Alex lax sidewise on the edge of the bed, his torso will exposed, a bandage wrapped around his waist. The pain was evident as beads of sweat formed on his forehead
His eyes burned with fury as he glared at Ellie, gasping for breath. “This wound was for Aaron. Could you at least be a little gentler he muttered,
“Don’t let the wound get wet
et until the sunches are out Ellie replied calmly, picking up the medical kit and stepping out of Alex’s room.
Inside the room, Ales remained propped on the bed, his eyes glued in Ellie’s retreating figure, unable to look away for a long time.
By Monday morning, nearing eleven o’clock, outside the courthouse, Aaron had just stepped out the front entrance with a colleague when he noticed Haley walking toward him from a distance.
He nodded at his colleague before they parted ways, heading for the side entrance of the courthouse, where a small strip of greenery lay
Haley, her eyes red from crying, nished to ham and, without warning, grabbed Aaron by his shirt collar, her voice trembling with anger. “Aaron, we’ve been together for so long, and I gave you my best years.
“How could you do this to me? Why did you have to send my brother to prison“”
Aaron furrowed his brow, forcibly pushing her away to put some distance between them

and his eyes, once filled with affection, now held
He watched as Haley fell apart in front of him, her tears flowing freely. His expression was nothing but indifference
“Haley,” he said flatly, everyone’s youth is their best one. If it weren’t for love, who would gamble their youth on an uncertain future! The way we ended was anything but pretty. I’ve been as civil as I can about this.”
Haley, her eyes swollen and red, stared at him
In the past, Aaron had been so gentle, always putting her first in everything. But now, he was distant, cold, someone she couldn’t even approach
Why hasn’t Alex been acting right lately?” she thought to herself, her chest tightening. And the necklace… I’ve been hiding it every day. She was on the edge of a complete breakdown.
She lunged at Aaron, her hands clawing at him like a madwoman. “This is all your fauli?”
“When wri

Aaron replied, his voice unwavering.” “No matter how much you stream, you and I are done. Please, have some self–respect.
“If it weren’t for the Owens family paying off the victims and getting that letter of forgiveness, Etlun wouldn’t have gomen off with just a life

“Some things, despite a lack of evidence, let you all slip through the cracks, but I still want to warn you. Watch your step. Aaron finished, turning on his heel and walking away.
“Aaron. I hate you! I will never forgive you for this!” Haley cried out, her mind unraveling, trying to chase after him. But Evelyn and other relatives quickly intervened, preventing her from pursuing him further.

“Aaron, even though Fihan’s case is closed, I still worry that the Owens family might try to retaliate against you.” Ellie said, her concern not abating
em that the case had ended.
The Owens family consisted of past Haley and Ethan. Although Ethan had avoided the death sentence with a life sentence, his future was effectively
The Owens family had always been ruthless, and now that they had been bested by Aaron, they weren’t likely to let it slide.
Aaron, however, seemed unbothered by the possibilny. “Don’t worry about them. They don’t have the resources or the energy to focus on me?
“Aaron, if it weren’t for Ms. Grant that night, things could’ve gone differently, Ellie said, shifting the subject. “When you have some free time, let’s invite Ms. Grant out for a meal”
Aaron frowned at the
e mention of Diana. He really didn’t want to think about her right now.
He looked as reluctant as if someone had a gun to his head, nodding slightly. “Okay”
Ellie grabbed two glasses and a bottle of beer. “Anyway, the victim’s family received compensation, and the bad guys got what they deserved. Aaron.
Late that night, nearing eleven o’clock, the lights in the living room of Warren Manor were still on.
The TV was playing, but there was no sound. Alex, dressed in pajamas, lay stiffly on the couch with a scowl, staring at the clock on the wall.
Hearing a noise outside, he immediately sprang up from the couch in refles
When he saw Ellie stumble through the door, clearly drunk, has facial muscles twitched in frustration.
He turned off the TV and walked toward her. Leaning in, he sniffed the air. “You’ve been drinking”
Ellie, still focused on changing into slippers, absentmindedly nodded, and then tried to push past Ales, heading upstairs
Seeing her go up. Alex turned off the lights downstairs and followed her up the stairs.
At the top of the stairs, seeing Ellie turn left toward her room. Allex snapped. “Ellie, have you lost your mind? Didn’t you see me waiting for you?
Ellie, holding onto the railing, turned her head to look at him. “What’s wrong!”
Alex grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from the railing, gritting his teeth. “Change my bandages.”
Ellie blinked as if realizing something
Shaking off Alex’s hand,
1, she pointed at his forehead with a serious expression. Tm a doctor. Trust me; skipping a few days won’t kill you
With that Ellic turned and walked toward her room.
Behind her, Alex stood, his face turning an even darker shade of fury.
But as he saw how drunk Ellie was, he quietly followed her to her room
Alex blocked her from entering and cautiously asked. “When you told me you gave Haley a necklace, was that true?”
Ellie, still tipay, gripped the doorknob, nodding honestly. “Yes”
Upon seeing her answer without hesitation, Alex’s heart nearly skipped a beat.
His hands shook slightly as he gripped both of her shoulders, his eyes bloodshot as he locked onto her face.

Ellar, on the other hand, felt a sense of relief
Ethan had been sentenced to life in prison, and now Haley was fighting with Alex over a breakup. Alex would have to be handled with care.

“Expand

About twenty minutes later, at the Owens residence, Haley received a call from Alex and rushed out the front door, excitement evident on her face.
Before she could steady her footing. Alex quickly called out, “Is the necklace I gave you on you?”
Hairy free for a moment, confused by his sudden question.
Not understanding Alex’s intent. Haley hurriedly explained. “That necklace is 100 precious to me. I didn’t dare weari
