Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 468

Just two days ago, he had seen her right beside Alaric.

He had only traveled out here because the stress from his company was giving him migraines, and he had promised his sister he'd check on her brother.

He never expected to not only run into Ivy, but to end up taking a knife for her.

"I came back to check on my brother."

Ivy sat in the chair, her head bowed, her face etched with profound distress.

"I don't know any of those men, and I have no idea why they wanted to kidnap me."

The police were already hunting the three thugs down; there was no way they'd be able to escape.

Once they were in custody, the truth would come out.

"Alright. I'm exhausted, I'm going back to sleep. Make yourself comfortable."

Perhaps the painkillers were finally kicking in, because Xavier closed his eyes and drifted off almost immediately.

Ivy didn't disturb him further. She simply sat quietly beside his bed, watching the IV drip.

She kept thinking about what would have happened if Xavier hadn't been there tonight. What kind of nightmare would she be living right now if those men had dragged her into that van?

She didn't know the exact answer.

But she knew it would have been a fate worse than death.

She had absolutely no idea how she was ever going to repay Xavier for this.

Should she go back and beg Mr. Foster to lift Tristan's blacklist?

Realizing that this man had literally taken a knife to the gut for her, she decided it was time to swallow the last shreds of her pride and beg Mr. Foster one more time.

Ivy pulled out her phone and removed Alaric's number from her block list.

She unblocked his WeChat as well.

Meanwhile, Alaric was enduring another sleepless night.

Seeing that Ivy had been gone for a full day and night with zero intention of returning, he reached his breaking point.

He had to see exactly where she was hiding.

Alaric marched into his study, booted up his computer, and used a tracker to pinpoint her phone's location.

The ping showed she had fled straight back to her hometown in Silverton.

That stubborn woman had completely ignored everything he had ever said.

Hadn't he specifically promised that once he finished his current projects, he would travel back to Silverton with her?

Yet she had just packed up and left all by herself.
