Chapter 283: 263. Except for life and death, everything else is trivial.

"At that time, I couldn’t bear to leave my handsome and loving husband!"

Mr. Gordon answered without hesitation, after all, he is really handsome, and he really loves her!

"No!"

This time, Ivy didn’t call him narcissistic or shameless like before but seriously said no and continued, "I thought of Bianca, who was still so young, and your father who disliked her so much. If I died, you would marry someone else, and they would be her stepmother. How would I know if they would mistreat or abuse her behind our backs? There are many women who mistreat children nowadays, and it’s best for a child to be raised by their own mother. So I told myself that I must not die, I must escape, and escape no matter what. I kept running and kept calling for you to save me, and then I woke up!"

Michael listened to her words in a daze, his expression somewhat absent-minded. He should have been angry that she only thought of their daughter and not him at a critical moment, but he couldn’t get angry. Instead, he only felt a wave of pain spreading around his heart.

He knew it was heartache!

A mother’s heartache for her child, and it was this that led her to take such a crazy action when she guessed Bianca had been kidnapped by Calvin Gordon, even to the point of risking her own life!

"Ivy, you won’t die. We still have to give our daughter a lot of brothers and sisters!" Michael leaned down and gently kissed her hair, his eyes full of emotion, even his voice was somewhat choked. "Now that I’ve married you, my wife in this life can only be you, regardless of life or death!"

Ivy’s heart clenched, and her body stiffened. Her breathing became a little rapid for a moment. Did he mean that even if she died, he wouldn’t marry anyone else?

Ivy looked up into his eyes, her gaze full of disbelief.

This is modern times, not ancient times when there were moral constraints on being faithful to one’s spouse, especially as those constraints applied only to women, not men. Nowadays, there’s no concept of deep love leading to one’s death. Moreover, should she truly die, she also wouldn’t want him to be lonely in this world.

"Don’t think nonsense, if something happens in the future, tell your husband and let him handle it. Don’t be silly and try to do everything on your own, alright?"

Michael couldn’t help but hold her tighter, as if only by doing so could he pull himself out of the fear of losing her. "Ivy, remember, except for life or death, everything else is trivial. No matter what happens, all I want is for you to be alive!"

That’s enough!

What deep-rooted hatred!

What intolerance for her!

He, Michael Gordon, doesn’t care!

Let the hatred of the previous generation be buried when they die and let them settle it underground!

His beloved woman, once he loves her, that’s it. He only wants her to live well. What do the mistakes of the older generation have to do with such a kind and strong woman?!

"Hmm!" Ivy’s eyes filled with tears, which slowly stained Michael’s shirt, "Except for life or death, everything else is trivial. I will live well!"

Only after dying once can you understand how important it is to be alive!

How wonderful the world is!

Though it was just two days, it felt like two centuries. But fortunately, she made it through!

The door creaked open, and a young and beautiful nurse entered the room. Seeing the two people on the bed, she quickly apologized nervously, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Mr. Gordon, Mrs. Gordon, please continue, please continue!"

After saying that, she wanted to awkwardly exit the ward but only managed to take a step backward. A strong hand shoved her back, and the unexpected force sent Nora stumbling forward, almost falling with the tray of medicine in her hands.

Just as she thought she was about to fall, her wrist was grabbed, and with a pull, her face that was getting closer to the ground suddenly moved further away.

"What do you mean by leaving when you’re supposed to change Mrs. Gordon’s dressings?" Lucas Sandy glared at her coldly, his face already cold, and spoke to Michael, "What kind of nurses does your hospital hire, do they all act based on people’s expressions? They’re even too embarrassed to change dressings!"

"I... I’m sorry!" Nora, already frightened, was even more scared. After all, it wasn’t easy to get this job and getting fired over this would be a pity. "I know I have to change the dressings now, but... but..."

Nora looked at the people on the bed as she spoke. It was awkward to walk in on something like that, and she believed that after her intrusion, Mr. Gordon would know to get off the bed, all she had to do was wait by the door.

As soon as he got down, she would go in and change the dressings right away. Being a few minutes late wouldn’t be a problem!

"But what?" Lucas frowned at the pretty nurse, feeling a strange sense of familiarity while giving her an unrelenting scolding, "Changing dressings is a matter of great importance, and can’t be delayed by even a second! It’s just two people lying on the bed, they’re not even embarrassed, why are you embarrassed!"

After saying that, he glanced at Michael, and then turned to leave. When he reached the door, he looked back at Nora: "Remember next time, no matter what, when it’s time to change dressings, you change dressings! Whether it’s two people lying on the bed holding each other or rolling around in bed sheets, you have to stop them!"

Nora: "..." But they are her boss and boss’s wife!

Ivy: "..." Does she look like she has that kind of physical strength?

Michael: "..." Does he look like such a beast of a person?

His wife has only just returned from the Gate of Hell, and he’s already being depicted as such a beast, is that really okay?

With a bang, Lucas turned and left, leaving Nora alone to awkwardly face her boss and boss’s wife. To be honest, she was quite nervous!

After all, not everyone gets the chance to take care of their boss and boss’s wife. She hadn’t expected her boss to have such tastes, taking advantage of his wife even when she was injured.

Nora looked up as Michael slowly got off the hospital bed without explaining what had just happened, his expression natural, not at all embarrassed after being caught.

"Mr. Gordon, can I change Mrs. Gordon’s dressings now?"

"Yes, go ahead."

With Michael’s permission, Nora hurried over to change Ivy’s dressings. But she didn’t expect that even when she was ready to change the dressings, Michael didn’t have any intention of leaving.

"Ahem, Mr. Gordon!"

Nora was trying to remind him to back away since Ivy was injured in the chest and needed to undress for the dressing change.
