Alex sat up straight and fixed Layton with a piercing look, making him nervous instinctively. “Tell me, while I was locked up for five years, did anything happen at my house?”
“No,” Layton insisted, though his eyes darted away from Alex.
Alex frowned. “I’ve always had this odd feeling that something is off since I got back, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.”
Layton avoided eye contact, ruffling his hair as his discomfort grew evident. He recalled Alex’s escape and subsequent recapture, as well as the moment when Alex had nearly been shot dead.
To save Alex. Nancy had schemed with her husband to erase every memory of Ellie from Alex’s mind.
Alex’s parents had visited many prominent families, issuing stric warnings: Anyone who reveals Alex’s past with Ellie would find themselves at odds with the Warren family, and all the branches of the Warren would unite against them in the business. world.
Nancy had declared that anyone who dared to say anything would confront her vengeful spirit. Even though Alex was locked up and the Warren Group faced problems, their status remained strong.
No one dared to provoke the Warrens
“Did Nancy throw away your shampoo just because it expired?” Layton asked after a long pause, trying to lighten the mood.
Changing the topic, Layton asked, “You’ve been back for over a week now; when are you planning to return to the company?”
“No rush; I need to move out first,” Alex replied, lighting a cigarete and putting it between his lips as he rubbed his ring finger.
Meanwhile, at the Thompson residence, Ellie had just settled her two children down for sleep. She came down the stairs where Whitney handed her a card.
Whitney said, “Ellie, aside from the expenses for myself and the kids, I’m sending you my entire salary, including my year end bonus.” Ellie was grateful as she accepted the card.
The reason Ellie had shares in Mark’s hospital was that Jason and Whitney had helped her financially,
She hadn’t paid back a single cent yet, and Whitney had arranged a nice apartment for her near an international kindergarten, making it easy for her to get to work and take her kids to school.
Whitney had been incredibly generous to Ellie and gently reminded her to keep the card. “We’re family; what’s mine is Jason’s, and what’s Jason’s is yours, too, Whitney said.
Aside from just being grateful, Ellie found it hard to adequately express her thanks to Whitney. Ever since she found herself in a tough spot and took a job at Whitney’s bar, Whitney had always been there for her.
Ever since Whitney had been Ellie’s family, she supported Ellie even more. While families don’t need to separate financial matters, Ellie couldn’t take Whitney’s kindness for granted.
She was determined to work hard to repay the help Jason and Whitney had given her. After all, they also had children and would grow old.
Since deciding to have her kids, Ellie had longed to protect her children from life’s difficulties, hoping to give them the best life possible.
Ellie didn’t need love, marriage, or a man. She had family, her own kids, her career, and close friends. She believed that as long as she worked hard enough, her life would keep getting better.

Late at night, Ellie was woken up by a sharp phone ring. It was a call from Jason, telling her to head to Bondie Private Hospital immediately to attend to a special patient.
Without wasting a second, Ellie rushed to Bondie Private Hospital as fast as she could.
