Ivy and Alaric spent the entire day practically glued to each other in a haze of passionate bliss.
The next day, she returned to work as usual.
When she walked into the VIP suite, she saw Gemma completely engrossed in the television, looking quite relaxed.
As Ivy set up her IV, she asked casually.
"What are you watching? You look utterly mesmerized."
Gemma flashed her a bright smile.
"It's a drama starring Hazel's third brother. Ivy, I never imagined that a massive superstar like Tristan was actually Hazel's biological brother. I'm a huge fan of his. Could you ask Hazel if I could meet him in person when he gets back?"
Ivy looked slightly puzzled. "Why don't you ask Hazel yourself?"
Hearing this, Gemma lowered her head, her deep-seated insecurities silencing her instantly.
Ivy quickly picked up on her sister's sensitivity and gave her shoulder a comforting squeeze.
"Alright, I'll mention it to Hazel later. How are you feeling today? Still nauseous?"
Gemma shook her head. "I'm feeling much better."
Remembering something, she looked up at her older sister.
"Ivy, are you really not going to think about what Hazel suggested? Her oldest brother is genuinely handsome and seems so capable."
If Ivy could end up with Hazel's brother, it would be the perfect scenario.
At the very least, Xavier was a highly distinguished man who seemed like a perfect match for her.
But her current husband? Not only did they not know what he looked like, but he was also a divorced man with a five-year-old child.
She really couldn't fathom what Ivy had been thinking when she married him.
Hearing this, Ivy lightly flicked Gemma's forehead.
"You ungrateful little brat. You were just praising your brother-in-law for getting you this amazing VIP room, and now you're turning your back on him?"
Gemma frowned, rubbing her head as she pouted.
"I just want what's best for you."
"I'm doing great right now. Besides, can't you tell? Ever since I got married, we haven't been short on money, which proves he treats me incredibly well."
"Don't ever mention me divorcing your brother-in-law again, do you understand?"
Ivy knew her marriage with Alaric wasn't built to last forever.
She didn't harbor any grand illusions.
She was simply going to ride it out for as long as it lasted.
At the very least, she was completely satisfied and happy being with him right now.
She really had only cared about studying in the past.
But being cooped up in the hospital was so boring that she had started binge-watching shows and fell in love with his acting.
The three sisters chatted happily for a bit longer before Ivy returned to her rounds.
Foster Towers.
Leo Archer pushed open the door to the CEO's office, respectfully presenting an elegant invitation with both hands.
"Sir, Mr. Rhodes has found his long-lost sister. The Rhodes family is hosting a welcome gala next month, and they've invited you to attend."
Alaric took the invitation and gave it a cursory glance.
He wasn't particularly interested.
However, the Foster and Rhodes families had close ties and frequent business dealings, so he realistically needed to make an appearance.
He instructed Leo, "Clear my schedule for it."
Leo nodded and exited the room.
Alaric was just about to dive into his work when thoughts of Ivy surfaced in his mind, prompting him to pick up his phone and call her.
Ivy was in the hospital pharmacy prepping medications. Seeing no one around, she answered the phone with an exasperated sigh.
"What is it now? This is the fifth time you've called me today."
