Chapter 1018:
Even during the transfer, Yelena remained on high alert. Alina had escaped, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t return.
She remained vigilant, knowing that everyone’s safety depended on her unwavering attention.
Once Domenic and Austin were settled, Yelena returned to Domenic’s previous ward.
Her eyes swept over the wreckage, her chest tightening with simmering anger.
This wasn’t the end. It was only the beginning.
Forcing herself to focus, she made her way to another room—Brody’s. By the time she arrived, the surgery had already been completed. The bullet had been removed without complications.
For now, he was resting under the lingering effects of anesthesia. Yelena stood by his bedside, studying his unnaturally pale face. A deep furrow settled between her brows.
Then—footsteps. Quick, purposeful. She turned just as Ellen appeared in the doorway.
Their eyes met, and for a brief second, surprise flickered in Ellen’s gaze. But she quickly masked it, striding toward Yelena with a huff. “I knew you’d be here. My brother was worried about you. He told me to come check on you p>
Yelena arched a brow. She had told Austin she’d be here, which meant… Ellen hadn’t been sent by him.
“If you’re that worried about me, just admit it,” Yelena said calmly.
Ellen froze for a moment, a flicker of something unreadable flashing in her eyes. Her fingers instinctively tightened around the hem of her clothes as she stammered, “W-Who said that? I don’t care about you p>
As soon as the words left her mouth, Ellen quickly turned her head away, desperate to conceal the embarrassment creeping onto her face. Regret flashed across her expression, as if she was already second-guessing her decision to come here in the first place. “Forget it. I’m going back to my brother’s room p>
Yelena watched her retreating figure, and suddenly, a thought struck her.

Yelena’s eyes narrowed as she stared at Ellen, a dangerous glint flickering in them. She recalled the recent events and realized that each time Ellen was nearby, those unidentified individuals could always easily locate them.
This pattern made Yelena suspicious of Ellen.
However, Ellen seemed unaware of Yelena’s suspicions. She noticed Yelena deep in thought and assumed she was either upset with her or about to confront her. Nervously, she fidgeted with her shirt, her eyes showing a hint of defensiveness.
“Yelena, why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?” Ellen asked tentatively.
Yelena shook her head but didn’t answer directly.
Ellen’s heart raced. She looked at Yelena warily, her voice trembling. “What… what are you going to do p>
Yelena remained silent, reaching out to touch Ellen.
Ellen screamed and jumped back, pointing at Yelena as she stammered, “What… what are you doing? Don’t touch me!” She regarded Yelena as if she were a threat.
Nonetheless, Yelena was resolute, grabbing both of Ellen’s hands. Yelena suspected that if something was indeed wrong with Ellen, there must be some clues.
After a thorough search, Yelena found a miniature tracking device in Ellen’s pocket. The tracker was incredibly small, which explained why it had gone undetected until now.
