“Ellie!” Lacey trotted in, followed by Mark. “That jerk Alex deserves to die! Not only did he cheat on you with another woman, but he also hurt you and your son. What a bastard!”
Lacey stopped in her tracks when she realized that Alex’s parents were standing in the ward. She let out two awkward laughs. Lacey looked at Mark for help. Mark smiled indulgently, pulled Lacey to his side, and greeted everyone one by one.
“It’s my fault for not disciplining my child well. It has nothing to do with anyone else.” Ellie stated the facts objectively.
“Ellie, you must be very busy with work. I’m free at home anyway. Let me take care of the child for you. Just treat it as atonement for my son,” Nancy said. Ellie immediately refused, “No need. I can do it.”
Nancy wanted to say something else, but Joanna said, “I’m also free at home. I’ll take care of the child. Please don’t bother, Mrs. Warren.”
“Joanna,” Nancy said helplessly, looking at her husband. Todd sighed and patted his wife’s shoulder comfortingly. He thought, “There’s nothing we can do if our son doesn’t want to improve.‘
Lacey screamed in the ward, knocked on the floor by something. As she struggled to get up, she suddenly felt a hand, which made her scream again.
“Lacey,” Mark said as he helped her up and stepped back to the end of the bed. Everyone gathered around and saw two long legs sticking out from under the curtain.
Whitney and Joanna exchanged glances, then looked at Ellie, who pursed her lips awkwardly without speaking. She almost forgot that there was someone else in her ward.
Nancy took a closer look at the two legs and found them familiar. She pulled her husband closer, opened the curtain, and they both shut their mouths.
Lacey exclaimed, patting her chest. “Such a big guy lying here quietly, I thought he was dead.”
Lacey’s words startled Alex’s parents. They quickly crouched down and checked their son’s breathing.
Lacey’s scream woke Aaron from his sound sleep. Seeing her son awake, Ellie hurried to the bedside.
“Ellie, why is he here?” Whitney asked with a frown, remembering the video she saw last night.
“He drank too much and probably went to the wrong ward,” Ellie said indifferently, holding her son and sitting on the edge of the bed.
Lacey asked, “So you just let him lie on the ground all night?”
Alex’s parents glanced at each other but remained silent.
Mark walked to the door and called in two medical staff from the hallway to take Alex for a checkup. Just as they lifted him onto the gurney, Alex woke up.
Rubbing his throbbing temples, Alex forced himself to sit up. He looked around the ward and his eyes fell on Ellie. “Why am I here?”
“You were drunk and went to the wrong ward.” Ellie carefully checked her son’s injured hand without looking at hi
Alex looked at the other people in the ward and walked over to his parents. “Mom, Dad, why are you here too?” Furious, Todd turned and left. After greeting everyone, Nancy also left.
“I’ll go get my grandson something to eat.” Joanna left the ward with a sullen face.

“I’ll go with you.” Whitney glared at Alex and left with Joanna.
Alex stood in the ward, feeling guilty. He kept sneaking glances at Ellie.

“You’re sober now. Why are you still here if you’re not leaving?” Lacey came over to Alex and stood on a chair to talk to him. “Before, you hurt Ellie so badly for that bitch, Haley. Now it’s for-”
“Lacey,” Ellie panicked and stopped her. Lacey realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Mark picked Lacey up from the chair and carried her away.
