Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 116

Jennifer glared at him. "Why should I answer it? It's your mother."

The phone still rang.

Ivan asked, "Is this how you take care of a patient?" He raised the hand on the drip. "It's inconvenient for me to do it. Can't you see?"

Jennifer wasn't in the mood to argue with him. She swiped to answer and put the phone on speaker mode.

"Hello, Ivan. Take Alfie and Dianna to Kelsington Bay this Saturday," Aubree went straight to the point, "They are adorable. I miss them."

Jennifer was surprised.

Ivan looked up, and his gaze met Jennifer's.

While he was in silence, Aubree misunderstood that he hesitated.

"What? Afraid I would give them a hard time?" She sounded displeased.

Jennifer hurriedly dodged Ivan's gaze, letting him make his own decision.

Ivan thought for a moment and answered calmly, "Stop overthinking, Mom. Why would I be worried about that? I'm glad you like the children. I'll let them accompany you more."

"OK. Take the children here for lunch this Saturday," said Aubree, "Don't take Jennifer Brooks. I don't like her."

Then she hung up the phone.

Embarrassment was written all over Jennifer's face.

'You don't like me? Humph! Think I like you, huh?'

Ivan enjoyed seeing her angry little face. He asked, "You promised to treat my mother. When will you start?"

"I've read her medical records several times," Jennifer answered solemnly after returning to her senses, "As I said earlier, her mental condition is more severe than her physical one. I'm making the treatment plan. Honestly speaking, I've looked for the cause of the fire online but failed to find anything. I guess there must be some specific reasons behind it."

"I'll tell you the reasons tonight," Ivan said mellowly.

Jennifer looked at him in disbelief.

However, he didn't seem to be joking with her. He must have thought twice before making up his mind, right?

"Are you curious?" he asked. "Then you should serve me well. Give me a glass of water."
