Ivanka immediately dashed over.Meanwhile, Michael dealt with the man.Ivanka helped the girl up and let her catch a breath.But the girl clutched the medicine in her arms.Sensing her anxiety, Ivanka comforted her. “Calm down, sweetie. I’ll pay for the medicine.”Once she said that, the girl hesitated before looking up at Ivanka timidly. Gratefully, she nodded with difficulty.From up close, Ivanka noticed that the girl was in tattered clothes.Her pants were way too short for her.Ivanka rarely saw someone so dirt-poor these days.“What’s your name?” she asked gently.The girl looked Ivanka up and down and said in a low voice, “Nessa Keller.”Ivanka fed her a small white pill and asked softly, “How are you feeling, Nessa?”Hearing the concern in her voice, Nessa teared up instantly. “Please don’t call the police, ma’am. You can’t call the police. I want to go home.”“Alright.” Ivanka intended to ask more questions, but stopped talking when she saw Nessa’s pitiful and anx

Nessa looked at Ivanka with her crystal-clear eyes.She noticed that Ivanka had a bag full of medicine in her hand.“Remember this, Nessa. Feed these medicines to your father three times a day. Wash it down with water. He has to take all of them.”With that, Ivanka put down the medicines and wrote instructions on them.“Do you know how to read?”Nessa was silent, but she nodded once and carefully memorized everything Ivanka had said.It was getting late, and the sky had darkened completely.After giving the instructions, Ivanka left the house in the alley.Outside the alleyway, pedestrians walked past in groups. Deep down, Ivanka felt rather doleful. She might have to make a few more visits to Nessa’s home.Ivanka returned to the hotel and put away the medicines she bought for herself.While rubbing her shoulder, she contemplated on making arrangements for Nessa’s accommodations the next day.She could not let Nessa’s father stay in that house.He needed surgery or else he

Hearing her arrangement, Michael knew that she was insistent.She really planned to keep him out of this.However, he could not let her go alone.He agreed to call Evan over, but he had another suggestion to make. “Let Evan go with you. I can take care of myself.”Ivanka was speechless.She shot Michael a glare. “You’re really gutsy. Aren’t you worried that the symptoms will come back? You may have endured the first time, but you might not make it through the second time!”Michael did not seem to care. “It has been a while since it happened today. I don’t think I’ll relapse.”“Don’t you get it? It doesn’t mean that it won’t happen again. The residue of the poison in your body…”Speaking of this, Ivanka thought of Tanya.If Tanya told them about the origin of the drug and Ivanka learned about its component, they could find an antidote in no time.With that in mind, Ivanka suggested to Michael. “I think you should reach out to Tanya.”Michael knew what she was up to. But whene

Ivanka was surprised when she saw Michael following her.Why was this jerk here?While she was still in shock, Michael said to her in a cold voice, “Get in the car.”Since he had come all this way and offered a free ride, she knew she was not in a position to be picky.She and Nessa helped Martin into the backseat.Michael’s expression darkened.Just as she was about to get into the backseat, Michael said in an icy voice, “Come up front. I need to talk to you.”So, Ivanka sat in the passenger seat.Michael still looked displeased. “What are you going to do with them?”He had come all this way, so he must have figured everything out. Ivanka decided not to hide it. “I found them a place near the elementary school and got Nessa’s school stuff taken care of.”That was her plan. She and Michael would be able to handle all of this easily.Michael immediately called Evan.Evan could get it done in five minutes.Although she knew she was supposed to feel grateful for Michael’s hel

Ivanka hoped that by offering her understanding and support, Martin would be motivated to help her with Theodore’s situation. She wanted him to provide her with a significant breakthrough.However, if Ivanka took Martin and Nessa shopping in the mall, outsiders may see them as a family of three.Even though Michael knew this was not true, he did not want anyone to misunderstand.So, he pulled Ivanka closer and said, “Just let Evan handle those things. He can order everything based on their sizes and have it delivered. They have their matters to deal with, and we have ours.”Ivanka frowned at Michael’s words. She did not respond. Her confused expression spoke volumes. She was not entirely on board with his suggestion.She wondered what tasks Michael had that required her to drop her own. He had not informed her beforehand, which left Ivanka feeling dissatisfied.However, she did not want to display any negative emotions in front of others.Evan quickly took Martin and Nessa away
