hapter 89 The next morning. Ellie went back to visit her parents and stayed overnight, returning the following day. During this time, Alex sent her a message, telling her she was not allowed to go abroad but she could make any other requests. She read his message but didn't reply.

In the morning. Ellie went to the bar and told Whitney about he plans to go abroad. At noon, she met Aaron for lunch. After that, she returned to her apartment and cleaned it thoroughly. When she checked the time, it was almost seven, leaving her less than two hours until her flight.

Ellie stood in the empty room and instinctively moved to the balcony. In the closet there, she found the comics she had drawn her little secret and the proof of her long-standing crush on Alex that had endured for seven years.

While living with the Warren family, she had switched hiding places for these items multiple times. When she went to Jinerity for college, she organized them overnight and locked them in a suitcase.

After finishing college and moving back, she brought them into her small rental. Once she moved to her current place, she tucked them away in the closet.

Countless times, she had considered destroying them, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. No matter where she went, she always took the drawings along.

She'd find a way to make room for them even in the smallest of spaces. Just like no matter how much it hurt, there was always a place for him in her heart.

Ellie let her gaze fall back on the unfinished comic on the drawing board. Even though it was just an outline without any features, that face had long been engraved in her heart.

She stared quietly for a while, until her vision blurred and she realized she had cried again. With her eyes closed, she ripped the drawing in half.

At 8 PM, Ellie reached the airport. She set her luggage down and urged her brother to go home. "You should go back and rest. I'll call you when I arrive." After Aaron left, Ellie was waiting in the lounge for her turn at the security check when she suddenly got a call from her mom. She assumed her mom was just worried and calling to check in, but it turned out her dad had fallen and hurt his leg. ending up in a health center.

"Mom, don't worry. I'll have someone send the medical booklet back to you right away," Ellie said before hanging up. announcement for the security check was already being broadcast. After hesitating for a moment, she called Whitney.

The It was a little after 8 PM, just when the bar was starting to get busy. Whitney answered Ellie's call but couldn't hear well, so she stepped outside to take it.

"Ellie, don't worry. I'll go find it now and have someone drive it over to your parents right away," Whitney reassured Ellie over the phone, just as Alex and Layton arrived at the bar.

"What happened to Ellie?" Alex asked, stopping Whitney as she was about to leave.

Whitney said, "Ellie's dad broke his leg and he's in the hospital. The medical booklet Ellie got for him is in her apartment. She wantsto help find it and get it to her parents." "Tin on it," Alex offered, and before he could finish his sentence, he was already out the door of the bar. He rushed to Ellie's apartment at top speed, only to find it spotless, as if nobody had ever lived there.

He went into the bedroom to look for the booklet. After checking everywhere, he still couldn't find it. He tried calling Elie, but the call went unanswered. Frustrated, He searched every possible spot he could think of, but found nothing.

Finally, Alex went to the balcony. It was completely tidy, even the clothes usually left out to dry and somem potted plants were gone. He bent down to pick up a tom drawing Ellie had left behind, frowning as he discarded it like trash. Looking up. Alex noticed a wall cabinet. He tiptoed to open it. Lke fluttering snowflakes, sheets of sketch paper ctumbling down onto him.

He bent down and picked up a sheet-it was a sketch of a boy's face.

Actually, it looked more like a cartoon than a realistic portrait, complete with dates and writing. Staring intently at the drawing, Alex was struck by how much it looked like him. He slowly crouched down, staring at the floor covered in scattered papers. As he picked them up one by one, he realized they were all pictures of him.
