Chapter 300
“She’s right. I do know her boyfriend. He’s staying in the inpatient wing.” “Alex said, glancing at everyone before walking over to stand next to Ellie.
“See, Winnie? 1 wasn’t lying. Mr. Warren even confirmed it.” Quintee said slyly. “If Dr. Thompson and Mr. Warren agree, I’d be happy to take you to ser my boyfriend”
Ellie looked up at Alex, who in turn gave her a knowing glance.
“Diana’s fate is still uncertain. We’ll deal with this tomorrow” Winnie said, not rushing to see him since Alex confirmed knowing Quinler’s boyfriend
Fine. I’ll go back to the inpatient wing to take care of my boyfriend Quinler said smugly before entering the elevator as everyone else fell silent.
shortly after, news arrived that Diana was out of
a was out of danger and had been moved to a regular room.
“Bring me a change of clothes when you come to work tomorrow morning. I’ll leave once she wakes up.” Aaron said, deciding to stay in the room as Libe, noticing the blood covering him, prepared to head home to fetch him some clean clothes.
Til drive you. Alex offered as they exited the elevator together.
No need
- I drive myself, Ellie replied, hurrying toward her car.
She opened the car door, but Ales got in before her.
They locked rye, and Alex said out of nowhere, “You’re Orion’s attending physician. I need to ensure your safety.”
Ellie didn’t have time for a back–and–forth with Alex and let him sit in the passenger seat.
The ride was silent. Ellie didn’t ask why Alex spoke up for Quinler, and he didn’t explain.
Ellie made a quick trip to get the clothes and brought them to Diana’s room, only to receive a message from Linda saying that Quinlee had slipped out of the hospital
“No need to chase her, Alex said, stopping Ellie beside her car in the hospital parking lot.
Ellie pushed him away. “Do you even know where I’m going?”
Alex opened the car door and handed her breakfast.
So, when he said he was leaving, it was to get breakfast, she thought. Reluctantly, she accepted the breakfast and said. “Thanks”
“It’s for you and Aaron,” Alex added.
Ellie was speechless. She thought. There are several people in Diana’s room, and he only bought breakfast for two?
Nearby, Barry turned away discreetly. He had reminded Alex to buy more, but Alex had scolded him for not being frugal enough and said money should be spent wisely.
Seeing Ellie hesitate with the breakfast bag. Alex took out half of it. “Sit in my car and eat; I’ll bring this portion to Aaron
Ellie grabbed Alex by the arm. “Patrick already had the Grant Manor servants prepare breakfast”
“Perfect,” Alex said, opening the car door and ushering Ellie inside.
“You eat first. Whatever you don’t finish, I will,” he said, opening each container and handing her the cullery.
Alex’s gare seemed to say that not eating would be ungrateful.
Five years had passed, and Ellie could sense how much
Alex
had changed. He was more mature now and considerate of others.
Although lar still
moments of being strong–willed and difficul, most of the time, he had learned to be polite and respectful
Ton fine with just a c
a cup of milk,” Ellie said, taking the straw from line…
“After breakfau, I’ll take you somewliere, Alex said, testing the temperature of the milk before inserting the straw and handing it back to her.
Hearing Alex’s plan, Ellie frowned, “Sorry, I have to go to work.”
Although Diana was out of danger, she hadn’t woken up yet. The issue was far from over. Quinler had slipped out of the hospital for some unknown scheme, and Ellie wasn’t in the mood to go out with Alex
Moreover, five years ago, someone lud erased all of Alex’s memories of her, including their two children. This was her choice back then. She

should be avoiding sich solitary interactions with him.
“Thanks for the breakfast, Mr. Warren, Ellie said, opening the car door and getting out.
As he watched Ellie walk away with her cup of milk. Alex lost his appetite. He had made his intentions quite obvious, yet she still chose to ignore
him
“A stubborn widow,” Alex muttered under his breath before rolling down the window and calling out to Harry. “Giet in here and eat?
Barry obediently got into the car
“Mr. Warren, Quinlee has gone to the border area between Jaslands and Harwood. The Grant family has already been informed and is on their way there, along with the police,” Barry said.
Barry was stuffing his mouth with breakfast while checking his phone.
Alex instructed. “Stay at the hospital and ensure Orion’s safety during this period. You don’t need to follow me“
A few minutes later, Alex found Ellie in a consultation room and pulled her along
Im still on
I on duty! Where are you taking me?” Ellie protested, still dressed in her white coat as Alex dragged her into the elevator,
Alex said, “Duty can wait. Everyone’s off to watch the show. I’ll take you to join the excitement and shake off that cold demeanor of yours”
A few hours later, in an abandoned factory basement at the border between jaslands and Harwood.
Quinlee knelt on the concrete ground, her eyes wide with terror, bulging as she stared at the tall, slender man standing not far away, his back
turned to her
“I really didn’t know the contents of the USB drive were fake. Give me another chance, and I’ll get it back!” Quinlee pleaded through tears. continiously kowtowing on the ground to save her life.
A shon, masked middle–aged man kicked her in the chest. “You couldn’t even handle a blind man. What use are you to me? That data has already been successfully received by the military, you fool!”
Blood trickled from Quinler’s mouth as her brain struggled to function. Desperation drove her to her feet, solely focused on escaping alive.
“It must be Ellier” Quinlee accused, seeking revenge against Ellie and hoping to use her as a scapegoat.
She continued. “Orion is blind and couldn’t operate the computer accurately. Ellie
ie must have helped him.
“I can trick Ellie into coming here and having her replicate the data for you. With that formula, you could start mass production and make an immense probl“.
“Boss, the police are closing in,‘ a rough–looking man reported hurriedly as he entered.
Quinlee’s mind went blank. She thought, How did the police know? I didn’t alert anybody
Finally, the mysterious man who had his back to Quinder spoke, “Don’t worry about the formula anymore.”
“The baby hasn’t eaten for three days. Let it in, he ordered sharply, turning to cominant everyone to leave.
A growling sound echoed ominously. Quinler snapped back to reality just as a huge wolldog charged down the stairs straight at her.
Before long, the basement was filled with nothing but the sounds of a vicious dog tearing into flesh and Quinlee’s horrific screams,
Quinder was being mauled beyond recognition, her body riddled with bloody wounds. The dog clamped its jaws around her thigh, causing excruciating * pain that nearly made her pass out.
Driven by a desperate will to survive, she thrashed and rolled, managing to crawl to the corner of the room. She grabbed a half–broken brick and umashed it down on the dog’s head.
A few minutes later, Quinler staggered out of the basement, covered in blood. She stumbled and ran, screaming for help, but the area around the
bandoned factory was deserted
Upon escaping the factory. Quinder spotted several cars parked by the roadside. Hope surged within her. “Help! Help me!”
She pounded on the car doors, but jer one came to her aid.
Behind her, the vicious dog growled and changed again, knocking her to the ground on the desolate concrete toad.
Ellie sat in the passenger seat of Alex’s car, slowly rolling down the window.
On the quiet suburban road, Quinlee’s heart–wrenching screams echoed loudly. Watching Quinlee being attacked, dragged, and bitten by the dog. Ellie remained eerily calm.
