Chapter 202
Ella had a long dream where someone’s face was obscured by fog. She tried desperately to chase after him, but he kept drifting further away, just beyond her reach.
When Ella opened her eyes, she found herself in the hospital. Yale was by her side, his eyes red and swollen from crying.
“It’s all my fault. I didn’t protect you. I didn’t even know that something had happened to you. I’m so sorry…”
Ella rubbed her aching temples. Her head still hurt. “I’m fine, right?”
Even if no one saved her at that time and she did not come to the company the next day, someone would still search for her. Reviewing the surveillance footage would reveal that she had gone to the snack street at the back of the hill
“Yale, who saved me last night?”
“I don’t know. You were alone when the ambulance arrived?
Did the one that saved her without telling her his name? Ella frowned tightly.
“Did something happen?”
“Nothing I met a very strange person.
Ella did not take it to heart. She had planned to visit Evvo overseas at the end of the month, and after the accident, she felt a stronger desire to sec him
If there was a steel bar in that pit, would she still survive once the steel bar pierced her artery or heart! At the thought of this, she felt a lingering fear, and she realized how much she valued her life and the time spent with her family.
As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, she went overseas to see Evvo..
She called Jenny in advance and rushed over before Evvo finished school.
The teacher took Evvo out. He was so delicate, resembling her more than Jaden, unbelievably good–looking.
When Evvo saw Ella, he couldn’t believe in His eyes lit up in an instant.
Evvo ran over quickly and plunged into her arms.
“Mama, why are you here! Is this a surprise?” Evvo looked at her excitedly.
Evvo appeared a bit younger than the typical three–year–old. He had been hospitalized until he was one year old and relied on medicine three times a day to stay alive. If anything went wrong, he would not have survived until now. He grew more slowly, so he looked somewhat thin.
Ella looked at her son, her heart almost melting. She hugged and kissed him repeatedly, savoring the faint fragrance on his skin.
“So, do you like this surprise, Evvo?”
“Yes! The more, the better!” Even Evyo jumped up in excitement.
Evvo held Ella’s hand and brought her to the teacher. “Teacher, this is my mommy.”
Then, he casually
ly passed by his classmates. “Hi, Charlie. This is my mommy”
Evvo put on a show of being experienced as he introduced. And Ella got to know his classmates,
Ella watched Evvo walk with his head held high down the street before he got into the car with satisfaction. As he chattered about interesting things at school. Ella listened with genuine enjoyment. Their conversation continued until they reached the branch office.
The branch office was small, with only a few core teams led by Jenny. Ella established it primarily to ensure Jenny could take good care of Evvo, allowing her to travel between the two countries without raising Jaden’s suspicions. Because she did not want Jaden to know about Evvo.
“You’re getting more and more beautiful!” Jenny could not help but praise, “Being best friends with a rich and beautiful woman like you puts a lot of pressure on me!”
“Cut it out. I heard from Evvo that you have many suitors here! You’re still single. Why don’t you get yourself a boyfriend?”
“I didn’t meet anyone that meets my conditions!” Jenny waved her hand.

Chapter 202
Ella knew Jenny had seen her fall in love multiple times but didn’t end well, which had left Jenny discouraged. Ella felt a heavy sense of responsibility for both Jenny’s well–being.
They ended the topic and went to eat. After the meal, Ella played games with Evvo, washed him up, and coaxed him to sleep.
Seeing her beloved Evvo sleeping peacefully in her arms nearly melted Ella’s heart. She tiptoed into the living room and saw that Jenny was still busy with work.
“Take a day off tomorrow. I’ll take you shopping as a perk.”
“Oh, now you know how to make up for me?” Jenny rolled her eyes jokingly.
“I want to thank you for taking care of my child.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m more than willing to help. Evvo is a good boy, and I like him very much. I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to experience being a mother without any pain. I’ve decided not to get married for the rest of my life. I’ll live freely and enjoy the world without the complications of a tense marriage or conflicts with in–laws. I’ll do whatever I want. Besides, your son is like my own, and I’ll have someone to care for me when I’m older. So, I’m doing this for myself, not just for you!”
“Why don’t we live together? Why do we need a bastard man?”
Ta woman like you”
“Alright, then I will count on you. The doctor said that I couldn’t work too much. I’m ready to live off
“No problem! But first thing first, we still have to go shopping tomorrow. Anyway, Evvo has class. We’ll go out and have fun on the weekend.”
“Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony then.
Jenny was not pretentious, buying whatever caught her eye without worrying about the price. She knew her best friend wasn’t short on money, Meanwhile, Ella browsed the latest products from various brands. When Jenny went to the restroom, Ella took the opportunity to send photos to Yale, hoping he could study the trends and find inspiration for their next project.
When Ella finished and still didn’t see Jenny, she felt a bit anxious. She hurried to check and found Jenny with a rash. Jenny, not noticing her, accidentally bumped into Ella.
“What are you looking at? Why are you so engrossed?”
“…I think I saw Jaden.”
As soon as Ella heard this name, Ella became nervous.
Before Ella could speak, Jenny quickly denied it. “No… that’s impossible. His figure is very different. The person I saw was a bit thin, wearing a monocle, and seemed to be blind in one eye. It couldn’t be Jaden. Jaden can’t be abroad right now. The man just looked similar, but he was far away. There was also a woman supporting him, which suggests they have an intimate relationship. So it
it’s just not possible.” Jenny convinced herself.
Ella felt a little helpless. “What’s
at’s wrong with you? Just a man looks similar? Why are you so nervonis?”
“Ella, it’s all because of you. If Jaden finds out that Evvo is still alive, it’ll be terrible. After all, Evvo belongs to you and that young man.” Jenny remained unaware of Evvo’s father’s identity. She believed Ella was hiding the truth about Evvo being alive to protect Jaden from potential harm, not wanting Jaden to find out. Ella had avoided discussing the past for years because it was always too painful for her to revisit.
“Then do you still want to go shopping?”
“Of course! I want to squander your money!”
Jenny pushed the matter to the back of her mind. None of them thought too deeply about it, as they all felt it couldn’t possibly be Jaden.
Jaden was powerful and influential, not a poor man who could end up like that strange man. They believed he could never fall into such a hopeless
mess.
