Shawn was sitting in the hall waiting for Naomi. Naomi didn’t want to see Rodney or Lesley anymore so she quickly walked toward him.

Lesley was so sad that she threw herself into Rodney’s arms and cried, “My daughter doesn’t want us. Honey, what should we do?

“I don’t want her to hate me. I didn’t do it on purpose. Honey, I’ve apologized to her. Why doesn’t she forgive me?”

Lesley kept crying. Rodney was agitated by his beloved wife’s tears so he looked at Naomi with dissatisfaction.

Naomi was walking toward the elevator hand in hand with Shawn.

Rodney was unhappy but he could only comfort Lesley. “Stop crying. She went missing when she was a child. She grew up without us so she has no attachments

to us.

“Besides, our encounter was a pleasant one. It is normal that she hates us now. I will talk to her. Don’t worry. I will make her change her mind.”

Lesley looked at Rodney with a tearful look and nodded slowly after a while. Coincidentally, Rodney received a call from the hospital saying that Ivy was on a hunger strike and refused medical treatment. So they hurried back to the hospital. After they arrived at the hospital, Ivy stopped crying. She sat quietly on the bed and stared out of the window with unfocused eyes.

Lesley asked, “Ivy, why didn’t you grab something to eat? Why did you refuse the treatment?”

Lesley had calmed down on the way there. Looking at Ivy’s pale face, she was so

sad.

After all, Ivy was the child who she brought back home from the orphanage in person. She took care of the little girl while the girl grew up. She gave the girl the best things. Seeing that Ivy was torturing herself and had lost so much weight in a short time, Lesley definitely felt depressed.

Ivy looked at Lesley and Rodney and then burst into tears. While crying, she jumped out of the bed and hugged Lesley tightly. “Mommy, are you going to abandon me? Are you going to abandon me because you’ve found your real daughter?

“Growing up, I always thought I was your favorite. Alfred, Philip, and Duncan also loved me so much. Why am I not your real daughter?”

“Mommy, I don’t want to leave you. Please don’t leave me. I will be a good girl. I will work hard and I won’t lose my temper anymore. Don’t leave me, Mom, Dad, please.”

Ivy cried, out of breath. Her eyes were red and her face was swollen with tears. Her hair was messed up. She was a totally different person anymore. She looked desperate and fragile.

Lesley felt sad.

She said. “Daddy and Mommy will not abandon you, silly girl. What are you talking about?”

Ivy said. T’m just scared, Mommy. You don’t know how scared I am.”

Lesley said, “Don’t be scared. You’re our girl. Even though we’ve found Naomi, we won’t abandon you. Promise me you won’t do anything stupid again.

“Mommy wants you to get along well with your sister.

Ivy hated Naomi so much that she couldn’t get along with Naomi.

Ivy thought Naomi would share everyone’s love and the family assets with her i Naomi was back in the Edwards family. She even thought the Edwards family would definitely leave most of the money to Naomi out of guilt.

if

She thought it was unfair.

Ivy grew up with the Edwards family and had spent a lot of time pleasing them. She wouldn’t stand it if Naomi stole everything that belonged to her after Naomi was back in the Edwards family.

If Naomi was not Lesley’s daughter, Ivy would continue to regard her as an idol. After all, Ivy was into Elf in the Evening.

But Naomi was in competition with her now.

Ivy choked up with hatred in her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes. became redder. She said cautiously, “Mommy, I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn’t have cut my wrist in front of her. But I was just too scared that she. would not like me.”

Lesley comforted Ivy though she was not sure. “She will. After we talk to her, she will like you.”

Ivy said, “Mommy!” She hugged Lesley and cried so hard that Lesley was heartbroken.

Outside the ward, Jessie smiled and put her phone back into her pocket quietly. She knocked on the door and opened it after getting permission from the people inside.

Jessie greeted each one of them. “Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, Ms. Gibson. She handed

a document to Rodney. “Mr. Edwards, Alfred asked me to give this to you. “Alfred has resigned as the president of the Edwards Group. Now he will return his shares to you, Mr. Edwards.”

Rodney was not happy about Alfred’s resignation from CEO of the Edwards Group. Alfred asked Jessie to give his shares back to Rodney to avoid seeing him all because of Naomi.

“What does he mean? He wants to be strangers with the Edwards family from now on?” Rodney couldn’t help but look gloomy. “Does he think he will owe us nothing after returning these to me?”

Then how do you want Alfred to pay you back, Mr. Edwards?” Jessic asked calmly, “Feel free to ask for anything. I’ll tell him word by word.”

Rodney became more and more angry. “Jessie, do you think that’s what I mean?” Jessie still said calmly. “Mr. Edwards, everyone makes his own choices. You don’t have to force Alfred to choose the same as you.

“I don’t have the right to comment on your family affairs. But as Naomi’s friend, I want to remind you that Naomi has never got anything from you. Think about whether it will hurt her before you push her with moral coercion.

“I’m just here to deliver the document. If you have nothing to tell Alfred, I’m leaving now.”

Jessie glanced at Ivy, who was on the bed, and then left the ward.

Her high heels hit the ground. She stuck her chest out and walked forward looking straight ahead.

Ivy followed her out in a hurry. She walked into the elevator right after Jessie entered it. The elevator door slowly closed, Jessie looked at her with great

Jessie said, “Ms. Gibson, you recovered very fast.”

The tears on Ivy’s face were already wiped off. She looked cold and fierce. “Jessie, you are just my brother’s henchman.”

Jessie was not angry. She stood still and smiled slightly, “Well, Ms. Gibson, Alfred is not your brother anymore.”

Her words instantly hurt Ivy.

Jessie said, “Calm down. There is a surveillance camera in the elevator.”

Jessie was still smiling. “Mr. Edwards is in the coffee shop opposite the hospital. If you want to see him, come with me.”

Ivy was so angry that her chest kept heaving. She took out the mask and

by took off her mask and sunglasses, revealing her pale face and red swollen eyes. Brother, are you really going to abandon the?”

Alfred was emotionless.

He said. Tu not your brother

“I’ve found my real sister”

Ivy said with tears in her eyes. “So your love for me in the past was not real? Altred, I don’t believe you are heartless”

“Ms. Gibson, or should I call you Ms. Quin Alfred said impatiently. “We all need to learn to be contented. What the Edwards family has given you over the years is not enough?

“Don’t tell me that Naomi stole what belonged to you. She has never been loved and doted by her parents. She didn’t take anything away from you.

“Now you have my parents, Philip, and Duncan. They still love you, But Naomi only has me. What else do you want?

“Ms. Qui, do you want the planet to rotate around you? Or do you think you are the adopted daughter of the Edwards family and they love you so much so you can trample on Naomi?

“People all have feelings. It’s true. But I don’t think the Edwards family or I owe you anything. If you are still sensible, you shouldn’t pick on Naomi again. “Besides, it’s you who should give everything back to Naomi”

“But what did I do wrong?” Ivy glared at him, gritting her teeth. “Did Lask the Edwards family to adopt me in the orphanage

Alfred’s face darkened. He said, “The Edwards family adopted you. Did we do anything wrong to you? Ivy, you are such an ungrateful person.

“You should be grateful, not vindictive.”

Alfred stood up and said. “Ivy, I don’t want to embarrass you. Show some respect

too.

Ivy’s eyes widened. Since she was adopted by the Edwards family, she had never felt so wronged and insulted like this.

Ivy couldn’t help but cry. She could not make a sound. She trembled

uncontrollably. She looked at Alfred eagerly with her cloudy eyes.

But Alfred just glanced at her in disgust and asked Jessie to leave with him without hesitation.

Jessie withdrew a tissue and handed it to Ivy. She sighed, “Ms. Gibson, Naomi wants nothing more than Alfred as her brother. You don’t have to hate her.

“By the way, if she hadn’t gone missing in her childhood, you wouldn’t have been adopted by the Edwards family. Maybe you would have been adopted by someone else. But there are few families as rich as the Edwards family.

You should thank Naomi, not hate her.

“Ms. Gibson, think about it. Sometimes, a change of thoughts leads to different choices which lead to completely different consequences.

“Ms. Gibson, you still got so much love but Naomi only has Shawn and Alfred. “You already have a lot, you don’t need Alfred’s love.”
