Ellie lowered her eyes, not looking at Alex’s expression at the moment, and turned to the sink to wash her hands.
Seeing this, the nurse hurriedly explained, “It’s this lady who is making a scene, refusing to cooperate with the treatment, and she…”
“Enough!” Alex stared at Ellie, who was standing with her back to him, and slowly narrowed his eyes. “I’m asking her, not you.”
The nurse, intimidated by Alex’s sinister gaze, quickly went to Ellie’s side.
Ellie said to the nurse, “Alina, take him to check the surveillance and then call the police.
Hearing that Ellie wanted to check the surveillance and call the police, Haley hurriedly grabbed Alex’s arm. “Alex, I’m in so much pain. Can you take me to a doctor first?”
The next moment, Alex picked up Haley and quickly left the examination room.
Colleagues outside the examination room, who had heard the commotion, saw Alex carrying Haley and left in big strides, starting to gossip.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t that Ellie’s boyfriend just now?”
“I heard Ellie and her rich boyfriend broke up a long time ago.”
“So Ellie got dumped?”
“Keep your voices down, don’t let Ellie hear you. That woman who just came in was obviously looking for trouble.”

Ellie closed the door to the examination room, listening to the gossip outside.
More than a decade of living under someone else’s roof had shaped her patient and sensitive character, which was not something that could be easily changed.
A long time ago, Aaron had told her, “To become strong, you must first learn to ignore. As long as you have the ability to ignore people and things that drain your energy, you are not far from success.”
She no longer wanted to be influenced by anyone’s emotions. She wanted to give her time and energy back to herself and strive to live her life well.
At noon, during her break, Ellie went to deliver some things she had bought for her parents to her apartment. At the elevator, she happened to meet Alex holding Haley, waiting for the elevator.
Casually catching sight of Haley’s smug face, Ellie turned and walked down the fire escape stairs.
Seeing Ellie avoiding Alex and herself, Haley whispered tentatively, “Alex, I never expected Ellie to take revenge at work, she could even lay a hand on me in front of the nurse.”
After Haley finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Alex’s response. She looked up along Alex’s line of sight and saw Ellie talking with a colleague not far away.
Haley suppressed her anger and reminded Alex that the elevator door had opened. Alex then came back to his senses and
