"Layla, the success rate is ninety percent, and I want you to remain calm about this," Avery said."That’s pretty high, right?" Layla said thoughtfully."Yes, it's considered very high, and everything should be fine.""I know that it will be a success," Layla said confidently. "I believe in him.""Come to Bridgedale with his parents.""Sure."Layla hung up and immediately headed out of the office to return home and pack. On her way back, she called Elliot."Dad, I'm going to Bridgedale. Eric can undergo the operation now! There's a matching donor!" Layla blurted excitedly.Avery had informed Elliot about the surgery as well."I will come with you!" Elliot wanted to see if the surgery would succeed, and he wanted to see Avery.It was the longest they had been apart from one another. They had stayed together since they had remarried, and even when one of them needed to go on a business trip, the longest they had been apart was three days. "If you come along, Ivy and Robert wi

Robert sent Ivy a text message, and Ivy replied right away.[Dad and Layla messaged me as well. I would have gone with them if I didn't have classes.][I could have taken some days off from school, but I guess I will pass! I want to stay home with you!] Robert replied.[Did Dad tell you to?][I'm staying because I want to and because it's my responsibility.][Haha. Thanks, Robert. You can go if you want to, though. I will be fine. I'm a grownup, and our driver drives me around every day, so I'm perfectly safe.][Nah. If I go, Hayden and our parents will chase me out.][Haha.][Do you have any classes today? If you are free, we can go out.]Ivy had no classes in the evening and was going to go home to practice her breathing and pronunciation, but she did not tell Robert that. Ever since she heard about the operation, she had been in a great mood. [Where are we going?][Where do you want to go? I can take you anywhere!]Ivy scratched her head, feeling lost.She had been wit

Robert thought about it and said, "Why don't we eat at the canteen in Dad's office? I heard the food there is great, but I've never been there before.""Sure! Will they let us in?"He chuckled. "I'm just going to let them have a good look at me." "Do they all know you?"He giggled. "Of course, not. I mean I'm going to use the face recognition system to get in. Dad's security system has face recognition, and Dad entered us all into the system.""Oh! I thought all of Dad's employees know you!" She sighed a breath of relief."Do you know how many employees work for him? Thousands!" he said. "Only a few of the managers have seen me because Dad is quite protective of us. Search online and you will only find that Hayden is listed as Dad's son. You can't find anything on Layla and I." "I tried." Ivy did so in Taronia and could only find Hayden. "But since Layla uploaded that advert, I'm pretty sure everyone knows who she is." "That’s because she's working, and it doesn’t matter if

The lights inside the building remained lit.Ivy had thought that the office would be empty as people often returned home right away after office hours ended at six."Robert, when does office hours end in Dad's company?" Ivy asked innocently. "Dad usually comes home at six, doesn't he?""Dad is the boss and he gets to get off work anytime he wants, but his employees can't do the same. There are two shifts here: from nine to five, and from ten to seven. The lights are still on inside because there are still a lot of employees working inside," Robert explained.Ivy followed Robert to the entrance of Sterling Group obediently.She had seen this building before when she was on a road trip with her family during her summer holidays.Ivy would have never dared to come here on her own without Robert as she did not want to let others know about her connection to Elliot, nor did she think that it would be appropriate for her to take a tour in a workplace; on top of that, Elliot did not wo

Dean knew that Elliot was on his way to Bridgedale, so he had not informed Elliot about it right away.He waited outside Elliot's office for a while and when Robert did not show up, he called Elliot's assistant."Do you have Robert's number? Give it to me if you do," Dean said. "I heard that Robert is in the office, but he's nowhere to be found. I have no clue as to why he is here."The assistant immediately located Robert’s number and sent it to Dean. "Are you sure that he is in the office?""The administration manager said so, so I suppose so!" Dean said. "I heard that he is here with his girlfriend, too. I haven't even heard that he was dating. Do you know about this?""No! The last time Mr. Foster talked about Robert, he was saying how Robert doesn't know how to handle his personal life. I heard that some girl went to Layla to get to Robert and Layla was really mad about it.""Robert is a gentleman, so it's natural that girls like him. I guess he is in a serious relationship

Robert froze when he saw the people approaching.Ivy was shocked as well and tugged at Robert's arm underneath the table to draw his attentionRobert took a deep breath and introduced the group to Ivy hastily, "that's the vice-president, Dean. That's Dad's assistant in the middle and the manager of the administration department on the right."Ivy nodded. "How should I address them?""Uncle! Just call them uncle."The three stopped in front of them and Dean said, "Robert, let's dine outside! I've reserved a table just now and we can head over there right now." He glanced at Ivy. "Is this your classmate?"Ivy appeared quite young, so Dean assumed that she was Robert's classmate.Just as Robert was about to answer, Ivy took off her mask and greeted them politely. "Hello. I'm Robert’s younger sister, Ivy."The three gasped and instantly recognized Ivy as soon as she removed her mask."Ivy, I've heard about you. It's a pleasure to see you today! It's a shame that I haven't prepared
Chapter 2780
Two hours later, Robert and Ivy returned home.Robert felt drained and so did Ivy, mainly because Dean and the others were far too talkative.Ivy had no knowledge about Sterling Group at the very beginning and after two hours' time, her head was filled with information about Sterling Group and their future development plans."Robert, they are quite nice, actually." Seeing how Robert was staring into the distance blankly, she sat down next to him on the couch."Sure, but I just can't take it when they keep trying to lecture us just because they are older, you know? Hayden's company isn't like that, though. I will take you to his office when I have the chance." Robert's eyes lit up when he talked about Hayden's company."I don't feel that way, Robert. I think that all the guys we met today are really nice and enthusiastic. It's a great thing that they are willing to share with us their experience and thoughts. I guess I just haven't received that much love growing up, so I don't see

He had been to the inside of the Intensive care units and the sight of all the machines sent chills down his spine.If he ever fell severely ill in the future, he did not want Avery to drive herself to the ground trying to save him; if there was no way to alter one's fate, they should all face it with composure.Knowing what Elliot was trying to say, Layla stilled.The surgery was scheduled a week away.The weather in Bridgedale grew colder and it would snow almost every day; whenever it was not snowing, there would still be extremely strong wind and the winter this year simply seemed so much harsher than the ones in the past.Layla and the others all remained inside their rooms with heaters, but as the date for the surgery approached, stress and fear began to weigh down on them.During dinner, Avery noticed that everyone was losing their appetite and said, "have you prepared any gifts for Eric?"Eric's parents were staying in Avery's mansion as well. They had wanted to stay in
