed, aware that Alex had a firm grip on her white chiffon wide–leg trousers, drawing the attention of passersby who paused to stare.
- “My family has gone bankrupt. From now on, I’ll have to rely on my looks for food. This injury will ruin my beauty, you need to take me to the hospital. Alex stubbornly clung to her trousers.
- Just then, Barry walked by, carrying paraquat. He happened upon the scene and ignored Alex.
- Previously, Alex had pursued Ellie relentlessly, even ending up in a cell, but he had never won her heart. Now, with hist memory fading, it seemed they were both free of those old connections.
- Even though Ellie was a widow with two children, Alex couldn’t help but feel intrigued by her. Now that Ellie had a chance to talk with Alex, Barry felt the need to avoid being a third wheel.
- “With so many people watching, you’ve got to get up. Ellie pleaded, trying to soften her tone to coax Alex into releasing her pants. “I’m a reconstructive surgeon. Let me take a look at your wound first to see if you need to go to the hospital.
- “I admit I injured your face, but my legs are nothing like yours; can’t outrun you. Just let go of my pants, and we’ll figure this out. I promise I won’t run away.”
- Noticing that Alex remained unmoving, Ellie furrowed her browin frustration. Why did I keep running into him today when I was trying so hard to avoid him?”
- Finally, with obvious reluctance, Alex stood up. He bent slightly, almost nudging his face against Ellie’s. She took a step back, carefully inspecting the cut on his face.
- The mark made by her key extended from his forehead down to beneath his eye–a long line of crimson. While it wasn’t serious, it definitely looked bad.
- “It’s
- пос that serious; I’ll just go inside and buy some supplies, Elle said quickly before Alex could protest. A few minutes later, she emerged from the pharmacy holding a bag of medical supplies.
- Looking at Alex’s sour expression as he stood stiffly before her. Ellie tilted her head to meet his gaze. “Don’t worry, I’m sure there won’t be any scarring.”
- “Mr. Warren, please don’t worry; Ms. Thompson works at Bondie Private Hospital. If there are any problems, you can always go to her,” Barry chimed in, noticing Alex’s grim expression.
- Ellie glanced at Barry, momentarily at a loss for words. Alex pushed Barry aside and bent slightly with his hands on his knees, stretching his neck to catch Ellie’s attention.
- Ellie retrieved items from her bag and gently tended to his wound. Normally, for an ordinary man, such a minor injury wouldn’t be a big deal, but Alex was anything but ordinary.
- Chapter 540
- When he was ruthless, it was deadly, and when he was being pretentious, it was even worse.
- “Could you at least bandage me?” Alex complained as Ellie hurrically wrapped his injury with just a few motions, irritation evident in his voice.
- The heat makes it worse for healing.” Ellie replied hesitantly, as his wound was just a scratch.
- “No way, you need to wrap it, he insisted. Seeing no other choice, Ellie complied and placed a band–aid over the cut. With their closeness, Alex stared intently at Ellie, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
- “Alex, you scoundrell” Just as Ellie prepared to turn away, Diana suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kicked Alex from
- behind.
- Caught off guard, Ellie couldn’t turn in time, nor could Alex evade the surprise attack. With Ellie’s startled yell, Alex stumbled forward, falling onto her and sending them both down onto the pavement.
- Diana didn’t realize that Alex would just remain still. Seeing Ellie toppled over caught her off guard, she gasped, quickly covering her eyes in shock.
- As Ellie clutched his collar, Alex let out a low groan, yet instead of feeling hurt, she opened her eyes to find herself being cradled securely in Alex’s strong arm, her back safe from the ground.
- He held her up with one arm, drawing admiring whispers from the crowd around them. Hearing the compliments, Ellie snapped back to reality.
- She tried to push Alex off to regain her position, but his grasp was firm. Gazing into his teasing eyes, Ellie’s expression. darkened. “Let me get up”
- Alex teased, “Am I impressive?”
- Ellie stayed silent. Alex tightened his grip on her arms, playfullyjostling her. “Come on, tell me, am I impressive?”
- As the onlookers egged them on, Ellie wished she could disappear into the ground. “Still not speaking?” Alex held her firmly. starting to do one–handed push–ups.
- “What a jerk!” Diana, furious at Alex’s evident exploitation of Ellie’s situation, rolled up her sleeves to intervene.
- Barry quickly jumped in. “Ms. Grant, don’t worry; Mr. Warren won’t harm Ms. Thompson.”
- “You’re no better.” Diana shot back, landing a quick jab to Barry eye, rendering him instantly dazed.
- “You’re impressive. You’re the best,” Ellie finally exclaimed, forced into praise as she gave in to the pressure.
- Pleased, Alex released Ellie. Alex touched her side, causing her mind to go blank in an instant.
- “If you want to see me longer, why not come to my place for a more leisurely view! Alex said, straightening his arm as Barry checked his bruise, his gaze at Ellie filled with flirtation.
- Ellie’s expression shified quickly as she grabbed Diana’s arm and hurried into the pharmacy. Alex continued to watch Ellie until she disappeared inside, unable to resist the temptation to smell his hand that had just held her.
- “Mr. Warren, your arm looks pretty bad; should we go to the hospital now?” Barry asked, concern written all over his face.
- “Tll just wait until tomorrow to see her at her hospital,” Alex replied with a grin, then turned to find Barry’s eye, which looked like it’d been punched.
- “The gears of my destiny have just begun to turn, while yours is about to unravel, Alex remarked, glancing at Barry’s bruised eye. “What’s up with your eye? It looks like it’s about to be a painting on a wall.”
- “That was a punch from Ms. Thompson’s friend, Ms. Grant,” Barry whispered, covering his swollen eye.
- “Oh, it’s no big deal. Alex concluded before ripping off the band–aid from his face. Barry rolled his eyes.
