The doctor pushed the door open and entered. “Don’t worry, Ms. Saunders. You are not severely injured. Rest home for a few days. You’ll recover.”


    “OK. Thank you, Doc.”


    Mya was still wearing the wedding dress. Her coiled-up hair was messy, but she still looked charming, adding a pleasant view to the ward.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The doctor nodded at them and left.


    The door wasn’t locked, so rence walked in directly. Seeing his daughter in a wedding dress, he was in a trance, bing excited.


    “Dad?” Mya gaped at him. “Here you came…” She turned to check on Finnley.


    “Good afternoon, Mr. Saunders.” Finnley hurriedly stood up.


    rence couldn’t calm down at all. As a father, he had countlessly imagined his daughter’s wedding.


    He watched Mya in a wedding gown, tears welling up in his eyes.


    He had to admit time had flown, and his daughter had grown up.


    “Dad, I only had some scratches. My hair was dragged. Nothing severe,” Mya said in a rxed tone, “I don’t need to stay here. We can leave now.”


    “That’s good. That’s good…” rence finally felt relieved.


    “You are too busy. Didn’t I tell you not toe here?” Mya felt touched.


    “I’m worried about you, silly girl.”


    Suddenly, rence’s phone rang. He received a call from his office. “OK. OK. I’ll be right there.”


    After hanging up, he said to Finnley, “I’ll leave Mya to you, Finnley. Thank you for taking care of her.”


    “Of course, Mrs. Saunders. Please go ahead.”


    rence nodded at them and walked out of the ward.


    After a few steps, he saw the elevator doors slide open. Ivan and Jennifer appeared. rence felt a sense of guilt, his heart tightening.


    He had learned Ivan was checking him, so he felt frightened.


    However, as a city mayor, rence had experienced ups and downs and had excellent acting skills. Wearing a smile, he strode towards the Marsh couple. “Good afternoon, Mr. Marsh, Ms. Brooks. Are you here to see Mya?”


    Ivan looked into his eyes and stopped before him. “How’s Mya doing? Was she injured severely?”


    “Good afternoon, Mayor Saunders,” Jennifer greeted him like usual.


    rence nodded at them in response. “No, she’s not severely injured. She has just finished the checkup. No need to check in.”


    “She saved Alfie and Diana,” Jennifer said gratefully, “Thanks to Mya. Or our children would have been kidnapped.”


    “Thank you for making time to see her. I just left her ward. The doctor gave an X-ray on her belly and told her she only needed some rest.”


    Jennifer also felt relieved.


    Ivan gazed at rence intensely as if he had seen through rence.


    Under his gaze, rence felt pretty uneasy but kept an awkward smile. “Mr. Marsh, Ms. Brooks, how are your children? Were they frightened?”


    “They are all right,” Ivan answered in a low voice, “My children are not timid. They have experienced a lot of things.”


    “Of course. Of course.” rence kept a smile but couldn’t find other words to continue the conversation.


    Jennifer understood Ivan’s implication, also feeling awkward.


    Her gaze swept between Ivan and rence, only to find thetter looking unnatural with cold sweat on his forehead.


    Ivan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “Mayor Saunders, we know you are busy, so we won’t hold you up too long. Please excuse us.”


    “OK. OK,” rence talked incoherently while wearing a big smile, “I’m going to my office for something urgent.”


    “Ehn.” Ivan nodded at him.


    Only then did rence stride away, his heart hammering. He couldn’t help wondering how much Ivan had known about his deeds.


    rence couldn’t figure it out.
