All Chapters of Fade with the Wind: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Felicity had been pampered and spoiled ever since her birth. No one had ever raised their voice at her, let alone shouted at her.Overwhelmed with rage, Felicity charged at Jason and tried to scratch his face with her long nails!Jason naturally would not let her mess with him. He reached out and shoved her to the ground."Guards! Escort Ms. Shaw out!""Jason Hough!"The heavy doors slammed shut, sealing her hysterical screams outside.The day that Ivy's ashes were buried was also a rainy day. Jason hugged the urn and carefully placed it into the grave. Then, he sealed the grave.When he finished everything, he could hear sniffles and sobs from the people behind him.Ivy had always been well-liked.Other than her parents, who were so grief-stricken that they could not return from abroad, everyone Ivy knew, including those Ivy had only met once, came to pay their last respects.The cries and sobs were mixed with the sound of the rain, which made everything even sadder.Jason

Thinking about what had happened to the previous partner, Gabriel offered a silent moment of sympathy for this business partner who had presented Jason with the tickets to the Twilight Dance Company's performance.Gabriel took a deep breath, mentally preparing for Jason to throw a tantrum.Unexpectedly, not only did Jason pick up the ticket, but he even looked at it in detail.Although the ticket was quite huge, the design was extremely minimal. Other than the main information, there were no further distracting designs.That somehow made him think of a scene that happened a long time ago, when Ivy was still alive and interning in a dance company.She was designing assorted tickets for them. Every time she returned late at night, Jason could always hear her complain about the dance company, especially about what a catastrophe their ticket design was.Ivy had always favored minimalism, so her ticket designs were spare and elegant. Still, no matter how beautiful they were, they were

Compared to the distance of a stage between them earlier, standing that close at that moment allowed Jason to clearly smell the faint fragrance on Ivy's body. He could even hear her heartbeat.The more he looked at her, the more familiar he felt. An impossible speculation started forming in his mind.The woman's silence gave him inexplicable confidence.He slowly lifted his trembling hand toward her face. The nearer his fingers moved to the mask, the faster his heart pounded, his breathing growing uneven.Ivy had never expected Jason to reach out to her. Knowing him as well as she did, she was certain that if a woman had not answered his question promptly, he would have simply turned and left.That was why Ivy had taken the risk of staying silent. She just did not expect that outcome.Seeing Jason's hand approaching her mask, Ivy's body stiffened. Her heart was in suspense.Just when Jason's hand was about to touch her mask, a shrill ringtone interrupted them. Jason immediately

The moment Ivy turned to leave, a heavy thud sounded in front of her. She subconsciously looked up to see where the sound came from, only to see Gabriel standing there, pale with shock."M…Mrs. Hough?"Ivy did not manage to leave as Gabriel tried to stop her."Mrs. Hough, I beg you. Please don't go. You don't know what Mr. Hough has been through over the past year. Even if you don't want to bring up the past, please stay, if not just for the fact that he saved your life."Ivy sighed and said, "Firstly, don't call me Mrs. Hough. We have nothing to do with each other."Next, I can stay, but once I make sure he is fine, I'll have to leave. After all, I want nothing else to do with him."Gabriel got more and more awkward with every word of Ivy's reply. In the end, he had no choice but to comply with her conditions.They sat quietly on the bench outside the operating room. On the 21st time that Ivy checked the time on her phone, the doors to the operating room finally opened.Jason,

Jason was stunned for a long while after the slap.He finally touched his swollen and reddened cheek."I'm not dreaming?"Ivy was already irritated by the strange, chaotic day. She snickered and said, "Dreaming? Of course, it's a dream! How unlucky I am to be in this nightmare?!"Then, she turned and headed downstairs."Ivy!" Jason finally came to his senses. He immediately went after her. During their struggle, Ivy suddenly stepped on nothing and fell forward."Look out!" Jason panicked. He instinctively reached to pull her back, but he was a step too late.All he could do was pull her into his arms.They crashed heavily on the ground. Due to Jason's protection, Ivy only felt a little dizzy, but other than that, nothing much.Jason, on the contrary, was bleeding on his head."Sir!" The mansion was in chaos, and Albert quickly sent both of them to the hospital.The entire incident dragged on for a few more days. While Jason was still in the hospital, Ivy had secretly tried t
