Chapter 410 "Why didn't you answer any of my calls?" Limping and holding the railing at the stairway, Alex glared at Ellie.

"I was busy," Ellie casually replied, trying to brush past Alex to head back to her room.

Without warning, Alex wrapped his arm around Ellie's waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Startled, Ellie instinctively pushed him away. "Let go of me," she demanded.

Alex tightened his grip, with his eyes landing on the small medical box in Ellie's hand. "What's in the box?" he asked.

"Acupuncture needles,” Ellie replied. Then, she wrenched herself free and made a quick escape.

"I called you a thousand times today, but you didn't pick up once You're so heartless,” he accused.

"Cto my room. I need to talk to you," Alex added, his voice dripping with suggestive intent, which made e feel her face heating up and her heart racing.

Trying to shrink away from his lips, Ellie said, "Can you letgo and talk?" "I want to hold you," Alex replied, with his voice lowering unconsciously.

Before Ellie could finish, Alex swept her off her feet, carrying her toward the master bedroom.

"Alex, your leg is still injured. Putdown," Ellie screamed, clinging desperately to the stair railing in horror.

After she cback to the Warren Manor, she noticed that Alex was acting even more flirtatiously toward her, and his gaze seemed almost feverish.

In a panic, Ellie opened the small box in her hand, took out a needle, and stabbed it into one of the acupuncture points on Alex's body.

The next second, they both tumbled onto the floor in the hallway.

'Before Ellie could get up, she watched in horror as Alex rolled down the stairs without any sign of struggle.

The acupuncture point that Marvin had taught her today was supposed if hit to make a person faint instante correctly. But Alex's condition clearly indicated a stroke-like symptom. Ellie wondered, 'Did I hit the wrong point?' Everyone in the house rushed out at the commotion.

Seeing Alex's twisted face and splayed hand, Evan slapped his thigh in shock. "Mr. Warren, what happened to you?"

Todd looked at Alex and turned beet red with anger. "Good-for-nothing. He can't get himself hurt by others, but he sure knows how to mess things up for himself."

Nancy looked at Ellie, who was sitting paralyzed beside Alex and asked in confusion, Elie, what on earth is going on with him?" Ellie was too shocked to respond.
