Harriet argued her case calmly and confidently, while Ellsworth

lowered his head, his eyes coldly fixed on her.

He remained silent for a long time.

He found himself unable to refute what Harriet had just said.

After looking down at Harriet for a while, Ellsworth said coldly,

“Get some rest early.”

With that, he turned and walked toward the door, opened it, and

left.

Lying on the hospital bed, Harriet watched Ellsworth’s departing

figure, watched the door close, then put down the book in her

hand and turned her face toward the window.

It was already dark outside; neither stars nor the moon could be

seen.

She hadn’t intended to argue with Ellsworth, but hisment about her ‘growing wings‘ had truly embarrassed her.

She didn’t want to never stand up for herself, to let others

Chapter205

In fact, she didn’t really need to depend on Ellsworth.

After gazing silently out the window for a while, Harriet turned

back, picked up her book, and continued reading without a

word.

Meanwhile, outside in the hospital corridor.

Ellsworth hadn’t left; after closing the door, he sat slouched on

a bench outside.

His legs were casually crossed and stretched out, the back of

his head resting against the wall as he looked up at the ceiling,

then let out a long sigh.

After sitting there lost in thought for a while, he straightened up,

took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, and lit one for

himself.

He had rarely seen Harriet argue with others before, and never

imagined that one day she would stand up to him like this.

He had seen so much goodness and gentleness in Harriet, had

grown used to her tolerance toward him.

Chapter205

Ellsworth had forgotten that Harriet was a normal person too,

that she could have a temper and emotions.

The next morning, Patsy came to bring Harriet breakfast.

Ellsworth was no longer in the corridor; he had already gone to

thepany.

Not long after Patsy left the hospital, Kelsey arrived.

She brought two boxes of bird’s nest, some fruit, and a bouquet

of fresh flowers.

Knocking on the door anding in, Kelsey greeted her with a

big smile: “Hara, are you feeling better?”

Harriet was tidying up her things. Hearing Kelsey’s voice, she

turned around and replied politely, “Kelsey.”

Seeing this, Kelsey quickly put down what she had brought and

came over to support Harriet: “Hara, you’re injured, why are you

still doing things yourself? You should rest.”

She added, “You want to tidy up here, right? Let me do it. You sit

down and rest.”

Chapter205

When it came to appearances and social skills, few could

surpass Kelsey.

No one wants to offend a smiling face.

In response to Kelsey’s politeness, Harriet said gently, “Thank

you.”

After helping Harriet tidy up the cab, Kelsey sat down on the

nearby sofa, looked at her warmly, and said, “I’ve wanted ito /ivisit

you for days, but Ells wouldn’t let me, afraid it would disturb

your rest.”

Harriet poured Kelsey a cup of tea: “It’s nothing serious. I’ll be

discharged after my injection tomorrow.”

Taking the tea from Harriet, Kelsey said with a sigh, “It seems

like everyone has a lot going ontely. My grandmother has

also been ill these past two days. Ells went to see herst

night.”

Harriet smiled lightly and said, “The elderly need to be taken

care of, especially as they get older.”

Hearing Harriet’s words, Kelsey’s attitude suddenly shifted. She

looked at Harriet cautiously and asked, “Hara, how far along are

you and Ells with the divorce proceedings?”

Chapter205

She quickly exined, “I’m not trying to rush you, it’s just that

my grandmother is getting old and not in good health. She

hopes to see Ells and me get married soon.”

With Kelsey’s words, Harriet immediately understood the real

reason for her visit.

Putting down the teapot, Harriet said calmly, “Kelsey, you

should ask Ellsworth about this. I’ve already signed the papers.

If you can, I hope you can help persuade Ellsworth as well.”

Harriet had long stopped caring about Kelsey and Ellsworth’s

affairs.

She was determined to separate from Ellsworth. If Kelsey could

help persuade him, she would be grateful.

Grateful that she could be freed from this unbearable marriage.

With Harriet making her position clear, Kelsey smiled and said,

“Alright, I’ll talk to Ellster. That way you won’t waste your

youth, and I’ll help you look for a suitable guy as well.”

Harriet replied, “You don’t need to worry about that, Kelsey. I

want to focus on my work right now.”

When Harriet mentioned work, Kelsey suddenly seemed to

remember something and said, “By the way, Hara, how’s the pay

and benefits at Gxy Innovations?”
