Chapter 512
Everyone’s eyes locked onto Ellie. Ellie looked down, standing silently. After a moment, she replied softly, “I won’t see him again.”
With Ellie’s clear answer, Nancy broke down. “Ellie, do you really feel nothing for Alex?”
Ellie spoke quictly but firmly, “If hatred counts, then yes. I hope that in this lifetime, we never meet again.”
Nancy paused, trying to hold back her tears. “I know you’ve been through a lot, and I don’t blame you.” Nancy stared at Ellie and waited for over a minute but still didn’t hear any more words from Ellic.
In silence, Nancy finally left the Thompson residence. Throughout all of this, Todd remained by his wife’s side without saying a word. The other members of the Thompson family were quiet too.
Once Alex’s parents were gone, Ellie went upstairs. Aaron, feeling uneasy, decided to follow her.
Through the slightly open door of her room, Aaron heard soft sobs. He raised his hand to knock and then entered. “Everything will pass,” Aaron said gently.
Yet he understood that whether Alex was there or not, his name would always be deep in Ellie’s heart. After living under the same roof for more than ten years, Alex and Ellie knew each other well.
Their complicated love and hatred spanned many years; they had given themselves completely to each other. Now, Alex was locked up for Ellie, having escaped, with his future uncertain, while Ellie was pregnant with Alex’s child.
Such deep feelings of love and hate were forever stamped into their souls. Alex’s obsession made it hard for him to let go, and Ellie found it hard to forget him.
“Aaron, I can’t take this any longer; I can’t get over this.” Ellie cried openly in Aaron’s embrace.
For several days, Ellie sank into despair. Within the family, they avoided talking about Alex.
During this time, Diana called her almost daily to chat, and Nalani visited from time to time to try to cheer her up, but Ellie still couldn’t find her way back to happiness.
It was only when Lacey told her that the Warren family had hired Joseph from Yorksure to provide treatment for Alex, which resulted in Alex’s condition stabilizing, that Ellie finally reacted.
She recognized that guy. When she had suffered from amnesia, Alex had taken her to see Joseph for treatment in Yorksure. If Alex was stable now, it meant that Joseph had successfully erased her from Alex’s memories.
Even if they happened to meet again in the future, he wouldn’t remember her. This outcome was actually quite pleasing.
No matter how beautiful their first moments together were, how precious their past was, or how unforgettable their love- hate relationship had become, they would ultimately remain strangers from now on.
After Lacey left, Ellie finally came down the stairs. She spoke with her family, stating firmly, “I’ve made up my mind–I will have the baby abroad.”
Everyone knew that to save Alex in the past, she could no longer have children. Even when Alex escaped last time and damaged a maternity supply store, his parents thought it was just an obsession with Ellie.
Now, in Alex’s mind, she no longer existed. He could change in prison, and she could safely bring the child into the world. This time, she would live only for herself.
