"Ivy, what should we do next?"
Ella Morgan was still worried that Damien Lancaster might die. Given the situation with the Lancaster Family, they wouldn’t let Ivy Sumrs off the hook.
Moreover, with Rachel Shaw backed by the Lancaster Family, she beca even more arrogant.
"We’ll take it one step at a ti."
"Ivy, I don’t want Damien Lancaster to die now, not for anything else. If he’s alive, you’ll be safe. If he dies, you’ll be in great danger."
"I’m in danger whether he’s alive or not. Did you see Rachel Shaw’s eyes? Her eyes told she won’t let go!"
Ella Morgan gritted her teeth, "That maniac lives her life like a palace drama every day, afraid that soone would steal the emperor from her. She even... she even killed Sophie..."
Ivy Sumrs clenched her fist, a chill emanating from her gaze.
...
In the following days, Damien Lancaster’s condition wasn’t good.
He went into the ergency room three more tis, and several critical condition notices were issued. The doctor said Damien Lancaster had a very low will to survive. If soone he cared about could visit him in the intensive care unit every day to talk to him, it might help.
The doctor also ntioned that during the days Damien was in a coma, he had vaguely called out Ivy Sumrs’ na.
So Zachary Lancaster ca to find Ivy Sumrs.
"Sister-in-law, my brother is dying!"
"Are you telling so I can celebrate?"
Zachary Lancaster frowned, "No matter how much you hate him, you should know, if my brother dies, the Lancaster Family won’t let you go. If he’s alive, he might still protect you when he wakes up. Just for your own sake, go see him, talk to him. He’s losing his will to live."
Ivy Sumrs pressed her lips together, staying silent.
"Ivy Sumrs! Did you hear ?"
Zachary Lancaster slamd his fist on the table in front of Ivy Sumrs. "If you don’t speak, do you believe I’ll drag you there?"
"Even if you drag there, I won’t talk to him."
"You! So stubborn and unyielding!"
Zachary Lancaster, temper flaring, stord out, slamming the door. But he saw Old Master Lancaster standing outside.
"Grandpa?"
"I’ll try to persuade her."
Old Master Lancaster walked in, but Zachary Lancaster stopped him, "Grandpa, don’t waste your breath. She has no heart; it’s useless."
Old Master Lancaster pushed Zachary’s hand away and still walked inside.
"Ivy."
Seeing Old Master Lancaster, Ivy Sumrs’ eyes flickered slightly, "Grandpa."
"Ivy, I know you’re heartbroken. I know Damien has wronged you, so Grandpa doesn’t bla you. But... can Grandpa beg you, for his sake, go see him, and talk to him, will you?
Grandpa doesn’t have many days left. I don’t want my last monts to be spent burying a grandson, either. If Damien can get through this, afterwards, you can scold him or hit him as you please, just leave him with a breath. Is that okay?"
Ivy Sumrs pressed her lips, her expression unyielding.
Old Master Lancaster’s eyes beca moist, his aged, frail body appearing to struggle with even walking.
Zachary Lancaster ca in, "Grandpa, you see, I said she has no heart. She can’t wait for my brother to die. Don’t waste your breath on her, it’s all in vain."
"Ivy..." Old Master Lancaster looked at Ivy Sumrs with pleading eyes.
But there was not a hint of wavering on Ivy Sumrs’ face.
In the end, Old Master Lancaster lowered his head in disappointnt, letting out a soft sigh, his voice hoarse and slow, "So be it... so be it, perhaps this is fate, perhaps this is fate..."
Old Master Lancaster, leaning on his cane, supported his aged body as he walked out.
"Ivy Sumrs, if my brother dies, Grandpa might not hold on either. If both my brother and Grandpa are gone, won’t your heart ache?"
Zachary Lancaster, sowhat agitated, questioned the woman before him who showed no emotional fluctuation.
Ivy Sumrs lowered her head, her throat tight, a surge of bitterness welling up.
Of course, it would hurt.
She wasn’t made of stone. Of course, it would hurt. No matter how indifferent she pretended to be or how many people she fooled, she couldn’t deceive her own heart.
And the pain was so complex, so complex that even she couldn’t explain why it was this way.
After speaking, Zachary Lancaster walked out.
Ivy Sumrs lowered her head, looking at her hand, which had been clenched so tightly that it bled, and tears fell. She let out a gentle sigh, "Is he really going to die now."
...
That night, Damien Lancaster’s condition worsened again, and everyone stayed at the entrance of the intensive care unit.
A huge crowd, all dressed in black, creating an atmosphere so heavy it felt like they were already prepared for Damien Lancaster’s funeral.
At this mont, in the uniformity of black, a striking red appeared.
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock, looking at the woman slowly walking over, falling into an instant silence.
Red dress, high heels, with exquisite makeup, as if she’s going to celebrate a joyous event.
She dressed up on purpose.
Seeing her, the Lancaster Family mbers were all agitated, ready to rush forward like fighting cocks.
Rachel Shaw stopped Ivy Sumrs, "Ivy Sumrs! Damien is critically ill, and you wear a red dress to co here? Are you celebrating? How can you be so malicious?"
Ivy Sumrs lightly raised her clear eyes, "Does it seem familiar? At my mother’s funeral, you ca wearing a red dress just like this. So you knew it was inappropriate after all."
"You!"
Ivy Sumrs pushed Rachel Shaw aside, walking forward with her back straight, ignoring all the furious glares of the Lancaster Family mbers, and approached the doctor, "Let in."
The doctor hesitated, "This?"
Old Master Lancaster snapped out of it, a glint of joy flashing in his aged eyes, "Quick, let her in."
"No, she can’t go in! Dad, have you lost your mind? Aren’t you afraid she’ll hurt Damien again?" Seraphina Kennedy strongly opposed.
Ivy Sumrs had already hurt Damien Lancaster once. She would never give Ivy Sumrs another chance.
Moreover, Ivy Sumrs ca in a red dress deliberately to anger them, she definitely had ill intentions.
"I said, let her in." Old Master Lancaster lowly reprimanded.
"Grandpa Lancaster." Rachel Shaw spread her arms, "Ivy Sumrs has bad intentions, she only wants Damien dead, please don’t get confused at a ti like this."
Ivy Sumrs stood there quietly, listening to their argunts.
Seeing that this group was blocking the path to his grandson’s life, Old Master Lancaster’s cane struck heavily on the ground, "With here, let’s see who dares to stop her."
"Doctor, quickly take her in."
"Alright."
The doctor imdiately brought Ivy Sumrs into the ward.
"Ivy..." Seraphina Kennedy wanted to stop her but was glared back by Old Master Lancaster’s gaze.
"Dad! Ivy Sumrs is very dangerous now, how can you joke about Damien’s safety, what if she..."
"She won’t." Old Master Lancaster said with utmost certainty.
Inside.
"Miss Sumrs, Mr. Lancaster now has a very low will to survive. We’ve tried everything, but just us is not enough. You’re soone he cares about; talk to him, spend more ti with him, it may be the last resort."
Ivy Sumrs gave a slight pull at the corners of her lips, "Cares about?"
"Yes, these days in his coma, the only na he called was yours."
Ivy Sumrs walked in, seeing Damien Lancaster. His condition seed worse, his face pale as a corpse.
Ivy Sumrs calmly and quietly walked up to his bedside, looking down at his face, which she loathed.
After a quiet mont, suddenly, she raised her hand.
"Slap" landed on Damien Lancaster’s left cheek.
"Slap!" Another landed on his right cheek.
The slaps were visibly forceful.
The people outside, watching through the observation window, instantly bristled.
Seraphina Kennedy urgently wanted to rush in and fight Ivy Sumrs to death.
"That bitch indeed wants to hurt Damien. Damien is already like this, and she still won’t let him go, that vicious bitch."
"Stop." Old Master Lancaster scolded, "Who dares to go in, try it."
"Dad! Have you really gone mad?"
Old Master Lancaster deeply gazed at the person inside. Although he didn’t know what Ivy Sumrs wanted to do, he believed that since she ca, she ant to save Damien Lancaster, she wouldn’t be so indiscreet.
"I believe she won’t harm Damien."
"She’s done that, and it’s not called harm?"
Seraphina Kennedy was dumbfounded, wondering if Old Master Lancaster wasn’t suffering from cancer, but senile dentia.
"I believe her, no one is allowed in."
With Old Master Lancaster blocking the way, no one could do anything but widen their eyes, tensely watching inside.
Suddenly, Ivy Sumrs reached out towards Damien Lancaster again, seemingly trying to pull out his oxygen tube.
Rachel Shaw scread, "Ivy Sumrs is pulling the oxygen tube."
Everyone held their breath, staring without daring to blink.
Only to see Ivy Sumrs just slightly lean forward, saying sothing directly to Damien Lancaster, but as for what, behind the glass, with the door closed, it was naturally inaudible.
Ivy Sumrs looked at Damien Lancaster and said softly, "Damien Lancaster, do you know how much I hate you? Hurry up and die...
After you die, I’ll take Nathan and Leo abroad; you didn’t know, did you? You have two sons. You don’t know, and you’ll never deserve to know. Seeing you about to die, I’m so happy I’m about to go mad. In the future, I’ll make your sons call soone else father; angry? I ca deliberately to tell you this, you damned bastard."
After speaking, Damien Lancaster’s finger twitched...
