Chapter 153

After Alex left, Ellie felt a lingering unease in her heart.

She was willing to believe that the law was fair and just. But she also knew that the world was never fair.

Some are born into wealth, while others are destined for poverty. Some can easily obtain everything, while others strive hard and their goals remain out of reach.

Inequality was the norm and an inescapable reality for her.

She didn’t know how Alex would make things difficult for her, or what means he would use to force her. But this time, she was not prepared to back down.

The next day, a little after ten in the morning, Ellie’s heart sank when she saw Aaron enter the ward.

It was Tuesday, and at this time, Aaron should have been at work.

Aaron put down his umbrella and turned to see Ellie’s worried gaze on him.

Aaron took off his uniform jacket, which was wet for the most part. “There’s been a lot of rain these days. Don’t run around by yourself, and I’ll pick you up on the day you’re discharged.”

It seemed like something was stuck in Ellie’s throat, making it difficult for her to speak. “Aaron, is it because of him…?*

Aaron smiled. “Don’t worry, it’s just a temporary suspension for inspection. Everything will be fine.”

Ellie’s hands were intertwined, covering her chest. Alex, in order to force her to clear Haley’s name, had resorted to such coercive measures against Aaron again.

Seeing Ellie’s low spirits, Aaron changed the subject. “Cheer up. Thanksgiving is coming up soon, and I can take a break to pick up Mom and Dad and spend some quality time with them.”

Ellie looked down at the candy Aaron handed her, her eyes blurred with tears. “Aaron, I’ll go to him.”
