In fact, if Ellen were to forget about her special feelings for Flint, she still couldn't bear to do it because she didn't want to let him go. If Flint wasn't in her life now, she would feel lonely and perhaps even now she still feels like her life is full of misery because everyone hates her. Since Flint first reached out her hand when everyone hated her, that was the first time she started to like Flint.
