Chapter 448: Chapter 448: The First Person Master Blackwood Met Was Claire Crowley
"Ivy!"
Sharon Langley ran over from a distance and, in the next second, took off her coat to cover Ivy Kensington’s exposed skin tightly.
"Are you okay?"
She had also heard the news about Sebastian Blackwood’s wedding disruption and was worried that he might have mistreated Ivy during this time.
Ivy Kensington shook her head, "I’m fine."
"How have Ginny and Cody been during this time?"
Since their birth, Ivy had never been apart from Ginny and Cody for so long, and she didn’t know if the two little ones had been looking for her often.
Sharon Langley said, "They’re fine. I told them you were abroad for something urgent."
Cody is easy to appease, but Ginny is too clever. Sharon couldn’t fool him and had to tell him the truth.
Ginny was very angry, and now his impression of Sebastian Blackwood is even worse.
At this moment,
Ethan Ford walked up to Ivy Kensington and said, "Dad is still in a coma. You should go down and see him."
Theodore Ford isn’t dead?
A flash of joy crossed Ivy’s eyes, and her eyes filled with tears.
As long as he’s still here!
She was really afraid that, like the newspapers reported, Theodore Ford had passed away.
"Dad!"
In the hospital room, Ivy ran over and leaned on Theodore Ford’s bedside.
Theodore Ford, with a ventilator, was in a coma, but as if sensing Ivy’s arrival, his fingers on the side gently trembled.
"Dad, luckily you’re still here... or I’d really regret it..."
Ivy whispered with her face in her hands, filled only with a sense of relief.
Theodore Ford wouldn’t wake up anytime soon. Ivy stayed with him in the room for a while then left.
Ethan was waiting outside, and Ivy asked, "Dad is obviously still alive, so why would rumors of his death spread?"
Upon hearing this, Ethan’s gaze darkened ever so slightly.
It was naturally the message he had leaked to let Ivy know.
Because Sebastian Blackwood had hidden her so well, he couldn’t find Ivy’s location, so he could only let Ivy come back on her own, using the news of Theodore Ford’s death as a lure.
But these details, Ethan certainly wouldn’t share with Ivy. He knitted his brows slightly and offered a helpless smile, "The Ford Group’s shareholders heard about Dad’s coma, and since you were taken by Master Blackwood, some people with ill intentions wanted to muddy the waters by spreading sensational news. I didn’t have time to stop them."
Seeing the helplessness on his face, Ivy felt somewhat guilty.
"I’m sorry, it’s because I messed up the wedding."
If she had cut ties with Sebastian earlier, these things wouldn’t have happened. When it came down to it, the problem was with her.
Ethan thoughtfully said, "Ivy, it’s not your fault."
After they talked for a while, Ivy suddenly felt the pain in her lower abdomen growing more intense.
What was previously bearable now made her legs feel unsteady.
With a faintly pale face, Ivy suppressed the pain and said, "Could you please watch over Dad for the night? I should head back for a bit."
Leaving in such a hurry tonight, she felt disheveled. A trip home was necessary to tidy up.
Ethan acknowledged and arranged for Ivy and Sharon Langley to be sent back to Serenity Gardens together.
"Young Master Ford, there’s the latest news that Master Blackwood has returned, but the first person he saw was Mayor Crowley’s daughter, Claire Crowley!"
As soon as they left, Ethan’s assistant reported in utmost confusion.
Currently, the uproar over Sebastian Blackwood’s lineage is intense, yet he didn’t go to the Blackwood Group to stabilize the situation but instead met with Claire Crowley. What kind of logic is this...
