Vinner Quinder, bloodied and tom in by the hounds, dragged herself in the front of a car, desperately pounding on the door.
The window was rolled down, and Winnie sat in the backseat of the luxury car, staring straight ahead, refusing to look at Quinlee.

“Ales“” Quinder’s voice was filled with despair as she watched Alex cling to Ellie. She screamed his name, her voice cracking with frustration.
Quinder thought that since Winnie said that everyone knew who she really was, she had nothing left to hide. She felt glad that she had exposed Ellie to those people. Il she was going down to hell, she was taking Ellie with her.
Quinder’s eyes furnied with hatred, and through gritted teeth, she yelled at Alex, “I ended up like this because of you! I’m not Quinlee! I’m Haley!!

If she hadn’t stolen Ellie’s necklace on a whim back then and greedily claimed it belonged to her, leading Alex to mistake her for maybe none of the terrible things that followed would have happened.
Ir all started with a he and a moment of greed, and her life was ruined
She regretted it. If only time could go backward, she would be loyal to the Owens family, and she would love those who truly cared for her.
However, it was too late.
Tears of regret slowly streamed down Haley’s face as she gave up the struggle, closing her eyes slowly.
“In the name of love, you’ve done unforgivable things. You asked for this. The car begin to move, and Ellie took one last look at Haley through the
car window.
Everything in this world came with consequences. The reason Ellie chose to be a good man wasn’t out of cowardice, but because she understood that she reaped what she sowed.
No matter how hand life was, she still believed that good people would be blessed and had ones would get what was coming to them.
Lilie and Alex were silent as they made their way back to the hospital. When the car
ar finally came to a stop, as Ellie was getting out. Alex grabbed her arm. “If you’re scared, you can rest on my shoulder,” he said, patting his chest.
“I’m not scared” Ellie glanced at Alex before getting out of the car.
After Ellie left, Alex turned to the front passenger seat where Harry was sitting and asked, “Who is

“I’m sorry, Mr. Warren. L… I don’t know, Barry quickly shook his head, clearly terrified. She knew if he said something wrong, Nancy first to cut his tongue.
Alex raised an eyebrow. “Did I know Dr. Thompson before?”
Well, it’s your personal matter. I don’t know!” Barry stammered. Just now, he had heard Alex ask Ellie, and Ellie had dismissed him with just a few words. He thought Alex hadn’t taken it seriously at all.
Alex frowned, opened the car door, and stepped out.
Around 7 p.m., Diana woke up in the ward,
“Ellie was right. Quinlee turned out to be Haley in disguise!” Diana groaned weakly as she pounded the bed in frustration.
Be careful. You have an IV in your hand, Aaron gently held Diana’s arm, preventing her from moving it too much.
“How did you figure our Quinlee’s true identity?” Lacey, exhausted, sat in a chair, her upper body leaning on Mark, her eyes half–closed
“Because the second daughter of the Janssen family, who was once engaged to me, had a child. Linda pushed Orion into the ward in a wheelchair. and the latter explained everything to the group.
Orion continued. “Back then, her boyfriend was a rising movie star, so she kept their relationship private. We only got engaged to appease our families
“Later, Quinler drowned, and her boyfriend, prioritizing his career, sent the child to his relatives in the countryside. He never made it public. If you want to know who she is, just do a DNA test, and everything will be clear”
“Wait, so the one who drowned back then was the real Haley? And she had a famous boyfriend and a child before she died!” Lacey stared in disbelief at Mark, who calmly tapped her on the head with his fingers, saying nothing.
Aaron got a call from )

“IIl identify the body and see if the person who harned you that night is among them. I’ll come back to you soon” Aaron whispered in Diana’s ear before leaving the room.
Linda pushed Orion out of Diana’s ward. Ellie and Alex followed belund. Ellie headed to her office, while Alex wheeled Orion back to the room.
As they entered, Alex said, “I think we should it Mom and Dad visit you.”
“Not yet” Orion replied without hesitation. “T’I have my final facial reconstruction si

Alex didn’t press the mutter further. After discussing work for a while, he left the rooms, taking a winding path until he reached Ellie’s office. He knocker on the door, and hearing a response, he adjusted his clothes before pushing the door open.
Ellie saw Alex standing in the doorway with hands in lus suit pants pockets, leaning casually against the door frame “averted her gaze, sligluly irritated. “Mr. Warren, do you need anything?”

Ellie cut him off before he could finish. Take some sleeping pills. One won’t be enough, but two should do the trick
Alex was speechless.
