Chapter 104
Late at night, the master bedroom on the second floor of the Warren Manor.
After the family doctor left, Alex lay unconscious on the bed.
Ellie stood quietly by the bedside, watching the ECC and blood pressure monitor on the bedside table.
He had a big temper, and his temperament matched. Just a few words and he fainted from anger.
If she kept this up, who knew, maybe one day he would get so angry and he’d become paralyzed on one side.
Todd’s face was dark with anger. “What a nerve! If no one else is angry enough to collapse, he beats them to it by fainting first!”
Evan hesitated before advising, “Mr. and Mrs. Warren, you know Mr. Alex Warren has been temperamental since he was
young
“Ms. Thompson has moved back home, so if Mr. Alex Warren is against her calling him brother, let’s just go along with it for now. It’s not worth making him get upset and harming his health
Nancy exchanged a glance with her husband, both casting a look of disdain at Alex lying in bed. before focusing their gaze
on Ellie
“It’s just a name, really. If Alex doesn’t want me to call you that, then I won’t. Ellie said, sparing Alex’s parents

Even though the elders of the Warren family liked her a lot, she still wasn’t their biological child. They couldn’t abandon their only real son for a foster daughter.
“Ellie, we’re so sorry you had to endure this Nancy stood by Ale’s bedside holding Ellie’s hand and said. “You have work tomorrow, and you should get some rest.
Ellie returned to her room to rest. Although the welcome home party didn’t proceed, she was still living with the Warren family.
Recently, Haley seemed to have calmed down a lot and hadn’t bothered her.
Besides Alex having a breakdown tonight and fainting after they exchanged a few sharp words, everything else was fine.
With the Warren family elders around, Haley didn’t dare cause gouble, and Alex’s wildness was subdued by his grandparents and parents, making Ellie’s life much calmer,
The next morning, as Ellie went downstairs, she overheard Alex parents discussing with the family doctor whether they should take Alex to the hospital.
Last night, after leaving his room, she had checked the heart rate and blood pressure monitor
Everything was normal, from heart rate to breathing and blood pressure, including blood oxygen levels, so he shouldn’t have been unconscious for so long.
Thinking abou–Alex’s stubbornness, Ellie chose to ignore it. A bit more peace and quiet at home wouldn’t be bad.
“If he’s not in any real danger, let him stay here. No need to embarrass me at the hospital Todd said as he walked towards

the dining room.
Ellie had breakfast with Alex’s parents and was about to go to work when Haley burst into the living room, ignoring the butler and maids trying to stop her.

Standing at the dining room entrance. Ellic exchanged a glance with Haley, her expression calm before she looked away.
Haley noticed that Ellie and Nancy were wearing the same slippers as they left the dining room with Alex’s parents, and she suppressed a surge of jealousy. “Mr. and Mrs. Warren, she greeted
Nancy’s face changed immediately when she saw Haley, and she asked Evan. “Who let her in!”
Evan respectfully stepped forward “Mrs. Warren, the staff were cleaning at the entrance and couldn’t stop her.”
Haley said. “Please don’t get angry, Mrs. Warren. I haven’t been able to get in touch with Alex: his phone isn’t connecting, and I’m really worried about him, so I came to check
Before coming, Haley had already mentally prepared herself for what might happen.
She knew the elders of the Warren family didn’t welcome her. She just came to see if Alex had returned to the Warren
manor
rry about him?
Naney said, “What are you to my son anyway? Does he really need you to worry
Haley said, “Mrs. Warren, I know you don’t like me, but Alex and are engaged. We love each other, so why are you trying to break us up?“.
“My son’s fiancée is Diana. Who do you think you are? Nancy pointed at the door with disdain. “Get out now, or I’ll have to throw you out myself!”
Just then, Haley saw the Warren family’s doctor coming down from the second floor and eagerly asked, “Did something happen to Alex?
Haley was about to l head toward the staircase when Evan and his eam stopped her
Seeing Nancy about to slap her, Haley glanced at Ellie, held back her feelings, and turned to leave.
After Haley left. Ellie changed her clothes and went to work.
Everyone thought Haley had left, but she was still lingering at the entrance of the Warren Manor.
When Haley saw Ellie coming out of the Warren Manor, she quickly approached and, unusually humble, tried to take Ellie’s hand. “Ellie, what’s really going on with Alex!”
Haley noticed that Ellie wasn’t going to acknowledge her, so she Hepped forward again.
Haley noticed that Ellie wasn’t going to acknowledge her, so she tepped forward again.
She said, “Ellic, I realize I’ve done a lot of wrong things in the past. I’m sorry. I was wrong. I’m Alex’s fiancée, and you’re her sister. From now on, we’re family, Let’s get along well.”
Haley, the issues between us can’t be resolved with just an apology. I’ll never forgive your Ellie’s gaze was cold, her words filled with sarcasın.
Haley didn’t expect Ellie to be so unyielding. Her expression changed immediately. “Ellie, why have you changed like this?

You weren’t like this before!”
Ellie gave Haley a look before getting into the car and leaving
People always said she had changed, but no one ever asked what he had gone through.

She endured those painful and unbearable days all by herself. Only she knew how much it hurt and how deeply she was wounded.
She could let go of the past and stop dwelling on it, but that didnt mean she forgave
During lunch break, Ellie invited Aaron to lunch, and they happened to run into Mark.
The three of them were in a small diner near the hospital. Ellie awkwardly handed Mark a napkin. “Mark, why don’t we find another place?
She had never known that Mark was one of the sons of the Grand family, one of the four big families in Jaslands
It was really a bit much for him to join her for lunch at this small hole–in–the–wall place.
Mark glanced at Aaron, “What’s so strange about it? If Mr. Thompson can eat here, then I can too. Aaron just smiled without saying anything.
A plate of crawlish was brought over, and before Ellie could reach out, both Aaron and Mark put on disposable gloves at the same moment. Both of them put the peeled crawfish on Ellie’s plate.
Ellie looked down at the shrimp on her plate, then at the two of them, and they all shared a smile,
“Girls should eat more: being a bit plump is cute” Mark said, peeling a few more shrimp for Ellie
Ellie stared at the shrimp on her plate, feeling both happy and a bit uneasy
Living with the Warren family for over ten years, tasks like peeling shrimp and crab were always done by the servants. If the servants weren’t around, she would do it herself.
She was always the one peeling shrimp for Alex: he was used to and so was she
During the meal, a whole plate of shrimp was peeled, half each by Aaron and Mark, most of which was given to Ellie.
Aaron didn’t ask Ellie about her recent life with the Warren family, nor did Mark ask about what happened at the welcome home party that day.
Returning to the Warren Manor after work, Nancy called out to Ellie at the staircase, ‘Ellie, go check on that little rascal later. and see if you can poke him awake with a needle. Make sure he hasn’t really dozed off for good.”
Hearing that Alex hadn’t woken up yet, Ellie couldn’t help but frown. Ellie chatted with Nancy for a bit before heading upstairs.
Ellie went back to her room, fook a shower, changed clothes, and then studied to prepare for exams. She was busy until ten o’clock when she finally finished.
Before going to bed, Ellic remembered what Nancy had reminded her about, so she gathered her things to go and check.
Remembering how Alex had gone crazy last night, even biting her and almost pulling her skirt up to her waist, Ellie turned. and changed into long pants and a long–sleeved shirt in the clos
