Elliot grabbed the piece of bread and took a bite before turning his attention to Ivy and Robert. "It's cold out here. Go inside the tent."

"Dad, we aren't cold. Is Layla on top of that mountain?" Robert gazed up at the rescue team on the mountain.

"Yeah, she's up there," Hayden said. "Robert, take your sister into the tent."

Robert obeyed and grabbed Ivy's hand.

"Hayden, Dad, I'm not cold," Ivy said, wanting to see Layla as soon as she was rescued.

Despite what Ivy said, Robert dragged her into the tent.

"Ivy, have you noticed all the gray hair on Dad's head?" Robert had a clear view when he stood next to Elliot. "He didn't use to have so much gray hair. It's as though his hair turned gray overnight after hearing what happened to Layla."

Ivy had not been paying attention to her father's hair.

"I did notice that they seemed to have aged overnight," she said, tears welling in her eyes. "I used to think that they looked really young, and it felt like they would never age..."

    The bag in Avery's hand fell onto the ground.Hayden's voice grew even louder than before. "Is Layla there?! Layla should be with him!"The rescue team carefully moved Eric out of the way and found Layla further inside."We found her! Mr. Tate, we found your sister!" One of the members of the rescue team shouted excitedly and stretched his arm out to see if Layla was breathing.The temperature on the mountain was below zero, and though Layla's cheeks were cold, her neck remained warm, but since the rescuer's hand was trembling, he could not tell with certainty if Layla was breathing.Even if she was breathing, her breath was extremely weak."Mr. Tate... I am not sure if she's still alive!""Get them down first!" Hayden shouted, desperately wishing that he could climb up the mountain himself, but he could not.He did not love outdoor activities and was never good at them, so he simply grabbed a pair of binoculars from his assistant to monitor the situation. After a few moments,

    Ivy's words ignited hope within Avery.If a doctor determined that a patient was dead, they would not make any effort to save said patient. If one lost the ability to breathe air independently, and their pupils were dilated, there was no point in treating them. Just then, Hayden's phone beeped. Mike had sent him some photos. Mike went up with the rescue team to search for Layla, and he took a few photos of the scene when they found Layla and Eric. Since Mike had headed down the mountain, he finally had the chance to send Hayden the photos.Hayden zoomed in on the first photo and saw Eric's cheeks were blue and he was wearing nothing but a thin layer of clothes. "He couldn't have gone up to the mountain wearing just that…" Hayden thought and immediately clicked on the second photo of Layla.Layla seemed to be in far better condition compared to Eric, and it looked as though she was merely asleep. She was wrapped in a male down jacket, which Hayden assumed belonged to Eric.H

    "Dad, I will stay with Mom!" Ivy moved a chair so that she could sit next to the bed. She saw the tears still rolling down Avery's cheeks and knew that Avery must be regretting not supporting Layla in her pursuit of Eric.Had they agreed to the relationship, Layla and Eric might be planning their wedding by now. They would not have come all the way to Cambrode, and neither would they have been on that mountain when the avalanche occurred. Elliot let go of Avery's hand. "Let me know when your mother wakes up.""Of course," she said obediently. "Let me know when Layla comes out of the emergency room.""Sure."Time went by slowly, and Ivy started to doze off after she dried Avery's tears.Many thoughts drifted through her mind, but they flitted by so quickly that she should not grasp onto any one particular thought. In the end, she only focused on how much she wanted Layla and Eric to wake up.If Layla woke up to find out that Eric had died, both Avery and Layla would be trau

    Ivy opened her eyes and found herself on a bed and saw Robert next to her. "Robert. Robert! Why am I sleeping here? Where is Mom? What time is it?""It's nine. You were probably exhausted from watching over Mom and fell asleep next to her last night," Robert said. "So I booked another room for you to sleep in.""Has Mom woken up?" Ivy sat up, feeling more energized after sleeping. As soon as she mentioned her mother, she was reminded of Eric and Layla. "What about Layla and Uncle Eric? How are they?""Layla has stabilized but hasn't woken up. As for Uncle Eric... he isn't dead but is still in critical condition. The hospital does not have the ability to treat him… so Hayden has arranged for him to be sent to Bridgedale, and he accompanied Uncle Eric. Uncle Eric saved Layla's life, after all, so I'm sure Hayden is desperately trying to help Uncle Eric as well..."Ivy sighed a breath of relief, feeling glad that the two of them were alive."Mom woke up at seven this morning and went

    Tears instantly rolled down her cheek and it was a while before she could make a sound. "Don't cry, Honey. Eric isn't dead. He is alive for now." Avery immediately grabbed Layla's hand. "I know that you are in shock now, but it's all over now. It's in the past."Layla held onto her mother's hand, unable to stop her tears.Elliot walked over and wiped away her tears. "Don't cry, Layla. We are doing everything we can to save Eric. You are not to blame for this, so don't you blame yourself. Don't feel guilty about this." Despite his effort, Layla's tears simply kept falling."I was the one... who got him into this..." Layla pushed Elliot's hand away. "If only I hadn't called him here, he wouldn't be in this... Mom, Dad, I killed him..."Elliot and Avery stood by the bed, not knowing what to say when they saw how heartbroken their daughter was because they knew that nothing they said could convince Layla that what happened to Eric was not her fault.They understood how she had reach

    "Dad, can I go in to stay with Layla?" Ivy wanted to be there the moment Layla woke up. Elliot nodded. "Ivy, your mother thinks that we are in the wrong. If only we had agreed to them dating, they would have never ended up here, nor would they have been in the disaster…""No one is wrong here, Dad," Ivy said. "If everyone can predict what happens next, there will be no accidents or disasters."Elliot was comforted by her words."Dad, it's your responsibility to guide us and help us make the right decisions, and even if you have it wrong sometimes, we won't blame you because no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. You are a great father to me, Dad."Elliot pulled her into his arms. "Ivy, I'm so grateful for how understanding you are.""Dad, Layla won't be mad at you either," Ivy said confidently. "She told me that she loves you and Mom a lot, so don't beat yourself up.""Okay. Go in!" Elliot let her go. "Once Layla wakes up, you can chat with her for a bit if she is up to it

    Toward the end, Layla was sobbing so hard that she could no longer speak, and Ivy immediately wiped away her tears with a tissue. "Don't cry, Layla. You are both fine... you are both alive! You will soon be discharged, and Uncle Eric is going to get better," Ivy said. "This kind of disaster won't happen again. Once Uncle Eric gets better, our parents won't be opposed to the idea of you marrying him anymore.""Ivy, I don't think he's in that good a state..." Layla had been with Eric the entire time, and she knew how close to death Eric was. "He gave me his jacket and was only wearing a really thin sweater. It was so cold, and he was wearing so little. He never intended to survive and told me that it would take some time for rescue to come, so I needed to survive until then..."Ivy started sobbing as well. "Layla, I thought that Uncle Eric was a great person, but after what happened, I realize he is so much more than that. He has a tender heart and a beautiful soul. Once he recovers,

    ECMO stood for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and it was a machine that was designed to be used on patients suffering from severe dysfunction of their hearts and lungs.When the patient's lungs and heart could no longer function independently, the doctor would use an ECMO machine to help the patient circulate their blood and air. The machine was meant to take the place of the heart and lungs. It helps keep the patient alive, but since it is an extremely expensive procedure, ordinary people would never be able to afford it.Though Eric did not have to worry about the cost of such treatment, the treatment itself would be a challenging ordeal. The machine could be used to ensure the patient stayed alive, but he would not be able to open his eyes or talk like a living person if he were to rely on that machine. Eric would be no better than a copse, and if Layla had known that, she would definitely have broken down. Ivy looked up the term and fell silent after reading the descr

    Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

    Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

    "All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

    Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

    Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

    Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

    Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

    Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

    After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
