Chapter 58

 Ellen suddenly jolted from her slumber when the taxi pulled over outside their home.

 She alighted the car before lifting her eyes towards the glaring moon up the sky. It was brightly shining but for some unknown reasons it gave her an eerie feeling.

 A sad feeling.

 Her heart suddenly felt weirdly heavy and stuffy.

 Vague images of an unfamiliar boy about 8-10 years old from her dream surged in her mind.

Her heart loudly and hurriedly started beating against her chest.

 She frowned and slowly lifted her white slender fingers and began to massage her forehead to ease the slight headache.

 It had been years since she felt that kind of a feeling.

 It was very weird. Her heart ached as if someone she held dear in her heart was in trouble.

 Her eyes fell on the Song siblings bantering about something and the children beside the old Song Wei who had just alighted from another cab.

 Everyone was okay and lively. The children were doing fine.

 Sherry had a huge stupid smile on her tiny face declaring how her search was finally over after she found the most extremely handsome man back in the restaurant.

 Now all that was left was to make herself a tall and beautiful woman so that she'd marry him as soon as possible.

 Ellen's lips twitched before her heart suddenly stiffened.

 She felt a certain deja Vu in those words.

 ' Once baby becomes a beautiful tall woman, baby will marry you... '

 The words were unfamiliar but oddly felt familiar.

 " Strange... "

 After pondering for a while, she shrugged off still in confusion.

 *

 Contrast to her earlier melancholy, the mood turned blissful when Lucas, a friend of theirs called.

 The lively mood as they video chatted was different in the Li mansion.

 They were reprimanding the irresponsible nurse who never turned up for her work. The old madam was displeased with the nurse mostly because she never approved of her in the first place. She, like her grandson Li Zixuan, hated the presence of strangers in her home.

 Bai Chun, Zixuan's mother thought differently.

 " Let's not just jump into conclusions. She's definitely a responsible person, something must have occurred. "

 Chen Yu clenched her chopsticks as her lowered eyes darkened before she revealed a smiling face.

 " Aunt's right, maybe something came up. "

 Li Lihua who was rarely seen at home rolled her eyes at her before sending food to her mouth.

 " How unprofessional can she get, doesn't she know how to call? "

 Ellen who was clueless about their talk was busy stuffing her already full stomach with Sichuan fish with some side dishes that the old man had prepared for dinner.

 His cooking skills never failed to amaze her. His dishes gave a different kind of elation that she always looked forward to. She happily ate without an idea that her fate had already been sealed by the Lis the following day.

 When she went to the Li mansion, she was sent home by the Li matriarch. She had been replaced. She found Jin Meiyin whom she previously had an altercation with back in the hospital, massaging the old woman's shoulders with a huge smug on her face. Her eyes were shining with contempt and ridicule. She looked as if she was saying, ' b*tch who won in the end? '

 The old woman who had been fed with a lot of information about Ellen said that she didn't want a promiscuous woman without any qualifications, who slept around to get to her position.

 As one would expect of Ellen, she was neither furious nor bothered about anything. She acted nonchalantly even as she went to their restaurant to test Wu Chan's cooking.

 The former waiter had mentioned that he loved cooking thus old Song decided to give him a shot.

 Ellen was unbothered with the Li matters since she knew that they'd come looking for her. In fact, she hadn't even left the taxi when Hua Chen called her asking if there was any problem because Mrs Li had called him earlier that morning enquiring about the same thing.

 Shortly afterwards, Mrs Li came to the restaurant and constantly apologized for Ellen's awful treatment begging her to go back.

 Ellen wasn't one to keep grudges. She agreed. Besides, the old doctor Hua Chen asked her the favor. Accepting the old woman's case wasn't because she was in any need of cash but simply because he had asked her to do it. She seemed arrogant but she knew who her people were and how to treat them.

 She couldn't reject the person who saved her son's life when he was dying from a heart failure, when he was just 3 years old.

 The operation was highly risky but the old man considering his age still managed to do a successful heart transplant for Liam. Ellen would forever be grateful for that.
