"Are we going back home or to the hospital?" He asked."Do you want to go home?" Avery asked.She wanted to go back to the hospital and wait for Eric to wake up so that she could set Eric's parents' minds at peace."I will stay in the hospital with you, then!" He could almost read her mind."You know what I'm thinking without asking me now." She giggled."If I can't do that even after all the years we've been together, we must be doing something wrong," he said. "You should know me like the back of your hand by now, too, right?""I used to think that I do back when we were dating, but we would get into such big fights whenever something happens, so I stop thinking if I know you or not." She avoided his question. "Happiness is the most important in a relationship. It doesn't matter if we know each other well.""How would we manage to stay together for so long if we don't know each other? Just say that you know me.""Are you putting words in my mouth?""You are doing this on pur

"Mom, did he say anything to you?" Layla's heart raced.Avery shook her head. "He is conscious, though. I asked him a few questions and he nodded back."Tears filled Layla's eyes at her words. She wiped them away and asked, "Mom, can I stay in the room to take care of him?""He is staying in the VIP ward right now and there are nurses taking care of him at all times. You don't need to be here." Avery grabbed her hands. "I know you want to stay with him, but he is weak and will be asleep most of the time. Maybe you can stay with him once he gets better, okay?"Layla nodded and regained her composure. "Okay."Shortly after, they arrived at the room and the nurse inside immediately gave them some privacy.Eric opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.Avery had informed him that his parents were waiting outside and were dying to see him. When she asked if he wanted to see them, he nodded.As soon as he opened his eyes, all the memories came flashing back to him.He had thought tha

They left the room and Avery pulled Elliot out of the room as well.Layla watched as the door shut and finally, she was alone with Eric.She took a deep breath and looked at Eric. "Look at the jacket I'm wearing. It's the one you bought. You can have it back when you are discharged."Eric studied the jacket she wore blankly, feeling a little tired.If there was no one else in the room, he would close his eyes to rest as listening to his parents had drained him.Despite that, he kept his eyes on Layla."I've talked to my parents and your parents. Once you are discharged, we will get married." Layla knew that he was weak and did not intend to drag the conversation on.Eric's heart sank and felt chills down his spine as though he had been struck by lightning when he heard what she said."I was informing you, not asking for your approval." She studied the stunned look and the frown on his face and knew that he could not accept his, but she was determined and refused to waver. "Rest

"Layla is my daughter and I have the responsibility to educate her from a young age. However, she is no longer a child who needs to be told what to do," Avery said. "She likes you and wants to be with you, no matter how long you live. She thought this through."Eric heard every word she said, but still, struggle to accept it."Eric, I know that you are doing this for her sake, but she will be devastated if you reject her." Avery felt conflicted. She did not want to put Eric in a difficult position, nor did she want to see Layla upset. After all that the two had been through, Avery wanted them to be happy."What about Elliot?" Knowing that he would not be able to convince Avery, Eric wanted to talk to Elliot instead."You want to see him?" She asked.He nodded."I'll call him, then." She took out her phone to call Elliot. After the phone call, she said, "he feels the same way as I do, so talking to him won't help unless you can convince Layla to give up.""I wouldn't talk to you

He wanted to give Layla whatever she wanted and that was the way he had been treating Layla all long since she was a child."You know my condition," Eric deadpanned. "You wouldn't want Layla to marry me, only to be widowed later. She would be in far more pain then. Just talk some sense into her and make her marry a normal guy. She will forget about me at some point," Eric said.Elliot agreed with Eric that Layla would suffer no matter what and it was normal to think that it would be better to cut the losses early.While others could look at the matter objectively, Elliot could not do so and all he knew was that he did not want to upset Layla."My wife told you everything." Elliot stared into Eric's eyes. "We won't try to talk Layla into giving up. If that's what you want, you will have to talk to her. She is twenty-five, not two, or five. She gets to make the calls about her own life."Eric had not expected such a sudden change to Elliot's view on the matter."Don't look at me li

Ivy knew that Robert was only trying to be responsible by staying home with her, as he used to stay out with his friends until ten at night."Dad and the others should be back soon, right?" Ivy asked.Once her parents were back, Robert would no longer have to stay with her all the time."They need to wait until Uncle Eric is discharged," he said, before covering his mouth. "We can't call him that anymore. He is going to be our brother-in-law.""Have they started dating, then?" She asked.The servant walked over and placed a bowl of soup in front of Robert. "It's freshly made. Try it."Robert immediately picked up his spoon and took a sip. "Yeah. It's thicker.""The onion and mushroom are cooked until they completely dissolved," the servant said. "This is your mother's favorite.""Mushroom soup isn't that popular in Bridgedale, so Mom doesn't get to have great mushroom soup over there," Robert said. "Uncle Eric will be discharged soon, anyway, so Mom should be home soon.""I th

"..." Ivy could tell that Robert was bored from staying at home with her every night. Since Robert wanted to hire an escort, she would not stop him."Okay! Go on, then! I will work on my assignments after this and you can tell me when the escort arrives." Ivy wanted to finish her assignments sooner so that she could play poker with Robert.Once Ivy was back in her room, Robert started looking for escorts of all different categories on social media.The servants came to clean the table and one of them said to Robert, "Robert, make sure whoever you call here doesn't take photos of the house.""I will tell them that. I'm just curious...""You are bored, aren't you.""A bit. Don't tell my parents about this.""I won't. Are you really going to play poker later? I will look for the cards.""Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on what Ivy wants! She locks herself in her room to practice her pronunciation every single day and I want her to relax for a while," Robert explained. "Should I hire

"Are you okay?!" The bodyguard hurried over to support Robert to keep him from falling.Robert shook his head and turned to look at the woman wailing on the ground."Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" He walked over to try and help her up.Just then, Ivy heard all the noise and walked out of the mansion."Robert, what's going on? What happened?" Ivy stepped out in just her slippers as she was in a hurry to see what had happened.Robert covered his face as he struggled to explain himself.In truth, there was no need for an explanation because anyone would be able to tell what was happening from the way the woman was dressed.He had only wanted the escort to spend some time with his sister and him, but the woman clearly had other ideas on her mind. "Um..." Ivy walked over to Robert and scratched her head awkwardly. "Robert, is this the escort you hired?"He pursed his lips and nodded."Why would you hit me? What did I do to deserve this? Don't think that you can

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
