Michael let out a long sigh.He looked at Ivanka. His eyes were misty and carried a hint of helplessness.Ivanka, however, was not moved by his expression. She replied indifferently, “Mr. Barkworth, don’t you have faith in yourself? Even if something happens, you’ll be fine. You can call Evan or Xander. You’ve been taking your medication, and I’ve been helping with your treatment—”Before she could finish, he interrupted her. “I’m afraid of dying!”Ivanka noticed that his voice was calm, but his gaze revealed a hint of panic.She hesitated, unsure how to respond to his vulnerability. After a moment, she pursed her lips and said, “If you’re afraid of dying, why did you protect me? Michael, don’t you see how you contradict what you’re saying before this?”Michael just wanted Ivanka to stay. He hoped she would pity him.He had said those words without thinking, which made Ivanka question him. But he did not panic. He explained, “Spending time with you, whether it’s eating, walkin

Ivanka smiled faintly in return.Jonah’s words felt sincere.She knew she had not come to Jonah’s room just for a visit.She quickly looked away and nodded at Jonah. “Come here, let me see your leg.”Jonah suggested, “Let’s go to the balcony. The weather’s nice today.”“Alright.” Ivanka agreed.She placed her hands on the wheelchair handles and pushed him toward the balcony.Jonah spoke softly, “Are you sure you don’t fancy anything here?”Ivanka shook her head. “Everyone has a childlike side. But at my age, I’m focused on my career. I don’t even have time to organize my place. If I took your things, they’d just end up being neglected.”Jonah disagreed. “That wouldn’t be neglect. You could use them as decorations. They’d look great.”Ivanka gestured toward him. “First, roll up your pant cuffs. I’ll check those later.”“Okay.”Jonah quickly rolled up his pant cuffs as she instructed.Ivanka reached out and placed her hand on his leg.Jonah tensed when he felt her cool, sof

“Get lost!”Before Laura could say another word, Jonah snapped at her with a frown.His expression was cold and stern. He looked furious.It was the first time Jonah had ever scolded Laura like this. Even when he did not like her before, he always showed her some respect, whether in private or in front of others. But at that moment, he was yelling at her in front of everyone, especially Ivanka, the person she hated most!In an instant, Laura lost her composure and started sobbing loudly. “Jon, how can you treat me like this? I’ve devoted myself completely to you! I’d die for you. What could this divorced woman do for you?”She then added hysterically, “She’ll only hurt you if she stays with you. She brings you nothing but trouble. She even made you turn against Margaret. What’s so great about Ivanka?”She knew she might not be the smartest, but she was not stupid. She could tell how much Margaret hated her, how Jonah kept his distance, and how he looked at her with disgust at t

Right after Ivanka left, Margaret returned. Margaret realized everything when Ivanka drove off. Based on the timeline, she finally figured out the real reason Jonah had told her to handle some work in the company. It was too late for Margaret to call out to Ivanka. Hence, she immediately went to Jonah. She spoke without hesitation, and her tone was harsh. “You wanted Ivanka to come over to you. Is that why you asked me to handle the work in the company?” “Yes.” Since Margaret had figured it out, Jonah had no intention to hide the truth from her anymore. He said, “She’ll come at this time daily in the days ahead. If you don’t want to see her, you can leave. I don’t want to watch her being mistreated.” Jonah said with determination. His eyes were filled with resoluteness. Margaret noticed all this. He had quarreled with her many times because of Ivanka. For that particular instance, he spoke to her mercilessly. Margaret thought she had been acting like a clown all the

Ivanka was stunned. She wondered what sort of mindset Michael had. Then, she stared at him in puzzlement. The next moment, Michael revealed his inner thoughts to her. “I don’t want to cause you trouble by becoming a burden to you. As for Jonah, if his condition worsens, he needs to be bound in the wheelchair for the rest of his life. If you keep visiting him, Margaret won’t show her respect for you. “Moreover, who are you to stay around Jonah and take care of him?” “I’ll stay around him as his caregiver. I can’t possibly watch him die in front of me without doing anything.” Ivanka pursed her lips while shrugging her shoulders in resignation. The next moment, Michael said in a creepy tone, “Before my condition becomes that bad and if you haven’t finished treating Jonah, I’ll take him away.” At that moment, Ivanka noticed a hint of ruthlessness in Michael’s eyes. She figured out his meaning and shouted, “Michael, are you crazy?! Why are you being so weird?” It was unhin
