Crack! As soon as the door closed, Alex was slapped hard by his father. Alex covered his face, standing still without moving.
Todd pointed at Alex, his face turning ashen with anger. “You took advantage of Ellie’s amnesia and used your grandfather’s illness as an excuse to bring her back, which is bad enough.
“But you actually deceived her at a time like this. Do you have a death wish?”
Alex pressed his tongue against his cheek, tilting his neck and remaining silent.
Nancy clutched her chest and said, “Alex, I know you want to make it up to Ellie, but deceiving her like this will only make her hate you more when she regains her memory.”
The stubbornness in Alex’s eyes frightened his parents.
Nancy continued, “Alex, Ellie’s uncle Jason isn’t as amiable as he seems: Someone who has come this far by wading through the blood of both enemies and allies is not someone you can provoke.”
Faced with his parents‘ concerns, Alex finally spoke. “Dad, Mom, if I don’t do this, I’ll never have a chance in my life. “Everyone of the Thompson family loves Ellie so much. It’s precisely because they care for her deeply that when she lost her memory, they chose to say nothing to spare her pain, giving me this opportunity.”
He added, “I’m being forced, but I love her. I want her. I want to be with her, and I will find a way to keep her by my side.”
“No matter what you say, you can’t stop me. No one can stop me! Alex lost control of his emotions and left his parents‘
room.
Nancy, feeling weak, collapsed onto the bed and said, “Honey, our son has gone mad. If Ellie regains her memory, then
what…”
“If I had known this good–for–nothing would go crazy like this, I should have sent him to a mental institution when he was a kid,” Todd fumed, holding onto the cabinet and bending over, gasping for breath.
“Alex, what happened to your face?” At the entrance of the dining room, Ellie immediately noticed the clear finger marks on Alex’s face.
Alex lightly touched his face with his fingertips and nonchalantly said, “Mom and Dad thought I was bullying you again, so Dad slapped me.”
Ellie was speechless.
Alex’s parents were so angry with Alex that they didn’t come out for lunch. Sensing the off mood, Elite didn’t eat much
either.
After leaving the dining room, Ellie wheeled Alex out into the garden for a walk.
Looking at the brand–new wheelchair, Ellie couldn’t help but ask “Alex, why do you have a wheelchair in your room?”
Alex lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes.
This wheelchair was actually for Ellie’s father,
arold.
He had promised to deliver it personally as soon as it arrived.

Before he left, Harold, worried that Alex might get hungry on the way, had stuffed his pockets with some food.
But before Alex could deliver the wheelchair, Harold was killed in a car accident that very night.

When Alex finally realized his mistake and wanted to make amends, God cruelly pushed him away from Ellie once again.
If only he had been the one to die, Ellie wouldn’t have lost her beloved father.
If he had died, he wouldn’t be in so much pain.
At least then, Ellie would remember him, right?
But there were no what–ifs in this world, only outcomes.
The morning sunlight in the garden was gentle. Ellie wheeled Alex into the garden pavilion.
Alex, seated in the wheelchair, gently pulled Ellie to his side.
He leaned forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and rested his face on her flat stomach, holding her carefully and tightly.
“Ellie, once my leg heals, let’s go abroad,” he said.
