Chapter 297 10 Ellie turned her head away, dodging Alex's warm breath and holding back any response.

Alex remained in that position, not letting her go. This was the closest he had been to her in over half a month. He could smell the shampoo in her hair and feel the unique scent on her body, He stared straight into Ellie's eyes with tenderness. His gaze flickered with affection that seemed ready to spill over as if trying to pull her into the depths of his eyes.

80% Those mixed emotions inside him took on a hint of unsettling intensity. His focus shifted to Ellie's lips. He swallowed, and the restlessness deep inside him grew more apparent. His breathing quickened, and he couldn't help following the warmth of Ellie's breath, leaning in closer.

Ellie heard the man's footsteps fade away, and she raised her hand to slap Alex across the face. She then pushed him away, wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket, and ran off in the opposite direction.

Alex was jolted awake by the slap. Seeing Ellie leave, he raised his hand to touch the side of his face where she had slapped him, his eyes darkening.

Barry saw Alex's failed attempt at a kiss and the subsequent slap. He quickly turned around, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

The next morning, Ellie was at work when a patient walked into her office.

"Take off that mask," Ellie said, noticing the man was fully disguised with a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. She couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

"Bitch, I finally got you!" The man suddenly leaped up from his chair, grabbing Ellie's arm with one hand while removing his disguise with the other.

Seeing the large scar on the man's forehead, Ellie's heart pounded wildly. She thought, 'No way! Could this be the sguy?' "It's your fault for being a creep. You deserved it!" Ellie shook off the man's grip. "If you cany closer, I'm calling the police!" The man pointed at the large scar on his forehead and slammed his hand on the desk. “Hear my name! I'm Justin Warren. You're the one who blockedfrom escaping, so I just took you into the room accidentally. Was that creepy?" Ellie stared at Justin's smug face, surprised to learn that he was also surnamed Warren.

Justin brushed aside the messy bangs from his forehead and said "Look at what you did! You messed up my face! Do you know how much this face is worth?" Justin gave her a pointed look. "So, how are you going to compensatefor this?" Ellie froze, thinking, 'Con, another one I can't afford to mess with! Why does this keep happening to me?' Ellie's eyes slowly darkened, and she slumped in her chair, deflated. "Why don't you just sue me? My dad just passed away, and the family is buried in debt. I'm just a small-town girl with a tiny paycheck. I could never pay you back." Justin gave her a skeptical look. "Is that true?" Ellie nodded vigorously.

Half an hour later, Justin was convinced by Ellie to stay in the hospital. They cto a private agreement. Elie promised to make sure the scar on his forehead wouldn't stay, take care of him, and serve him until he was discharged. To avoid further trouble, Ellie rushed out during her lunch break to grab sfood and quickly brought it to Justin's ward.

"I'm feeling dizzy. How about you feed me?" Justin sat up on the bed with a mischievous look, his eyes scanning Ellie with that signature troublemaker expression. Ellie pulled out the small table and set the food down. "We've already made a deal. Don't go too far." As she turned to leave, Justin grabbed her sleeve. "Hey, wait, tell me-do you have a boyfriend?"

Before Ellie could answer, someone appeared, and in an instant, a punch landed on Justin's chest, knocking him back onto the bed. "Damn, who do you think you are?" Justin, lying on the bed, looked up with wide eyes at Alex, who stood over him with a face full of fury. “Uncle... Uncle Alex?"
