Chapter 60

Ellie was only in the hospital for two days before being discharge. She had work, a part–time job, and Aaron’s current job came with strict rules, preventing him from taking on any side gigs. She needed to earn more money for her dad’s medication. She couldn’t afford to take a break.

As soon as Ellie got back to her apartment, her phone rang. It was Nancy. “You need to come to the Warren Manor,” she said urgently. “Carlos is sick.” Ellie couldn’t ignore it, so she quickly got ready and headed out.

She had been part of the Warren family since she was a child, and everyone there had always treated her kindly. No matter how rocky things got with Alex, she couldn’t simply disregard the rest of the family.

Arriving at the Warren Manor just around noon, Ellie spent some time in Carlos’s room accompanying him for lunch. By the time she stepped out, it was nearly two o’clock.
