Chapter 281: 261, What’s the matter, don’t you dare to look into my eyes?

There was no Bianca, and no Michael Gordon, only her by herself, walking along the endless dark road, passing through winding black paths. At some unknown moment, her hands and feet somehow had chains on them. And at another unknown time, two men dressed in black and white appeared beside her, their faces pale and ghastly, not like humans but like corpses, or more accurately, the Black and White Impermanence from TV series!

Black and White Impermanence?

Ivy Aretha’s mind exploded with a bang...

Was she dead?

So she saw the Black and White Impermanence?

Then the dark road she had just walked was hell?

Ivy Aretha was frightened by this thought and dared not walk any further, only lowering her head to meticulously examine the bracelets and anklets on her hands and feet.

"Hurry up and go, we’re running out of time. We still have to pick up the next one!"

The next one?

"Am I dead?" Ivy Aretha suddenly raised her head and stared fiercely at the two men in front of her, speaking word by word, "Tell me, where are you taking me?"

"Of course, we’re taking you to where you’re supposed to go!"

That’s how the man in black answered her, while the man in white remained silent, standing impatiently nearby!

"So am I dead?"

Ivy Aretha felt that this answer was more important than any other answer. She didn’t want to die. If she died, what would happen to Bianca?

She was still so young, she couldn’t live without her mommy. Calvin Gordon kidnapped her and tried to kill her. If Michael Gordon married Alya Larson and made her Bianca’s stepmother, she would surely be abused to death. With this thought in mind, all Ivy Aretha could think about was that she couldn’t die just yet.

"You’re not dead yet, you haven’t stopped breathing, but if we take you to that side, then you’ll be really dead!"

The one who spoke was still the Black Impermanence, and as he spoke, he pointed to the lock bridge not far away.

"I don’t want to go there, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!"

Upon hearing that crossing the rope bridge would mean her death, Ivy Aretha shook her head in panic and backed away, retreating for a long time. Then, she turned her head and desperately ran in the opposite direction of the way she had come, thinking that the opposite of the death path must be life. The only thought in her mind was that she couldn’t die, she couldn’t die!

With this thought in mind, her desire to survive was awakened, and she ran forward desperately. Hearing footsteps chasing her from behind, she ran even faster, all the while calling for Michael Gordon to save her.

Lucas Sandy said she would wake up after two hours. It had already been two hours and five minutes, but she still hadn’t woken up. Michael Gordon was getting anxious. Just as he was about to press the bell and call Lucas Sandy to come and take a look, he suddenly felt the hand he was holding begin to tremble.

Michael’s heart tightened in panic, and he quickly stood up from the chair in front of Ivy’s hospital bed, bent over, and carefully watched the changing expressions on Ivy’s face. It seemed like she was having a terrifying dream, showing endless fear on her pale face. Sweat was beading on her forehead, showing no sign of stopping.

Michael reached for a wet wipe to help her wipe the sweat from her forehead, but as soon as he wiped it, it reappeared. Then, her pale lips moved and she let out a weak murmur.

"Michael, save me. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to leave you. I don’t want to leave our baby. If I die, what will happen to our baby? You can’t let her have a stepmother. No!"

She was very weak, her voice very soft, but her sentence was surprisingly coherent, as if in one breath.

Just by listening to her frail voice that could disappear at any moment, he knew how terrified she was. There was no doubt that she was having a nightmare after experiencing two life-or-death situations in a row.

"Ivy, wake up!" Michael Gordon tried unsuccessfully to wake her from her dream, not daring to move her body, fearing he would hurt her wounds, so he could only get close to her ear and keep saying, "Our baby is here, I’m here too, we’re all here, wake up!"

It seemed like the person still had no response. Michael Gordon said again, "If you don’t wake up, I’ll find a stepmother for Bianca!"

Suddenly, the woman’s closed eyes opened without warning, and before he could react to the surprise, she reached out and hugged him tightly. Her movement was so large that it tugged on her wound, and she let out a cry of pain.

Michael Gordon then pried her hands away and pressed her back onto the hospital bed before pressing the call button by the bed.

"Michael, is that you?" After the real pain, Ivy Aretha was still not sure if the person in front of her was Michael Gordon.

"It’s me!" Michael lowered his head and pressed her restless hand, afraid that she would hurt her wound. "Don’t move!"

Then he lowered his head and pressed his cheek against hers, starting with a kiss on her forehead, then on her lips. "Feel that?"

"Am I still alive?"

Ivy Aretha was somewhat surprised that she seemed to be in hell just now!

"Of course!" Michael Gordon looked at her with amusement as a sudden sense of surprise appeared in her eyes. "Or am I dead too?"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

Lucas Sandy soon entered to check on Ivy Aretha, instructed her not to move, and arranged for a nurse to come and change her dressings in half an hour before leaving.

After Lucas Sandy left, Ivy Aretha suddenly felt a little scared to look at the corner of Michael Gordon’s eyes because she knew that in addition to concern, his eyes also contained a deep anger that had been suppressed for a long time.

"What, afraid to look me in the eyes?"

Hearing Lucas Sandy say that she was fine now, the anger accumulated in Michael Gordon’s heart from the fear of losing her surfaced. "Ivy Aretha, do you know how irresponsible you are? You dared to die so easily! If you died, what would I do?"

What would he do?

She hadn’t really thought about that!

"Didn’t I not die?"

"But you almost died! If Lucas Sandy hadn’t happened to be in Andras City, you would have been gone!" It wasn’t exactly by chance; he asked him to fly here as soon as he learned she had gone missing and been kidnapped, afraid something might happen to her. "Ivy Aretha, you’re already married to me, and your life has been mine for a long time. Who allows you to die so easily?"

She not only tried to bite her tongue to commit suicide but now also tried stabbing her heart with a knife. The mere millimeter difference in the knife’s position showed just how ruthless this woman was, she had never intended to live!

Not looking at him, Ivy Aretha quietly listened as he vented his emotions. She knew if she didn’t let him vent, he would eventually suffocate. They both had experienced so much in the past two days.

After he finished venting, Ivy Aretha finally spoke softly: "I just want to put an end to this enmity. I don’t want what happened yesterday and today to happen again!"

Ivy Aretha blinked her eyes and looked at Michael Gordon with a serious expression: "I’m fine now, aren’t I? Your father agreed, and this matter is over!"
