Sandy stood trembling on the side and watched in terror. When she saw the sight of Ivanka’s still bloody and unhealed wound, she went pale. She did not expect it to be so serious!Besides, it had been a whole day and night, her wound was still so severe!At that moment, Sandy felt so bad for Ivanka. Her earlier carefree demeanor had vanished entirely.Looking at the grotesque wound, Sandy felt a pang of heartache like never before. That back was supposed to be smooth and pristine, without a single flaw, but now...When the doctor was treating Ivanka’s wound, she had intended to distract her as she was worried that she would be in too much pain. However, when she displayed such remarkable endurance to pain at such a young age unflinchingly, the doctor stopped worrying and began carefully tending to Ivanka’s wound.The doctor’s precise technique and swift movements spared Ivanka from a lot of pain. It was not until all her wounds were treated that she straightened up and gave Ivanka

As she watched Michael’s increasingly cold expression, she said indifferently, “Countless women want to marry you. In fact, the heiress of the Cullen family only wants you as her husband, and Master Barkworth has always wanted Ms. Tanya. As long as you’re willing, Ms. Tanya would immediately bear children for you. So, Mr. Barkworth, you can find someone else. Even if we remarry, there’s no love between us. We’d only spend our lives together like robots. That’s lying to Grandma, which wouldn’t be fair.”She had come to terms with it now. She did not want to deceive Rosie like she used to. Even well-intentioned lies had to be considered case by case.Besides, she did not see this as a well-intentioned lie. It was pure deception.In an instant, the room grew even colder!However, Ivanka did not seem to notice anything amiss. She just said wearily, “I’m tired and want to rest. Do you have anything else to say?”Michael chuckled in frustration. So, she was kicking him out?How proacti

Michael’s icy gaze fell directly on the bed, but the sheets were neatly folded. There was no one there. He looked in the bathroom, only to find it empty!His face darkened instantly. He immediately took out his phone and tried calling Ivanka, but all he got was the female voice prompt indicating that her phone was switched off.Michael’s expression darkened even more. He immediately left the room and headed toward Ivan’s room.After ringing the doorbell, he continued knocking. Ivan irritably spoke up. “Who the hell is it? Knocking endlessly early in the morning!”He had never considered Michael doing this. Irritated by the persistent knocking, Ivan opened the door, ready to give a piece of his mind.He was surprised to see Michael standing at the door grimly.Ivan was dumbfounded. “Whoa, how come it’s you? Are you crazy? Knocking like this?”“Where is Sandy?”Ivan frowned immediately. He spoke up in a protective tone, “Sandy isn’t even up, and you want her to go accompany Ivank

Sandy was about to reply, but she sensed that something was off. Seeing the conflicted look on Ivan’s face, she said, “I think I shouldn’t tell you, or else you’ll relay this to Michael. Iv doesn’t want him to know where she is.”Ivan snorted in cold laughter. His eyes were filled with mockery.Sandy frowned in slight displeasure.“What are you laughing about?”“Do you take both of us for fools? Do you think Michael won’t find out where she is just because you’re keeping quiet about it? You’re hilarious, aren’t you?”Sandy was speechless.She thought. “Eat sh*t, you jerk!” She knew that he would say something mean like this.In the next second, Sandy said with gritted teeth, “Let him figure it out himself, then. At least he won’t hear it directly from me.”Ivan snorted coldly and said nothing. He had nothing to do with Ivanka, after all, so he did not care how she was doing.He did not mind if Sandy kept her whereabouts secret.In fact, even if Sandy told him, he would not te

At that moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze. Even Ivan and Sandy, who stood outside the door, felt the tension.It was a hot and sunny day, yet Michael’s anger gave them chills.Neither of them said anything and exchanged glances out of reflex.The look in Michael’s cold eyes was murderous, but Ivanka was not afraid. She stared him in the eye.Michael nodded with a sneer. “Good. Very well.”“Good, my foot! Can you let go?”As she spoke, she suddenly gave a jerk of her hand. Michael was unprepared, and she was able to pull herself free.Ivanka quickly strode to the door and opened it. Ivan and Sandy walked in together.Ivan looked at Michael with a grin. “Bro, you’re really fast.”He and Sandy had eaten breakfast. He was sure that Michael had not eaten anything.With that, he smiled at Michael and said, “You haven’t had anything since last night, right? Then you left to find Ivanka. You probably haven’t eaten till now. Why don’t you grab a bite?”As he said that, h
