Chapter 2549


    Mara paced restlessly around the room. ra’s words earlier hit her like a punch, forcing her to see the


    reality.


    That’s right, what was she hesitating for? Now with Alyssa unconscious, it’s the most convenient time


    to take action. Especially after Ivy’s promotional tour, when she’ll have fame, fortune, and Balfour –


    how could Mara bear that!


    “Ivy, it’s time you pay the price. Cherish the time you had with Balfour since it will be a small


    constion to you.”


    The next day, Alyssa was still unconscious, and Ivy attended to her alone in the hospital room.


    As nned with Balfour earlier, Ivy would take care of Alyssa after finishing her tasks. They would take


    turns caring for her, and Dean wouldn’t have to stay at the hospital all day.


    Mara arrived with a fruit basket, iming to visit Alyssa. Seeing the olddy lying on the bed, Mara


    couldn’t help but cry. She covered her mouth to suppress her sobs and, evidently, felt deeply upset.


    Ivy massaged Alyssa’s palms without giving Mara much attention. Otherwise, her act would never stop.


    “I’m so sorry, Ms. Dunhill, I lost myposure in front of you. I’ve known Alyssa for many years, seeing


    her like this…it’s just heartbreaking.”


    Ivy only gave a half-smile. “Ms. Lewis doesn’t need to be so sad. The doctor has already said that


    Grandma has received the best care, and it’s only a matter of time before she gets better. There’s no


    need to cry so…”


    Embarrassed, Mara turned away to wipe her eyes. After putting the fruit basket down, she showed no


    signs of leaving. “You must be bored taking care of Alyssa all by yourself. So, how about I keep you


    company today? When Balfoures, I can leave then.”

    Ivy was indifferent, already predicting Mara’s ns. Since she hade with an excuse to visit, it was


    clear she wouldn’t leave easily. After all, her real purpose was to see Balfour, not genuinely visit Alyssa.


    “It’s quite a shame for a young, beautiful actress like you to be cooped up in this hospital room, minding


    an elderly woman,” Mara sarcastically remarked.


    Mara also began massaging Alyssa’s hand, mimicking Ivy’s earlier actions. However, her gripcked


    any gentleness, and soon Alyssa’s hand had be quite red.


    Ivy was just about to raise her concerns and spoke up. “I don’t quite understand the point you’re trying


    to make, Ms. Lewis.”


    Maraughed, “Why even pretend between us? We’re both women; I know you’re very career-focused.


    To be stuck in here because of Alyssa’s situation, missing out on important career opportunities like fan


    meet-and-greets, tell me you’re not even a little resentful?”


    “Ms. Lewis, please don’t presume to know my feelings. Grandma means the world to me. I’m not like


    you.”
