Sebastian Blackwood held her tightly in front of him, his bony fingers brushing aside the woman’s long hair dampened with sweat.
"Does the wound still hurt?"
Ivy Kensington was very tired but hadn’t fallen asleep. Hearing this, she mumbled a response.
Actually, it didn’t hurt much, since he had applied medicine for her.
Sebastian Blackwood kissed her cheek and whispered, "Take it easy next time."
Ivy realized what he meant, and her drowsy eyelids suddenly became much more alert. She playfully tried to dodge.
The man, however, didn’t give her a chance, instead holding her even tighter.
After so many years, moments of peaceful coexistence between them were rare and made him long for more.
As Ivy lay there, she suddenly thought of Sylvia Sterling, and felt vaguely uneasy about it.
"Sebastian, I think you should be clear with Dr. Sterling."
She truly hadn’t expected that Sebastian could do something . As a woman, she understood very well that Sylvia truly had feelings for Sebastian now.
And now, with her and Sebastian reconciled, how heartbroken must Sylvia be, caught in the middle?
Thinking this, Ivy gently pinched the muscle on Sebastian’s waist and said, "What happens between us shouldn’t involve Dr. Sterling. Dr. Sterling is innocent."
Sylvia Sterling is a kind-hearted woman, much better than Claire Crowley.
Just the fact that she worked hard to study medicine and saved so many lives made Ivy genuinely respect her.
Ivy’s pinch didn’t hurt at all, but Sebastian deliberately let out a muffled sound and said in a low voice, "So now you want me to go back to Sylvia Sterling?"
This man was twisting her words again.
Ivy opened her mouth and bit his Adam’s apple, answering, "Of course not!"
Even if she thought highly of Sylvia, feelings couldn’t be handled this way. You can’t just give away the person you love because you feel sorry for someone else.
If Sebastian truly loved her, Ivy would graciously wish them well.
But in this situation...
Frowning slightly, she said, "Sebastian, you need to sincerely apologize to Dr. Sterling. Don’t waste her time."
Sylvia Sterling’s background and talents were top-notch among the prestigious women of Veridia, and many wanted to marry her.
She would find her own happiness.
Sebastian’s Adam’s apple, which had been bitten by her, felt slightly itchy, and his previously calm eyes turned deep once more.
He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, lifting her to sit on his abdomen.
When he spoke again, his voice carried a hoarse undertone, "Hmm, I understand. I’ll handle it well."
"Then I’ll head back first. Ginny and Cody are still waiting for me at home..."
Before Ivy could finish her sentence, her pink lips were captured in another kiss.
"Dr. Sterling, isn’t today your day off? Why are you back?"
A doctor in the same office was surprised to see Sylvia Sterling return and asked.
Then, remembering something, he jokingly said, "Dr. Sterling, the weather is so nice today. You shouldn’t worry about those patients of yours. You should go out more with Master Blackwood. Master Blackwood treats you so well. If you say you want to go out, I’m sure he’ll agree."
At the mention of Sebastian Blackwood’s name, a subtle ripple passed through Sylvia Sterling’s calm eyes. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
She pulled at the corner of her mouth and replied, "Don’t bring up irrelevant people at the hospital anymore. Just focus on your work."
After saying that, she put on her white coat and walked out of the office.
"Hmm?" The doctor behind her, hearing this, scratched his head in confusion, "Could it be a quarrel? That shouldn’t be..."
Sylvia Sterling clocked out at the usual time, but as she stepped out of the hospital’s entrance, she saw a familiar Maybach.
It was Sebastian Blackwood’s car.
He was waiting for her there.
