When Ivy woke up again, she found herself in the ordinary clinic's ward. Her mother and Lilith were sitting on either side of her, their eyes swollen.

Seeing her wake up, Emma hurriedly said, "Don't get up, you need to rest."

Ivy rubbed her tired eyes and asked, "Where are Professor Alter and Professor Watson?"

"They've gone to City S," Lilith quickly replied, fearing that if she didn't explain things thoroughly, Ivy might try to rush to City S. She continued, "Professor Alter wants you to rest properly. Your back wound got infected, and you've been overworking yourself for several days, which led to fatigue and fever."

Ivy looked at the bright light outside the window and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"Just one night," Emma replied, tears streaming down her face. She continued, "Ivy, please listen to me and rest properly. You're my only family. If something happens to you, what will I do?"

"Mom..." Ivy looked at her worried and tired mother, feeling a pang of pain in her he

    On the other side, after packing her bags, Ivy took the high-speed train to City S. Emma initially wanted to drive her to City S, but Ivy declined.First, she wasn't so weak, and second, the two cities were not that far apart. The high-speed train only took 15 minutes. So, Ivy soon arrived at the City S high-speed train station, where she stood in the passenger drop-off area, preparing to take a taxi to the Mary Hospital City S Branch. Unexpectedly, she noticed an elderly man using a crutch.The elderly man stood alone in an empty corner, his gaze fixed ahead, occasionally looking around, and frequently checking his watch with a very anxious expression.Ivy thought for a moment, then approached him and offered her assistance. "Sir, are you waiting for someone?"Andy turned his head upon hearing this, observing Ivy and constantly comparing her with his wife and daughter who had run away from home. Yes, there was a faint resemblance in her features."Sir?""Yes," Andy snapped back to re

    "Mr. Livingston, are you okay?" Ivy looked at him with concern.Andy shook his head, his throat growing increasingly dry. "Emma..." he repeatedly whispered his daughter's name, and his eyes reddened with emotion. It had been decades since he had seen his daughter. "Is your mother all right?"Hearing this, Ivy’s tone turning serious. "Do you have some kind of personal connection with my mother?"Andy asked once more, "Do you have a photo of your mother? Can I see it?"Ivy’s voice stern, said, "Sir, you're crossing a line here. Unless you have your daughter with you, your actions are an invasion of privacy."Andy, returning to his senses, apologized and pulled out a yellowed, creased photograph from his pocket, handing it to Ivy carefully.Ivy looked at the photo of a family of three and then back at Andy. She could confirm that the handsome young man in the photo was Andy, but who were the young woman and the child she was holding?"Do you have any recollection?" Andy looked at her wit

    "Mr. Livingston!" Ivy held him, her voice trembling, completely forgetting that she was a doctor.Uncle Jim immediately lifted Andy and rushed to the emergency room, instructing Ivy to find a doctor.Soon, the doctor came out of the emergency room and reassured Ivy. "He's okay, he just passed out due to excessive excitement. He'll wake up soon."Uncle Jim's anxiety lessened as he heard this, and he looked at Ivy. "It's time to change your address, Miss."Ivy was startled, realizing that she was still holding the report of the paternity test.Returning to reality, she looked at the man who had just fainted and realized that he was her grandfather.As for her mother...Ivy could only imagine the headache she'd have when discussing this with her mother. With a heavy heart, she called her mother."Mom, what are you doing?""Ivy, I'm just sorting through things I brought from the old house. We're moving to the new house soon, so I thought it's time for a fresh start. I didn't expect to fin

    The safe was opened in front of everyone.What caught their eyes was a delicate little wooden box.How small was it? Harry and Amara estimated it to be about the length and width of a comb, no taller than the size of a pinky finger.Could a box like this hold an inheritance? Was the inheritance a bank card with a huge amount of cash?Without guessing too much, Amara tugged at Harry's sleeve, signaling him to urge Emma.Harry made a clicking sound, and he shouted at Emma impatiently, "Stop dawdling! Get on with it!"Ivy turned to give him a stern look, which momentarily silenced him. Remembering the inheritance, he kept his mouth shut.After Emma calmed her emotions, she slowly opened the box.Inside was an old, yellowed photograph. In the black and white picture, a young couple sat on a couch with a little girl. The whole family was dressed in traditional style clothing. The man had long legs, the woman was elegant, and the little girl in the middle was smiling, looking sweet and happ

    Innocently, Ivy blinked her eyes and looked at him with a perplexed expression, showing a hint of pure innocence. "Not enough?"The man smirked, his lips curving. "What do you think?""..." This time, Ivy was left speechless."Well, how do you want it?"When Shawn heard her question, he was initially waiting for her with an intense look. However, he quickly surrendered, as he realized that in Ivy's world, love was just an added bonus.With a sigh, he became slightly despondent."Shawn..."Ignoring Ivy's call, he gripped the back of her head with one hand and held her cheek with the other, gently lifting her and capturing her lips. His voice, soft and nearly overflowing with sensuality, whispered, "Remember, this is how you should use your mouth from now on."Ivy allowed him to ravish her lips, as the man's kisses alternated between a gentle breeze and a wild, stormy downpour. Light and heavy, deep and shallow, she couldn't quite catch the rhythm, but she couldn't bring herself to push

  • Mr. Enigmatic's Spontaneous Bride   Family Reunion

    The Assistant quickly arranged a hotel nearest to the Livingston family's old residence for Shawn, as they awaited the family's reunion.On the other side, Ivy and her mother quickly arrived at the hospital. Uncle Jim had been waiting at the entrance, and when he saw the car come to a stop, his heart raced, and his eyes welled up with tears.The day they had been searching for their lost family was finally here.With this thought, Uncle Jim approached with quick strides. As the car door opened, he shouted with excitement, "Miss! Miss!"Emma had experienced this in her childhood, but those memories from her younger years had long faded. She had always been submissive under Harry's oppression. However, being treated with such respect by Uncle Jim now made her feel a little less apprehensive.It was Ivy who steadied her mother's trembling body.Supporting her mother's waist securely, Ivy said, "Mom, should I take you to rest for a moment?"Emma, calming down after the initial panic, whis

    It felt like a heavy blow to Ivy, and she couldn't find the words to respond."Last night, Uncle Jim called me and told me about the tumor in his brain. Regardless of whether it's benign or malignant, the surgery is very risky. The doctors say there's only a fifty-fifty chance.""So, you decided to come last night?" Ivy held her mother's arm tightly, watching her mother's tears fall. She hugged her mother tightly.Emma wiped her face and choked back her tears. "Actually, there's nothing to forgive in our family. Your grandma forgave him, and I have no reason not to. While on my way here, I tried to recall the scenes from when we weren't separated, and I faintly remember how good he was to me. After your grandma took me away, he spent decades looking for us, never had any other women in his life, and apart from adopting a godson, he had no other family. In recent years, he handed the company over to the godson and stayed at home, trying to find us through various channels. The doctor s

    Andy said he wanted to punish Kevin, and he wasn't just talking. As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Jim began to work diligently, understanding the message implicitly.First, he cut off communication with the Alter Group, catching them off guard.When representatives from the Alter Group inquired, Uncle Jim was blunt, "Your chairman and CEO have offended our old master's beloved. Do you still want to cooperate with us?""Beloved?" The public relations team from the Alter Group looked puzzled. When did Andy find a girlfriend? Didn't he say he would never marry and was still infatuated with his runaway ex-wife?How come?While the public relations team urgently searched for news about Andy's romantic life, Uncle Jim continued, "Just wait; H Capital will soon cooperate with DT Investment to crush you!"As he hung up the call with a smug expression, he turned back to the hospital room.Their boss was fondly watching his granddaughter, and the more he watched, the more he liked.

    At this moment, Jasson was kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped, and he was shocked to see Ivy's voice call. He almost threw the phone in fear. Trembling, he answered the call, hearing Ivy's voice as if it were celestial music. "Put the phone next to his ear." "Okay." Jasson immediately rose, disinfected himself, and entered the ward. He positioned the phone next to Shawn's ear. Then followed a prolonged silence. It was unclear how much time passed, but Ivy eventually spoke, "Shawn, didn't you say you wanted revenge? Didn't you express the desire to retrieve your mother's ashes from the Alter Group building? Why, now, do you wish to declare your intentions with death? Let me make this clear, Shawn, if you dare to die, I'll become a widow directly. I'll take your money and be with Roland, or better yet, I'll be with Dom. I'll have numerous children with him. When that happens, I'll bring them to your ashes and taunt you." "I went to England to consult Professor Watson on h

    “What are you standing there for? Save him, quick!” Luke was nearly frantic. Watching his boss in such a state, his premonition was extremely grim. The doctors arrived promptly, pushing the bed into the emergency room. The red light lit up, life and death hung in the balance, everything became an unknown. Luke's heart sank to the bottom. This reminded him of the early years when he and his boss had ventured in England. There were several times when his boss was on the brink of death, and he had repeated his unfulfilled revenge, telling him repeatedly, "You cannot die." However, now, Luke could not guarantee that Mr. Tate would be willing to listen to him because his most beloved person was gone. Without the anchor in life, the will to survive could dwindle, and trying to force him to live might harm him. Sure enough, after a day of rescue, a doctor walked out with trembling steps, looking extremely weak. "The patient's will to survive

    Unfortunately, Shawn was still too confident. While he was agonizing over how to win back Ivy's heart, Ivy, on the other hand, had already packed her bags and bid farewell to her family.Emma and Lilith cried with red and swollen eyes, wishing they could turn into pendants sticking to Ivy."Three months, just three months. My child will come out four months later. I don't care; you must come back and accompany me. In case I have a difficult delivery, you can still sign documents for me."Ivy immediately covered her mouth with her hand, "What are you saying? It's so inauspicious. My godson will definitely be healthy."Lilith pouted and kept wiping away tears, "I don't know why I feel so sad. You're obviously coming back, just for three months, but I feel like you're going away for thirty years.""Okay." Ivy was amused by her words, "If you keep talking like this, even my grandfather will cry."Lilith stopped talking, and Ivy hugged Emma, who was quietly sobbing on the side. Feeling emo

    After Jasson left, he called Amy. He had seen this divorce lawyer a few years ago. She had no significant family background but had carved out a path for herself with stubbornness and hard work. She was not to be underestimated. "Get ready, come over, let's discuss the details of the divorce," Jasson said to Amy. Amy, who had initially wanted to start a fight, was instantly pacified by Jasson's words. After setting a time with Jasson, Amy turned to call Ivy. "I've scheduled a meeting with him to discuss the divorce details tomorrow at 10 a.m. I'll bring my team there to create a scene. You and Roland should leave quickly," Amy told Ivy. "Thank you," Ivy replied sincerely. 10 a.m. was the time the nanny went out to buy groceries. At that time, she would dress up as the nanny and leave the Livingston family. Since the day she returned to the Livingston family, Dom had informed her that Shawn's people were watching for the moment she left. So, Ivy had no choice but to choose thi

    Roland felt her anger was inexplicable, "Shawn hasn't done anything wrong, right? It's just that he used the wrong approach..." He shouldn't have said this. The moment he uttered those words, he immediately touched a nerve with Amy. "You understand nothing!" Amy scolded, "I've encountered too many cases like this. Nasty men say and do everything in the name of love, but the premise of love is built on making the other person happy. Look at Dr. Jones, is she happy?" Roland hung his head guiltily. "In the end, this self-righteous, domineering CEO style is just to please himself, to move himself. The woman gains nothing, and yet, because of this foolish behavior, she's forced into internal conflict, wasting time." Roland silently swallowed the tea in his mouth, feeling that something was not quite right. Although Shawn was his rival in love, was he really deserving of such criticism? "Indeed, his personality has some issues, but h

    An hour later, Jasson arrived at the county clinic. As soon as he reached the entrance, Lilith carried a basin of water and poured it directly on his face, turning him into a drenched chicken. "Get lost!" "Hey, don't do this!" Jasson, seeing her pregnant belly, didn't dare to resist. "Put down the water bucket, be careful with your belly!" Lilith was still not satisfied. "Alyssa, go!" Without a second word, Alyssa also poured the water from the basin on Jasson's face. Patients and their families on the road stopped to watch, shocked. It looked like a disturbance, but not quite. "Quick, stop it, come with me." Jasson grabbed Lilith's hand and walked towards the clinic, but Lilith resisted and shook him off. Helpless, Jasson, afraid that something might happen to her, directly lifted her horizontally and rushed into the emergency room. "Doctor, my wife is having a premature birth, move aside, every

    At this moment, in the hospital room, Shawn had just finished surgery and was feeling weak. He hoped to listen to the work report and then rest. However, Assistant Luke, to express his dissatisfaction, dragged out a half-hour report into a three-hour one. Closing the laptop, Assistant Luke concluded, "Above is our report. As the executive assistant to the CEO of DT Investment, I will take a half-day off." Shawn nodded in agreement. However, after waiting for a few minutes without Assistant Luke leaving, there was confusion in Shawn's dark eyes. Assistant Luke said, "In the next period, Lawyer Brown and I will jointly criticize Mr. Tate in our private capacities." Shawn: "..." "Shawn, are you really not cherishing your life?" Jasson was the first to speak, "Being kidnapped is such a serious matter. Instead of thinking about protecting yourself and minimizing the harm, you're hurting yourself. What's going on in your head!" Shawn

    By evening, after completing her statement, Ivy walked out of the room. Lilith and Emma were waiting outside. "Are you okay?" The two of them anxiously looked around until they were sure that Ivy was safe before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Ivy shook her head and asked Lilith, "How is he?" "He's fine." Lilith couldn't hide her joy. "Just now, Jasson sent a message saying he has woken up. After he fell into a coma, someone set a trap for DT Investment, exposing his identity to the public and spreading rumors about his time in England. They were trying to short-sell DT Investment. Fortunately, Assistant Luke and Jasson stabilized the situation. Now, we're just waiting for a counterattack." Hearing this news, Ivy's suspended heart finally settled. Looking at her mother's tender gaze, she felt apologetic. "I'm sorry, Mom. Because of Shawn, Grandpa's banquet and the foundation's establishment ceremony were postponed again and again. It's r

    Andy and Dom stood at a distance, looking at the mother and daughter with a sense of sentimentality and bitterness. "This Cato has offended me!" Andy fiercely poked the ground with his cane. "Letting my Ivy exhaust herself like this every day. Even if Ivy forgives him in the future, I won't!" With that, he turned around and glared fiercely at Luke, then turned and left. This look almost sent Luke away. He had been with his boss in the business world for so many years, witnessing countless ruthless characters and glares, but he had never been so afraid before. Mr. Tate... is in danger! Just as Luke was afraid, the surgical lights dimmed. Shawn was the first to be pushed out. Ivy, with red eyes, ran to the bedside, looking at him weakly unconscious, feeling heartbroken. Several lead surgeons walked out afterward, taking off their masks. They all looked tired but visibly relieved. "Fortunately, everything is safe. Please r
