Chapter 534
Just as Ellie was about to ask further questions about Haley, Jason’s gaze silenced her, With Jason present, Orion seemed less resistant. Suppressing her curiosity, Ellie gained a rough understanding of Orion’s current condition alongside Mark.
His external injuries were mainly blindness and severe facial disgurement. With a proper corneal transplant and enough time to recover, full rehabilitation was possible.
But the most pressing issue was his severe post–traumatic stress disorder, which, if not addressed, could affect him for life.
The three of them stayed awake through the night, and as Ellie and Mark left the room, dawn was beginning to break.
“You should go home and rest; come back later so we can talk about the treatment plan,” Mark suggested as Ellie finished the confidentiality agreement in the director’s office.
About ten minutes later, Ellie stepped out of the elevator. “Ellie, voice called from the hospital lobby; it was Quinlee. Stopping in her tracks, Ellie regarded Quinlee with a blank expression as she walked over.
A mere step separated the two women as their eyes locked. “I never expected to come back alive, did you, Ellie Quinlee said with a cryptic smirk on her lips.
Ellie replied fiercely. “Five years ago, I failed to cause your disappearance, and I will not let you slip away again, I’ll make sure everyone knows your true identity, and you will pay for what you have done.”
Quinlee stepped forward in her high heels, leaning in slightly as she lowered her voice. “Ellie, even if you turn the world upside down, I am still Orion’s fiancée, the second daughter of the wealthy Janssen family and the sister of Mrs. Grant
“My identity is beyond your scrutiny”
“Wait for your punishment,” Facing Quinlee’s provocation, Ellie shot back before leaving
Quinlee stayed behind, smiling as she watched Ellie depart. Haley was dead, and the Owens family had been completely wiped out; she was the daughter of the Janssen family, Orion’s fiancée.
Before achieving her goals, she decided not to engage Ellie in a foolish confrontation. She had to seize this opportunity to acquire what that person desired, thus becoming Mrs. Warren. Once everything was settled, she could deal with Ellie.
Before 7 a.m., Alex strolled out his apartment, followed by several employees from a furniture company. He instructed Barry, “I dislike having neighbors; get in touch with the owner and make an offer to buy the apartment next my door.”
As the elevator doors opened, Alex prepared to step inside, only to see Ellie coming out with two large bags. Alex paused. outside the elevator while Ellie stood still, and their eyes met, both clearly surprised by the encounter.
Unfazed by Alex’s scrutinizing gaze, Ellie emerged from the elevator. She had stopped by the new apartment after leaving- the hospital to drop off cleaning supplies, not expecting to see Alex there.
Glancing at the next door, she saw a middle–aged woman and a young man exiting, letting out a sigh of relief.
Although Alex had moved on from their past, their shared social circle still remained. With her two children and her new identity as Orion’s attending physician, it was inevitable that their paths would cross again.
If Alex lived there, she would prefer to rent elsewhere rather than move in.
Mr. Warren, should we buy the neighboring house before you move in?” Barry asked cautiously as they exited the elevator.
“A neighbor could actually be quite good. Alex replied, shifting his mindset from wanting to buy the property to suddenly seeing its benefits.

Barry thought to himself, The charm of the little widow is indeed formidable.
