The Assistant quickly arranged a hotel nearest to the Livingston family's old residence for Shawn, as they awaited the family's reunion. On the other side, Ivy and her mother quickly arrived at the hospital. Uncle Jim had been waiting at the entrance, and when he saw the car come to a stop, his heart raced, and his eyes welled up with tears. The day they had been searching for their lost family was finally here. With this thought, Uncle Jim approached with quick strides. As the car door opened, he shouted with excitement, "Miss! Miss!" Emma had experienced this in her childhood, but those memories from her younger years had long faded. She had always been submissive under Harry's oppression. However, being treated with such respect by Uncle Jim now made her feel a little less apprehensive. It was Ivy who steadied her mother's trembling body. Supporting her mother's waist securely, Ivy said, "Mom, should I take you to rest for a moment?" Emma, calming down after the initial panic, whispered, "No need. Afterward, wait for me outside. I'll go in and have a talk with him first." "Alright, Mom." Ivy gently held her hand and helped her reach the entrance of the ward. Andy Livingston, a prominent figure in City S, attracted attention wherever he went. Therefore, the room he was in was situated in an extremely private area of the hospital. Ivy entrusted her mother to Uncle Jim's care and waited outside. At this moment, Shawn's call came in. "How's the progress?" he asked. "How did you know I'd be available at this time?" Ivy asked in surprise. "We have a strong connection," the man joked mysteriously. In reality, he had already instructed Sanders to monitor the situation at the hospital closely. He knew that this was the right time to call Ivy. "My mom is still inside, and I'm not sure what's happening yet," Ivy replied. But she believed that her mother's sudden appearance indicated her readiness to acknowledge their relationship. She just had some doubts to clarify with him.The more Shawn heard, the more convinced he became that the reunion was likely to happen. No matter how complicated the process might be, the end result was sure to bring happiness to all, with one exception: himself. "I have some work to handle in here, so I might not be able to come. Keep me updated," he said. "Has President Cato Alter assigned you another task?" Despite Shawn's explanations about his desire to switch to a full-time position, Ivy still couldn't understand why he was so busy. Shawn massaged his temples in frustration. "Not quite... Cato Alter gotten into some trouble, and he needs my assistance here. It's a matter that only my position can handle." "Is it a scandal?" Ivy asked without thinking. "I heard that the leading actress from DT Investment's subsidiary, Apple Entertainment, tried to seduce a senior executive and then attempted suicide by taking sleeping pills. Is that executive Cato Alter?" Shawn was left speechless. Sometimes he genuinely wished he could open Ivy's head and see what was going on inside. Her thought process was so unique. Even if he had doubts about Cato Alter, shouldn't he trust Shawn, who was known for handling these kinds of scandals professionally? "Yes, you guessed it right. It's because of this incident," Shawn said with a serious tone. "The company is now trying to suppress the news. The main issue is that the female star is uncontrollable. We've accommodated her in the best hotel in this city, but she still acts defiant, making the situation very tricky." "Why? I don't understand," Ivy said in confusion. "Cato Alter is married!" "Yes, but some women are..." "It must be Cato Alter, the playboy, who can't resist flirting with her, leading the female star to misunderstand," Ivy stated indignantly. Shawn: "..." "Cato Alter and his wife also had a flash marriage, right?" "Um." Shawn had a bad feeling. As expected, Ivy continued, "Flash marriage without a foundation of love can easily lead to infidelity. Shawn, you should avoid too much contact with Cato Alter in the future. I'm afraid he might lead you astray." "..."He felt like he was lifting a rock to drop it on his own foot. Tugging at the corner of his mouth, Shawn asked, "It seems like you really don't like him..." "Yes, I feel like he, you, and I are not from the same world," Ivy responded without hesitation. "Shawn, we're all working-class people, and our upbringing and social class make it difficult for us to resonate with the upper class." Perhaps these words were a bit extreme, but they were true. Sometimes, the upper class had the capital to take big risks, which she and Shawn didn't have. Moreover, she and Shawn also had a flash marriage. If those improper views on love influenced him, their marriage... Shawn understood what Ivy was worried about. He could clearly sense her emotions intensifying when she brought up the topic of flash marriage. In exasperation, he softly reassured her, "Don't worry, I won't become like Cato Alter." As things took a peculiar turn, Ivy's aversion to Cato Alter's identity grew stronger. How could this be resolved? After ending the call, Shawn rubbed his temples, and his assistant tried to console him. "Mr. Tate, maybe as Mrs. Tate spends more time with Mr. Livingston, she will gradually change her opinion of you." Shawn, however, suddenly felt his headache intensify. He massaged his temples and said helplessly, "Don't be fooled by Andy's politeness. He is clearly dissatisfied, although he has a favor to ask of me. He has strong opinions. Don't blame me if he doesn't like me later." Luke thought back to the interactions between Andy and their boss and agreed with Shawn's observation. "Well..." "You can have Sanders send some gifts to the Livingston family to express my joy of their reunion," Shawn instructed after pondering for a moment. He had no choice now; with Ivy having the wealthiest man in the city as her grandfather, he needed to make a good impression on the old man. As Shawn was still contemplating how to win Andy over, in the hospital's VIP room, laughter occasionally echoed. Ivy's spirits lifted as she heard this. The crying that was hidden moments ago had turned into laughter. This must mean... Thinking of this, she glanced at Uncle Jim, who smiled and opened the door for her. She quickly entered the room and saw her mother sitting by the bedside, holding Andy's hands. Both father and daughter had red eyes and tear stains at the corners of their eyes, but their spirits were better than ever. They both had smiles on their faces, filled with contentment and gratitude. Andy waved at Ivy, saying, "Ivy, come here." Ivy walked over in confusion. Andy held her hand, and the three of them held hands together. "Ivy, your mom has forgiven me. Are you willing to forgive me as well?" Andy's smile was weak but resolute. "Grandpa..." The word made Ivy unexpectedly choke up. "You are my grandpa, there's nothing to forgive or not forgive. I should be filial to you." She grasped their hands tightly, and Andy felt overwhelmed with emotion. He sighed deeply and said, "Good child, Grandpa will never let anyone bully you or your mother again." He called for Uncle Jim and had him hand them an invitation. Then he explained, "I've decided to hold a dinner party in a few days, right at our Livingston family residence. I want to announce to the world that Emma is the most beloved daughter of mine, and Ivy is my precious granddaughter. From now on, no one will dare to mistreat them!" "I don't want to make it too grand," Ivy quickly refused. "Grandpa, we're just fine reuniting like this. I don't like to draw too much attention to ourselves." She was worried that if people outside found out about her identity, it might affect her work at the clinic. "Ivy," Andy began, but before he could say more, Emma had already taken over. "Ivy, let's listen to Grandpa. As a family, we should reunite openly and honorably. Keeping secrets only makes others wonder if we have something to hide." "Mom..." Ivy was initially hesitant to accept but seeing her mother so resolute, she nodded in agreement. She didn't understand why her mother suddenly changed her mind, so while they were handling the discharge procedures for Andy, Ivy asked about her mother's thoughts. "Your grandpa has cancer," Emma said with a sad expression, trying to hide her emotions but failing miserably, as tears welled up in her eyes. ***
