Alex x was taken aback.

Ellie wrenched her wrist free, grabbed a tissue, and wiped the orange juice stain off the blanket. So continued their silent standoff-Ellie ignoring him, and Alex sulking. She originally thought a single night of caregiving would be all, but Nancy didn't cto the hospital for two or three days.

Not only did Ellie have to treat Alex, m but she also had to keep him company and manage his micals. On top of that, Alex kept purposely making things difficult for her, leaving her exhausted and overwhelmed.

Every tshe wanted to just walk away, she remembered the director's promise to consider her for a permanent position. She gritted her teeth and endured everything.
