With the commitment of the Griffith sisters, Ellie felt reassured as she left. The leverage she held was enough to make sure they would comply.

“How did the negotiations go?” As Ellie stepped out of the elevator and hurried toward her parking sp calling from behand 

Turning around, she saw Alex casually approaching with an umbrella. “What are you doing here?” she blurted out, surprised. 

Standing just a step away. Alex suddenly wrapped an arm around Ellie’s waist and pulled her closer 

The atmosphere instantly became romantic, and she pressed her hands against his chest, unsure of how to react 

“And what brings you here at this hour?” Alex smirked, tilting the umbrella slightly toward her. Feeling enveloped by his presence and momentarily powerless, she realized it was difficult to escape his hold. 

Earlier that day, Yvette had left a conversation unfinished in the lounge before Ellie knocked her out, so it was clear that Alex had come to ask about something. Luckily, Ellie had arrived first 

Standing under the umbrella feeling g the warmth of Alex’s hand on her lower back, Ellie clenched her fists against his chest and then pushed him away with force. 

To her surprise, Alex held steady, and she ended up being thrust out from under the umbrella and into the rain. Ignoring him, she turned and started to walk away. 

Alex made no attempt to stop her, instead rubbing his chest where she had grabbed him and heading back toward the elevator. 

After taking a few steps, Ellie suddenly stopped. Turning back, she saw Alex still making his way to the elevator Panic gripped her, and she called out. Mr. Warren.” 

Alex paused, holding the umbrella and gazing at her. After a moment’s hesitation, Ellar pulled her bag over her head to shield herself from the rain and hurned back under the shelter of his umbrella. 

She knew she needed to distract Alex away. 

“I didn’t bring an umbrella, and I didn’t drive here. Could you kindly escort me to the entrance for a taxi!” Ellie glanced up at him, her tone much softer than before. 

Alex’s gaze shifted downwards as has assertive hand reclaimed its place on her lower back. He leaned in slightly and whispered. “Was I too hasty in the hospital and hurt you, Ellie? You’re not still upset, are your 

The teasing tone in his voice made it hard for Ellie to focus. She turned her head to avoid his warm breath brushing against her and forced a smile… Tunderstand your eagerness to connect with Orion.” 

Suddenly, lais grip tightened around her waist, pulling Ellie closer to him. She gasped in surprise and tried to push him away, but he only held her more firmly 

With one hand restraining her, Alex leaned in slightly, brushing his cheek against hers while a playful smile spread across his face. “Have you treated the wounds on your body!” 

“It’s just a minor injury, no need for mask her embarrassment 

Ellie said, aware of the meaning behind his words. She forced herself to speak a little louder, trying to 

Alex guided her toward the exit. Ellie thought she heard a soft chuckle escape his lips, Looking up, she noticed that he had tilted his head upward, making it difficult to read his expression 

Still, she could tell that he was

Holding the cigarettes in his hand, Harry stood in the rain, shocked at his boss’s sudden departure and feeling a chill sweep through him,

The following morning, Alex arrived at Hoodie Private Hospital to make an appointment with Ellie. As she sat at a computer desk wearing a mask, she caught a whiff of men’s cologne the matament Alex cutered the consultation roGITE 

Alex closed the door and sat down in front of Ellie, reaching to pull down her mask, but she turned her head away, 

Noticing his mischievous demeanor, she lowered lier gate to her list of tasks. “It’s just for show there’s no need for a consultation,” she said dismissively.

Chapter 291 

Tve had a sore mouth all night and couldn’t manage breakfast this morning” Alex leaned in, thrusting his face closer to Ellie’s as if to have her inspect his mouth 

Holding her pen tightly. Ellie’s eyes quickly darted to the injury on his lower lip Remembering how she had bitten him after he kissed her passionately in the car last night, she scolded him in her heart and looked away. 

“How did it become so swollen?” she asked. Though she had bitten him in a moment of instinct, this seemed like an excessive reaction. 

“I licked it.” Alex replied, his steady gaze locked on Ellie. She focused on the medical record in front of her, trying to avoid his flirtatious look. 

Taking a deep breath, Ellie began typing rapidly on the keyboard presenting him with the outpatient card. All set. Go pay the fee for the examination. I’ll take you to Orion’s wand later” 

Upon hearing that they would reunite after the check up, Alex stopped with the flirty remarks, took the card, and stood to leave. 

“Wait a moment.” Ellie said as she handed him a mask. “Put this on” 

Intentionally licking his wounded lower lip. Alex leaned in closer and said, “I won’t wear it. If anyone asks, I’ll just tell them Ellie did this to me With that, he pushed open the consultation room door and exited. 

Ellie sighed in frustration. Alex continued with the procedure while Ellie made her way to Orion’s ward. 

“Orion is in good spirits today, I just replaced the dressing on his facial wounds; he should be ready for visitors, Linda said as she carried the sheets and Orion’s clothes to be washed 

Upon hearing that Orion was feeling better, Ellie felt a weight lift from her shoulders. “Linda, has Quinlee not visited in the past few days?” 

Just hearing Quinlee’s name made Linda’s sunny demeanor darken, “Ever since that day, she hasn’t been around. She’s called Orion several times, crying pitifully. 

a tantrum. Honestly, if I could be replaced by someone else, I would be 

“She asked Orion to replace me, but he refused. It seems she’s throwing a tant drilled. I truly dislike Quinlee 

Ellie felt similarly frustrated. Gently, she patted Linda’s shoulder. “Just treat her like she’s air. If she tries to bother you, stand your ground. We won’t give in to her” 

“Oh, by the way, Ellie, Orion requested a laptop and a waterproof USB drive, Linda suddenly remembered and quickly informed Ellie. “Sure. Til drop them off before my shift ends,” Ellie replied. She wasn’t sure what Orion needed those items for, but she assumed it must be important. 

Just then, Quinler entered, Ellie informed Quinler about Orion needing a laptop and USB before stepping outside. 

Quinlee thought, Finally, after such a long wait, Orion can start his recovery. Once I got that stuff, I can free myself from those people and become Mr. Warren 

Turning back, Ellie saw Quinler hastily leaving and calmly rose from her seat. 

Quinlee inadvertently bumped into Alex while leaving, who quickly pushed her aside with a disdainful look and said, “Watch where you’re going!” Quinlee quickly masked her embarrassment with a smile as she approached him. “Alex, what brings you to the hospital?” 

Feigning ignorance, she casually asked that. She had just left Yvette’s apartment, feeling anxious about her plans. To her surprise, everything had gone smoothly, and the hefty check she gave Yvelle wasn’t wasted. 

Now, Alex was completely convinced that she saved Orion. He believed Ellie was deliberately hiding the fact that Orion was alive from the Warren family Quinlee felt a thrill anticipating the confrontation between Alex and Ellie. 

She looked forward to the Warren family recognizing her as Orion’s savior. She longed for Orion’s parents to beg her to marry him. 

Alex suddenly said, “Did you come out to pick me up 

Hearing Alex’s warm voice, Quinler snapped back to reality. Watching as Alex subtly tried to lean closer to Ellie, who brushed him off, made Quinler’s heart sink 

Quinlee thought, “Yvette has assured me that she successfully sowed discord between Alex and Ellie, so why is Alex still acting so forward in Ellie’s presencef
