"Sorry, Officer!" Ivy looked guilty, wishing she could crawl into a hole. "Sorry, Officer, it's my fault," Shawn embraced Ivy, suppressing a smile. "I shouldn't have forced her to confess. It's just that she never says she loves me, and I get jealous, so in my impatience, I sought a sense of security. I promise to sincerely repent and not waste public resources in the future." "Let's not make this a habit!" The police reprimanded them and, seeing it was a misunderstanding, soon left. Ivy's embarrassed head sank lower, not daring to lift it. Shawn chuckled softly, "Although it was a bit unconventional, I finally heard your confession." It took Ivy a long time to react. She punched him hard and said, "I'm ignoring you!" She left angrily. The staff, realizing it was a misunderstanding, quickly dispersed and guided the customers back to their seats. Luke pushed Shawn to catch up with Ivy. Although they had successfully weathered the unexpected incident, there was still some lingering fear. "Mr. Tate, although this unexpected incident went smoothly, we should plan to disclose your identity to Madam sooner rather than later to avoid any future misunderstandings," Luke advised. Shawn also understood that once doubt took root in Ivy's heart, using diversionary tactics like today wouldn't be effective. Ivy was not an ordinary person; she might be a bit confused in her daily life, but she was very clear-headed when it came to actions. They needed to confess his identity sooner. When the two returned to City S Hospital, Andy and Dom had already received the news. As soon as Ivy entered, she saw the Livingston family of three sitting in a row, looking at them. The three of them had their hands crossed in front, suppressing their smiles. "Dom, I heard there was a commotion in the coffee shop in City A today, even involving the police. Is that true?" Andy squinted, smiling happily. Dom stared at the two of them solemnly, scrutinizing them. After a while, he criticized the mess they left behind, "The bill from the coffee shop and the police, as well as the penalty notice, have all been sent over.""Huh?" Ivy was surprised. She blurted out, "The police just said it was a warning and criticism; there was no fine involved." As soon as she spoke, she quickly understood. This was her grandfather and them teasing her. Instantly, her face turned red, and she fell silent. "Somebody's confessing without being prompted." Andy and Emma teased. "Thanks to the grandeur of our Livingston family, otherwise, wouldn't our precious Miss Livingston's jokes in the coffee shop be spread across major websites for several days and nights?" "Grandpa, I'm sorry." Ivy, with thin skin, felt guilty when she heard that her family had been troubled. "It's not your fault," Andy comforted with a smile. Then, his expression turned serious as he looked at Shawn. "Shawn, look at the trouble you've caused! Ivy is a girl, how could you make her confess to you?!" "Ah, it's not..." Shawn initially wanted to explain that he and Ivy were playing Truth or Dare, but in an instant, Andy saw through his little scheme. "Even if it's a game, you were wrong in this matter. You should protect her and not let her suffer any grievances! How can I trust you to take care of her in the future if you act like this?" Andy's eyes turned deep as he scolded Shawn. Shawn was stunned for a moment, lowering his eyes. "I'm sorry," he apologized to Ivy, unintentionally making her even more confused. "For this game, we both agreed to it willingly. You haven't done anything wrong; there's no need to apologize," she whispered to Shawn. However, he shook his head. "I need to reflect. At least on this point, I didn't protect you well, and you..." "Enough, stop talking about it. What's done is done. Don't keep bringing it up!" Ivy stamped her foot and left. "Ivy, wait for me." Emma smiled, chasing after her and affectionately linking arms with her. "Come, let's go prepare dinner for your grandfather together." Ivy nodded. Back at home, Emma busied herself arranging things, while Ivy, who could only make instant noodles, helped wash vegetables. "Mom, I've been busy with Shawn and Professor Erica's matters lately, and I neglected you. I'm really sorry," Ivy apologized.Listening to Uncle Jim, she had been taking care of her grandfather all this time, not resting much, and even lost 10 pounds. However, Emma looked at it differently. "You don't need to apologize. I'm content. I'm not tired; the housemaids do all the heavy lifting. I'm just here to accompany. Besides, now that there's something to do, I'm not bored anymore. I spend every day feeling fulfilled." Pausing her actions, Emma hesitated for a while and then said, "Ivy, I've enrolled in a management class." "Really?!" Ivy was overjoyed. "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" "It's just been a month. Since your grandfather wants to establish a foundation to help poor patients with brain tumors, and Dom usually manages H Capital, he's too busy. Moreover, letting him continue managing would only add to his burden. So, I discussed it with Dom, and besides studying, I'll also help establish the foundation. I'll use both hands and feet to get things done. If I don't understand, I'll ask Dom, preparing for future management," Emma explained. Ivy pulled her mother to the sofa in the living room, carefully listening to her narrative, silent and appreciative. Emma talked for a long time. Seeing Ivy remain silent for a long time, she became a bit uncertain. "Ivy, do you think I am making things difficult for myself?" Unexpectedly, Ivy shook her head and encouraged her, "I think you're particularly charming now. Mom, don't think about the consequences. Just go all out to study and get what you want. Time will prove everything,” Ivy hugged her mother's hand, gently rubbing her face against it. Emma sat beside her daughter, gazing tenderly at the independent and rational girl she had raised. "Then promise me, take good care of yourself, recover as soon as possible, and get back to the operating table. Let's work hard together." Ivy was momentarily surprised but quickly understood her mother's well-intentioned concern. She smiled and squinted her eyes, asking, "Isn't it a good idea to take this opportunity to spend more time with you and Grandpa?" "The usual companionship is enough; You naturally belongs to the hospital and the operating table, so don't make your patients and colleagues wait too long," Emma explained. She touched her daughter's face, feeling both emotional and distressed. "The past is over; don't dwell on it. What you should do is move forward courageously." "I know." Ivy stuck out her tongue. "I'll recover soon." "That's good. Let's prepare a good meal for your grandfather quickly. He's like a child now; if he doesn't eat on time, he'll get upset and throw a tantrum." With that, they headed to the kitchen to get busy.Meanwhile, at the hospital, several big men sat together, their faces gloomy. "When are you going to confess your identity?" Dom asked Shawn with a stern expression. Shawn shook his head, admitting that he was deeply entangled in a dilemma. Dom sneered, "You're really useless." A cold gleam passed through Shawn's eyes in response. Andy said, "Or, during my discharge from the hospital. It happens that I want to host a banquet for all the wealthy businessmen and political figures in the city. You can attend as Cato Alter, and..." If initially, they started acting for fun, Andy couldn't help but admit that now it felt a bit burdensome. He thought that delaying the revelation would not be good for Ivy's illness and would also not be beneficial to him. Ivy might blame him as well. Thinking of this, Andy took a deep breath. "Forget it, let's do it a month later. By then, Ivy's mood should have recovered, and you can apologize during my banquet. Ivy will probably take into consideration that you're about to undergo surgery and won't blame you." "But Grandpa..." "Enough with the 'buts.' If you keep hesitating, divorce is the only option for you." Andy waved his hand decisively, setting the tone for Shawn's confession. ***
