Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride

Chapter 131 Love Or Threat

Back in the private room, Shawn found Ivy still enjoying a delicious dinner. With one hand holding her phone and apparently reading medical materials, she seemed carefree. Seeing her seemingly indifferent demeanor, Shawn felt helpless yet found her incredibly adorable. "You're back," Ivy said as Shawn approached. She closed her phone, looking at his shirt for a while. Fortunately, the shirt was almost dry, and the man seemed unaffected. Shawn couldn't help but feel a mixture of frustration and adoration. "I'm back," he replied. She opened her phone to show Shawn, "This is the second-phase surgery plan I prepared for you. Take a look. Professor Watson has also reviewed it. He will be accompanying the surgery, so I'm very confident; it'll be fine." Ivy smiled, but deep down, she was somewhat anxious. She prided herself on maintaining confidence and absolute clarity in front of patients, but when the patient was Shawn and her love for him intensified, the reluctance in her heart urged her to strive for a perfect surgery. But... how perfect could it be? He was Shawn. If she made a mistake, she would harm him for a lifetime. Thinking of this, Ivy looked at Shawn with an increasingly gentle gaze, and behind the tenderness was her reluctance and fear. Shawn understood this kind of gaze. He grabbed the hand covering his face, holding and kissing it repeatedly. "Don't worry. You are my lucky star. Since I met you, everything in my life has been on the right track. So, I will definitely succeed in standing up." "Okay." At that moment, outside the room, Dom, who had returned to retrieve his phone, stood in shock at the doorway, as if struck by lightning. Reluctant to admit it but forced to acknowledge it, a sourness spread through his chest bit by bit. "Excuse me." Dom finally pushed the door open, interrupting the couple's affectionate moment. "Take the phone." He picked up his phone from his position, gesturing with his hand, "Continue with what you were doing." He then turned and left."Brother!" Ivy called after Dom, "Wait for me, I need to leave too." Dom paused, hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I'll wait for you in the car." The door to the private room closed once again. "Later, I'll send you a plan for postoperative reconstruction and preoperative preparation. I'll also send one to Mr. Luke. You need to start preparing from tomorrow, okay?" Ivy said. "If everything goes smoothly, after the second phase of the surgery, you'll be able to walk again." Feeling Ivy's worries and fears in her suddenly cold hand, Shawn caught her hand, repeatedly kissing her fingertips, nodding firmly. "I'll follow your instructions." Ivy said, "I'll find someone to supervise you, no slacking off." "Of course!" With everything arranged, Ivy finally left with peace of mind. Once she and Dom returned home, Ivy felt increasingly uneasy about what she said to Shawn earlier that night. Fortunately, she immersed herself in studying the surgical plan in her study. She read the contents of the plan repeatedly, word by word, expecting to find any points she might have overlooked. But there were none. In fact, this seemingly perfect surgical plan, even approved by Professor Watson, was currently only in the theoretical stage, with no room for any problems. The next challenge was the practical implementation. Thinking about this, Ivy's palms turned cold again. It seemed like she should go back to City A and consult a psychologist. At this moment, Dom, who was preparing to deal with business matters, pushed the door open. Their eyes met, and there was a slight awkwardness due to the events of the night. "I'm done. You can use it," Ivy said, picking up her laptop. "Are you nervous?" Dom asked her, his gaze fixated on her notebook. Ivy nodded."I heard that after his first surgery, you sent him to the ward and never visited him again, is that true?" The unexpected question made Ivy stiffen. She was silent for a moment before dryly replying, "At that time, he had already passed the critical period. Naturally, I had to attend to other patients who needed my attention." Dom frowned. Although he had never been in a romantic relationship, at this moment, listening to the bizarre remarks of this woman, he still felt a burst of explosion. "You married him because you love him, or because he threatened you?" Now it was Ivy's turn to furrow her brows. "What do you mean?" "You treat him like one of your patients..." "What's wrong with that? He is one of my patients." Dom: "..." "Do you know, a man, if he loves you, he wants you by his side at all times. Of course, if a woman deeply loves a man, when her loved one hovers on the edge of life and death, she will put everything aside to accompany him." This fairy-tale-like rhetoric from Ivy was something a science-minded woman like her couldn't agree with. "No wonder you can't find a girlfriend!" She stamped her foot and left. Uncle Jim came in at this moment, just in time to hear these words. He stood awkwardly in place, trying not to laugh. Dom was about to explode. "Can't we have a civil conversation? Must you resort to personal attacks!" Uncle Jim chuckled, "Master Dom, the old master has said that Miss Ivy is different, she is special. If you provoke her, you see, what was reasonable becomes unreasonable." Dom snorted softly, "It's only because that brat Shawn has taken a liking to her." Without any mood for overtime, he pushed Uncle Jim aside and left on his own. Several days passed peacefully without any major incidents. On this day, Shawn, who was holed up in the hotel protecting his wife, finally received the news that Kara had captured his targets."Mr. Tate, the companies they were in have started to induce. They are preparing for a company-wide trip," Assistant Luke reported excitedly. In the entire company, except for the Jones family, everyone else was a pawn. "We've sent Zedd to an international school. When the Jones family successfully goes to Southeast Asia, we'll have Kara take him abroad. By then, everything will be over." Shawn looked at the route arrangements above, which were mostly continuous. They were heading to Southeast Asia. "Instruct the people in Southeast Asia to keep a close eye on them. Don't let them return to the country." DT Investment had a branch in Myanmar, but it was not involved in scams. The scamming area in Myanmar was in the north, while his company was in the south. Over the years, relying on its business, it had been secretly sheltering fugitives from the Northern Myanmar scamming area and secretly sending them back to the country.” This was a technology project that Shawn cooperated with the government on, and few people knew about it. But for the Jones family, he was determined not to let them come back. Thinking about this, Shawn asked, "When are they leaving?" Assistant Luke glanced at his watch. "Tomorrow night's flight, arriving in Northern Myanmar at night. By then, they will evaporate from this world..." "Keep a close eye on them, don't let them find out." He gave the order and continued to focus on handling business matters. ***
