A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 152: The Apologies.

tvy sat on the hospital bench, her nerves calmer now as she waited for Silas to

come.

She lifted her head and was surprised to see her dad. She stood up, confusion racing through her. "Dad," she said flatly.

Patrick stepped closer, a shaky smile on his face. "How are you?"

"Good" she said cautiously, remembering aff that had happened.

"How's Cole? I got the call from the hospital. I'm his emergency contact, Patrick said carefully, like he was picking his words

"He's better now. The doctor said the surgery would soon be over," she said, wrapping a hand over herself. "It looks promising"

"Good" Patrick nodded.

They stood there in silence until Patrick cleared his throat. "I'm sorry Ivy," he said, facing her, his face filled with concern. "I should have done better, I'm sorry."

Ivy bit her lip. A part of her wanted to believe in the softness in his voice, but the damage was too much and it hurt.

"I am going to do better" Patrick continued, "For all of you. And I'm sorry about... your mother."

Ivy's chest tightened at the reminder and she stepped away from him. "You can't bring her back, can you?"

Patrick's face went pale. "Ivy...

"But you can't," she said firmly, anger rising in her chest. "I forgive you, but I... can't forget."

Patrick raised his hand trying to reach her. "Ivy..."

But she already turned away, ignoring him. He had hurt her too much and she wasn't ready to process it.

Right now, her priority was Geo and Cole.

Ivy wandered in the ward, her heart aching with longing. Her body ached for only Silas, and she wanted to just bury herself in his arms.

She turned to the corner, hoping that by the time she had done her little walk around the hospital, her nerves would have calmed, or her father would be nowhere near, or at least Silas would have been around.

She heard babies cries and she followed the sound, eager to see the new humans. But to her dismay, she wasn't allowed in

the room.

Feeling a little sad, she turned around, about to return to the reception when she heard her name.

She turned towards the sound and was surprised to see Cheryl. "Cheryl?"

Ivy walked into the room Cheryl was in. Cheryl was laid on the bed, a tag attached to her wrist.

Fear gripped her as she moved closer. "Oh, are you alright? Is your baby alright?"

A small smile appeared on Cheryl's face. "He's here," she said, pointing to her side.

Ivy gasped, her eyes following Cheryl's direction. In a small rectangular cot, a tiny figure moved.

"Is that..."

"Yes," Cheryl laughed. "Go on, touch him."

Despite not wanting to, Ivy found herself by the baby's cot. She looked at him, afraid to touch him. The baby cooed and Ivy leaned closer.
