Chapter 390 Her ankle was suddenly gripped tight, startling Ellie. She jumped, her entire body trembling.

Seeing Alex emerge from under the hospital bed, Ellie's jaw dropped in astonishment. “Alex, how... Why..." She stammered.

"Shh, be quiet," Alex whispered, covering Ellie's mouth to stop her from making a sound. He then wrapped an arm around her waist and carried her behind the curtain.

Lacey on the bed directly covered her head with the quilt and kept muttering, "I'm sorry, Ellie. I didn't mean to lie to you. BlAlex, the jerk. He threatened me." Alex threatened Lacey, saying that if Lacey didn't help him trick Ellie out, he would tell everyone about how Layton drugged him and put Layton in jail.

Lacey kept advising Layton to stay away from Alex before, or Layton wouldn't be able to find a girlfriend. But Layton just wouldn't listen.

Now Layton was completely led astray by Alex and was caught red-handed. Even Lacey couldn't escape Alex's clutches.

Hearing the movement behind the curtain, Lacey quickly covered her ears with the quilt.

Behind the curtain, instead of letting go, Alex hugged Ellie tighter and kissed her.

Ellie's eyes widened and she was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe. 'How can he take the initiative to kiss me?' thought Ellie.

Meeting Ellie's shocked eyes, Alex coaxed gently, "I'll let go of you, but you have to be good and not shout." Seeing Ellie nod, Alex was relieved to let go of her. He held Ellie's shoulders, bent over slightly to keep his eyes level with hers, and unconsciously moved closer until their breaths mingled.

Only then did Alex say, "Don't look atlike that. We got together more than a month ago in Jinerity." Ellie's mind was too muddled to think. She moved her lips and finally asked, "Alex, what are you talking about? What do you mean?" Ellie liked Alex for many years, but she was well aware of the gap between them. She had never thought about being with him.

"That means we slept together," said Alex.

"You're talking nonsense!" Ellie blurted out.

Alex was afraid that Ellie wouldn't understand, so he leaned down and kissed Ellie forcefully on the lips. "More than a month ago. In Jinerity. We did sleep together and do things that men and women would do. Understand?" Ellie was stunned and couldn't believe it. More than a month ago. In Jinerity... Ellie tried hard to remember, but a sudden headache struck her. She broke out in a cold sweat, instinctively clutching her head.

"Is your head hurting again?" Alex carefully pulled Ellie into his arms and massaged her temples.

After a while, Ellie felt a little better. She pushed Alex's hands away.

Alex finally breathed a sigh of relief when he felt Ellie's breathing calm down.

Ellie liked Alex, but it was a one-sided love. She never dared to Gom reveal her feelings, Hokaid she ever think there would be a result. How could this have happened between her and Alex?

Meeting Ellie's confused eyes, Alex hugged her tightly with heartache. "Ellie, listen to me. We're together. Although we were drugged, I'm willing. You already agreed to be with me. Even if you don't remember, you can't go back on your word." He held Ellie tightly and coaxed her gently, whispering in her ear. "Ellie, let's get married."

Ellie calmed down after the initial shock. However, when she heard the word "married", she pushed Alex away with wary eyes. "Whether what you said is true or not, I can't agree to marry you."
