Taken aback, Mr. Woods paused.
Lucas' mother did not continue further, so he followed Ivy outside; his gaze on Ivy had softened significantly.
"Have you found your biological parents?" Mr. Woods asked Ivy.
Ivy nodded.
"Do your biological parents have a lot of money?" he continued.
Ivy nodded again.
Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Apart from Lucas, you haven't been involved with men, right?"
Ivy nodded once more.
A smile graced Mr. Woods's face. "That's great, Irene. I believe you're a good child. After all, you worked for our family in the past, and I trust you. Moreover, you and Lucas have spent time together. You are a good-looking young lady, and your family's circumstances are good, so I won't stand in the way of your relationship. When you have the time, bring your family over, and let our families meet and have dinner together!"
"I come from Aryadelle," Ivy replied.
Mr. Woods was surprised. "Huh? You're from Aryadelle? That's quite far from here!"
"Yes," Ivy confirmed.
"In that case, take your time to talk things over with Lucas. If you decide to get married, both sets of parents should meet and discuss it," Mr. Woods advised.
"I understand," Ivy said.
The more Mr. Woods looked at Ivy, the more satisfied he felt with her. "I didn't notice it before, but you're really beautiful! No wonder Lucas likes you."
Ivy responded with a polite smile and chose not to say anything. She was well aware that Lucas did not have a good relationship with his father, so she kept her interactions with Mr. Woods minimal.
After Mr. Woods left, Ivy and Caspian left the hospital as well.
