The Villainess Needs a Hug (Ivy Windsor) novel Chapter 880

Jamison paused his conversation with his parents and took the phone. "Hello?"

"Uncle," Boyd's voice came from the other end, hesitant and stammering. "Um, I found out…"

Jamison's brow furrowed slightly. "Yes? Who was it?"

There was more hemming and hawing. "It was… I think it was my mom who said something."

Boyd's mother? Jamison thought of the distant relative, May, with some surprise. "How did she find out?"

"Well, my grandmother is also in the hospital, and my mom was here visiting her when she somehow found out. She asked me about it, wondering what was wrong with you and why I hadn't mentioned it. I immediately told her not to tell anyone, but I guess she couldn't help herself and told some family members when she got home…"

Boyd finished his explanation, his voice tight with anxiety. "I didn't tell you because I knew you needed to rest after your surgery. I thought telling her to keep quiet would be enough, but… well…"

"Uncle, I'm so sorry. My mom is on her way over to apologize to you in person."

Boyd was still sweating bullets. The old Jamison would have certainly lost his temper. But having gone through a major illness and now with his wife carrying twins, he had mellowed considerably, his emotions remarkably stable.

"Forget it. Tell her not to come. I'm not going to pursue it."

What was done was done. Fortunately, his parents hadn't been too severely affected by the news, so he couldn't be bothered to make a fuss. It was a stroke of luck, really. If they hadn't found out about the twins right at that moment to distract them, the impact would have been far more severe.

The call hadn't even ended when there was a knock on the door. Ivy looked up to see a middle-aged, well-dressed woman slipping into the room. Jamison glanced over, his brow tightening. *That was fast.*

Boyd was still talking on the other end, but Jamison wasn't listening. He muttered a quick dismissal and hung up.

"Uncle Danny, Auntie, you're here!" the woman said cheerfully, greeting the Ludwig elders with a warm smile. As Boyd's parent, she was from the nephew's generation, hence addressing Danny as ‘Uncle.'
