Chapter 64: Chapter 64
Chapter 66 You know best who she is
But to make John Elliot not worried, Elly did not expressed his guess but relayed the topic.
"It's okay. I'm fine now.", Elly smiled reluctantly from the outside, "It's me at last, aren't you busy getting engaged to Sarah Olsen? If you suddenly run to City S, will she misunderstand?"
Engaged? John Elliot was more thrilled to hear the news than Elly, "Do you want me to get engaged to Sarah Olsen? Who told you that?"
Elly was surprised to have been deceived by Grandma Elliot. Mrs. Elliot personally told her about his engagement to Sarah Olsen. She intended to make her leave John Elliot.
Under John Elliot's gaze, she avoided "Maybe I misheard, yes, I misheard."
"Elly, tell me, who told you about the engagement?" John Elliot asked repeatedly.
"No one. It's because I see the intimate relationship between you and Miss Olsen. I think a person`s affection is deep enough to consider getting engaged." Elly stammered and lied.
No matter what means she uses, Elly doesn't want to sabotage the relationship between mother and son. John Elly sacrificed so much for her.
But John Elliot knows Elly she could never lie in front of him if she lied, he would know. He didn't expose the lie and just explained. "It is my mother's wish that Sarah Olsen and I should marry. Don't listen to anything that is not true!"
Elly was silent. She thinks, after all, they already broke up, it is better to have something relevant.
John Elliot misunderstood her silence. He thought Alex was the most advantageous person for such rumors, but he did not talk to Elly about it, but she trusted Alex very much now.
He saw Elly covered her mouth John Elliot said "I'm glad you're okay Have a good rest."
"What about you? You should go back to City A. You suddenly arrived in the City S area. That makes me very worried!"
John Elliot caressed her head. "You don't need to worry about me. I will be going to find a hotel for the night."
"Yes, brother." Elly tried to convince him, but he left the room quickly before she could speak.
As soon as John Elliot walked out of the room, he saw Alex leaning against the smoke wall and staring at the room like an animal protecting his food. John frowned and reminded him. "In hospitals where smoking is not allowed."
Alex did not notice, but John Elliot's next sentence made him immediately put out the cigarette. Fit and healthy just healed, not suitable for inhaling smoke.
They looked at each other, hate, jealousy. Elliot spoke coldly. Let's talk outside.
John followed Alex to the backyard of the hospital and watched him sit calmly on the stone bench. He glanced at the bench, and his obsession with cleanliness made it difficult for him to sit down as comfortably as Alexis Hargreaves.
John Elliot didn't beat around the bush and ask face to face. "You told her I was getting engaged?"
"Are you engaged?" Alex's eyes sparkled, "I neither deny nor admit it, I ask lightly."
"Did Master Elliot and Miss Olsen met their parents? What do you mean? Or do you want to step on two ships? Just got engaged to Miss Olsen and hooked up with Elly?" Alex's sharp tone was full of hostility. He had never lived in peace with John Elliot.
John Elliot was cynical. "You think I don't know what you think. You cheated on Elly, and you wanted me to get engaged and take the opportunity to ruin our relationship. Alex, you are such a scumbag!"
"Should I praise Master Elliot for his cleverness?" Alex applauded and ridiculed. I have no explanation, nor am I interested in it.
Elliot read Alex's attitude and words and believed the guess even more. Clenching his fist in anger, he quickly grabbed Alex's collar. "Hey, you, asshole!" His breath became heavy, his hands clasped his collar, and he trembled with anger.
Alex was still cold and ruthless in the eyes of John Elliot.
John Elliot was keenly aware of the contemptuous eyes, and he gritted his teeth. Isn't it enough for you to kill Maddy? Still, want to hurt Elly? Alex, how many more people do you want to hurt to be satisfied?
"Satisfied?" Alex smiled coldly. He pulled his hand off his collar and immediately adjusted it straight. His voice was calm, but it was bitterly cold. "Tell her who it was you know best."
John Elliot was stiff.
"Is Maddy dead?" Alex asked.
John Elliot was triggered and hastened to deny that Imperial History was always a joke. "It's Elly. Who could she be? Don't disturb the dead. She was killed by you three years ago!"
"The more you talk, the calmer the world will be. Do you want to use Elly to confess your crimes three years ago? Even if you use Elly as a stand-in, you can't deny the fact that it was you who killed Maddy."
Alex's tone was useless, he didn't say a word, and he didn't want to argue. "John, I already know the truth. I just want to make up for the crime I owe her." John echoed "John, I already know the truth. I just want to make up for what I owe her." John laughed, "No, no!" John Elliot's hand shrank into a fist, and he wanted to hit Alex. "You cause a crime, hurt a person, as long as say a word to make amends, you can escape the crime?"
John Elliot turned around in a calmer tone. "You owe her a lot of money for the rest of her life. If you want to atone for your sins, leave her alone. When she is with you, she's only in pain and her life is in danger."
John Elliot looked at Alex's cold face, then uttered the last words. "You stay away from Elly! Don't hurt her again!"
Alexis Hargreaves looked at Elliot's back and frowned. He did not believe that John Elliot comfortably gave up Elly.
When Alex returned to the ward, Elly fell asleep. He gently rubbed her to make his eyebrows easier. "Even though you're sleeping, you still look tired? Should I let go? Should I let you live safe and sound without me?"
After John Elliot arrived at the hospital, Alex suddenly disappeared, and Elly could no longer see him go to the hospital to see her. Instead, Secretary John was in charge of the hospital's activities and procedures.
She used to see Alex as long as she opens her eyes. He was always by her side in the past few days, and now she was very frustrated and distressed by the lack of him.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Elly could not help being curious and had no choice but to ask. "Why didn't I see Mr. Hargreaves recently?"
General Manager has returned to City A. Secretary John answered quietly to the west.
Elly was surprised to find that her heart was full of indescribable sour. A depressed voice. "Why did he come back? Anyway, it's time to say goodbye for an hour."
"If you have an accident with the company, you have to deal with it yourself."
"What are the problems encountered by the company? Is it complicated?" Elly felt guilty at the thought that Alex had to run between the two countries.
The Russel's Firm factory stopped production suddenly, which affected the delivery time. As long as Mr. Hargreaves comes forward in person, the partners will not dare to be fooled. Secretary John peeked at her face as he spoke. "I'm just worried about Mr. Hargreaves' health. He has been taking care of your day and night these days, and now he is rushing back to City A, I am afraid he will be exhausted."
Secretary John succeeded in making Elly feel anxious and guilty about Alex. From the nurse's joke, she learned that Alex took very good care of her when she was in a coma, and the nurse even mistook them for lovers.
"Can you book me a ticket back to City A?"
Elly suddenly asked such a question, Secretary John was puzzled. "Do you want to go back to City A? Do you want to be with Mr. Hargreaves?"
After his question, her face turned red and her voice was clear. "I just want to go back and see if I can help Mr. Hargreaves. Anyway, he is my savior, and I should do something in return."
Secretary John smiled cunningly at the humiliation of his success, and he nodded quickly. "I'll book the ticket now."
The two took a taxi to the airport. Although Elly decided to go back to City A, she still felt very confused. Anyway, she promised Mrs. Elliot.
At the airport, there was still half an hour before boarding. Secretary John looked at the west several times and hesitated to say something.
"Looking at his anxious look, Elly asked with concern. What happened?
I drank too much water and wanted to go to the bathroom. Secretary John showed a look of shame. Can you be here alone? Mr. Hargreaves entrusted you to me, I can't leave you alone. I'm afraid it's not safe."
Elly was moved and his voice gently urged him. "Don't worry, what will happen to me with so many people here?"
Secretary John was still worried, but he couldn't stand it, so he turned around and ran fast, followed by Elly's laughter.
At that moment, a tall shadow blocked her view. Elly's smile froze the corners of his mouth, and before he could say it, his wrist was pulled away.
"Follow me."
"Aright, let me go." Elly struggled and put his other hand around the back of the chair, motionless.
Seeing that she was disobedient, he raised his eyebrows and asked questions in a low voice. "Do you want to go back to Alex?"
I'm the Manager's secretary. I need to get back to work.
"Are you really doing this for your job?" John Elliot's throat was dry, and his words were bitter. Maybe it's because. he?
