"Mr. Livingston, are you okay?" Ivy looked at him with concern. Andy shook his head, his throat growing increasingly dry. "Emma..." he repeatedly whispered his daughter's name, and his eyes reddened with emotion. It had been decades since he had seen his daughter. "Is your mother all right?" Hearing this, Ivy’s tone turning serious. "Do you have some kind of personal connection with my mother?" Andy asked once more, "Do you have a photo of your mother? Can I see it?" Ivy’s voice stern, said, "Sir, you're crossing a line here. Unless you have your daughter with you, your actions are an invasion of privacy." Andy, returning to his senses, apologized and pulled out a yellowed, creased photograph from his pocket, handing it to Ivy carefully. Ivy looked at the photo of a family of three and then back at Andy. She could confirm that the handsome young man in the photo was Andy, but who were the young woman and the child she was holding? "Do you have any recollection?" Andy looked at her with anticipation. "Does this woman look familiar to you?" Ivy shook her head. Andy's smile disappeared instantly. With a determined tone, he said, "The woman in the photo is your grandma." "Grandma?" Ivy exclaimed in astonishment. She quickly added, "Sir, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ivy's grandmother had passed away when she was very young. It was difficult for her to imagine that the person in the photo was her grandmother. Could it be that the woman in the photo was her mother? Andy explained, "I'm not sure, but at least the name is correct. Your mother's name is Emma Livingston. I mean Ivy, could you consider doing a paternity test with me? I want to see... I want to..." He grew more and more excited and stumbled over his words. Ivy handed him a glass of water and said, "Sir, please don't rush. Take your time." Andy drank several sips of water before continuing, "If the test proves that we're related, then my... I mean your mother..."As he spoke, his voice broke, and his eyes teared up. His hopeful expression tugged at Ivy's heart, and she couldn't bring herself to refuse. Moreover, she had no reason to refuse. Thinking it over, Ivy reassured him with a smile, "Alright, once I finish up here, I'll accompany you for the paternity test." Andy brightened up immediately. "Thank you, I'll wait for you!" Ivy suddenly felt like she was being manipulated. Could it be that Andy intentionally arranged this encounter and... She didn't dwell on it any longer and assured Andy before leaving the office. Not long after, Andy's assistant and butler, Uncle Jim, arrived. "Sir, you really made it hard for me to find you," Uncle Jim said. He had thought that Andy wanted to coincidentally meet Ivy at the train station and then accompany her to the hospital. He didn't expect Andy to disappear as soon as he went to the parking lot. Andy's mood was clearly excellent. He didn't pay much attention to Uncle Jim's scolding and was looking forward to the scene after the paternity test with Ivy. He had to make sure that everyone in City S knew that his little princess and his little granddaughter had been found! He had to make up for all the suffering his daughter and granddaughter had gone through over the years. "Which hospital can provide the fastest paternity test results?" he asked Uncle Jim. "The First Hospital of City S can provide results in 4 hours, but given your status and influence, you can expedite it, and they'll give you results in 1 hour." "Alright, let's go to that hospital!" Andy said, filled with excitement. His thoughts were already on the hospital. But Uncle Jim had some concerns. "Sir, once we find information about Miss and Little Miss, many people will gather around them. You've always said that everything will be inherited by them. If their information is made public, people in the city..." Andy scoffed. "Impossible! Anyone who wants to get close to them will have to pass my test!" The paternity test hadn't even been done yet, and Andy was already acting possessive. His Ivy was unique in the world, and no one was worthy of her! "Well, sir, with your current status and influence, who can get close to you? Maybe someone like Cato Alter..." "Cato Alter won't do," Andy narrowed his eyes. "He's too gloomy and authoritarian. He even had the nerve to harm his own father. He's not a suitable match. What if he starts plotting against Ivy one day? My Ivy, who has been immersed in her work at the hospital all these years, can't possibly be his match!" Just as they were talking, Ivy entered the room. Seeing the extra person, she asked, "Who is this?" Uncle Jim, being a sharp individual, quickly stepped forward and greeted Ivy, "Miss, I'm the old man's butler and assistant. You can call me Jim." "Hello, Uncle Jim," Ivy said, relieved to see that he was friendly. She then turned to Andy. "Sir, we can leave now." "Great! Let's go to the hospital with the fastest results," Andy exclaimed, eager to get going. Before leaving, Ivy made an excuse to go to the restroom. She picked up her phone and hesitated about whether to call Shawn and update him on the current situation. She wasn't worried about being deceived because during the short break, she had also looked into Andy's background and knew what he looked like. She was more concerned that once the paternity test results were out, she wouldn't be able to face them alone. Thinking about this, she dialed Shawn's phone. But would Shawn dare to pick up the call? Wouldn't he be exposed once he went there? The man sat in his office, watching the phone ring continuously, feeling anxious and restless. He picked up the phone several times and then put it down, hesitating but ultimately not daring to answer the call. After unsuccessfully trying to call Shawn, Ivy felt disheartened. Perhaps he was still angry. She decided to let him cool off for a while. She retrieved a ring from her bag and put it on. She usually kept the ring in her bag during work to avoid any inconvenience. She only wore it after work or when Shawn was around. Since she was off work now, she automatically put it back on. However, the sparkling ring immediately caught Andy's eye when they got into the car."This ring..." he said in shock, looking at the diamond on Ivy's ring finger. "Are you married?" Ivy nodded. "Yes, for less than a year." Andy took a while to calm his emotions. Marrying wasn't a problem. He needed to focus on the paternity test first. If it turned out that he was her grandfather, he would support her in her future decisions, whether it was to marry or divorce. Andy began to share all the reckless things he did when he was young with Ivy. Towards the end, he looked at her with deep sincerity. "I know I've committed many unforgivable sins, and I'm sorry to your grandmother and your mother. I don't intend to make excuses. I just hope that in the days to come, I can do everything to make amends for the pain your mother and grandmother suffered, and let her rest in peace." Ivy remained silent for a long time and then responded, "Regardless of the test results, if it proves that you're my grandfather, it would be an honor for me. As for what you said earlier, I hope you'll say it to my mother's face. Is that alright?" "I'm not the person involved, and I haven't experienced the pain my grandmother and my mother went through, so I have no right to forgive you on their behalf," Ivy continued. "But you are my grandfather, and in the future, I will respect you. As for living together, that will depend on my mother's wishes." She tried to be as restrained as possible in her response. By now, Ivy fully understood why her mother had chosen to marry someone like Harry, a terrible man. It was because she lacked love from her father since her childhood. Although her grandmother had pampered and indulged her greatly, the deep-seated desire for her father's love had still led her mother to develop a people-pleasing personality. Did her grandmother resent her grandfather? Of course, she did, otherwise, she wouldn't have kept this secret until her death. Whether she would forgive him or not was something only her mother knew. She looked at Andy, who was filled with sadness and disappointment, and said, "After the results are out, if it indeed proves that we are related, I will find an opportunity to discuss this with my mother, and then we can look for the right time to meet. Is that okay?" This meant that if the paternity test confirmed their relationship, Ivy also didn't recommend immediately confronting her mother about it. She needed to ensure her mother's feelings first. At this moment, Uncle Jim walked in, handing a letter to Andy. "Sir, the results are out." Andy's hands shook as he clutched the letter, but he didn't bother to read the contents and went straight for the results. When he saw the words confirming a blood relationship, his eyes welled up with tears."God... you really are my granddaughter. Ivy, I am your grandfather..." He cried, gripping Ivy's hand and growing increasingly emotional. Finally, he fainted. ***
