Chapter 201
Walking from the living room into the bedroom, the gray–tone minimalist yet luxurious decor of Alex’s room stood out, with a doll about one meter tall sitting on the sofa at the foot of the bed, looking out of place.
The doll was of high quality, and even after countless washes, it still looked the same.
When she first arrived at the Warren family, she would miss her home and family even more at night. Afraid of being disliked, she would hide and cry.
Eventually, Nancy found out and let her sleep in her room, but she still couldn’t stop crying. Even when she slept with the nanny, she continued to cry. Finally, Nancy tried moving her to lex’s room.
At first, she also cried there. However, Alex was so intimidating that she was frightened by him.
He warned her, “If you wet the bed, I’ll really get mad!” Terrified, she immediately held back her tears,
Thinking they were getting along well, Nancy let her keep sleeping in Alex’s room for a while so she could get accustomed to
ything at the Warren family.
However, she had a sleeping habit of holding onto something
She remembered waking up on Alex’s bed for the first time, being pulled out from under the covers by him.
He was annoyed with her for cuddling up to him, crying, and drooling on him.
That evening, he returned with a doll for her to hug while she slept.
Ellie picked up the doll, thinking it’s better to just throw it away. Keeping it was pointless.
After checking the monitors by the bed and seeing everything was normal, Ellie left.

Ellie noticed the heart rate, blood pressure, and all the data on the monitor were spiking, and she couldn’t help but frown. “I’m telling you that getting too worked up is no joke, and you…
“Shut up” Before Ellie could finish, Alex suddenly sat up on the bed.
Alex glared at the doll in Ellie’s hand, while Ellie looked at the equipment on Alex.
Following Alex’s gaze, she glanced at the doll in her hand, then put down the electrode patch attached to Alex’s fingers. Alex didn’t say anything, just kept his eyes on Ellie. When she pulled her hand back he grabbed her wrist.
Ellie tried hard to break free, but Alex held on tight. They tugged at each other, causing a thin layer of sweat to form on Ellie’s forehead.

Alex said, “Are yo

Seeing Ellie stay silent, Alex instinctively lowered his voice and said, “Ellie, can we talk?” Ellie nodded.
“Don’t make me mad!” Alex stared at Ellie, still not letting go.
Ellie lost her words for a while. After a short silence, she said, “As long as you don’t get physical
The moment she finished speaking. Alex let go of Ellie.
Ellie turned off the monitor and tidied up the equipment.
Freed, Alex stood up, stretched, and said, “Count for me.”
With that, Alex started doing push–ups on the bed. Standing by the bed, Ellie quietly watched him.
Thinking back, when he did push–ups, she would squat next to him with a water cup, cheering him on and counting. Just utterly childish.

Seeing him do a few hundred push–ups in one go, Ellie turned to leave, thinking, “He is built like an ox, yet still gets angry so
