Although Ellie’s response had further solidified their relationship. Alex could clearly sense that she wasn’t completely opent
with him.
After Ellie changed his bandages, he let her return to her room to rest.
As soon as Ellie got back to her room, a message from Alex arrived.
In just a few words, Ellie could feel Alex’s tenderness through the screen.
She never expected that someone with such a bad temper could also have such a gentle side.
Ellie tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, feeling as if she were dreaming.
The boy in the white shirt who had protected her as she grew up had now become the most important man in her life. Alex. too, spent the night awake.
After Ellie left, he went to the study. The room was filled with smoke, and his dazed eyes were fixed on an old acrylic photo frame on the bookshelf.
It was a candid photo he had taken when Ellie was crying.
He remembered scaring her by saying that if she cried again, she wouldn’t be allowed to sleep in his bed.
As soon as he got stern, she stopped crying
Now, the girl who used to cry and miss home had become his beloved one in his life.
“Ellie, even if it costs me my life, I’ll keep you by my side forever Alex murmured to himself in the quiet study, caressing the young face in the photo.
“Ms. Thompson, Carlos has been discharged and is back, a servant woke Ellie up close to noon the next di
day.
She quickly got up, freshened up, and went downstairs. Alex was leaning against the wall in the hallway, waiting for her.
Their eyes met, and Alex reached out his hand.
Ellie obediently went over. Ignoring everyone around them, Ales took Ellie’s hand, his intense gaze locked on her expression.
Feeling embarrassed, Ellie tried to pull her hand back, but Alex held in tighter.
“Let’s go see Grandpa, came Alex’s gentle voice from above. Elli–nodded obediently.
Since she had taken this step and made her decision, she would own it.
Holding hands, they entered Carlos‘ room.
Although Alex hadn’t immediately told everyone about his current relationship with Ellie, his eyes and actions spoke volumes about their doseness,
Alex’s parents, upon seeing this, both changed their expressions
Affer chatting for a while, Carlos asked Alex to stay behind, while Ellie and Alex’s parents left the room.
“Ellie, you and Alex, you… In the hallway, Nancy stopped Ellie.

Ellie took a deep breath and answered seriously, “Mrs. Warren, Alex and I are together.”
Alex’s parents were stunned for a moment.
“What are you guys talking about?” Alex, emerging from Carlos room and seeing his parent’s stern expressions and Ellie talking, quickly limped over, ignoring the pain in his leg, and pued Ellie to his side.
“Come to my room later. We have some questions for you, Todd said. After their conversation, the couple returned to their
Toom.
“Alex?” Ellie frowned slightly.
The reaction of Alex’s parents was the same as that of her family at the Thompson residence, serious and heavy. She felt a Vague sense of unease in her heart.
In the hallway, Alex gently pulled Ellie into his arms.
He leaned down and whispered into her ear, “Don’t overthink it Leave everything to me.”
Grandpa wants to talk to you. Come out and have breakfast together when you’re done, he added.
Alex released Ellie and escorted her to the door of Carlos‘ room. A few minutes later, Alex entered his parents‘ room.
Crack! As soon as the door closed, Alex was slapped hard by his father. Alex covered his face, standing still without moving. Todd pointed at Alex, his face turning ashen with anger. “You took advantage of Ellie’s amnesia and used your grandfather’s illness as an excuse to bring her back, which is bad enough
“But you actually deceived her at a time like this. Do you have a death wish?”
Alex pressed his tongue against his cheek, tilting his neck and remaining silent.
Nancy clutched her chest and said, “Alex, I know you want to make it up to Ellie, but deceiving her like this will only make her hate you more when she regains her memory.”
The stubbornness in Alex’s eyes frightened his parents.
Nancy continued, “Alex, Ellie’s uncle Jason isn’t as amiable as he seems. Someone who has come this far by wading throught the blood of both enemies and allies is not someone you can provoke.
Faced with his parents‘ concerns, Alex finally spoke. “Dad, Mom, if I don’t do this, I’ll never have a chance in my life.
“Everyone of the Thompson family loves Ellie so much. It’s precisely because they care for her deeply that when she lost her memory, they chose to say nothing to spare her pain, giving me this opportunity.”
He added, “I’m being forced, but I love her. I want her. I want to be with her, and I will find a way to keep her by my side.”
“No matter what you say, you can’t stop me. No one can stop me Alex lost control of his emotions and left his parents‘
TOOM
Nancy, feeling weak, collapsed onto the bed and said, “Honey, our son has gone mad. If Ellie regains her memory, then
what.
“If I had known this good–for–nothing would go crazy like this, should have sent him to a mental institution when he was a kid, Todd fumed, holding onto the cabinet and bending over, gasping for breath.

“Alex, what happened to your face? At the entrance of the dining room, Ellie immediately noticed the clear finger marks or
Alex’s face.
Alex hightly touched his face with his fingertips and nonchalantly said, “Mom and Dad thought I was bullying you again, so Dad slapped me.”,
Ellie was speechless.
Alex’s parents were so angry with Alex that they didn’t come out for lunch. Sensing the off mood, Ellie didn’t eat much either.
After leaving the dining room, Ellie wheeled Alex out into the garden for a walk.
Looking at the brand–new wheelchair, Ellie couldn’t help but ask “Alex, why do you have a wheelchair in your room?”
Alex lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes.
This wheelchair was actually f
for Ellie’s father, Harold.
He had promised to deliver it personally as soon as it arrived.
Before he left, Harold, worried that Alex might get hungry on the way, had stuffed his pockets with some food.
But before Alex could deliver the wheelchair, Harold was killed in a car accident that very night.
When Alex finally realized his mistake and wanted to make amends, God cruelly pushed him away from Ellie once again.
If only he had been the one to die, Ellie wouldn’t have lost her beloved father.
If he had died, he wouldn’t be in so much pain.
At least then. Ellie would remember him, right?
But there were no what–ifs in this world,
1, only c
outcomes.
The morning sunlight in the garden was gentle. Ellie wheeled Alex into the garden pavilion.
Alex, seated in the wheelchair, gently pulled Ellie to his side.
