Julian Hawthorne stayed abroad all these years, partly to avoid marriage, and partly for Nina Shaw.
Nina Shaw has a severe heart condition and has been receiving treatment abroad since childhood. Recently, she went through a major surgery, but to everyone’s shock, she developed severe rejection symptoms post-operation and is now hanging by a thread!
Sebastian Blackwood’s eyes turned cold, and he immediately headed to the herbal medicine room dedicated to Nina Shaw.
Nina Shaw can’t have anything happen to her; she’s the most important person in his life...
However, when he reached the herbal medicine room, Ivy Kensington was gone, and the Heavenly Heart Lotus was missing too!
The man’s handsome face instantly clouded over.
Ivy Kensington, how dare she!
After obtaining the Heavenly Heart Lotus, Ivy Kensington rushed to the Kensington Family without stopping.
"Open the door... open the door!"
At this hour, only Anne Linden was at the Kensington residence. Seeing Ivy Kensington shouting at the door, she immediately instructed Maid Wang to drive her away.
"What nonsense, who told you to shout here?"
Maid Wang cursed, taking out a broom to hit Ivy Kensington.
The arm that had just stopped bleeding was once again drenched in blood, but Ivy Kensington couldn’t care less and urgently asked, "Where’s Stanley Kensington? Is he here?"
"Who let you call Mr. Kensington by his full name, you little wretch, are you looking for trouble?"
Even as Maid Wang continued to curse, Anne Linden quickly understood Ivy Kensington’s urgency to find Stanley Kensington, likely to see her dying mother!
Realizing Stanley Kensington was not at the Kensington residence, Ivy Kensington immediately guessed he was at the hospital and rushed there without delay.

Yasmin Irvine was barely holding on to her last breath as Stanley Kensington held her hand, sitting by the bedside.
At this moment, the alarm system sounded; it was Ivy Kensington breaking in the same way she did last time.
Yasmin Irvine seemed to sense it; her heartbeat, which was about to flatline, suddenly fluctuated. Stanley Kensington hastily said, "Yasmin, don’t worry."
Soon, Ivy Kensington was allowed in, and she finally saw Yasmin Irvine.
The woman lay on the hospital bed, covered with a thick quilt, her exposed features emaciated to the bone, but her eyes were fixed intently on Ivy Kensington.
Ivy Kensington felt a chill run down her spine at that moment.
As a daughter, she saw clearly that Yasmin Irvine hated her! There wasn’t the slightest bit of love in those eyes!
Stanley Kensington’s attention was immediately drawn to the Heavenly Heart Lotus that Ivy Kensington had, shocking him.
His face showed greed, and Stanley Kensington immediately snatched it away, "Alright, you can leave now."
Ivy Kensington clenched her fists tightly; no matter what, this Heavenly Heart Lotus was meant for Yasmin Irvine.
Having such a prized herb in his hands, Stanley Kensington was never going to give it back to Ivy Kensington and shouted sternly, "Get lost!"
As the two were arguing, the heart monitor next to Yasmin Irvine suddenly emitted an intense beeping sound; she was dying!
Ivy Kensington was stunned and instinctively rushed over. With quivering lips, she finally uttered the word, "Mom..."
Yasmin Irvine’s frail hand on the bed trembled violently. Ivy Kensington couldn’t understand her intention and instinctively reached to hold it.
But Yasmin Irvine used her last bit of strength to push her away, making Ivy Kensington bitterly smile.
It seems it wasn’t her imagination; Yasmin Irvine truly despised her...
But in the next second, something was slipped into her palm—a crumpled piece of paper. Ivy Kensington was shocked, but Yasmin Irvine had already closed her eyes completely, with a tear rolling down her cheek.
Ivy Kensington’s heart raced as she turned aside and unwrapped the paper: [Ivy, forgive Mom for daring to love you only in the last second of life. Be wary of Stanley Kensington; he’s not human nor your biological father! Do not give him the Heavenly Heart Lotus; it must be returned to the Blackwood family. Mom is just a worthless existence...]
Yasmin Irvine understood that Ivy Kensington chose to provoke the Blackwood family for her sake, an outcome she didn’t want to see. She hoped Ivy Kensington would remain safe and sound.
These few lines, though scribbled messily, showed that Yasmin Irvine used her last breath to write them.
Stanley Kensington, focused solely on the Heavenly Heart Lotus, didn’t notice Ivy Kensington’s small action at all. He secretly rejoiced, knowing the value of the Heavenly Heart Lotus. With it, he could ascend to become the overlord in the herbal medicine industry, something he had desired all his life!
