Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 471

On the way to Ivy's hometown.

The team Leo had dispatched earlier called back with the details.

They reported that the police had caught the culprits who tried to kidnap Ivy.

Interrogations revealed that Bianca Channing, the celebrity, had paid them to harm Ivy.

Bianca's motive was simply jealousy—she believed Ivy had stolen the man she loved, and in her blind rage, she orchestrated the attack.

After hearing the report, Alaric coldly instructed Leo, "Throw her in prison. Make sure she never sees the light of day again."

Leo understood perfectly. "Understood."

Meanwhile, Ivy was still at the hospital taking care of Xavier, completely unaware of the news from the police.

At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes were resting at the hotel.

When the nurse came to change Xavier's bandages, she turned to Ivy standing nearby.

"Family members should gently massage the patient's limbs to promote blood circulation. If he feels uncomfortable, you can also help him sponge bathe."

Ivy nodded in agreement.

But as soon as the nurse left, Xavier quickly said to Ivy,

"If you're not comfortable with this, just find a nurse to handle it!"

Ivy shook her head. "It's no problem at all. I used to do this for patients all the time. Don't worry, I'm experienced. I won't hurt you."

Ivy wasn't viewing Xavier with any romantic or gendered lens.

She simply saw him as a patient.

In the eyes of a medical professional, patients had no gender.

Furthermore, Xavier was injured because he saved her.

Taking care of him herself was the only way to show her genuine gratitude.

Ivy pulled back the blanket and began massaging Xavier's legs with firm, steady pressure.

Honestly, Xavier felt incredibly awkward.

But he couldn't bring himself to reject Ivy's kindness.

Even though he knew this girl belonged to Alaric and he had no right to desire her.

But in that moment, he allowed himself to forget the boundaries.
