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

    Chapter205

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

    and benefits at Gxy Innovations?”
