Chapter 2234

Ivy’s eyes crinkled into a tired smile as Balfour gave what sounded like a veiled promise.

She still looked exhausted, nearly dozing off again after their brief exchange.

“Go ahead and sleep. I’ll stay right here with you,” Balfour murmured soothingly, gently stroking her hair. His usually firm gaze softened, a rare occurrence, as Ivy, struggling against the drowsiness, prompted him to check in with their grandparents.

“I’ll give them a call in a bit.”

“Do it now. They must be worried sick.”

Only after Balfour agreed did Ivy allow herself to drift off into a peaceful slumber.

As Ivy’s breathing steadied in sleep, Balfour couldn’t help but lean in to make sure her chest rose and fell as it should. He feared that Ivy’s breath might be as feeble as it was previously. According to the doctors, Ivy’s breathing was practically negligible when she was initially brought in. He couldn’t even imagine his reaction if he had witnessed it.
