“Mr. Warren, Mr. Lancaster is looking for you,” the woman said as she handed the phone to Alex. He finally pulled
his gaze away. Answering the call, Alex turned and walked away.
Ellie finally managed to calm Betty and looked around. The long hallway that was bustling just moments ago was
now empty. A chill ran down her spine, causing Ellie to spin around.
A tall, slender figure flashed through the hallway. Ellie didn’t even have a chance to catch a glimpse of the man’s
face before he disappeared. Alarmed, she quickly picked up Betty and left.
Back then, Haley teamed up with a group of criminals overseas to try and kill Orion and get that formula.
Although the gang was eventually caught, the leader's older brother stayed abroad, directing things behind the
scenes, and was still not caught.
It was one of the reasons Ellie’s uncle insisted that Orion’s condition remain private until his cornea surgery
successfully restored his sight. He wasn’t allowed to leave the special ward or return to the Warren Manor to
recover.
Ellie had helped Orion flawlessly recreate the data set, and aside from Linda, she hadn't even told Alex the
details. However, she wasn't sure if Haley had implicated her before she died.
Ellie thought, ‘Haley is a sneaky and vicious woman, and just thinking about her makesfurious. | need to
prepare for the worst and be very careful in the future.’
Ellie wasn’t strong. Betty was taller and heavier than most kids her age. Carrying Betty was tough, but Ellie
wouldn't put her down.
As Ellie jogged around the corner with Betty in her arms, they accidentally bumped into someone.
“Ah!” The woman in heels almost fell over, but her partner managed to grab her just in time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEllie wasn’t so lucky. The momentum made her stagger back, and she ended up falling to the ground with Betty.
Afraid Betty might get hurt, Ellie cradled her tightly and tried to brace herself with her hand, letting out a muffled
groan of pain.
“Mommy,” Betty cried in fright, trying to help Ellie up. She looked back and saw Alex helping the other person,
which made her cry even louder.
Hearing Betty cry, Alex let go of the woman he was holding and turned to see that the person who fell was Ellie.
Alex quickly stepped forward to help Ellie up. Noticing the sweat on her brow, his concern deepened. He lifted
her sleeve to check her elbow, but Ellie pulled away.
Their eyes met briefly before Ellie looked away. She stepped back, picked up Betty, and comforted her, “Don’t
cry, Betty. I'm okay.”
“Mommy.” Betty clung to Ellie's neck and glanced at Alex without any sparkle left in her eyes.
Alex bent down, picked up the lollipop from the ground, and offered it to Betty. Betty buried her face in Ellie's
neck, ignoring him completely.
“Sorry to bother you,” Ellie said, noticing that the woman was standing there just fine. She apologized and left
quickly, looking a bit flustered.
Alex held the broken lollipop, watching Ellie leave with Betty. “How does she manage as a mom, walking so fast
with a kid in her arms, like she’s being chased by ghosts?”
The woman glanced dismissively at Ellie’s retreating figure, not giving her any notice. “Mr. Warren, let's go,” she
said.

Ellie returned with Betty, catching Diana's eye. “How did you end up like this just from going to the restroom?”
Diana exclaimed.
