Chapter 2529


    But no matter what, the results of Alyssa’s emergency treatment were still unknown, and Dean was at


    the hospital by her side. How could these two young people just abandon their duties because they


    were heartbroken?


    They had to step up and take care of the family now.


    “Do you think I’m not worried?” Ivy’s eyes reddened, and she couldn’t bear to go on, fearing that one


    more word would reveal the quiver in her voice.


    She never wanted to think about it, but if she hadn’t had that extra drink, maybe Alyssa wouldn’t have


    come upstairs to check on her. Could it be that none of this would have happened?


    Alyssa and Magnolia had been having a great time chatting earlier that day. It was her birthday, and it


    was so rare to have all her old friends gathered together.


    They had thrown such a lively birthday party in hopes that Alyssa would have a great time, but it had


    ended like this. If they had known it would turn out this way, they might as well have had a quiet family


    dinner together. But what’s done is done, and there was no room for regret now. Ivy just wanted to


    figure out why it happened.


    Balfour couldn’t help but pull Ivy into his arms when he saw her like this. Both of them were struggling.


    He had been caught up in his own grief and hadn’t considered that Ivy was drowning in guilt just like


    him.


    “I’m sorry,” he murmured.


    Ivy shook her head continuously in his embrace, “It’s not your fault.”


    She wanted to reassure Balfour not to me himself. This ident was unforeseen, and


    neither of them had wanted things to turn out this way.


    Mara, sitting behind them, clenched her mouse tightly and finally couldn’t help but m down the cup


    she was holding, startling both of them.


    Balfour turned around with a frown, his gaze filled with displeasure as he said, “If you’re tired, I can


    arrange for you to rest in the guest room.”


    Mara had already put on a harmless expression.


    “I’m not tired. It just seems that Alyssa might have really fallen by ident.”


    Olivia had been silent the whole time, just observing, but suddenly she interjected, “Why? How do you


    know she fell by herself?”


    Mara’s speech halted, and she turned her face, angrily eyeing Olivia.


    Then Ivy spoke, calm and measured, “Yeah, not only does Olivia want to know, but I’m also curious


    how you came to that conclusion.”.


    Under the scrutiny of the three, Mara’s face slowly flushed, and she stuttered, pointing at theputer


    screen, “We’ve been looking for evidence for so long and haven’t seen anyone push Alyssa. Isn’t that


    proof enough? I know everyone’s heartbroken, but that doesn’t mean you can use someone


    unjustly because of your grief.”


    Olivia tilted her head as if she genuinely didn’t understand and continued, “If no suspect has been


    found, how is that using someone unjustly? We might not have found evidence of someone pushing


    Alyssa, but we haven’t found evidence of her falling on her own either, right? The most reliable thing


    would be to wait for Alyssa to wake up and ask her.”

    Mara frowned deeply, thinking no one saw her expression, but Ivy saw it all clearly.


    Mara sneered inwardly, ‘That old hag better be lucky to even wake up!’


    “Mara, do you disagree with what Olivia is saying? Or do you have another opinion?”
