“Alex, I have a stomachache.” More than ten minutes later, Ellie complained, tossing and turning in bed, her whole body soaked in sweat.

“I’ll give you a massage.” Alex was on the phone when he heard Ellie’s words. He quickly hung up the phone and rushed over.
The medicine Ellie took had side effects, and Alex had cruelly put two pills in her milk. Even if he took her to the hospital, the doctor couldn’t do anything. She had to endure it.
Ellie lay on her side in bed, while Alex knelt behind her, bent over to gently massage her lower abdomen, his whole body tensed up.
“It still hurts,” Ellie said, not feeling any relief. On the contrary, the pain was getting worse.
Alex got up and put on some relaxing music. He knelt on the bed and held Ellie’s upper body, and then freed one hand to continue massaging her lower abdomen.
He whispered softly in her ear, “It might be a chill. Let me rub it for you. It will stop hurting soon.”
Ellie curled up and nodded obediently. More than ten minutes later, the pain made her cry out. “Alex, I need to go to the hospital. I can’t take it anymore. It hurts so much!”
Overcome with pain, Ellie lost her mind and pushed Alex away, rolling on the bed. Alex was heartbroken and completely terrified.
Dave said that the perception of pain varied from person to person, but it usually stayed within the range that people could bear. Alex didn’t expect that Ellie would be in so much pain.
He rushed to the closet, took out some clothes for Ellie, and quickly helped her put them on. “Hold on, Ellie. I’ll take you to the hospital now!”
“Ellie!” Alex hadn’t even had time to put on all the clothes for her when she fainted from the pain.
Alex dropped to his knees on the bed and held Ellie tightly in his arms. His suppressed emotions suddenly erupted. The veins on his neck and arms bulged, and his eyes turned red with fear.
The whimpering sound from his throat, the tears streaming down his face, and his trembling voice, he repeated “I’m sorry!” over and over again.
Ellie woke up and found herself in Alex’s arms. And they were now on a plane.
“Awake?” Alex’s voice was hoarse. He carefully helped Ellie sit up. Are you still feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Ellie instinctively touched her lower abdomen and then shook her head. “Alex, did you stay up with me all night taking care of me?” Noticing the tiredness in Alex’s eyes, Ellie reached out to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows.
“You probably caught a chill last night. You’re fine now.” Alex’s eyes were evasive as he lowered Ellie’s hand from his forehead.
Hearing Barry say that the plane would land in more than ten minutes, Alex’s nervousness was obvious. He held Ellie’s hand, and his palms were sweating. He said, “Ellie, when you get back to the Thompson residence, remember to answer my calls every day.”
Seeing Ellie nod obediently, Alex said again, “We need to meet. Don’t turn me down. Remember our promise. Grandpa and

I are waiting for you at home. Remember to come back.”
Ellie felt Alex’s unease again. She hugged him and comforted him, “Alex, don’t be like this. Once my mom recovers, come back.”
I’ll
“Ellie, I can’t live without you. You can’t leave me!” Alex held Ellie tightly and was reluctant to let her go for a long time.

It was past nine in the morning at the Warren family’s private airport. Aaron was wearing a uniform trouser and a white shirt, standing quietly beside the car waiting.
As the cabin door opened, Aaron stepped forward when he saw Alex leading Ellie out of the plane.
“Aaron!” Ellie shouted joyfully when she saw Aaron and let go of Alex’s hand, running towards Aaron.
Aaron immediately noticed the dazzling diamond ring on Ellie’s left hand. He quietly led her to the car and said, “Let’s get in / the car first.”
Ellie turned to look at Alex. Their eyes met, and she saw the worry in his. “Alex, you should go home and rest. I’ll call you later.”
With that, Ellie got into the car, and Aaron closed the door.
“Aaron, I’m sorry.” Alex faced Aaron, feeling only humble. That day, he was too impatient to take Ellie abroad and had a fight with Aaron. He just wanted to stop Aaron from going upstairs and didn’t dare to fight back.
Aaron’s gaze fell on the ring on Alex’s right ring finger. After a brief hesitation, Aaron said, “You know better than anyone that every minute and second you spend with Ellie now are illusory and false!
“Ellie will definitely remember everything. Even if you put the most precious diamond ring in the world on her finger, you can’t keep her, You know this better than anyone else!
“Wake up, Mr. Warren. Stop deceiving yourself!” Aaron said, turned around and got into the car, leaving.
Alex stood there, staring blankly as the car drove away from the airport.
Barry opened the car door, and Alex got in. He leaned his whole body against the seat and closed his eyes to hide all his emotions.
Aaron was right. Every minute and second of happiness Alex had with Ellie now was stolen by him. It couldn’t be seen in the light.
Once Ellie regained her memory, let alone that small diamond ring, even if Alex gave her everything he had, she wouldn’t even give it a second look.
Alex didn’t say anything, and the driver didn’t dare to start the car without permission. Barry asked, “Mr. Warren, should we go to the office first or…?”
Alex replied, “Back to the Warren Manor.”
Near noon, Ellie finally returned to the Thompson residence. “Mom, does it really not hurt anymore?” In Joanna’s room, Ellie checked Joanna’s injury as soon as she got back. Making sure it was just a sprained waist, Ellie felt relieved.
“Mom, I told Alex that I won’t go back to the Warren Manor for now. I’ll take care of you until you get better, and then I’ll go back to accompany Carlos,” Ellie said as she sat by Joanna’s bedside and held her hand.

Joanna lay on the bed, and her gaze fell on the diamond ring on Ellie’s left hand. She didn’t say anything but looked up at Aaron.
Aaron stood at the foot of the bed and hesitated for a moment before asking Ellie, “Ellie, did he propose to you?”
+13)
When Aaron mentioned it, Ellie remembered the important thing she wanted to tell everyone. She stood up, raised her left hand, and showed the diamond ring on her finger to them.
With a serious expression and firm eyes, Ellie said, “Mom, Aaron Alex proposed to me, and I agreed!”
Aaron’s expression was complicated as he exchanged a look with Joanna. Joanna opened her mouth but in the end didn’t say anything.
When Ellie saw Aaron and Joanna suddenly become silent, her smile froze. When she spoke again, her tone was obviously cautious.
Ellie said, “Mom, Aaron, I know you don’t have a good opinion of him, but trust my judgment. He’s not as bad as you all think. I hope you can accept him.”
Aaron spoke sternly, “We’ve already agreed to let you date him. How could you agree to his proposal so quickly?!”
Feeling guilty, Ellie lowered her head and said, “Aaron, I really like him!”
Aaron looked at his only sister and couldn’t say a word. Ellie was currently in a state of amnesia. Facing a man she had secretly liked for seven years and who had pursued her with both calculation and passion, it was understandable that she had fallen for him.
Just then, Ellie’s phone received a text message.
Joanna noticed the smile on Ellie’s lips and finally said, “Is it him”
Ellie quickly nodded and said, “Mom, Alex said he wants to come and see you.”
“Let him come. I have something to ask him,” Joanna said with an unusually calm tone.
It hadn’t been an hour since Ellie sent a message to Alex when he arrived.
