Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

"Child, why must you insist on this? I've told you before, falling for the master will only lead to consequences you cannot bear." The doctor let out a sigh.

"I want to see the master. Can I?" Ivy slowly regained consciousness after emergency treatment. Her strength was gradually returning.

"I'm afraid the master doesn't have time to see you now. He's busy taking care of someone else." The doctor couldn't help but recall the earlier scene when Kyle Raymond nearly broke down in a rage. It was an experience she never wanted to endure again.

"Who is that woman?" Ivy asked, unwilling to accept the situation. Kyle Raymond had never had anyone special in his life before. Everyone had always been treated the same. But now, he'd suddenly brought a woman home.

"I can't answer that. I've never seen her before either. But one thing is certain-this time, the master is serious. So, child, once you're well, you should leave. This is no place for you."

"I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving!" Ivy clutched her clothes tightly, her eyes filled with defiance and resentment.

The doctor sighed again and fell silent. In this massive villa, perhaps only she and the butler truly understood the situation.

To be cautious, he called Mrs. Hill. Her worried voice came through the line, "Mr. Barnet, Miss Aurora hasn't returned home yet. I called her earlier, but she didn't pick up."

"She hasn't come home at all?" Julian's anxiety surged. Despite Aurora being a grown woman, the late hour made it hard not to worry.
