The Villainess Needs a Hug (Ivy Windsor) novel Chapter 943

Since she couldn't control the length of his life, she had to expand its depth.

That meant cherishing every single day they had together, experiencing as many new things as possible, and creating countless beautiful moments.

"Alright. Honestly, I feel strong enough right now, so why don't we get started on the planning?" Jamison couldn't wait. He harbored his own fears of his condition suddenly worsening, leaving him bedridden and completely dependent.

Ivy kept her tone light. "Sure! Just leave everything to me. You focus on resting and recovering so you can be a groomsman in peak condition!"

"Deal."

Using the wedding as a smokescreen, Ivy easily deceived Jamison, leaving him completely oblivious to anything unusual.

Even when she didn't visit him for an entire day, he didn't think twice about it, assuming his wife was just busy meeting with wedding planners.

Over the next two days, Ivy underwent exhaustive pre-op examinations and passed the hospital's ethics review board.

Everything was in place; all she needed now was the green light.

Having cleared every hurdle, Ivy went to plead her case once more. "Director Wylde, I've passed all the assessments. Please, let's do it tomorrow. Every day sooner we operate is a day sooner he can start recovering."

Director Wylde fully understood her urgency and was deeply moved by the profound love between the couple.

While fast-tracking the procedure bent the rules slightly, he was willing to risk the professional blowback to ensure the surgery went smoothly. He finally agreed. "Alright, tomorrow it is. Make sure you fast for eight hours beforehand—no food or water."

"Got it. But what about him? Does he need to fast too?" Ivy worried about how to trick Jamison into not eating or drinking.

"That's easy. I'll put in a medical order right now saying he needs a liver CT scan first thing in the morning, which requires fasting." Having been drafted into this grand deception of love, Director Wylde's lying skills were improving by the day.

"Perfect. Thank you, Director Wylde."

When Ivy returned to the room, Jamison glanced at her, his expression as tender as ever. "Another busy day? How are the preparations coming along?"

"The initial plan is set, but I want it to be a surprise, so I'm not telling you any details." Ivy was practically a natural at lying by now.

Jamison looked genuinely excited.

That night, Ivy was uncharacteristically clingy, holding Jamison tightly and falling asleep curled up in his arms.

After all, once the surgery was over, they would be forced into separate hospital beds for at least a couple of weeks.

The next morning, they both woke up early.

Ivy made sure to remind him, "You have a scan later, so remember—no food or water."
