Chapter 69: 70. Her Story
At that, an indignant Michael Gordon responded upon hearing these words: “My woman is by my side, we’ve just made love last night, while the mother of your child has been gone for several months. Could it be that you’ve overcome your obsession with cleanliness and slept with another woman?”
Oliver Thompson: “…”
“Given the pained expression on the face of your woman, you’re certain it was only last night?” Oliver Thompson chuckled lightly, extinguishing the cigar in his hand. “You must either have a perverse taste or no humanity at all.”
When it came to sharp retorts, Oliver Thompson could be considered a semi-expert — his handling of women was undoubtedly more versed than Michael Gordon’s. After all, his lady had to face the pain of death every single month!
Michael Gordon: “…”
It was now Michael Gordon’s turn to be left speechless.
This guy was unbelievable! He could spot a woman’s issue at a single glance. In his heart, Young Master Gordon gave this twisted and lewd man a hundred thorough salutes!
“Mr. Thompson, Mr. Gordon, Miss Aretha is perfectly fine!”
Upon seeing the two men walk in from outside, the leading doctor nodded and spoke in a trembling manner!
“Nothing unusual?” Oliver Thompson’s handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly, his handsome face showing a touch of chilling aura, “In other words, I’ve been feeding a bunch of useless loafers?”
Michael Gordon shot a cold glance at Oliver Thompson, then directly shoved aside the doctors who were still fiddling with various instruments on Ivy Aretha. He looked at the nervous Ivy on the bed and asked, “Ivy, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Ivy, already tense, became even more so at his question. A whole group of doctors couldn’t diagnose the cause, which meant either there was no issue, or it was a serious one!
If it was the latter, Ivy dared not believe it. Without her, how would her daughter survive!

“Michael Gordon, I want to go home!”
Ivy stared motionlessly at him, then after a pause firm and rasp voice said these words; the trembling echo of her crying voice reached Michael’s ears!
“Okay, we’ll go home, we’ll go home soon!”
Looking at the bed, at her dewy eyes, so full of endurance, Michael’s heart softened a bit, his chest feeling a little warm. He bent down and tenderly embraced her!
“If you want to go home, wait until they finish testing the blood samples. We must be absolutely sure!”
Once Oliver Thompson was done, he signaled the doctors to leave; and then, only the two of them were left in the room!
Michael gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, his gaze deeply falling onto her clear eyes, softly comforting her: “Don’t worry, Oliver’s medical team is the best in the world. If they say there’s no problem, then there surely isn’t. Let’s just wait for the blood tests and that phone call, okay?”
Michael’s voice, low and suppressed, as if trying to suppress his own emotions, he presented her with his best side. This was the gentlest and most emotional speech she’d ever heard from him since they met!
Even though his words were plain, they still deeply touched her indomitable heart, leaving an immovable impression!
“Can I borrow your phone to make a call?”
She had already promised Bella that she would be on the flight back. This assurance brought Ivy back down to Earth and calmed her restless heart.
The gears inside her head began to turn again!
She was really scared. Once there was something to worry about, there was no staying calm, and her worry was her daughter!
A ‘beep’ sound was heard, and a message came in. Michael scrolled through the messages on his phone, seeing a familiar yet unknown number!
Michael was shocked, seeing the message on his phone; he instantly realized it was Damian’s number, he sighed in relief!
It was just as he expected!
“Michael Gordon…”
Looking at the man sitting at the edge of her bed, head lowered to read the messages, Ivy wanted to speak but hesitated, some words just wouldn’t come out!
“If you have some final words, just say it!”
Seeing her face, having accepted her fate, Michael couldn’t resist a light chuckle. Knowing she wasn’t in any danger, Michael’s mood had instantly cleared up, even joking around!
“Michael Gordon, you’re such a scoundrel. Taking poison could kill you!”
Ivy, initially melancholic, was jolted out of her mood by his teasing, and her sadness disappeared instantly, replaced by anger. She wanted to strangle the man before her to death!
“You knew it could kill people, and you still played the hostage!” Once she was assured that she was alright, Michael’s mood lightened and he flicked her forehead, “Haven’t you thought about what would happen to Bella if something happened to you? She’s already lost her father, and you want her to lose her mother too?”
This woman, besides being gutsy, was also reckless!
Ivy looked at him in surprise. Did he believe her words now?
Did he accept that the child’s father was already dead?
Did that mean he wouldn’t fight for her child anymore?
“I couldn’t just stand by and watch someone die, right?”
It was a child, almost the same age as Bella, seeing her reminded her of her own daughter. She couldn’t just ignore everything. “Moreover, you were there. I trust you… you definitely wouldn’t let your secretary die on a business trip, that’s would be a huge loss!”
Michael’s gaze landed on Ivy’s somewhat unnatural face, twitching at the corner of his eye. Was he lacking in money?
A simple ‘I trust you to save me’ wouldn’t kill her!
Trusting in his charms as a man wasn’t a shameful thing. This woman was really hard to deal with!
“Ivy, admitting that you have feelings for a great man like me is not something to be ashamed of!” Michael leaned down to kiss her forehead, his lips curling into an enticing smile, “Admitting that you were testing your position in my heart is something every woman is accustomed to doing. You are a woman too, so… there’s no need to try so hard!”
Trying so hard on such a dangerous thing, she truly did… gave him quite a fright!
Fortunately it was Oliver Thompson, else he might not have been able to ensure her safety on another person’s turf!
He needed to take note of this trump card!
In an instant, Ivy’s mind went blank, a blush bloomed on her cheeks as her internal thoughts were spoken aloud!
This time, Michael was in a good mood and decided not to tease her further!
“Don’t worry, you’re already alright!” Michael laughed lightly as he messed up her already messy hair a little more, “What Damian gave you to eat was just a common vitamin C, which is why even Oliver’s doctor couldn’t find anything unusual with your body!”
“Common vitamin C?”
Ivy, shocked by the result, let out a scream. It was undeniable; her emotions were extremely high at the moment, with a tint of worry in the mix!
