When Ivy woke up again, she found herself in the ordinary clinic's ward. Her mother and Lilith were sitting on either side of her, their eyes swollen. Seeing her wake up, Emma hurriedly said, "Don't get up, you need to rest." Ivy rubbed her tired eyes and asked, "Where are Professor Alter and Professor Watson?" "They've gone to City S," Lilith quickly replied, fearing that if she didn't explain things thoroughly, Ivy might try to rush to City S. She continued, "Professor Alter wants you to rest properly. Your back wound got infected, and you've been overworking yourself for several days, which led to fatigue and fever." Ivy looked at the bright light outside the window and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" "Just one night," Emma replied, tears streaming down her face. She continued, "Ivy, please listen to me and rest properly. You're my only family. If something happens to you, what will I do?" "Mom..." Ivy looked at her worried and tired mother, feeling a pang of pain in her heart. "I won't go. I'll rest and then go to City S." Her eyes couldn't help but glance towards the door, and her dry eyes held a hint of hope, tinged with disappointment. Emma understood her daughter very well. "I didn't tell Shawn." "Who said I'm thinking about him?" Ivy muttered, irritated. She turned back to her mother, avoiding Lilith's mischievous gaze, feeling frustrated. Emma continued, "For one, I'm afraid he would get jealous and throw a temper tantrum if he found out you fainted due to work-related stress. Second, he's gone to City S, and you seem to be recovering well, so I decided not to tell him to save him the trouble of traveling back and forth between City S and City A." "Okay," Ivy accepted this reasoning, understanding Shawn's temperament. If he found out she had fainted due to her concern for Lilith and the subsequent altercation, there would surely be a huge confrontation. Why was this man so stubborn? Lilith was her childhood friend. What did it matter? She couldn't remember that she had once suspected that Shawn and Jasson were a loving gay couple who wanted to marry her. Meanwhile, in City S, Shawn suddenly sneezed. "I'm sorry," he said apologetically to Andy Livingston. "I'll be right back."Andy watched him go to the restroom and, upon his return, asked, "Has there been any progress?” Shawn shook his head. "There's someone whose age and last name match the description you provided, but whether they are your close relative is still uncertain." "That's simple. I'll meet her in person and, if it's appropriate, we'll do a DNA test." Shawn remained silent. He was eager for this, but if a DNA test proved that Emma was Andy’s daughter, Ivy would be his granddaughter. As her potential grandfather-in-law, he would have to meet him in the future. There would be no avoiding it. "Cato, what's your concern?" Andy inquired. "None," Shawn said as he snapped out of his thoughts. "Her daughter is already in City S. You can go meet her first." Andy, upon hearing this, had a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "When did she arrive? What's her name?" "Ivy Rosalia Jones." "Ivy..." Andy murmured for a moment. "Is it the County Clinic's doctor who was selected as tomorrow's rising star in City A?" "Yes." "She... I remember she was involved in a fatal accident due to negligence three years ago, isn't she?" Shawn's expression darkened abruptly, and he frowned as he replied, "You'll know the kind of person she is when you meet her in person." He turned and instructed his assistant to call Professor Erica. The assistant quickly dialed Professor Alter's number and said, "Professor Alter, is Dr. Jones still busy?" "Luke, I'm quite busy as well. If you want to reach Dr. Jones, call her yourself. Why are you calling me?" Erica was in the middle of a tense discussion with Professor Watson about hospital layout, thinking that the assistant's call was about an emergency involving Shaen. She put down her work, only to find out that it was about Ivy. "She's at the county clinic, and she fainted from a fever. She'll come tomorrow.""What?!" The assistant was stunned and looked at his boss in panic. Shawn also heard it, and his heart ached. He wanted to react but was restrained by Andy, who was present. He could only look at Andy without making a sound. "Since Dr. Jones can't make it until tomorrow, how if I ask Luke to coordinate..." "No need, I'll go see her in person," Andy replied with great anticipation. Although it was just a matter of luck, they had to handle it carefully. After all, whether she was a family member or not, a genetic test would be required. If it confirmed their relation, they could announce it publicly. If not, making a big fuss would not be good for the young girl. With this in mind, Andy made up his mind. After sending Shawn away, he instructed his assistant, "Find out what kind of vehicle that girl--Ivy, is using to come here. We'll go pick her up." "Yes." At this moment, in Livingston's family parking lot, as soon as the assistant helped his boss into the car, he saw Shawn furiously pound the back of the seat. The people in the other bodyguard car were originally joking and chatting, but they instantly fell silent when they heard the commotion, as if they had entered a hellish realm. The assistant handed a bottle of mineral water to Shawn and said, "Mr. Tate, she just doesn't want you to worry..." "How is that possible?!" Shawn rubbed his temples irritably. "She's deliberately avoiding me, not letting me interfere in her life. In her world, her mother comes first, work comes second, Lilith comes third, and I don't even make the top four!" The founder of the mighty DT Investment, a decisive decision-maker in the business world, was now actually jealous of a woman inside a car. If it had been five years ago, even the special assistant wouldn't have dared to imagine such a situation. But now, this had become a reality. The special assistant was rendered speechless but dared not say a word. He quickly made a call to Emma to confirm that Ivy was safe. Once he got the assurance that everything was fine, he felt relieved. Ending the call, he said, "Mr. Tate, Mrs. Tate is now fine and is getting ready to come to City S. I believe she will stay in City S for some time. Should we..." The special assistant was about to ask if they should stay in City S. However, to his surprise, the furious patriarch coldly looked at him and said, "She treats me like a stranger. Why would I stay here?" Cato Alter had always been pursued by various women, wanting to see him, please him. Ivy was the first one to dismiss him so completely. She didn't even give him a second thought! He needs to return to the City A! "Yes, we're going back to City A right now," the assistant quickly reassured the nearly frantic lion in front of him. After sending a message to the bodyguard to return to City A, he found a junction and prepared to change direction. Half an hour later, they saw a sign on the highway indicating the direction to City A. Shawn, who had just finished a phone conference, furrowed his brow. "Who told you to return to City A?” The assistant was puzzled. "But just now, you..." "The conference in City S isn't over yet. Who told you to make the decision to return on your own?" The assistant was frustrated. The conference had ended ages ago! Men's minds are truly hard to fathom! "Yes, my mistake," the assistant consoled him. "We still have several important meetings in City S. I made a mistake." So, the car made a sharp turn at the exit and headed back to City S. The bodyguard car following behind them watched the two cars on the highway circling around like idiots. They blinked their eyes, and in the end, they looked at Sanders, who was deeply puzzled. Sanders raised his head slightly, gazing at the sky with a mysterious and unpredictable expression. "It seems that our boss has fallen in love." The bodyguards nodded in understanding, turned their vehicles around, and followed back to City S. ***
