- Chapter 581
- “I don’t have telepathy. How would I know you’d come over with Mr. Warren at this particular time?” Ellie feigned innocence as she slowly approached Quinlee.
- Leaning in slightly, she lowered her voice. “I warned you not to provoke me, but you just couldn’t stay out of trouble.”
- “You!” Quinlee pushed Ellie with force.
- She raised her hand mid–air, glancing between Ellie and Linda before reluctantly putting it down. “You’ll pay for this!” Quinlee muttered, stumbling into the elevator.
- Ellie dusted off her hands and straightened up. With this incident, Quinlee was unlikely to go seeking praise from Alex’s parents anytime soon.
- “Linda, go to the MRI department and bring Orion back to his room,” Ellie instructed before entering the hospital room to clean up
- the mess.
- “Enjoyed the show?” Alex’s voice suddenly sounded from behind, startling Ellie so much that she dropped the cushion she had just picked up.
- “What are you doing back here?” Ellie hadn’t expected Alex to return and felt a momentary pang of guilt.
- Alex bent down and picked up the cushion, leaning in close to Ellie. He pointed to his overly handsome profile. “Check if my mom slapped my face swollen.”
- Ellie took a step back and looked at Alex’s reddened ear and cheek. “It’s not swollen.”
- “It hurts so much. Can you see if there’s anything broken?” Alex leaned in again.
- Ellie dodged. “Nothing’s broken.”
- “My lip hurts too. Do you think it’s infected?” Alex pointed to his lower lip that Ellie had bitten earlier.
- “Mr. Warren!” Ellie’s tone turned cold and her expression hardened.
- “Where’s Orion?” Alex abruptly changed the topic, hugging the cushion and sitting obediently on the sofa.
- “He is in MRI for a check–up. It might take a while longer. Mr. Warren, please wait here for a moment, and I’ll go bring him. back.” Ellie wanted to avoid being alone with Alex and found an excuse to leave.
- But just as she was about to go, Linda pushed Orion’s wheelchair into the room.
- Linda said, “Watching that woman get slapped half to death was so satisfying! Next time, Dr. Thompson, you’ve got to let me know when something like this happens.
- “You really have a knack for timing! You told me to go get Orion, um, uh…”
- As Linda handed Ellie the examination form, she finally noticed that someone was still sitting on the sofa in the waiting area. Realizing this, she quickly fell silent and wheeled Orion’s chair into the hospital room.
- “Dr. Thompson, care to explain how you timed that so perfectly?” Alex slowly stood up and walked over to Ellie, his tone teasing and playful.
- “Uh, Mr. Warren, your brother is still inside waiting for you,” Ellie said, her toes digging into the floor awkwardly as she pushed past Alex and turned to leave.
- Alex’s gaze lingered on Ellie’s retreating figure, and he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
- Chapter 581
- Just then, Linda came out of the hospital room. Alex stopped her. “Got a question for you?
- Linda blinked her big, bright eyes. “What’s up?”
- Alex asked, “Does Dr. Thompson have a… significant other in this hospital?”
- Hearing the playful tone in Alex’s voice, Linda got a bit annoyed. “Mr. Warren, what nonsense are you talking about? Dr. Thompson is the most dignified and self–respecting girl I’ve ever met.”
- Alex chuckled, “A girl… who’s also a mom?”
- Linda defensively stood up for Ellie. “Every girl has encountered jerks in their youth
- “So even a sweet pretty woman like her can still get hurt. Some people are just monsters,” Alex mumbled, turning and walking into the hospital room.
- Chapter 582
- The day before Thanksgiving, Jaslands had just seen rain. Alex rarely visited the Warren Manor, but this time was an exception.
- Entering the living room, he saw his parents‘ solitary figures discussing plans to visit Carlos grave tomorrow. Changing into his house slippers, he walked into the central living room.
- Todd noticed his son and sighed without saying a word.
- Nancy shot Alex a glare and spoke in a sarcastic tone, “Your father’s cat is almost out of cat food.”
- Alex sat on the sofa, petting the cat. After a brief moment of hesitation, he said, “Mom, can you make some savory pastries for tomorrow?”
- “There’s no one to eat them. Why bring that up all of a sudden?” Mentioning the pastries caused Nancy’s expression to change immediately.
- In the past, her eldest son Orion loved her savory pastries. After he passed away, Ellie had come into their lives and also loved them.
- But now, with one gone and the other estranged from the Warren family, even though she wanted to make them, there was no one left to enjoy them.
- “Mom, I want to eat them,” Alex suddenly said.
- Nancy was astonished. “You usually hate desserts. What’s gotten into you?”
- Lowering his gaze to hide his emotions, Alex repeated, “Mom, I want to eat them.”
- “Alright, alright. I’ll make you a couple.” Nancy softened at the sight of her lonely, grown–up son and agreed.
- “Mom, make a few more,” Alex reminded her. Seeing her skeptical look, he mumbled a half–hearted explanation, “I want to take a couple to Grandpa’s grave tomorrow.”
- As it neared the end of the workday, Ellie used the excuse of doing rounds to visit Orion’s hospital room.
- She stationed Linda in the lounge area outside to keep watch while she went in to work with Orion on retrieving classified documents.
- “Since we’ve already completed most of it, there’s no rush. Whenever you want to pick this up again, just call me,” Ellie said, saving the files onto a USB drive and shutting down the computer. Her heart was still pounding.
- She hadn’t expected the classified files Orion referred to were a set of medical data, specifically a compound designed to counteract addiction to most street drugs.
- If this compound went into production, countless addicts could be freed from their addictions and return to normal lives.
- The researcher who developed this drug had been targeted by an international drug cartel. Orion had been tasked with bringing the researcher back home but was ambushed en route.
- The USB containing the data had been stolen at one point. Under extreme circumstances, Orion managed to memorize all the data and store it in his mind, eventually making it back to Ditato.
- After finally calming down, Ellie left the room, only to find Alex heading to see Orion.
- Chapter 582
- “Sorry, Dr. Thompson. Mr. Warren insisted on coming in, and I couldn’t stop him, Linda said, shrugging helplessly.
- “It’s fine,” Ellie said without elaborating. She thought to herself that with Alex’s stubbornness, it would have been surprising if Linda could’ve stopped him.
- “Mr. Warren, you can go in now,” Ellie said, standing aside to make way.
- Alex stood still and handed Ellie a box of pastries, “Here”
- Ellie didn’t take them. She looked up at Alex.
- “My mom made these today,” Alex said, extending the box towards her again.
- Ellie hesitated but still didn’t take them. “Mr. Warren, hospital regulations prohibit doctors from accepting gifts from patients‘ families. But thank you anyway.” She stepped back.
- “Take it,” Alex said, placing the box directly into her hands before she could finish her sentence.
- Chapter 583
- “If you dare put it down, don’t blame me,” he warned, grasping both the box and Ellie’s hands in his own as he mimed a biting motion with a teasingly menacing look.
- Ellie glanced awkwardly at Linda nearby and reluctantly accepted the pastries. She was genuinely worried that Alex might lose it in front of Linda and actually bite her.
- Holding the pastries, Ellie quickly left the room. She saw Barry in the hallway, and her gaze flickered uneasily before she hastened away.
- Barry’s confused expression followed Ellie’s retreating figure, focusing on the pastries in her hands. He thought, ‘If I didn’t mishear, Mr. Warren said those pastries were for the memorial. He didn’t even let me try them. How did they end up with Ellie?’
- That evening, Ellie brought the savory pastries Alex had given her home. Her daughter, Betty, took one bite and refused to eat more, but her son, Oscar, enjoyed them immensely.
- “It’s after dinner already. No matter how much you like them, you can’t have too many,” Ellie said as she walked over and took a small piece for herself.
- The familiar taste brought back memories–it was just like it used to be when Nancy made them by hand. The other box Alex had must have been for Orion.
- +5
- She remembered how, back at the Warren family, Nancy knew she liked these savory pastries and often made them for her.
- It turned out Oscar shared her taste and also enjoyed them. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart–heavy yet neither sad nor joyful.
- “Mom, tomorrow’s Thanksgiving and I’m off all day. I’ll go buy groceries in the morning, so don’t get up early,” Ellie said that night as she brought a neck massager into Joanna’s room that she had bought for her.
- She had been so busy at the hospital lately that she hadn’t had time to properly spend with her mom and two kids. “Take care of yourself and don’t overwork. I can take care of myself and two kids,” Joanna said, sitting on the bed, learning how to use the massager from Ellie while chatting about daily life.
- “Mom, thank you.” Ellie put
- down the massager
- and gave
- her mom a warm hug.
- Even though her mom couldn’t read a single word, she was understanding and gave Ellie immense support and patience.
- When Ellie went abroad for several years and came back with her children, her mom didn’t utter a word of complaint–just endless concern, affection, and acceptance.
- Ellie didn’t feel tired at all. She felt incredibly lucky and happy.
- The next morning, Ellie was jolted awake by the sound of her phone ringing.
- Just forty minutes later, though it wasn’t yet time for her shift, Ellie had already rushed to the hospital.
- “Linda, don’t let anyone in. If Mr. Warren comes, tell him to call me. I’ll speak to him myself,” Ellie instructed Linda before entering Orion’s room.
- “Great, all the data has been sent!” Ellie said excitedly, staring at the computer screen over an hour later. Orion gripped the armrest of his wheelchair tightly.
- Chapter 583
- “Mr. Warren, they replied–it’s approved, Ellie said, just as the ringing phone interrupted her celebration.
- Jason’s voice came through loud and clear on the other end. “Orion, leave the rest to me. You just focus on recovering.
- That woman has already reached the outpatient building. Tell Ellie to leave the hospital immediately and remind her not to run into her, Jason said before hanging up.
- Orion spoke urgently, “Get the prepared items ready and go now.”
- Ellie quickly switched to another laptop, inserted the same USB drive, packed everything up, and left the room.
- As she stepped into the hallway, she heard the elevator’s mechanical noises indicating its arrival. With no time to escape, she quickly ducked into the opposite room and quietly shut the door behind her.
- Chapter 584
- 100%
- Through the blinds, Ellie saw Quinlee enter Orion’s room, her hands nervously clenching each other tightly.
- Today was supposed to be Ellie’s day off; she’d rushed over at dawn when Orion called abruptly. She hadn’t anticipated today would be the day they’d spring their trap.
- Jason had been incredibly busy and scarcely seen these past few days. His phone call warning her to leave was because he didn’t want Quinlee to see her and cause trouble.
- But with Orion unable to see and Linda alone inside, Ellie wasn’t sure Linda could handle it. After a brief hesitation, Ellie decided to stay hidden a bit longer to observe how things unfolded.
- In the hospital room, Quinlee walked in, her high heels clicking against the floor.
- “Where the hell is that lazy girl Linda hiding now?” she muttered under her breath. Noticing the ajar door leading to the inner room, Quinlee slowed her pace.
- Peeking through the gap, she saw Orion typing away on his computer.
- The rhythmic sound of the keys made Quinlee’s heart skip a beat. She thought, ‘Could it be that Orion isn’t really blind and he’s just pretending?”
- She glanced at her watch–it was almost noon, a time for family gatherings. Yet, Orion was all alone.
- She thought, ‘It seems the Warren family hasn’t figured out he’s still alive. Otherwise, there’s no way Alex wouldn’t have come to take Orion home for Thanksgiving!
- Quinlee couldn’t see the screen clearly from her distance. Suddenly getting an idea, she pushed the door open and stepped inside. “Orion, what are you working on?”
- Orion swiftly closed his laptop just as Quinlee approached, her eyes catching a glimpse of some data on the screen.
- Quinlee’s eyes narrowed. She thought, ‘If I saw it right, Orion is replicating that top–secret data. He’s starting to remember.
- “Orion, can I use your laptop to check an email?” Quinlee asked tentatively as she moved closer to Orion’s laptop, only for him to grab her wrist firmly.
- “You can’t use this laptop,” Orion said, his empty gaze solemn. Quinlee sighed with relief, confident that he was indeed blind.
- “Oh, Orion, didn’t you mention you needed a document done? Have you finished it?” Quinlee asked again, eyes fixed on the metallic USB drive plugged into the laptop.
- She reached out tentatively, but Orion was quicker, yanking out the USB drive and clenching it in his fist.
- “It’s complete,” Orion declared as he wheeled himself back towards the bed.
- “Orion, where’s Linda?” Quinlee’s eyes flickered uncertainly.
- “She has the day off for Thanksgiving,” Orion replied.
- Quinlee stood still, watching as Orion settled back onto the bed to rest. Her focus remained intensely on the metallic USB drive clenched in Orion’s hand.
- “Orion, let me get you a glass of water,” Quinlee said, placing her bag down and heading to fetch some water.
- With her back to Orion, she quickly dropped a white pill into the glass. Her palms grew sweaty from nerves as she shook the water to dissolve the pill before bringing it over to Orion’s bedside. “Here, take a sip before you sleep.”
- Chapter 584
- Orion propped himself up and drank a few sips of the water, then lay back down.
- 100%
- I need to rest now. Please close the door on your way out. Thanks Orion’s tone was cold and dismissive. Quinlee quickly agreed, grabbed her bag, and left the room, closing the door softly behind her.
- On the bed, Orion pulled up the blanket to cover the soaked spot on his chest.
- Standing outside the hospital room, Quinlee silently counted down in her mind. A few minutes later, she cautiously re- entered the room.
- “Orion?” She called out a few times, receiving no response from the still figure on the bed. Quinlee’s tense nerves finally relaxed.
- Chapter 585
- Extracting the metallic USB drive from Orion’s hand, Quinlee exhaled deeply in relief.
- She thought, Once I hand this USB drive over to him, I’ll cut ties with that man completely. Starting tomorrow, I’ll stay here and genuinely build my relationship with Orion.
- When Orion’s face heals and his sight returns, we’ll get married. Once I’m part of the Warren family as Mrs. Warren, I’ll deal with that little bitch Ellie later.
- Without wasting any more time, Quinlee swiftly left the room.
- After she was gone, Orion slowly opened his eyes.
- “Orion, Linda said as she helped Orion sit up, having just come out of the cupboard.
- Seeing Orion remain silent, Linda cut a piece of savory pastry and fed it to him directly.
- She said, “Orion, this pastry tastes just like mom’s cooking. Even though you can’t go back to spend Thanksgiving with the family this year, at least you can still enjoy some of mom’s treats. That’s something to be happy about.
- “Look at me, Orion. I don’t have any family left, but I’m so happy to spend Thanksgiving with you. We should appreciate what we have. Tonight, I’ll wheel you out to the balcony, and you can tell me stories under the stars.”
- Linda carefully avoided mentioning anything she’d just seen about Orion’s work.
- Ellie, who was in the visitors‘ area of the hospital room, heard Linda’s uplifting voice and felt reassured as she left.
- Around six in the evening, it wasn’t dark yet.
- Diana was driving to pick up her third uncle to go to the Grant Manor for dinner. When she drove, she suddenly saw Quinlee sneaking into a cab.
- Suspicious, Diana thought, ‘What’s this woman up to on a holiday?‘ Trusting her instincts, Diana turned her car around and followed.
- The cab headed towards the outskirts of town, making Diana feel more uneasy. She thought, ‘If we go much further, it’ll be the demolition area. What is she doing out here alone at night?‘
- She checked the time; she’d been following Quinlee for about an hour.
- Seeing her fuel gauge hit red, Diana recalled Ellie’s suspicions about Quinlee. After hesitating briefly, she continued following.
- Just then, Aaron called Diana.
- Hearing Aaron say he had something to deliver and was already at the Grant Manor gate, Diana had to admit she wasn’t home.
- “Just leave it in my room; I’ll be back soon,” she said, watching as Quinlee’s cab came to a stop and quickly pulling over.
- Aaron pressed on the phone, “Where are you right now?”
- “I’m following Quinlee. We’re in the outskirts,” Diana whispered after getting out of her car.
- “Diana, I’m warning you not to act rashly. Send me your location now so I can come get you.” Aaron’s voice was urgent.
- Chapter 585
- Diana replied, “You know how capable I am–I can take on eight by myself. I’ll be fine.”
- “If you don’t send me your location now, I’ll tell Mr. Grant immediately. Under Aaron’s threat, Diana had no choice but to send her location.
- Just as she sent it, her phone battery died.
- Watching Quinlee get out of the cab and enter a small bar, Diana ignored Aaron’s warnings and followed her inside. Trailing Quinlee through the bar and down a hallway, Diana unknowingly ended up at the back door of the establishment.
- Diana exited through the back door of the bar, which was quickly locked from the inside. She found herself trapped in the back alley by a group of masked individuals.
- +5
- “Who are you people?” Diana’s eyes fell on the double–edged short daggers some of them were holding and quickly assessed her surroundings.
- “We’re the ones here to take your life.” A menacing voice came from behind the crowd, and within moments, around a dozen armed men advanced toward Diana.
