Ellie and Nancy turned back to the living room. Ellie sat beside Nancy to avoid Alex.

Ellie wanted to get up, but seeing that the guest had already entered, she could only temporarily endure it.
“Nancy, Alex. Ms. Thompson, Quinlee greeted everyone calmly her eyes involuntarily falling on Alex.
However, Alex was focused on Ellic. his fingers intertwined with hers, not even bothering to look up.
Seeing Ellie sitting between Nancy and Alex, looking very much like the mistress of the house, made Quinlee insanely jealous. Yet, her smile only grew warmer.
As Ellie’s eyes met Quinlee’s, she felt an unexplainable discomfort in her heart.
“Ms Janssen, what urgent matter brings you here so late at night As soon as Nancy saw Quinlee, she thought of Orion who had passed away years ago, her heart ached, and her face naturally darkened.
In the face of Nancy’s coldness, Quinlee responded with a smile Nancy, I heard from Ms. Grant that Carlos had been discharged from the hospital. I’m here to tell you that Mr. Griffith, who specializes in pancreatic cancer, has arrived in Jaslands.
You know Mr. Griffith?” Nancy asked excitedly, standing up from her seat upon hearing the news.
Quinlee glanced at Alex discreetly and stood up as well. “Mr. Grifith is a classmate’s father. Coincidentally, I’m very good friends with this classmate, so I got the news in advance.
“But Mr. Griffith is a reclusive and eccentric person. We visited him twice without success. Do you have a way?” Nancy asked.
“My classmate told me that Mr. Griffith often goes to the Go club to find people to play with. If someone knows how to play Go, they should be able to approach Mr. Griffith, Quinlee said.
“I’ll go,” Ellie, who had been silent, spoke up decisively. As a medical student, she knew better than anyone that there was currently no successful cure for pancreatic cancer, but it was possible to prolong the patient’s life.
Carlos had personally taught her how to play Go before. Although she was not a master, she at least had the opportunity to get close to Mr. Griffith.
“Then Ms. Thompson, wait for my news. I’ll let you know when Mr. Griffith goes to the Go Club again.” A triumphant glint flashed across Quinler’s eyes.
She had known for a long time that Carlos had been teaching Elle to play Go for many years. Now that Carlos was dying and Ellie had lost her memory and had no more barriers with Alex, she
would not give up any hope.
Nancy and Ellie walked Quilee to the door before returning.
Nancy took Ellie’s hand and returned to the living room. “Todd and I visited several times, but we didn’t see Mr. Griffith Now that Quinder is willing to help, we must try our best. It’s wugh it if Carlos can live a little longer”
Alex sat in the living room, watching his mother pull Ellie towards the stairs. He propped himself up on one leg and shouted at Elle Ellie, come back and help me
Elbe looked back at Alex, but Nanty pulled her away Leave him alone. Let him hop around it he wants.”

Although Nancy said so, after Ellie went upstairs, Ellie still came to change Alex’s medication.
Alex sat on the bed with his legs stretched out, staring at Ellie with a sullen face as she entered. Ellie calmly opened the medicine box.
Alex didn’t speak and Ellie was happy to keep quiet. She sat on the edge of the bed and began to remove the bandage from
Alex’s calf
The room fell into a long silence.
Alex watched as Ellie skillfully re–bandaged his leg. As Ellie was about to leave, his gaze sharpened. He suddenly grabbed Ellie’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. Before Ellie could struggle, he flipped her over and pressed her beneath him.
As soon as he touched her, he couldn’t help but want to get closer. In this ambiguous position, he whispered in her “Don’t go. Talk to me.”
“Let go of me. Grandpa’s still waiting for me downstairs.” Ellie turned her head, dodging Alex’s scorching breath.
car.
“I just asked. Grandpa’s not awake yet. Stay and talk with me for a while.” Alex’s lips grazed Ellie’s neck. His low voice held a hint of gentleness and a trace of seduction. “Stay the night. L…”
Before Alex could finish his sentence, a loud “thud came from the door. Ellie seized the opportunity to roll out of bed.
Barry stood frozen in the hallway, clutching his bruised head against the wall, not daring to breathe.
Seeing Ellie leave, Barry steeled himself and entered the room.
Looking at Alex’s murderous gaze, Barry quickly lowered his head.
Alex gritted his teeth and said, “Go ahead.”
“You were right, Mr. Warren. The guy you punched in the bar was Mr. Griffith’s son,” said Barry.
Alex stared at Barry and kept silent.
“We received confirmation from Yorksure that Haley is indeed deceased. And the third paternity test we ran on Quinlee came back. Quinlee’s the Janssen family’s second daughter and former classmate of Mr. Griffith’s daughter. She didn’t lie, said Barry.
Alex waved his hand impatiently and Barry quickly left the room
Early the next morning, Alex hopped around for a long time budidn’t see Ellie.
Seeing Alex standing on the stairs, Evan hurried over to help him. “Mr. Warren, please stop looking. Ms. Thompson went to learn medicine:
Alex stood on one leg at the top of the stairs, his hands resting of the railing. He frowned and thought for a long time. “Why on earth would she learn that?” he murmured.
Alex went back to his foom and sent a message to Ellie but Ellie didn’t reply. Then he hopped downstairs again.
“Aren’t you tired?” Nancy frowned, annoyed at seeing Alex hopping around the living room. “Ellie is back. Co wash your hands and get ready to eat.”
Hearing Nancy say that Ellie was back, Alex hopped to the door

As soon as Ellie entered the door, she saw Alex standing by the shoe cabinet.
The two looked at each other.
Alex said with an unhappy face, “Why didn’t you reply to my message?”
Ellie bent down to change her slippers and answered, “I didn’t see it.”
“Cut the crap.” Alex retorted, “You can see my mom’s messages, but not mine? Your eyes have an automatic filter?”
Ellie broke free from Alex and headed for the bathroom.
Alex bounced after Ellie and kept asking. “Seriously, why are you learning medicine?”
Ellie pursed her lips, not daring to make a sound.
Ellie washed her hands as Alex leaned against the bathroom door and asked, “I’m talking to you. Cat got your tongue?”
Ellie walked out of the bathroom in silence and headed for the dining room.
Alex bounced after Ellie and said, “Ellie, if you dare not reply to my messages again, L…”
Ellie stopped and turned around.
“Let’s go for dinner. Alex rubbed his nose and hopped towards the dining room.
