Are you looking for me?” No sooner had Patrick spoken than Quinlee approached in high heels.
“What’s going on? What are you all doing here in the middle of the night?” Quinlee looked innocently at everyone and pointed to the emergency room door. “Is someone sick?”
“You dare show up?” Steven pointed angrily at Quinlee, only to be stopped by Tim.
“Why I’m here, Dr. Thompson knows best.” Quinlee turned her gaze to Ellie. “Right, Dr. Thompson?”
She thought, “Thankfully, I returned just in time. If I had stayed any longer at that bar and the Grant family found me, no amount of excuses would have cleared my name.
It’s a pity though. If Aaron hadn’t arrived so quickly, Diana would have died in that stinking alley at the hands of those thugs.
Ellie stood still, showing no emotion as she looked at the suddenly appeared Quinlee. The two exchanged a long look; Quinlee’s eyes were filled with undisguised glee and provocation.
With Diana’s fate uncertain, Quinlee wouldn’t admit anything based on just one person’s word.
Now Quinlee wanted to accomplish two things with one move–she wanted Ellie to state that Quinlee was at the hospital this whole time, taking care of Orion from the Warren family.
This way, not only would it indirectly prove her innocence regarding Diana’s incident, but it would also let everyone know that Orion was in the hospital too.
“Ms. Janssen must be joking. How would I know why you’re here in the middle of the night? I’m not a mind reader,” Ellie said as she walked up to Quinlee, looking just as innocent.
Seeing that Ellie didn’t take the bait and others started doubting her again, Quinlee cursed inwardly.
“Dr. Thompson, you’re my boyfriend’s attending physician. How could you slander me like this?” Quinlee deliberately spoke loudly so everyone could hear.
Winnie, standing a short distance away, observed Quinlee for a moment before approaching. “Your boyfriend?”
“Yes, Winnie, my boyfriend is injured and hospitalized. Today is Thanksgiving. I went out to buy some things to celebrate with him.
“When I passed by here and heard you talking about me, I came over. Winnie, what exactly happened?” Quinlee said nonchalantly and without a trace of guilt.
She thought, ‘I already sent the data out. Now I just need to make sure Alex’s parents and everyone else know that I saved Orion and have been diligently taking care of him in the hospital.
“That way, I can revive my engagement with him and become the Warren family’s member. Once I establish myself at Jaslands, Ellie and Alex will pay the price.’
Winnie was skeptical. “Take me to see him.”
Quinlee’s lips curled into a triumphant smile as she pointed at Ellie. “Winnie, that depends on whether Dr. Thompson agrees.”
Liam, eager to prove whether Quinlee was lying, pointed at her insistently. “You take my Winnie to see your boyfriend. What does that have to do with Dr. Thompson?”

“It has everything to do with Dr. Thompson, Quinlee replied with feigned helplessness. “Dr. Thompson is my boyfriend’s attending physician. I can’t stay in my boyfriend’s room without her approval
Ellie shot Quinlee a warning look. “You are an adult, your words must bear legal responsibility
She thought to herself, “Though Orion’s mission is complete, his facial injuries haven’t fully healed, and his vision hasn’t returned yet.
If those people discover the data on the USB drive is fake, Orion will be re–exposed and become a target for those dangerous individuals.
‘Quinlee, that fool, is desperate to use Orion to get into the Warren family without caring for his safety at all
“If you don’t believe me, ask Mr. Warren. He knows my boyfriend too, Quinlee said just as the elevator door opened and Alex stepped out.
