Ellie called the second his call with Kayden ended. Nico called Kayden right after his call with Ellie.
Gangsters usually had their ways in searching for someone, nevertheless, this was Kayden's woman,
he should be looking for her himself.
But it was Kerr that answered, he simply said noted and asked for the picture before hanging up.
Nico looked at his mobile feeling confused, just like this? He thought Kayden would begin a massive
search right away in hurry.
Nico didn't waste a second while waiting for Kayden's call. He took a closer look at the picture Ellie
sent, it was an old and abandoned youth hostel. It seemed empty like a haunted house, no wonder
Ellie was scared. Even for him, he would too be scared to see a haunted house in the dark out of
nowhere at midnight.
He looked at the picture repeatedly but had no clue. This kind of hostel could be seen almost
everywhere in Italy, and this was an abandoned one, no one would have remembered such a hostel.
Kayden's number appeared on Nico's screen approximately five minutes later.
"Hi, Kayden."
"He's busy, I've checked the place, it's a forest garden behind XX street. Go pick her up at once, you'll
be accountable for if anything happens to her."
"Okay, okay, noted," Nico replied immediately and walked out of the hospital right after the call ended.
Yahk worried about his arm injury and offered to drive, so both of them went out searching for Ellie.
"They are indeed the biggest underground gang, their efficiency is top-notch."
Nico grunted, they located her within such a short period, did they activated GPS used only by the
military? Nico had no idea that Kayden sent someone tailing Ellie from the very beginning, all Kerr
needed to do was to call and ask.
"You are the only one who didn't know about ZH Clan, I bump into countless gangsters who get injured
in a fight working as a doctor in ER. It is said that the young master of the ZH Clan was a powerful
person, connected to both police and gangsters. His businesses are wide and he's very well respected.
Kayden is his right-hand man, so of course, he is well capable too."
"Well, if he really is that good, why would he fall for someone like Ellie?" Nico doubted, shaking his
head. To him, Kayden was nothing but a moron with a little power in his hands.
"Ellie is quite proper; she has a sweet tongue and pretty face. You can't see the good side of her
because you don't like her," Yahk said.
Nico turned silent, he used to like women but after a series of tragedies… Nico sighed, it was better not
to think about the past, he should call Ellie now.
"Babe, are you alright? Where are you now?" He sounded so sweet that it gave Yahk goosebumps.
"I'm where I was, when will you arrive?" Ellie sounded sleepy and she even yawned.
"I'll be right there, babe, don't sleep, stand up and take a walk."
"But I'm sleepy, come right now," Ellie yawned again.
"I'm on my way, I'll arrive soon."
"Come at once, I'm going to take a nap…"
Nico looked at the navigator after hung up, "We are close, five more kilometres."
Yahk glanced at it and pressed on the gas pedal to speed up.
Ellie on the other hand was extremely sleepy; she had already hit the pillow long before this hour on
normal days. She was traumatized by all the fighting and dumping earlier today, so all she ever wanted
now was a good night's sleep and forget about everything.
She kept nodding off, her eyelids became heavier each second, she was losing her consciousness…
After some time, she felt her body was lifted out of a sudden and she fell into a warm embrace.
"Kayden…" Ellie leaned and rubbed her face against that chest lazily, like a well-eaten sleepy kitten.
She opened her eyes slowly but was extremely disappointed when she saw the man that embraced her
was not the man that would normally rush over to her with only a call.
Nico was very gentle, he looked at her passionately, "I'm sorry babe to have kept you waiting."
"Nico, you are here… I'm so sleepy waiting…" Ellie greeted him lazily.
She let out a light grunt, "Let's go back to the hotel, I'm sleepy."
"Sure." Nico carried her up and walked toward the car.
He went back to the passenger seat in front after putting her in the back seat.
Ellie changed to a more comfortable position the moment she was put on the seat. She then realized
there was someone else in the car. He looked familiar but she couldn't recall where they met. Well, all
foreigners looked alike, golden hair, blue eyes, all the same.
"You are?"
"Hey gorgeous, I'm Yahk, we've met at the hospital." Yahk smiled, revealing his shining white teeth.
Ellie recalled something but just that. She was dizzy now and had no time thinking about a handsome
man.
Yahk started the car and headed back to the hotel soon as Nico fastened his seatbelt.
Ellie yawned nonstop in the car, it made her eyes teary.
"How did you find me, Nico?" She asked curiously, blinking her watery eyes.
Nico smiled, "I asked a favour from a friend babe, take a nap if you are sleepy, I'll wake you up when
we arrived at the hotel."
Ellie nodded while yawning. She then tilted her head and fell asleep. She didn't even notice how she
got down the car and went into the hotel room.
Ellie felt a warm and severe headache the moment she opened her eyes the next morning.
Whoa! She touched her forehead and felt a burning sensation.
"Don't move babe, you have a high fever, don't you know?" Nico quickly approached from the balcony
realizing she had awakened as he put his mobile back in his pocket.
"What? Fever?" Ellie was quite emotional, she sounded like a rooster with a hoarse voice.
"Yes, 38.5 degrees." Nico sat beside the bed, put his hand on her forehead as he nodded, "It has
reduced, have the medicine and rest, you'll recover in no time."
'I'm burning despite it's reduced? Well, my forehead could've fried an egg earlier then?'
"How did I catch a fever…" She was always a healthy baby since little, let alone fever, she hardly even
sneezed.
"Perhaps your clothes were wet for a prolonged period, Yahk examined you, he said you are fine. He
went back to the hospital to get you some pills. Alright babe, be good and take a nap. I need to head
back to the studio. The director is waiting for me to do the post-production dubbing. Be good and wait
for me here, okay?" Nico said gently as he touched her cheek.
Ellie nodded obediently, "Make it quick, my dear."
Nico stroked her head before he went out.
Ellie pulled the blanket up until her neck; her shiny big eyes couldn't stop looking around.
Despite the headache, she had slept enough; it was torture having her lied on the bed doing nothing.
'Sigh, let's call Elaine, tell her I'm sick and make her worry.'
She then took out her mobile and called Elaine who was currently in Paris.
"Hello, Elaine."
"You little brat, where have you been? I've been worried, what took you so long to call me back? Why
didn't you answer my calls… don't keep fooling around out there, what if you encounter dangers…"
"Oh gosh, you are so annoying, I called once in a blue moon and you scolded me, that's it, I'm hanging
up."
"Wait, Ellie, Ellie…"
Ellie disregarded Elaine and hung up the call, feeling annoyed.
"What do you mean by fooling around? I'm working, okay!" Ellie mumbled and then called her friends
back home.
"Hey, it's me…"
"Hey Ellie, where are you? Why is it a foreign number…"
"I'm now in Italy…"
"Wow! Italy! Bring me something; I want cosmetics, clothes, and some Italian-made chocolates too!"
"Hold it there, you didn't even ask why I call and keep asking me to buy you stuff?"
"Alright then, why did you call?"
"I'm sick, could you show some care?" Ellie grunted and sounded sick.
"Oh, very well then. You are sick? Are you feeling better? Have you taken your pills?" She paused and
continued, "I've shown my concern, don't forget what I want, I want C perfume, pants from B, please
get it for me…"
Her words made Ellie unwell all of a sudden. She was sick but she kept making a buying list, what kind
of friend was she? She paused and said in displeasure, "Got it, I'll get it for you when I go back, if I
remember, bye."
"What kind of a friend are you? Am I begging for you to care?" Ellie looked gloomy. She then continued
browsing through her contact lists but couldn't find someone she could talk to after three pages. There
was no choice so she called her ex-boyfriend.
"Who is this that called early in the morning…" It was a female voice.
Ellie hung up instantly.
Ellie stared blankly at her mobile. 'I don't have many friends,' she thought. Or perhaps there was no
one she could talk heart to heart with.
Sorrow filled Ellie's heart all of a sudden. Perhaps Kayden was right, she was too playful, never
serious, kept fooling around. She always thought people should like her for her beauty and youth,
whenever she encountered a handsome-looking guy, she would declare him as her boyfriend with or
without his agreement. She bullied others at school since she had some power. Getting jealous of the
naive Elaine because she was everyone's favourite since young; she even blocked admiration letters
from others to Elaine and told her those letters were for her.
She realized how spoilt and badly she behaved, tears rolled down uncontrollably as she thought of this.
Someone entered the room at this moment.
"Hey gorgeous, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?" Yahk came in with a bunch of medicines.
Ellie disregarded him and continued crying, louder.
Yahk put down the medicines and approached her, "Are you alright?"
