- Chapter 541
- That evening. Ellie managed to convince Linda to join Bondie Private Hospital. To sweeten the deal, she promised an extra three months” salary as a bonus, which prompted Linda to resign from her pharmacy job that very night.
- The following morning at nine, Linda arrived on time at the hospital to start her new role. After a quick one–on–one training session. Ellie took her to the entrance of the ward.
- “What on earth are you thinking? A foster daughter expelled by the Janssen family, and she’s not even a trained nurse–what do you expect her to do?” Quinlee exclaimed as she stormed out of the ward, pointing at Linda.
- Linda lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips, saying nothing. Ellie stepped in front of Linda to shield her from harsh words. “If you don’t want her here, can you personally take care of the patient?”
- alee’s
- Quinlee, caught off guard by Ellie’s response, watched as Ellie guided Linda into the ward, a sneer lingering on her lips. When Quinlee had been welcomed back into the Janssen family, Linda had always gotten on Quinlee’s nerves.
- At such a young age, Linda had a strikingly innocent look that only seemed to irritate Quinlee more. Later, Quinlee played a cruel trick, leading the Janssen family to think Linda had inappropriate feelings for Orion.
- Quinlee had secretly added labor–inducing drugs to Quinlee’s meals, resulting in her losing the baby.
- As a result, Linda had been beaten and thrown out of the house, banned from ever stepping foot in Jinerity again. had passed without anyone seeing her, so Quinlee was surprised to see her in Jaslands again.
- Five years
- Suddenly, a scream pierced the air as Quinlee entered the ward, followed quickly by Mark. Ellie, who had been in the waiting area ready to answer a call, was met with chaos when she returned to the ward.
- Linda lay sprawled on the floor, one hand pressed against her lower back and the other clutching at the ground. Her nurse’s cap was tilted and sweat glistened on her forehead. “Ellie, help. My poor back.”
- Earlier, she had spotted a long strand of hair on the shoulder of Orion and had reached out to remove it, only to be unexpectedly thrown over his shoulder.
- Meanwhile, Orion sat in the wheelchair with his back turned to the door, quietly wiping his hands with a damp cloth.
- Ten minutes later, Linda exclaimed in the physical therapy room. “Ellie, I really can’t handle this job.” Despite the generous salary Ellie had offered, it didn’t mean much if she didn’t survive to enjoy it.
- She hadn’t even seen Orion’s face, yet he had almost incapacitated her. Clearly, he must have deep psychological issues. And to make things worse, Quinlee was there too.
- –
- “Linda, please hang in there just a bit longer; if it becomes too much, I won’t push you,” Ellie gently encouraged. Finding a nurse for Orion was complicated, and frequent changes would work,
- Just as Ellie was earnestly persuading Linda to stay, Winnie hurriedly entered. “I’ll step outside for a moment; you two keep talking.” Ellie announced before leaving the therapy room.
- Winnie sat on the edge of the therapy bed, her gaze towards Linda full of empathy. “Linda, I know about what happened back then. The elders of the Janssen family treated you unjustly
- “I understand that you don’t want my help, but your life and your work are yours to shape. Don’t let your feelings toward the Janssen family blind you to this great opportunity.
- The staff dormitory behind the hospital is almost finished. If you stay here, at least your living situation will be stable, and you won’t have to face uncertainty.”
- Chapter 542
- Listening to Winnie’s heartfelt words, Linda held back her own thoughts. Her resentment towards the Janssen family ran deep. When they left the physical therapy room, they unexpectedly bumped into Quinlee, who had come looking for them.
- Quinlee walked up to Winnie, deliberately ignoring Linda. “Winnie, what brings you here? I’m leaving now; let’s go together.”
- Winnie faced Quinlee with a frosty demeanor. “From now on, whether you’re the real Quinlee or a fake, you are not allowed to step foot inside my house again.”
- Quinlee’s smile faded as disbelief washed over her. “Winnie, what do you mean?” she demanded, taken aback.
- Winnie replied, “Five years ago, Ellie exposed you as Haley and accused you of murder. Although the case eventually died down due to the lack of evidence and your disappearance, Ellie presented your medical record.
- “It showed that both you and Ellie share the same inability to conceive. How do you explain that?”
- As Quinlee faced Winnie’s probing question, her expression shifted as emotions flickered across her face. Her gaze dropped, and tears threatened to spill
- Quinlee said, “After I fell into the sea, I couldn’t remember who I was for a long time. I was trafficked multiple times and treated horribly. I genuinely don’t know why I can’t conceive, just like Ellie.”
- Quinlee continued, “Five years ago, I was nearly killed by Ellie, but I always thought about family. Even if you don’t defend me, how can you say such hurtful things?”
- “I don’t want to hear your excuses, I just want to remind you that the Grant family is different from the Janssen family. I’ve said it: you absolutely can’t come to the Grant Manor.”
- Having said that, Winnie pulled Linda closer, said a few words to Ellie, and then walked away.
- Quinlee, overwhelmed by emotion, clenched her fists, trembling with anger. All this because of a medical record; Winnie had barred her from entering the Grant Manor for the sake of the Grant family.
- Quinlee thought, Thankfully, I still got Orion as leverage.
- Nearby, Ellie glanced at the angry Quinlee as she stepped into the elevator with Linda. “I spoke with the patient; he promised to be more careful in the future, she reassured Linda.
- Ellie added. “And don’t linger quietly behind him; you’ll get used to him soon enough.”
- Just then, a nurse approached Ellie as Ellie brought Linda to the entrance of the intensive care unit “Ellie, a guy is looking for you,” she said, pointing down the corridor.
- Following the nurse’s direction, Ellie saw Alex strolling toward her, exuding indifference. Ellie’s mind raced as she quickly. shut the door to the ward.
- When she turned around, she found Alex already standing right in front of her. He studied Ellie’s face, his gaze narrowing. “Feeling guilty? Are you hiding someone?” he teased, trying to push the door open behind Ellie.
- “What do you want?” Ellie’s tone was markedly intense as she forcefully shoved Alex back. Despite Orion’s severely disfigured face, only half of it was affected. If Alex went in now, he would instantly recognize Orion.
- The more Ellie pushed Alex away from the door, the more curious he became, leading to a tense struggle in the hallway Finally, Ellie, running out of options, blurted, Inside are two of my colleagues; they’re doing… you know, that kind of work.
- Instantly intrigued, Alex leaned in, whispering in Ellie’s ear, I’ve heard the medical field is pretty scandalous. Have you ever been involved in anything like that?” Ellie, infuriated, elbowed him away, causing Alex to stumble against her shoulder.

- Not far away, Barry watched as Alex seemed to forget why he was visiting the hospital, captivated by Ellie’s presence, Though he wanted to remind Alex why they were there, he did
- dare say a word.

- Ellie pushed Alex away, and her gaze turned to him, filled with skepticism. She genuinely doubted whether he had really lost his memory. Noticing the change in Ellie’s demeanor, Alex immediately adopted a more serious attitude.
- He pointed to his face and then rolled up his sleeve, exposing an inflamed injury on his arm. “This inflammation is because
- of you.”
- “Come with me.” Ellie said, glancing at the obviously inflamed wound on Alex’s arm and then at Linda, who was waiting by the door of the ward. Ellie discreetly led Alex out.
- In the outpatient clinic, Alex sat in Ellie’s usual position while she fetched his medication and settled the b Alex out of there, she was willing to invest her time and money to avoid a verbal fight with him.
- ager to get
- “Take the anti–inflammatory twice a day, one tablet each time. Clean the wound and apply ointment morning and night. Avoid any heavy activities that might strain your arm. If you have any problems, feel free to come back for a check–up,” Ellie said.
- She methodically took out each medication bottle and explained to Alex how and when to use them, then carefully placed them back into the bag and set it in front of him.
- When Alex refused to get up from his chair, Ellie struggled to keep her frustration in check. “I need to work now; please leave if there’s nothing else.”
- “What if I can’t find you later?” Alex asked, staring at Ellie as he placed his phone on the table. Ellie glanced at the phone and then back to him. The words “Give me your number‘ seemed almost written on his forehead.
- Trying to stay calm, Ellie pulled out a scrap of paper and wrote her phone number down for Alex. He leisurely took out his phone, dialed the number, and, upon seeing his number displayed on Ellie’s screen, finally stood up with satisfaction.
- “Your attitude is quite decent,” Alex remarked, taking a couple of steps before pausing. He locked his gaze onto Ellie’s face. “I’m feeling a bit thirsty, would you be so kind as to get me a glass of water?”
- Ellie was momentarily speechless. She felt in her pocket and pulled out a carton of milk that her daughter had given her before she left. She extended it toward Alex, saying, “Here, enjoy some milk.
- Seeing Alex standing there with his hands in his pockets, leaning forward with his mouth open, waiting to be fed, Ellie’s expression hardened.
- She inserted a straw and placed it on the table, saying, “You are difficult.” Alex quipped as he bent down to take a sip and then. turned to leave.
- As Alex exited the clinic, Ellie finally let out a sigh of relief. She decided that she needed to keep a much greater distance from him in the future.
- “Alex!” Quinlee rushed forward as soon as Alex stepped out of the clinic.
- “Who are you?” Alex asked, sipping his milk and casting a sidelong glance at Quinlee,
- Quinlee forced a laugh, assuming Alex was purposely ignoring her.
- ‘Alex, don’t believe those rumors; I had nothing to do with the rident five years ago,” she explained, feeling guilty, but Alex wasn’t receptive.
- “You’re insane,” he muttered under his breath before leaving.
- Stung by Alex’s words, Quinlee stood frozen in the hallway. Watching him walk away, she felt a twinge at the corners of her mouth.
- Chapter 543
- Five years ago, she had sent an anonymous letter to the prison, revealing to Alex that Ellie was pregnant with his child. Her message had driven him into madness and led to his escape.
- Quinlee had initially thought he would spend at least twenty or thirty years locked up. To her surprise, he had been released quickly, and now he was entangled with Ellie again.
- Chapter 544
Quinlee thought. Alex seemed to have forgotten me. Perhaps that is for the best; when I enter the Warren family as Orion’s wife, Alex would have no choice but to recognize me.”
Thinking about being Alex’s sister–in–law filled Quinlee with a sense of superiority that she struggled to suppress. However, there was something more pressing on her mind.
Winnie had not only distanced herself from Quinler but had also warned her never to set foot in the Grant Manor again. Quinlee needed to figure out a way to return to Jinerity to please the aging Janssen family members.
Once she secured her place in the Warren family, she wouldn’t need to worry about the Janssen or Grant fami nymore.
As Ellie emerged from the clinic, she spotted Quinlee in the hallway, wearing a triumphant expression. Their eyes met, and facing Quinlee’s challenging stare, Ellie emotionlessly looked away.
Jason had warned her several times, surely out of concern for her safety. A noble person can wait for revenge, and she decided to temporarily set aside her grievances with Quinlee.
After a busy day at the hospital, Ellie finally returned home to rest. She arrived at the Thompson residence just in time for dinner. As soon as she stepped into the living room, Diana approached her. “Honestly, has Alex been bothering you again?”
The mere mention of Alex made Ellie sigh. “No, it was just a chance encounter, she replied dismissively, slipping on her house slippers.
With Alex’s time in prison, his escape, Ellie’s studies abroad, and the birth of her children, five years was more than enough for Ellie to move on. Now, seeing Alex again, she felt neither hatred nor resentment.
She simply wanted to keep her peaceful life and have her own career, surrounded by family, children, and friends. She hoped for Alex to find happiness, to have his own family, and to start a new chapter in his life.
“Go wash up for dinner, Aaron called out, wearing navy–blue trousers and a white shirt with rolled–up sleeves, a patterned аргоп tied around his waist as he tugged on Diana’s arm.
“Oh,” Diana replied, hurrying to the sink in her slippers, while Agron reminded her from behind to slow down. Ellie observed them, sensing something felt off. “Has they started dating or not?
Ellie asked, “Aaron, what’s going on between you-
“Go wash your hands for dinner, Aaron interrupted Ellie, ushering her toward the sink.
“Diana, please visit often. If you have any preferences, just tell me and I’ll cook for you,” Joanna said, grinning widely at Diana sitting next to Aaron.
“Don’t worry, Joanna, I’ll be here often. And when Aaron finds a girlfriend, I’ll leave to avoid creating any awkwardness,” Diana said, throwing a glance at Aaron.
“With you eating two meals at my house every day, it’d be a miracle if I could find a girlfriend, Aaron shot back, scooping a generous piece of fish onto Diana’s plate while carefully removing the bones.
“If you think I’m a burden, I won’t come back tomorrow, Diana id, enjoying the fish Aaron had meticulously prepared for
her.
Tomorrow, my mom will be making lasagna,” Aaron mentioned and hearing that made Diana’s mouth water uncontrollably. “Then I’ll make sure to come back for another meal. she beamed.
Aaron cast a glance at Diana but silently returned his gaze. Ellie xchanged amused looks with Whitney at the table. She decided to let their conversation flow while focusing on her me and looking after the two children.

At that moment, her phone on the dining table began to vibrate Ellie hesitated and accepted a friend request from a stranger. Just as she was about to check the new friend’s posts, adeo call came through.
Accidentally clicking to answer, she was startled to see Alex lounging on a sofa in nothing but a robe, casually greeting her. “So eager to pick up? Are you waiting for-
Before Alex could finish his sentence, Ellie panicked and quickly hung up. At his age, exposing himself like that was utterly embarrassing- Chapter 545
-
“That little widow dares to hang up on me,” muttered Alex, sprawled out on the couch in his white bathrobe, his eyes glued to his phone.
The sash around his waist was loosely tied, and water droplets from his tousled hair trickled down his forehead, rolling down to his exposed chest.
A scar across his forehead, a reminder of a mischievous encounter with Ellie, added a wild charm to his otherwise relaxed and rakish look.
“Mr. Warren, dinner is served, Barry announced as he walked in from the dining room, noticing Alex loung! couch, absorbed in his phone.

“Come pick me up at eleven tomorrow morning,” Alex replied, still not moving from his comforts position on the couch
when Barry left.
Thinking about Alex’s five years in prison, Barry figured it was only natural for him to enjoy a little fun now that he could finally interact with women again.
Just as he was about to enter the elevator, he was startled by a figure that appeared in front of him.
“Mrs. Warren,” Barry exclaimed, taken aback by the furious Nancy standing at the door, looking as though she had materialized out of thin air.
“I want to know what Alex has been up to lately,” Nancy demanded, her gaze piercing through Barry.
“Mr. Warren has been busy looking into a few board members and the vice president,” Barry replied cautiously, trying to keep the peace.
“Don’t cover for him.” Nancy stepped closer and Barry instinctively recoiled,
Nancy added, “It’s not like he’s been at the office, and he hasn’t brought back a girlfriend. He’s been out of touch. He’s not really working.
Barry groaned to himself; he couldn’t really tell Nancy that Alex was caught up in flirting with a little widow.
*Barry, you have to tell me the truth. Alex hasn’t really gotten involved with some widow, has he?” Nancy’s concern sent Barry into a near panic..
No one knows a son better than his mother, and Nancy was proof of that. “M–Mrs. Warren- Barry stuttered, tongue–tied and unable to finish his thought.
“That little rascal, I swear I’ll slap him.” Her anger only grew as Barry’s reaction spurred her on. Turning with determination heels clicking sharply, Nancy stormed toward the door, frustration radiating off her as she nearly broke the doorbell with her slap.
“What the hell? Who’s there?” Alex’s annoyed voice came from inside the apartment are opened the door.
“You little scoundrel.” Nancy burst in, hand raised to strike, while Alex ducked back, instinctively avoiding her.
“Mom, you’re way too old for this. Can’t you just state your business without being so impulsive?” Alex retreated behind the sofa, quickly fastening his bathrobe.
“What happened to your face?” Nancy’s attention fell on the noticeable wound marring her son’s handsome features. instantly cooling her anger.
It was just an accident, Alex replied, brushing his fingers against the small scratch Ellie had given him with her key.

Nancy turned her scrutinizing gaze toward Barry, who was breathing slowly. “M–Mrs. Warren-
“Shut up.” Nancy and Alex said simultaneously, cutting Barry off
“Come to me,” Nancy commanded. With a heavy heart, Alex approached his Mom, bracing himself for what came next.
“I told you to be careful.” Nancy grabbed a chunk of Alex’s arm and twisted it painfully, pulling an immediate yelp from him.
Alex said, “Mom, that hurts.”
“Mrs. Warren, Mr. Warren’s arm is hurt, Barry said, but the tense looks from Nancy and Alex made him fall silent once
more.
Alex shot Barry a desperate glare, hoping to prevent his Mom from noticing his injury, but Nancy’s handine down on him with a swift slap. “How did you get hurt like this?” she pressed, her expression darkening.
Alex bent slightly and said nothing. Barry kept his head down, wishing he could disappear into a cupboard and avoid the confrontation.
“Did you get into trouble with some married woman?” Nancy speculated, arriving at a shocking conclusion.
