Chapter 212 Chapter 212 n 100% Watching Ellie walk through the entrance without looking back, his eyes flickered with uncertainty.
Seeing Alex standing at the car door, unable to take his eyes off Ellie's departing figure, Haley cried while pulling on Alex, saying, "Alex, am I about to die? Can you go withto the hospital?" "Don't worry. I'll go with you to the hospital." Alex said as he finally looked away and got into the car.
Back in her room, Ellie felt more and more that something was off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYears ago, after saving that person, her father lost a leg. She had always kept that collarbone chain at the bottom of a box, never taking it out to look at it.
Once, when Haley was playing in her room, she accidentally opened the box and saw the collarbone chain. She offered the chain to Haley, but at that time, Haley didn't accept it at all. Later on, the collarbone chain mysteriously vanished.
Seeing that collarbone chain always reminded her of her father's lost leg, filling her with overwhelming guilt and sadness.
That's why she never made an effort to find it again and didn't want to see it anymore! Today, she must have been mistaken. She thought, 'How can Haley have my necklace? If Haley truly wanted it, she would have taken it when I gave it to her at first.' Shaking off the annoying thoughts, Ellie tidied up and went out.
Alex could do any kind of crazy thing for Haley. She was really worried about Aaron's situation.
Sitting on the steps by the fountain in the city center plaza, Ellie and Aaron watched the busy crowd. Ellie looked at her brother Aaron with concern. “Aaron, does it have to be you handling this case?” Aaron ruffled Ellie's hair to reassure her, "This case is too important. There was not only Ethan in the car at the tbut also a wealthy kid from Jinerity. So far, three people have died, five are seriously injured, and five have minor injuries." Ellie knew Aaron was an honest person, but she was really worried. "Aaron, can't this case be given to someone else?" Aaron said, "Ellie, do you know? Among the injured is a high school senior who was helping his parents with their stall after evening classes. He saw his father get hit and killed instantly.
"His father was holding sspicy braised food from the stall next door, which was the boy's favorite. I heard this summer the boy is set to take his college entrance exams, but his mom is badly injured and still in the hospital..." Aaron said, "For ordinary people, the law is their last line of defense, their last hope. I would rather lose my job than lose my belief!" Ellie looked at Aaron, so choked up she couldn't say a word.
Morality has always been a tool to control the poor, while the law is what keeps the wealthy in check.

"It's getting late. Letdrive you home." Aaron said as he checked the time, then led Ellie towards the road.
