Henry repositioned the phone by his ear . "I probably couldn"t be more grateful that you chose racing instead of college . Seeing how well it has gone for you, it"s a relief that you"re not stuck in some office trying to solve some useless person like me"s problems . "
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"I don"t doubt you would be unable to take care of your problems if you put your mind to it . You take care of everyone and everything around you . I was surprised that you after the marriage even took care of me . "
"Don"t expect anything from me, Ellie . I can"t have that from you . "
The line cut and Ellie looked at the dead phone in her hands . She put it back on the stand and put her hands around her knees as she curled up into a ball . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
There was a knock on the door . Ellie made a low sound to indicate the person could come in and was surprised to see that it was Michael who was holding the door open for a young woman . Ellie straighened herself with surprise as Michael bowed . "I apologize profusely madam, but this lady has been here before and as you did not give me permission to disinvite her, I have given her a liberty this once, if you please . "
Olga smiled with her beige handbag strung between tightly held fingers as she smiled thinly in her office dress . Ellie nodded at Michael who closed the door behind him . Olga put her bag on a table while she took a seat on the armchair closest to where Ellie was seated on the bed .
Ellie stood up and began to pace . She had a hand on her chin as she walked back and forth . She turned to Olga with an apologetic smile . "I"m sorry that I have a lot on my mind . Henry called me from work after talking to the Wong family lawyer . I"m trying to remember what I can from my pre-law cla.s.ses and piece it together with the little google searches I"ve done throughout these last couple days . It is complicated . " Ellie tripped and caught herself on the edge of the voluminous bed . Her hands dipped down into the generous foam . It forced her into a strange position so she grunted . Then Ellie moved back to the bed and curled up into a ball of anxious nervous . "I"ll have to take my physical therapist a bit more seriously when he says I shouldn"t move around . I wish I could regain my strength more quickly, but it takes time . "
Olga took one of the underarm crutches on the back of her seat and tested it in her hands . She smiled as she waved it around . When she seemed satisfied with it"s st.u.r.diness she offered it to Ellie . "These seem really nice . You should make you of these, I"m sure Michael would see this an an excellent reason to throw me out if you fall loudly while I"m sitting here . I don"t think he likes me very much . "
