At this moment, in the hospital room, Shawn had just finished surgery and was feeling weak. He hoped to listen to the work report and then rest. However, Assistant Luke, to express his dissatisfaction, dragged out a half-hour report into a three-hour one. Closing the laptop, Assistant Luke concluded, "Above is our report. As the executive assistant to the CEO of DT Investment, I will take a half-day off." Shawn nodded in agreement. However, after waiting for a few minutes without Assistant Luke leaving, there was confusion in Shawn's dark eyes. Assistant Luke said, "In the next period, Lawyer Brown and I will jointly criticize Mr. Tate in our private capacities." Shawn: "..." "Shawn, are you really not cherishing your life?" Jasson was the first to speak, "Being kidnapped is such a serious matter. Instead of thinking about protecting yourself and minimizing the harm, you're hurting yourself. What's going on in your head!" Shawn didn't bother pretending, as his secretive actions were revealed at this moment. Assistant Luke added, "The dean secretly handed me a medical report, saying that during the examination of your legs, severe impact from a hard object was found. It's clear from the method and the wound marks that it was self-inflicted. Moreover, this wound is the main culprit that almost completely destroyed your legs. Mr. Tate, please explain!" Shawn was still quite weak. Although the surgery was uneventful, it had almost cost him his life. Yes, he had inflicted harm on himself when Harry and the kidnappers weren't paying attention. "Shawn, don't think I don't know what you're up to." Jasson became angrier as he spoke, more helpless as he became angrier. "You think that by hurting yourself, Ivy will realize her love for you. In the face of life and death, she'll surely forgive everything. But have you ever thought that this risky behavior, if you really died, wouldn't it be a loss? Your guards could have obviously saved you, given that you already knew Harry was following you. However, you chose to stop them from arresting Harry." "But in the end, I'm fine, and she forgave me. Everyone's happy, right?" Shawn weakly said, with a hint of a triumphant smile on his lips. Angered, Jasson kicked his hospital bed, "This is just your luck! The probability of your self-inflicted death is at least 60%!"Assistant Luke added, "This time, I withheld the dean's examination report. Have you ever thought about what would happen if this report fell into your wife's hands? What would you do?" The three of them argued fiercely, completely unaware that outside the ward, Sanders, responsible for keeping watch, looked frustrated and helpless. Damn it, the ward door wasn't properly closed and had a wide gap. What was even more damning was that standing in front of him and the bodyguard, who had listened to the whole conversation, was Ivy, along with her mother and her best friend. Lilith and Emma tightly grabbed Ivy's arms to prevent her from falling, swaying unsteadily. Emma felt both heartache and helplessness. "Ivy..." She wanted to comfort her in a low voice, but Ivy just took a deep breath and walked away. Emma quickly caught up, and after glaring at Sanders, even she left. Sanders was at a loss. He wiped his face dejectedly and turned to Assistant Luke, "Assistant Luke, come out right away." In just a few seconds, Assistant Luke came out. Sanders pulled him into a corner and told him everything that had just happened. As he expected, he saw a deathly fear on Assistant Luke's face. "Where's Madam?" Sanders shook his head like a drum. "Aren't you sending someone to follow her?" he shouted in a low voice, afraid his boss would find out. Lowering his voice, he said in great pain, "Find an excuse to get Lawyer Brown out quickly. I'll go after Madam." Then he ran off quickly. Assistant Luke was anxious. This was really not something that should be done. Who could have expected that his boss, after going to great lengths and almost losing his life, would think he could win back the favor of his wife? But now, happiness hadn't lasted a day before someone exposed the truth. It was worse than before. Now, it was settling both old and new scores.Assistant Luke ran to the parking lot, and sure enough, he saw the Livingston family's car just starting. He didn't dare to think too much and chased after it quickly. Placing his hands on the front of the car, Assistant Luke shouted breathlessly, "Madam, please don't go. Perhaps Mr. Tate's methods were wrong, but he had no choice. Madam, please give Mr. Tate another chance!" Ivy sat in the driver's seat, tightly gripping the steering wheel. With the window rolled down, she said to Assistant Luke, "Assistant Luke, this matter has nothing to do with you. I need some time to be alone." "But..." Assistant Luke ran to the window of the driver's seat, still not giving up. "Madam, please go back and have a good talk with Mr. Tate, okay? If you don't want him, he might as well be dead." "He deceived me so much, can't I have some personal time to calm down?" Ivy sneered at Luke. "His feelings are feelings, but what about mine? In order to make him happy, I have to sacrifice myself, is that right?" "It's not like that." Luke tightly grasped the window frame, wanting to explain. Lilith couldn't bear it anymore and burst out, "Luke, I advise you to let go now, don't go too far. If you let her calm down now, we can still ensure that Shawn will see her in the future. If you continue to entangle, don't blame me for not warning you. At that time, not only will she not let him know, but she won't even let him hear any news!" "I..." Luke wanted to persuade again, but when the words reached his mouth, he ultimately gave up. At this point, what identity did he have to persuade? Ivy was right; she needed time. Thinking of this, he bitterly smiled and finally let go. And the car didn't disappoint him; it left in a hurry. Luke, with a disheveled appearance, returned to the ward entrance, and Jasson had already come out. "How is it, Luke?" He anxiously grabbed his arm, shaking it so hard that he almost scattered Luke's soul. "Lawyer Brown, you're about to shake him to death." Sanders rolled his eyes.Jasson then restrained his emotions and whispered, "How is it?" Luke recounted everything that had just happened, and in the end, he asked Jasson, "She seems extremely disappointed. Should we tell Mr. Tate now?" Jasson shook his head, "Shawn just woke up, and his body is unstable. Let's wait for a couple of days." "But what if Mr. Tate wants to see his wife?" "You fool, just find a reason." Jasson loosened his collar. This matter had to have a plausible explanation. "He's still asleep now. You guys watch over him; I'll go try talking to Ivy." He stood up and glanced at the ward, instructing, "Don't let anyone from the Livingston family come to see him these days. If Shawn asks why he hasn't seen Ivy yet, just say that there's something going on with the Livingston family, and she'll come to see him soon." As he spoke, he quickly rushed out of the hospital. ***
