After that, Evelyn didn't want to stay here with Ellie, so Evelyn turned around and left.
Ellie looked at her back with mixed feelings.
She had thought that if she agreed to donate, Evelyn would treat her better. At least, Evelyn wouldn't
be at loggerheads with her. It seemed that this was just her wishful thinking.
Ellie hid the disappointment on her face and sat down, waiting for the results of the physical
examination.
Ellie was bored and could only stare blankly. At this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure
appear.
Meredith came to visit Penelope with a bunch of flowers.
Coincidentally, the hospital that Evelyn chose was the one where Penelope had her surgery.
The hospital Amelia was in specialized in blood surgery, but this hospital specialized in brain surgery.
That was why they lived in different hospitals.
When Ellie saw Meredith coming, her heart beat faster for no reason. She thought about it, stood up Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
quietly and followed Meredith.
Meredith didn't notice. She went into Penelope's ward with the flowers and asked Penelope how she
was feeling.
They chatted for a while. Meredith looked at the ward and frowned when she found that Damian was
not there.
Did Damian really give up?
Meredith did not dare to ask Penelope what was going on, for fear of making her sad.
In order not to let Penelope's imagination go wild, Meredith told her about saving a little girl, and said
some other trivial things. Seeing that Penelope was in a good mood, Meredith was relieved and stood
up.
Just as Meredith was about to leave, she saw Ellie standing not far from the door. It seemed that she
was in a daze.
Ellie heard everything Meredith had just said.
When she heard Meredith say that she brought a little girl home who was abused, Ellie couldn't help
but look at her in a new light.
Nowadays, most people were indifferent. It was rare to see someone like her spared no pains to do
such a thankless task.
Ellie had been bullied by older children in the orphanage before, so Ellie had a good opinion of
Meredith.
"Miss Soong, why are you here?"
Meredith was surprised to see her.
"Oh, I'm here for a physical examination. Recently... I've been feeling unwell."
For some reason, Ellie stumbled over her words.
Ellie had been a public relations manager for so long that she had developed strong interpersonal
skills. She had the confidence that even if she lied, no one would catch her.
But for some reason, the thought of deceiving a good, kind woman and separating her from her son's
father made Ellie feel uneasy.
"Oh, I see. How is it? Are you okay?"
Meredith could not help but ask. Although they were unfamiliar, she did not feel antipathy against Ellie.
In any case, Ellie was much easier to get along with Evelyn, who was unruly and arrogant.
"I should be fine."
Ellie quickly replied. Seeing that Meredith was leaving, she asked tentatively, "Are you going back to
take care of your mother?"
Meredith nodded. Now that her mother was about to have an operation, she basically pushed
everything off her plate and focused on taking care of her mother.
Now, it was almost lunchtime, so she had to go back.
"Can I go and visit your mom?"
Although Ellie found it brusque to ask that, she still said it.
As soon as she finished her words, her ears turned red from nervousness and her heart beat faster.
"I'm very touched by your kindness. Sure, you can come with me."
Meredith didn't say anything, just thinking that maybe it was because Ellie was well-bred. When Ellie
heard that her mother was sick, she went to visit her out of courtesy.
"That's great."
Ellie heaved a sigh of relief when Meredith agreed.
Meredith looked at her nervous look and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Ellie offered to visit her mother, and it was impossible for her to refuse out of courtesy. Why was Ellie
so nervous? There must be something wrong with it.
However, Meredith could not figure out anything for a moment, so she did not show anything.
They got in the car one after the other. Soon, the car stopped in the parking lot of the hospital.
"I'm going to buy some presents over there."
Ellie was almost upstairs when she realized that she had forgotten to buy something and almost went
to visit Amelia empty-handed.
"Please don't bother."
Meredith didn't care about that. Anyway, her mother didn't need anything, but Ellie insisted on buying
gifts, and there was nothing Meredith could do.
Ellie went to the supermarket and bought a few of the most expensive tonics while Meredith was
waiting outside. When she saw what Ellie was holding in her hand, she hurriedly said, "You don't have
to buy such expensive things..."
"It's okay. It is a token of my regard."
Ellie went to the bathroom to wash her face when she was in the supermarket just now. She told
herself to calm down.
Seeing that Ellie was stubborn, Meredith had no choice but to take her upstairs. They walked into the
ward and Meredith introduced her, "Mom, this is a friend of mine. Her name is Ellie. She's here to visit
you."
"Oh, I see. I'll call you Ellie. You don't have to buy anything."
When Amelia heard that she was Meredith's friend, she greeted Ellie warmly.
Ellie mustered up her courage and looked at Amelia, then lost in her thoughts for a moment.
Although Amelia looked haggard and thin from illness, Ellie could tell that her features were exquisite
and she must be beautiful when she was young.
Ellie looked into Amelia's eyes and inexplicably felt as if she herself was a little like Amelia.
When Amelia saw Ellie, she also thought Ellie was familiar somehow. When she looked again, she
realized that Ellie's features were really similar to hers.
It must be destiny.
Amelia could not help but feel a little closer to Ellie.
"Ellie, come on. Have a seat."
Amelia beckoned Ellie over. Meredith was happy to see that they seemed to be on good terms.
Amelia used to enjoy the hustle and bustle of life, but she could only stay in the hospital now and could
not get in touch with outsiders. Finally, there was someone else to accompany her. It was obvious that
she was really happy.
"I'll leave you to your chat. I'll go out and talk to the doctor."
Ellie nodded and Meredith left.
Ellie introduced herself, and then chatted with Amelia about some trivial things. Then, she said
cautiously, "Auntie, is Meredith your only daughter?"
"My ex-husband and I only have one daughter, Mer. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Hearing this answer, Ellie was inexplicably disappointed.
After chatting with Amelia for a while, she felt Amelia matched her expectations of her mother. Amelia
was gentle and kind, but she had a power that could not be ignored.
But now Ellie learned that Amelia only had one daughter, she thought she was probably thinking too
much.
