She was of the opinion that Hayden not marrying was not the worst thing in life. As long as that was what he wanted, she did not find any fault with his choice. "Dad, I don''t understand why parents always want their kids to get married," Ivy said.


    "I don''t know about other parents, but I want you all to get married because marrying your mom gave me great happiness. I''m happier married to her than I ever was when I was single. My family has made my life so meaningful, so naturally, I want all of you to find a partner to support you, to listen to you when you need to vent, and to take care of you when you are sick. Humans are social creatures, after all." Ivy realized something. "Don''t force Hayden to get married if he doesn''t want to, though. I don''t want you to fight." She could not imagine what would happen if Hayden and Elliot fought.


    Elliot smiled bitterly. "I''m just telling you what I think. I would never say these things to him."Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Are you drunk as well, Dad?" Ivy could smell the faint scent of alcohol on Elliot and smiled. "You are more talkative."


    "Maybe, but I''m always willing to talk to you if you want to talk."


    Once they arrived home, Ivy went to take a shower as the scent of alcohol hadtched onto her clothes, and she had not drunk a drop.


    Feeling refreshed, she recalled all the things that had happened and what Elliot had said to her earlier that night.


    Everything was getting better.


    Before she turned off the lights, she sent another message to the number Lucas used back in Taronia.


    [Mr. Lucas, do you think I will make a good TV host? I used to have such low self-esteem, and I want to ovee my fear to be someone better.]


    Lucas was no longer using the


    number, and all the messages she


    had sent in the past had not been


    seen, so she saw it as a way of venting her emotions and


    expressing her thoughts.


    At nine the next morning, Harry arrived at Elliot''s mansion, and Ivy immediately led him to the piano room on the first floor.


    It was a spacious room with two pianos that belonged to La and Robert respectively.


    Since La was working and Robert had gotten into university, the room was left vacant most of the time.


    "I''ve printed some materials. Have a


    look. Maybe you''ve seen these in your textbook as well. These notes condense the material you have in your textbook." Harry handed her a pile of notes.


    Ivy epted them and read them attentively.


    "In order to develop clear speech, it is important to learn how to control your breath. That''s the only way that you won''t panic when the show starts. I''ll teach you a few effective breathing techniques. Practice more and you will notice a change soon," Harry said.


    "Okay, Mr. Gardner."


    Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, the hospital informed Avery of some great news they had received: they had found a heart that matches Eric.


    Once the analysis report was out, they immediately reached out to Avery, who hurried to the hospital right away.
