When His Eyes Opened Chapter 3154
"I'm telling the truth, but Lucas doesn't want to go to Aryadelle. After all, this is his hometown. It's surely difficult for him to leave his country for my sake," Ivy explained. Lucas' mother shook her head vigorously. "Ivy, he refuses because he lacks confidence, not because of a deep attachment to his homeland. If he felt attached to Taronia, he wouldn't have chosen to study abroad or wanted to start his business in Edelweiss in the first place. Ivy, you mustn't give up on him. Give him a helping hand! He will definitely treat you well in the future." Ivy nodded. "Okay, I'll do my best." Exiting the hospital, Ivy noticed Lucas' somber expression and playfully asked, "What are you thinking about? I greatly enjoy chatting with your mother, no matter what she says." "I'm not thinking about anything," he said. His mother, the one who raised him, was now critically ill, and he felt powerless to help her. He did not want to give up on her life, but the doctors had made it clear
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 3155
Seeing how insistent he was, Ivy did not argue and simply said, "I believe in you." "How so?" he asked. "I believe that you will be really accomplished in the future, at least more so than what you imagine now," she said. "We don't have to compare ourselves to others. There’s no point in that. We are living for ourselves, not to fulfill others' expectations." "I'm not that ambitious, really," Lucas said. "You don't have to be! I know what you are thinking; you think you aren't worthy of me, and you are worried that my family will be against us dating, right?" Lucas fell silent. "My parents aren't that kind of people. You might not believe me now, but I will bring you to meet them one day. You can still meet my parents even if we are just friends!" "We will see." Lucas sipped on his water. "Yeah. We are still young, anyway. We don't have to rush." They ended dinner at half past nine. The streets were noticeably quieter, with fewer cars in sight. "I'll drive you back

"You are still young, and you can be quite reckless." "I might be young, but I'm far from reckless. I grew up with my grandma, and I've been through a lot. I'd like to think I'm more mature than people my age." Lucas was instantly rendered speechless. "Lucas, I still remember everything that happened between us three years ago like it was yesterday. I will remember them for the rest of my life because I won't ever return to life as difficult as before. If you were willing to help me out back then, when I was at my lowest, then I have every reason to believe that you will treat me well now." "I didn't do much. You just exaggerate what I did because there weren't that many people who treated you with kindness back then." "You paid off my debt behind my back, didn't you? Do you do that for everyone?" Ivy retorted. Lucas pursed his lips. "You once said something that really moved me. You said that you'll still keep me as your nanny when you start earning money. I'm sure you t

Ivy and Caspian arrived at the city's largest shopping mall. Caspian followed Ivy and said, "Princess, my main function today is to carry your bags. I can't afford the things here, so forgive me if I don't offer to split the bill when it's time to pay." Ivy laughed heartily. "You and Lucas don't usually come here to shop, do you?" Caspian shook his head. "We mostly buy things from the supermarket. Those slightly larger department stores sell clothes, too. The clothes inside aren't expensive, but, of course, they're not branded." "I don't care much about brands either, but I want something better since it's a gift for Lucas' mother," Ivy explained. "You're really kind. It's a pity his mother can't enjoy it for long. Even if Lucas doesn't rely on you, he'll surely provide for his mother in the future. What a shame!" Caspian sighed. "Yes. That's why we should cherish the people around us," Ivy said. Just then, she spotted Olivia and Mrs. Woods not far away, shopping together
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 3158
Naturally, Caspian did not plan to expose Ivy's identity as she should preserve the right to do so herself. "I don't know. They just started dating!" he said. "How did they come to know each other? She looks kind of familiar," Mrs. Woods said. "They have known each other for three years!" Caspain said and hurried over to Ivy when he saw her turning around. Losing her desire to shop, Mrs. Woods said, "I don't feel like shopping anymore! Let's go!" "Mom, why are you getting upset? That woman might not be richer than us! All she bought was a bag, and it wasn't even that expensive!" Olivia said. "How would you know how rich she is? I need to ask your dad about this." "I don't think Dad knows anything about this either! He would have said something if he did!" Olivia commented. "I mean, I'm going to get your dad to ask Lucas about this!" Mrs. Woods hurried back home and shared the incident of seeing Caspian and Ivy at the mall with her husband. Mr. Woods was astonished.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 3159
Mr. Woods' expression turned grave. "I cannot allow Lucas to marry a woman like her!" Mrs. Woods sneered. "I doubt he'll listen to you." Mr. Woods retorted, "If he doesn't listen, I'll go to his company and talk to him!"In the afternoon, Ivy, accompanied by Caspian, arrived at the hospital with gifts for Lucas' mother. Lucas' mother beamed when she saw the new clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics that Ivy had bought for her. "Ivy, you've bought so many things for me. I've been sick for so long and haven't bought things in ages. It's a waste of money. You must have spent quite a bit, right?" "Aunty, you don't need to worry. My parents gave me a lot of pocket money. Would you like to try on these new clothes? I can help you change," Ivy offered. Lucas' mother, with a gentle smile, said, "It's fine. I'll have the nurse help me later. Didn't Lucas come with you?" "He's at work! I didn't want to disturb him." "Ah, I see. In the early days of his business, he was indeed quite

Taken aback, Mr. Woods paused.Lucas' mother did not continue further, so he followed Ivy outside; his gaze on Ivy had softened significantly. "Have you found your biological parents?" Mr. Woods asked Ivy. Ivy nodded. "Do your biological parents have a lot of money?" he continued. Ivy nodded again. Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Apart from Lucas, you haven't been involved with men, right?" Ivy nodded once more. A smile graced Mr. Woods's face. "That's great, Irene. I believe you're a good child. After all, you worked for our family in the past, and I trust you. Moreover, you and Lucas have spent time together. You are a good-looking young lady, and your family's circumstances are good, so I won't stand in the way of your relationship. When you have the time, bring your family over, and let our families meet and have dinner together!" "I come from Aryadelle," Ivy replied. Mr. Woods was surprised. "Huh? You're from Aryadelle? That's quite far from here!" "Yes,

Shelly's message said that she and Hayden were heading toward Taronia, and Ivy jumped out of bed in shock. "What should I do? They are definitely here to see Lucas. I have to tell Lucas about this," Ivy mumbled to herself and called Lucas. Lucas answered right away. "Lucas, my eldest brother is coming to Taronia!" she shouted. Feeling anxious about her tone, Lucas asked, "Why is he coming here? To bring you home?" "No! He's not here to bring me home. My sister-in-law said they are here on their honeymoon, but I know there's more to that. Why would anyone come here for their honeymoon?" Realization dawned on Lucas. "So they are here to meet me in person, then." Ivy chuckled. "I'm sure that's what they want. What should I do? I'm really nervous right now." Lucas maintained a calm tone. "What for?" "Aren't you nervous at all?" "Being nervous won't solve anything," Lucas said. Ivy persisted, "But what if my older brother gives you a hard time? I have great respect for

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
