Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride
On the other end of the phone, Ivy choked back a sob, almost on the verge of tears. "Just now, another group of doctors came in and mentioned a small issue with Grandpa's surgery. They assured us that they would do their best to save him, but they couldn't guarantee success. Mom has fainted, and my brother and I are waiting at the entrance. Shawn, I'm feeling quite scared." "Don't be afraid, I'm coming right now." While soothing Ivy, Shawn signaled Luke to quickly take him to the hospital. It was his fault. He shouldn't have dealt with business at this time. "Mr. Tate, don't worry; we'll be there soon." Luke reminded. Shawn continued to comfort Ivy, "Grandpa has good fortune; nothing will happen. I'll be there in five minutes." "Okay, I'll wait for you." Ivy's voice on the phone was weak, filled with helplessness. She had always been accustomed to being strong, dealing with people like Harry who required a thorny response. Suddenly facing this situation, even if she pretended to be calm, the defenses in her heart would inevitably show signs of cracking. So, when the car stopped, Shawn almost subconsciously tried to step inside the hospital, but his legs had not yet recovered their strength. When he realized it, he had already fallen to the ground. Luke quickly helped him onto the wheelchair, his gaze falling on Shawn's bleeding arm, causing him to gasp in shock. "Mr. Tate! Let me take you to disinfect it!" "Hurry to the operating room!" Shawn didn't give him a chance to react. While Luke hesitated, he saw the terrifying look in his boss's eyes and decided to comply. Pushing his boss towards the operating room, a dark figure flashed by. Luke steadied his steps, and Ivy had already thrown herself into Shawn's arms. A drop of warmth fell into the palm of his hand as Ivy's tears landed. It tugged at Shawn's heart, causing it to ache in waves. He gently cupped her face and kissed it tenderly, soothingly saying, "It's okay; Grandpa will be fine." "Yeah." Confirming that the woman's anxiousness in her heart was gradually calming down, Shawn led her to a corner, half-hugging her, comforting her. After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the operating room dimmed. The door opened. Sweaty doctors walked out, and Ivy and Dom stood up simultaneously. "Doctor..." The chief physician at the forefront took a long breath, smiled, and said, "A narrow escape, but we finally succeeded!" "Yes!" Dom shouted loudly, almost jumping up. Ivy, who had been tightly holding her hands, finally let go completely. She slowly released them, placing them in the palm of Shawn's hand. "Doctor, can I go and see my grandpa now?" The doctor shook his head, "He has been through a lot inside; now, he needs to rest properly in the intensive care unit. Only one family member is allowed to accompany." "I'll go then," Ivy replied almost without hesitation. Seeing her swaying as if she were about to collapse, Dom behind her said with concern, "I'll go." "I..." "Stop arguing, I'll go." Emma, supported by Uncle Jim, spoke weakly. Though she sounded a bit breathless, her complexion had visibly improved. "Mom..." "Let me go." Emma interrupted Ivy, "You and Dom have things to take care of. Leave the matter of accompanying your grandpa to me. Don't worry. He will be fine." Hearing her mother say this, Ivy stopped refusing and only instructed her mother to take care and let her go. "You also go clean your wound." Luke's voice sounded in her ears. Ivy was startled, and then she noticed that Shawn's hand was continuously bleeding. She quickly grabbed his hand. "What happened?!" Not only was there bleeding, but it was also swollen. She was both anxious and annoyed, feeling sorry for him. Her eyes turned red in an instant."In a hurry to see you, he forgot that he still can't walk for now and fell off the car with a thump." This time, Luke chose to ignore his boss's warning and decided to tell everything. "I'm sorry." How could Shawn endure seeing Ivy so distressed? He quickly used his other hand to hold her, soothing her gently, "It's really okay; I'm completely fine." "At least stop the bleeding." Luke couldn't resist adding a sarcastic comment while looking at them. "How can it be okay? Your face is pale." Ivy choked back a sob, and in a hurry, she couldn't delay any longer. She quickly pushed Shawn towards the emergency room for examination. Luke also quickly followed. In an instant, in the vast hospital corridor, only Dom, who was completely ignored, and Uncle Jim, who enjoyed watching the excitement, remained. "The old man was afraid he couldn't come out of the operating room, so he specifically instructed that he wants to establish a charity fund in the name of H Capital, specifically to support and assist brain tumor patients." Dom's gaze was still on Ivy, expressionless as he said, "I will take care of this." Uncle Jim chuckled, patted his shoulder, "Go with the flow, young master. If it were any other man, you might still have a chance. But considering it's Cato Alter, plus Miss Ivy's love, your chances are zero." Dom glanced at Uncle Jim. Even if the chances were zero, did he have to be so blunt about it? "Whether it's zero or not, we'll see." He straightened his suit and got up. With the grandfather's surgery being highly successful, H Capital needed to hold a press conference to reassure shareholders and the industry about their confidence in H Capital. He would be busy for a while. While Dom was busy, Ivy accompanied Shawn to the emergency room for disinfection. Fortunately, it was only a superficial injury, with no damage to tendons or bones, allowing her to relax a bit. "Sorry." During the gap when the nurse was bandaging Shawn, Ivy said apologetically. Shawn quickly cupped her face, soothing her gently, "It's my carelessness, and it has nothing to do with you.""But..." Feeling even more guilty with Shawn saying that, Ivy continued, "If I were a bit more attentive, I would have noticed that you were injured. I'm sorry; it seems I always put you in the last place. I'll pay more attention in the future." She admitted her indifference to Shawn. Seeing his hand covered in blood, the pain in her heart tore at her. "Speaking of which, it's also because Luke is too fussy." As Shawn finished speaking, he saw Luke, who was standing behind, suddenly startle, as if waking up from a dream. He straightened up and forced out a apologetic smile. "Sorry, Mr. Tate, Mrs. Tate. I did overreact just now. It's really nothing serious. Mr. Tate just accidentally bumped into something." "Enough." Ivy helplessly interrupted Luke, "You've probably covered up for him many times over the years." Luke secretly gave Ivy a thumbs-up. Mrs. Tate understands them well. "Dr. Jones, we will take Mr. Tate for an X-ray now. Please wait a moment." The nurse said, and after getting the consent of the two, she pushed Shawn away. ***
