Chapter 254
254 Returning to the Mental Hospital
Today is Ella’s last day in this house. Nathan could only look at Ella with a look of disappointment, but couldn’t stop her.
Ella walked over to him and poured him a glass of milk. “Drink more.”
“Old woman, are you going to see me later?” Nathan did not take the glass of milk. He looked at Ella with a displeased look.
Ella nodded firmly. “I will visit you.”
There was a smile on Ella’s face and Nathan knew it was a parting smile. Nathan tried to persuade her to stay here, but he knew that his efforts were in vain.
Ella is not happy in this house.
And Nathan saw with his own eyes how cruel his father was to Ella.
The dining room was filled with a warm atmosphere, as if there would be no farewell between them.
Nathan spent the last hours with Ella, making the most of every remaining second. In the afternoon, he took Ella to his room and opened a small drawer. He took out some of the money he had collected and gave it to Ella.
.....
“This is my savings and I want to give it to you.”
Ella would not accept it. “I have money.”
How could Ella take the money of a 5 year old child? Did she look that poor to get help from a small child?
However, Nathan did not accept any refusal and instead threatened Ella. “If you don’t accept it, I will tell father that you want to leave.”
“Nathan, you...” Ella’s voice caught in her throat.
She could see that Nathan was holding back his tears.
Ella had been with Nathan for a long time and this was the first time she had seen the fat boy cry.
“Don’t cry. We will meet again next time. I’ll take you for ice cream. I know a really good ice cream shop.”
Nathan’s mood improved a little when he heard about good food.
He nodded and let Ella wipe the tears from her face.
“You... When you hear something delicious, you are immediately happy,” Ella said, pinching Nathan’s nose. Ella smiled and stroked her head.
Ella changed into the clothes she bought with her own money earlier. She brought a small bag containing her belongings, as well as money from Nathan. Besides, she didn’t need to bring anything with her.
The cell phone she had now was a gift from Christian. She left it with the necklace, ring, shirt, bag and all the things Christian had bought for her.
She didn’t take anything with her.
Standing in the middle of her room, Ella felt that she had nothing in this world.
She’d been with Christian for quite some time, but she’d gotten nothing.
No- She got scars all over her body. And she got a fresh wound in her heart.
Ella can’t bear to see Christian marry another woman. And when Ella confronted Christian about the matter, Christian didn’t say anything. Not denying it is the same as admitting it.
She didn’t want to wait and let reality hit her hard. She’d better go and mend her own heart.
After thinking for a moment, Ella left a message.
‘Goodbye, Christian.’
-At three in the afternoon.
Suddenly, the screams of the maids were heard from outside. “There’s fire! The young master is still there. Quickly get some water and put out the fire!”
Christian’s back yard is filled with flowers and trees. In addition, there was a small wooden house built for Nathan so that he would not be bored at home.
The butler immediately became restless when he heard the news. The fire that devoured the house was so great that he could not find his young master. He called everyone to put out the fire.
Ella opened the door and saw two bodyguards still standing guard at the door. “Are you not going to help?”
The bodyguard bowed before Ella and said, “Master told us to protect you.”
“What danger will there be to me here?” Ella looked annoyed and looked at them coldly. “Your young master has still not been found. Aren’t you worried about him? Are you still loyal to your master? Why do you guys do nothing when the young master of this house is in danger?”
Ella’s resolute aura took the bodyguards by surprise.
Then, another scream came from outside. “Has the Young Master been found? Quickly search for him!”
Ella looked at them with anger. “If you don’t want to go, then let me find Nathan.”
“Miss!” The guard was helpless. The two of them exchanged glances and finally said, “Miss, please just wait here. Let us find the young master.”
After that, the two bodyguards ran towards the back garden.
Right now, only Ella was left at home.
Ella looked at the big house once more and took her bag to get out of there.
She walked down from the top floor and headed straight for the front gate.
She didn’t panic at all because no one would notice she was gone.
The housing estate’s security guard saw Ella who was walking alone and then averted his eyes. He was used to seeing Ella walking alone, even saw her go to the bus stop a few times.
This was a common sight for him.
Fearing Christian would find her, Ella had booked a taxi in advance. The taxi was waiting for her in front of the housing gate.
Ella breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she got into the car. The car was like a shelter for her, even if only for a while.
“Go to this place.” As soon as she told him the address she was going to, the taxi driver looked at Ella in surprise.
“Miss, that place...”
“Right,” Ella immediately nodded and interrupted the driver’s question. Then, her gaze fell on the view outside the window.
She didn’t want any more questions.
The place where Ella went was the mental hospital that had been her prison for five years.
The asylum made the streets around her deserted. There are rarely places to eat or restaurants. There are only a few burly men guarding the area.
Christian knew that Ella had had so many bad experiences there that he would never have thought that Ella would return to the place she hated the most.
How ironic. The place she once hated the most would now become her shelter.
Ella’s cold attitude made the driver frown. “Miss, you...”
“If you want to live long, don’t ask too many questions.” The driver immediately shuddered when he heard Ella’s words. He quickly stepped on the gas.
Did he just take a crazy person as a passenger today?
Before getting out of the car, Ella gave him some money and said, “If you want to live in peace, go home now. Don’t leave the house for five days. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences.”
“Aaa -” the driver nearly lost his soul from being so frightened.
Ella looked at the mental hospital from the car’s window and took a deep breath.
Her gaze was fixed on that hell-like place, but this time with a smile on her face. “It’s been a long time since I last stayed here.”
