Chapter 162


    Wyatt trailed behind them.


    “Would you like to join me for lunch? Would you like some mantis shrimp?”


    Ivy, Windy, and Pierce all looked back at him and eximed, “No!”


    Wyatt cracked a grin.


    Ivy took the lead and walked to the car first, keeping two paces ahead of Wyatt, fearing he’d follow


    her like a leech.


    A brand-new car sat a few dozen meters away, waiting for the right moment.


    When Ivy appeared, the car engine roared as it charged straight at her at breakneck speed.


    Windy let out a startled cry behind her. “Ivy!”


    The next thing Ivy knew, a figure dashed out and shoved her out of the way. The attack happened in


    an instant. A loud collision urred, followed by a person rolling to the ground.


    The car mmed into arge tree on the side of the road, and smoke began to rise from the hood.


    The surrounding area became deafeningly quiet.


    Pierce was terrified. His voice was trembling.


    “Pretty Lady, that strange mister...”


    Ivy was dragged to the grass on the other side of the path.


    Her arm was in excruciating pain. Her heart was pounding furiously. She had been unable to react


    earlier and had only felt a powerful force pushing her from behind.


    All she could hear was the crash!


    Ivy turned around, her face pale. She noticed the man, covered in blood, lying in the middle of the


    road.


    Just a second ago, that tall and uninterested man gently smiled at her as he invited her to lunch, but


    now... Her heart ached at that moment as if it had been stabbed.


    Windy bolted in a panic. “Please call an ambnce!” She gave Ivy a worried look.


    “Are you in pain?”


    Ivy believed that she was in a bubble because she couldn’t hear anyone’s voice.


    Pierce quickly tapped his smartwatch. He forced himself to remain calm as he walked to the side ofProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.


    the building to make a phone call, but his voice was tense.


    Ivy stumbled over to Wyatt and knelt beside him, staring at him nkly. His clothes were caked in


    dust, and his hair was unkempt.


    That gorgeous face was a deadly white. His lips were rxed, and his calm face was devoid of life.


    His blood was all that was around him.


    Ivy’s heart was clenched. She had the sensation that blood was dripping from it. Her breathing


    became increasingly difficult as time went on. He rescued her yet again.


    Windy shook Ivy in fear. “Ivy, don’t frighten me!” She was concerned that something terrible had


    happened to Ivy.


    Ivy’s thoughts were suddenly calmed. When she took out her phone, she noticed that the screen


    had shattered, but it still worked.


    She immediately dialed Greg’s number and instructed him to contact the hospital and doctor. Then


    she called Ken and asked him to make ns.


    She then dialed Marco Seely’s number and asked him to send someone to pick up Pierce.


    Lastly, she called the police.


    Ivy cast a nce at Windy. “Wait for the cops here and keep an eye on the driver, whether he’s alive


    or dead.” Her tone of voice was icy.


    Windy gave a firm nod.


    The ambnce arrived in less than five minutes.


    At the hospital. Ivy had never felt time move so slowly and painfully. Her patience was dwindling by


    the minute.


    She sat quietly, head down until Ken brought a tissue to her eyes.


    “Don’t cry, Ms. Morgan,” Ken spoke slowly and awkwardly, and he didn’t know what to feel.


    Only then did Ivy realize that tears were streaming down her cheeks. She couldn’t keep quiet any


    longer. Her shoulders shook violently as she choked out a sob, her head bowed low.


    Terror and fear erupted in fits and starts. She acknowledged that she was terrified. Her greatest fear


    was that Wyatt would perish.


    The doctor pushed the operating room door open unexpectedly.


    Don Reed was grief-stricken and rushed to the hospital with Eva.


    Their expressions darkened when they discovered that Wyatt had only been in an ident to save


    Ivy.


    Don Reed had seen a lot in his life, so his expression was nonchnt. He only sat silently in Wyatt’s


    ward. His butler escorted him away when his body could no longer support him.


    Eva cried for two hours in Wyatt’s ward.


    Ivy sat quietly in the VIP ward’s living room, listening to Eva’s beratement with a stoic face.


    “Wyatt, I told you to avoid that woman! She’s a curse! Every time you’re in danger, it’s always her


    fault. You almost drowned thest time you went out to sea. What is this? You even sent away from


    your beloved sister for that bitch! She mustpletely enchant you... Please, Wyatt, wake up...”


    Eva’s eyes welled up with tears.


    Ken and Greg exchanged conflicted looks with the motionless Ivy. She was unfazed as if she didn’t


    care that Eva was ming her.


    When Leo and Cooper arrived, they heard Eva’s hysterical cries from the ward. Their expressions


    became irritated.


    Leo walked over to his daughter and patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t be concerned, Ivy. Pack


    your belongings and return home to rest.”


    Ivy had a terrible appearance. She’d been at the hospital for two days and one night. She hadn’t


    gotten a wink of sleep, in days.


    With reddened eyes, she looked up at her father. Her heart was broken.


    Ken also approached her to persuade her. “Indeed, Ms. Morgan. President Reed has a good


    physique, ording to the doctor. He only got a concussion and a bone fracture in his leg this time,


    so he’ll be fine. It is more important that you get some rest.”


    Wyatt, after all, would be devastated if he saw her like this.


    Eva became enraged when she heard themotion.


    “Do you still have the guts to sleep? My son is currently in there! How dare you sleep when my son


    is in this state because of you?”


    Eva had finally found an opportunity to vent her rage on Ivy.


    Leo’s face darkened instantly. However, arguing with this woman at this time would be futile.


    Cooper’s piercing gaze swept over her. His tone of voice was icy. “Mrs. Reed, your son, saved my


    sister, but she did not push him towards the car. How could you point the finger at her and me


    her when he risked his life for her?”


    The cold vibes Cooper was giving off made everyone around him shiver. Even though his voice was


    lowered, it still carried an ominous threat.


    Eva’s throat tightened. She had almost forgotten that the Morgans were not your typical wealthy


    family. How could they stand by and watch their daughter and sister being bullied like this?


    They would not tolerate any insults directed at Ivy.


    Eva screamed and opened her mouth. Eva and her son had a strained rtionship because of Ivy.


    “You…” The doctor entered with a solemn expression as soon as she spoke.


    “Madam, the patient is still sleeping. He needs to recover in silence!” With an exasperated


    expression, he emphasized the word “silence.”


    Eva was about to be ejected by the doctor.


    Cooper gave a cold smile. “Mrs. Reed, you are only concerned with your satisfaction and are


    unconcerned about your son’s life, based on how you are screaming.”


    Eva was so enraged that her face turned bright red, but she was about to retort when she noticed


    the doctor’s warning look. She had no choice but to hurl herself onto the sofa in rage.


    Cooper approached Ivy. He picked up her shattered phone from the table and carried her bag to


    Greg.


    With his other hand, he drew Ivy up and said tly, “Come on, let’s go home.”


    Ivy stood up and returned her gaze to Ken, who nodded and gave her a reassuring gesture.


    If anything happened, he would contact her.


    In response, Ivy gave a faint smile.
