Chapter 97: 98. Speckled Memories
Chapter 97: 98. Speckled Memories
Michael Gordon allowed Ivy Aretha to sign this document to ease her mind. He wanted to show her through his actions that she was Bianca Aretha’s guardian, and that wouldn’t change!
Even if he had any thoughts, he wouldn’t deprive her of her rights as a mother!
What?
When did this happen?
She became the CEO’s mother without even knowing it?
Ivy was shocked!
Her clear eyes stared at Michael Gordon, filled with surprise, confusion, and various other emotions. For a moment, she was utterly stunned by the news!
What did he mean by doing this?
Was it to make amends?
Could it be that he wouldn’t fight with her for their daughter?
But just now, his words clearly meant that he wanted their daughter, and it was evident that he liked Bianca very much!
“Why?”
When Ivy spoke these words, her lips were trembling!
“No reason!”
Did Michael Gordon need a reason to buy a hospital for his daughter? “Didn’t you want to talk to me? Sign the papers and come out. I’ll wait for you in the lounge!”
After saying that, Michael Gordon went to Bianca’s hospital bed and kissed her face. Then, without a word, he left the room!
Bianca’s big round eyes darted between Ivy and Michael’s retreating figures until Michael completely disappeared from her sight.
So, she became the little CEO just like that?
If she heard correctly, was this hospital hers now?
Her mommy was the guardian!
Oh my, she went to the hospital and even found herself a dean! Was this the legendary rich and beautiful life?
Bianca thought it was necessary to sleep on it. She would think about this question when she wakes up!
“Miss Aretha, please sign the papers on behalf of the little CEO!”
The dean handed over a prepared document to Ivy and gently reminded her.
Ivy regained her senses and quickly signed the document. She instructed the personal doctor and nurse to look after the little girl, who was about to fall asleep, and then headed to the reception room!
The lounge was right next to the ward, and there was a reception room next to the hospital’s top-class wards!
Even though the lounge was only a few steps away, Ivy took a long time to walk there. When she finally reached the door, she suddenly didn’t have the courage to push it open!
Would they talk?
What about?
Regarding what happened six years ago, how should she explain? Tell the truth? That she caused his amnesia?
She could imagine Michael Gordon’s expression when he learned the news!
The moment Ivy pushed the door open, Michael’s tall, upright figure caught her eye. With his back to her, a cigar was held between his fingers. The faint smoke from the cigar filled the spacious reception room…
On this man, who had always been flaunting his domineering presence, she saw solitude!
Yes, that was the feeling, loneliness and isolation!
Ivy’s heart tightened, and a heartache-like feeling rose up in her chest!
“Mr. Gordon!”
While calling his name, Ivy couldn’t help but cough a few times. She was slightly allergic to cigarette smoke and would cough when she smelled it!

Hearing her voice, Michael turned around, first frowning and then extinguishing the cigar in the ashtray!
He hadn’t smoked for a long time!
Ever since he knew that she was not used to the smell of smoke, he stopped smoking. He couldn’t help but light one up last night after not getting a good night’s sleep and feeling restless.
“Sit down!”
Seeing her tense and somewhat stiff body, Michael motioned for her to sit down, and he completely extinguished the half-smoked cigar in his hand.
Because the room was ventilated, the cigar smoke quickly dissipated!
“Didn’t you want to talk to me?”
As Michael spoke, he sat down beside Ivy. His deep peach flower eyes met hers, and seeing her tense to the point where her eyelashes were slightly trembling, he suddenly smiled, “What, weren’t you always bold? You’re so nervous now. Are you afraid I’ll do something to you, because you feel guilty?”
Feeling guilty?
He was probably referring to Bianca. In that case, she felt a little guilty!
Before talking to him, Ivy had already played out countless scenarios in her mind. But when it came down to the actual conversation, she found herself lost for words!
What was wrong with her? The more he looked at her, the more nervous she became, and she was about to crush her fingers resting on her knees!
“All you did was steal my seed. Is it worth being so nervous?”
Seeing her nervous state, Michael moved closer to her and his eyes rested intently on her tense face. In just two days, the already small face had become even smaller!
At close range, the dark circles around her big eyes revealed that she hadn’t slept well the previous night.
Michael’s breath caught, and it felt like something was blocking his chest, making it uncomfortable. This discomfort spread all the way to his eyes, causing them to ache!
He should have come to be with her yesterday, considering such a big event had occurred!
However, based on her reaction today, he figured having him at her side would make her sleep even worse. Aside from worrying about their child’s condition, she might be more concerned about him trying to take their child away!
So, it was better to resolve this issue early!
Moreover, he had already made a decision!
After a while, he lazily opened his mouth again, “Just say it. For the sake of our child being so cute now, I won’t do anything to you!”
He won’t do anything to her?
What does that mean? She was never worried that he would do anything to her anyway!
“Mr. Gordon, I want to have a serious talk with you. As for Bianca, you can see that she’s accustomed to living with me now. She obviously can’t be without me. Although you are her father, in her eyes, you are still a stranger. So, I think it’d be better for her to continue living with me in the future. Of course, you’re free to visit her anytime!”
Without taking a breath, Ivy uttered everything in one go!
Michael Gordon, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and his arm supporting his chin, watched her silently as she spoke, not saying a word.
He nodded as he listened!
He acknowledged it very readily. He had thought she would deny that their child was his and would come up with some excuse that the child was his uncle or his cousin!
But she had always been smart, so how could she forget about the existence of DNA technology at the hospital!
Just as Ivy thought that his silence meant agreement, Michael looked at her lazily and said in a meaningful tone, “Anytime?”
His tone was filled with disbelief and contemplation!
“Yes, anytime!”
Ivy answered without hesitation!
“Alright, then move in with me!”
This way, he could truly be with her anytime, right?
Michael said it casually, but to Ivy, it was like a ticking time bomb buried deep in her heart that had just exploded!
