In the evening, Ellie left the outpatient building of the hospital with Mark. She saw Alex again by the roadside.

The smile on Ellie’s face disappeared the moment she saw Alex. Alex, noticing the change in Ellie’s expression upon seeing him, immediately showed a displeased look.

Mark, following Ellie’s line of sight, saw Alex and politely came over to greet him. “Alex, long time no see.”

Alex’s gaze subtly shifted between Mark and Ellie as he perfunctorily reached out to shake Mark’s hand. “When did you return to the country?”

Mark replied, “Yesterday.”

Thinking of the scene of Ellie leaving in Mark’s car yesterday, Alex let out an ambiguous cold snort.

Ellie didn’t expect Mark to actually be acquainted with Alex. She kept her head down and didn’t participate in the conversation between the two men.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Mark, Alex fixed his gaze on Ellie. “You should have received my grandfather’s call. Let’s go.”

“No need. I’ll take a taxi,” Ellie said, stepping back when Alex reached for her.

She had received a call from Carlos himself during her shift, asking her to visit the Warren Manor. Since Carlos had spoken, she couldn’t refuse.

“Ms. Thompson, Mr. Carlos Warren has sent me to pick you up.” Evan approached respectfully.

“Mark, I’ll leave first,” Ellie said her goodbyes to Mark and got into the car sent by Evan.

Alex looked at Evan in silence. Evan explained, “Mr. Carlos Warren was worried that Ellie wouldn’t leave with you, so he sent

me.”

Alex was at a loss for words.

When Ellie arrived at the Warren Manor, Alex had just arrived as well. They entered the living room one after the other, without speaking to each other.

Following Evan, Ellie entered Carlos’s study and found Alex’s parents there as well. Ellie greeted the elders and was pulled to sit beside Nancy by her.

Ellie poured tea for the elderly man. “Grandpa Carlos, how have you been feeling lately?”

Carlos nodded.
