Chapter 634
Alex walked over to the windowsill and picked up the lunchbox. He stood by the window, lost in thought, not moving for quite a while.
About ten minutes later. Linda knocked on Ellie’s office door and came in. “Dr. Thompson, you left this lunchbox on the windowsill,” she said, placing the lunchbox in front of Ellie.
“Linda, please deliver this to Orion,” Ellie said, handing the lunchbox to Linda.
Linda held the lunchbox and arrived at Orion’s hospital room door, handing it to Alex. “Mr. Warren, Dr. Thompson said…” Linda’s voice trailed off as she noticed Alex’s face slowly darkening, too scared to continue.
His gaze fell on the lunchbox Linda had brought back, an unclear look crossing Alex’s eyes. “Take it inside,” he said, and with that, Alex turned and left.

A few days later, the superstar Sebastian held a concert in Jaslands. Ellie wore a waist–cinching knee–length dress paired with a light–colored cashmere coat, her semi–long hair loosely around her face, giving off a relaxed yet intellectual vibe.
Ellie stood there with her playful daughter, perfectly portraying the image of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Diana had her long, styled hair tied up in a high ponytail, her outfit a mix of haute couture that added an air of aristocratic fierceness.
“Diana, has Aaron been busy lately?” Ellie couldn’t help but ask when she saw Diana.
Ever since Diana got out of the hospital, Ellie hadn’t seen Aaron anywhere. Diana leaned in close to Ellie’s ear and whispered, “I tricked Aaron into marrying me.”
Diana said, “I’ve made Aaron stay with me every day, and he’s too embarrassed to tell Mrs. Thompson,” she slyly added, “In a few days, I’ll talk to Mrs. Thompson and make Aaron officially move over.” Diana grinned mischievously.
Ellie stared at Diana. “Diana, give me a moment to wrap my head around this,” Ellie said, pulling Diana back to their seats while they waited for Lacey. Ellie patted her chest firmly, taking a while to calm down.
Ellie thought, ‘No wonder Aaron hadn’t been around lately; he is secretly living with Diana. He Makes big moves quietly!
Soon, Lacey came jogging over with a large bouquet in her arms, and in her other hand, she handed out several support light sticks to everyone.
Lacey, who usually wore casual hoodies, was dressed to the nines today. She wore a fitted off–the–shoulder cocktail dress with a coat draped over it. Her makeup was flawless. Her long hair was meticulously styled.
“Lacey, do you need to dress up
like this?” It was the first time Diana had seen Lacey dressed this way. She was both amazed and a little surprised. Even when Lacey got her marriage certificate with Diana’s brother, she didn’t dress like this.
“It’s necessary. I’m giving flowers to Sebastian later,” Lacey said, her eyes sparkling with excitement, perhaps thinking about
Ellie.
“Lacey, these flowers are so pretty. Can I have one?” Betty leaned in and pointed to the flowers in Lacey’s hand.
“Betty, if you want flowers, I will buy you some tomorrow, but I need this bouquet,” Lacey said, holding the flowers like they were a treasure, feeling thrilled.
“Ellie.” Diana suddenly nudged Ellie with her elbow.

Ellie followed Diana’s gaze and saw Alex and Carl being surrounded by a group of people as they walked over.
Alex dressed in a black casual suit made his tall and slender figure more noticeable. Alex’s impressive height and commanding presence made him stand out in the crowd.
