Love's Tangled Web (Alex and Ellie)

It was foolish to reveal your weaknesses to people you didn't know well. But everyone probably noticed Ellie's actions carher, Ellie was afraid of

"Ms. Thompson, could you move! They're serving the food" Quinler pulled Ellie to the side of the boat before she could react

Someon mumped into her from behind, making Ellie lose her balance and fall into the lake. With a loud splash, she couldn't call for help before she hit the water.

Late at night, at Jaland's Hospital, Alex, completely soaked, refused to leave Ellies bedside.

In the hallway outside the hospital room. Quinlee approached Diana cautiously. Tm sorry, Diana. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have wanted to try something new by inviting everyone for a meal on the boat."

"It was just an accident. Nobody meant for it to happen. Ill stay and wait for the results. You all should go home first," Diana said, her eyes worriedly fixated on the hospital room door.

Lacey gave Quinlee an annoyed look. "Ellie was already scared of water. She finally got on the boat, so why did you pull her so hard?" Quinlee bowed her head in frustration. "I did pull her, but not hard. It was the waiter who accidentally bumped into Ms. ThompsonTM "Since nobody wants to see me. I'll just head back." Quinlee said, turning to leave.

Nalani answered the phone and left. Just then, Diana saw Aaron hurrying over and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Aaron, I-"Diana began, but Aaron had already pushed open the hospital room door and went inside.

Diana stared blankly at the open h hospital room door, her words caught in her throat.

"Diana." Lacey gently rugged on the zipper of Diana's bag. "Aaron is just worried about Ellie. He didn't mean to ignore you"

Diana shook her head. "Lacey, you should go home. I'll call you when Ellie wakes up, Diana said as she guided Lacey into the elevator, and then

returned.

Diana didn't go into the hospital room; instead, she sat on a bench in the hallway, waiting for news.

"Don't worry, I'll send her home right now. Beside the bench in the hallway, Aaron gazed down at Diana. "It's late, go get some rest

Diana sat

sat there without moving "Im sorry, I shouldn't have taken Ellie to such a remote place. I'll leave after she wakes up"

Aaron looked down at Diana and said, "As an adult, you should think ahead before doing anything. You took Ellie to such a remote place late at night. Now that something has happened, do you think saying sorry is enough to fix it?" Diana suddenly stood up, tears of frustration welling up. "I already said it wasn't on purpose. How about I stand on a boat and let you push me into

lake to make up for it?

Sering Diana's teary eyes filled with frustration, Aaron felt helpless. I'm not blaming you. I want you to understand that in the future, whenever you do anything, you need to."

"You're not my dad, so stop nagging me!" Diana interrupted Aaron irritably-

"There's no point in scolding me because I won't change. I'm not leavingnoveldrama

Ellie wakes up!" Diana stated firmly

They exchanged a look, and Aaron found himself out of ideas. "If you're not going to go back, at least dry your tears and go rest in the nurse's

As Aaron was still speaking, Diana obediently wiped her tears and entered the ward. Auron was speechles

In the dim corner of the hallway, Quinlee watched from a distance as Aaron made a call to Diana's father, her face twisted with fury

Back then, she spent over a year trying to win Aaron over before he agreed to date her. Had she not chosen Alex over him, they might have been married now.

Quinler thought, 'Aaron has always been a rational person with clear boundaries. Hat when Diana started crying, he was flustered and immediately

I looks like Aaron's interested in that little troublemaker Than Aamn, as long as l'in here, you'll never be with her.

After Aaron fauished his call with Declan, he returned to the ward where Alex was still present. Noticing Diana quietly settled on the companion beil Aaron draped his jacket over her. 'Close your eyes, he instructed. Thana obediently closed her eyes. Try not leaving until Ellie wakes up!"

When Aaron came to the bedside, Alex spoke up before Aaron could say anything.

Alex was still in his soaking wet clothes, looking rather messy as he sat by the bed. His bloodshot eyes were fixed unblinkingly on Ellie.

"Mr. Warren, maybe you should go clean up first. If Ellie wakes up and sees you like this, she might faint Diana whispered before quickly closing her eyes agam

Alex sniffed his clothes and then stood up. As he reached the door, he turned back to Aaron and said, "Aaron, I'll be back soon.

Hearing Alex call him, Aaron frowned deeply.

Half an hour later, in Carlos's VIP hospital room. Alex had showered, changed into clean clothes, and was about to leave. Nancy said. "You stay here. Il go check

000

Ellie

Alex quickly stopped his mom and said, "Mom, let me go, I told Aaron. I'd be back soon.

"Aaron?" Nancy widened her eyes, looking at Alex. "Did he let you call him that?"

Alex gave a slight smirk. Tll call him what I want. Whether he agrees or not, that's his problem."

"You're

so shameless!" Nancy shook her head in disdain and sat back down on the chair.

Early the next morning, Jason and Whitney brought Joanna to the hospital. After learning that Alex had saved Ellie last night, the Thompson family was more relaxed towards Alex. At least they didn't kick him out of the room

"The patient is still in a coma. The family should give her a massage from time to time to help with blood circulation, the doctor said.

"I do it" Several voices overlapped in the room before the doctor even finished talking.

Diana and Joanna were on the left side of the bed, while Alex and Aaron were on the right

"Mr. Warren, it's not appropriate for you to do this. Let us take care of it instead, Aaron said, stopping Alex's hand, which was about to massage Ellie's arm

Alex said, "Aaron, I've already shared a bed with Ellie. Do you think stopping me now will change anything?" His words immediately altered the expressions on everyone else's faces in the room

At the doorway, Nancy was about to knock when she heard Alex's embarrassing words. Blushing, she awkwardly pulled her hand back.

Aaron let his hand gorcluctantly, allowing Alex to massage Ellie's arm.

Mrs. Thompson, you rest. I've got this," Alex said, displaying his shamelessness to the maximum. At that moment, the unconscious Ellie dowly began to wake up

"Ellie, you're finally awake! Seeing Ellie open her eyes. Diana jumped up and down with excitement Ellie looked around the hospital room, her eyes finally landing on Alex holding her arm tightly. Their eyes met briefly, and Alex sheepishly let go. The doctor told me to massage you, he mumbled.

The others was speechless.
