Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 This Wasn’t Just A Fall, Ella!

Linsey, brought back to the present, gently guided Collin toward the coffee table.

Ella, her steps a little shaky, approached with a pot in her hands, carefully pouring coffee into a cup.

As she reached for the second cup, her hand trembled noticeably.

Suddenly, the cup slipped from her grasp, shattering on the floor.

“Oh dear, I’m so sorry!” Ella exclaimed, startled, and instinctively bent down to pick up the broken pieces.

Linsey quickly helped her back to her seat and knelt down to gather the shards herself. “Ella, I’ll get this,” Linsey said gently.

After clearing away the broken pieces, Linsey heard Ella chuckle weakly. “I guess I’m not as young as I used to be,” she

apologized.

Linsey looked at Ella, about to offer some reassurance, but then she noticed several distinct scars on Ella’s wrist.

Alarmed, Linsey reached out and gently tugged at Ella’s sleeve. “What happened to your wrist?” she asked, concerned.

Ella flinched, startled, and instinctively tried to hide her wrist. Her expression turned evasive. “Oh, it’s nothing,” she said casually. “Just a little accident.”

Linsey knew Ella well enough to recognize that she was lying.

Linsey’s expression hardened. “Don’t lie to me,” she insisted. “Let me see.”

Ella hesitated for a moment but finally loosened her grip on her sleeve.

Linsey carefully rolled up Ella’s sleeve, and her face fell.

Ella’s arm was covered in dark bruises and cuts, a sight that filled Linsey with worry.

“This wasn’t just a fall, Ella! Have you seen a doctor?” Linsey asked, her voice filled with concern.

Before Ella could answer, Linsey sighed in frustration. “Of course, you haven’t,” she muttered. “I should have known.”

Ella always prioritized the children, even to the point of using her own savings to support the orphanage.

Collin’s voice broke the tension, calm yet firm. “Ella, if you’re injured, you should get it looked at. It’s still early–why don’t we swing by the hospital and get you checked out?”

Linsey shot Collin a grateful look.
