The quiet that followed did not feel awkward as both continued to eat the cookies that Henry had brought. He watched her steady steps with a careful vigilance, in case he needed to alert the nursing staff. But, as Ellie continued to walk she did not seem to be pushing herself too hard. She knew how much she could take. It was a good trait to have and Henry was glad that she had come out to get some exercise. He had never gotten into a serious accident so he did not know if this type of behavior was to be commended. He suppose either way it was working out quite well for Ellie. It was a nice change to see her more sporty size. The clothing she had on was what had been in the plastic hospital bag that Nolan had brought when she had arrived in the house on a stretcher. It was a good change to see after a while of knowing her. The clothing had obviously been from before the accident so it was quite loose in the chest and waist areas. The back of the pants also had a bit of a fold. She looked anorexic in the clothing as it made her look much too small in their oversize. As she tittered on her crutches Henry caught her. She shook him off and continued. Henry looked at her figure that he could see and realized it wasn't malnourishment, but more a body trying to put back weight on slowly. Ellie wasn't quite where she would look healthy but she did look less like a sapling about to die and more like a young tree that had yet to bloom. Would she be beautiful at that time?

"When I was walking, I was thinking about what your family's lawyer told us the day before. I spent some time looking words up and reading yesterday. I was trying to understand more." Ellie began slowly. 

"I have made a similar effort as this is all quite new to me. I'm not too familiar with marriage and getting out of being married. I found it odd when he spoke. His choice of words did not really make sense to me. Chou didn't ask anything about the basis for which we are getting annulled. In law, that is something that can be quite important. But he was more interested in ways we could convince the right judge to grant it to us quickly. I don't disagree, but I did find it strange."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

His walking partner narrowed her eyes before shrugging. "I'm sure it is nothing to worry about. Chou has served your family for three generations in legal matters. He is probably used to dealing with your father a bit more than he is with dealing with you. Your father may have preferred to only know the bare bones of legal issues whereas your style is different. You can speak with him about it if it really bothers you so much. But, my thoughts are that he does not want you to care too much about the backdoor dealings needed with this process."
