Chapter 163 The Purult of Healing
Although
some sympathy for Ella and Jonah, I also thought that their puffering was a ficting retribution For Ashley’s actions.
Still, I didn’t expect Ashley to have so many tricks up here. When she couldn’t borrow any money from me, she came up with another plan
Twas about to sleep when received a call from Benjamin
“Ivory, are you sleep?” His tonews hesitant. He was not his usual cheerful self.
I was stil thinking of a good day to get a manicure before bed and couldn’t sleep. “No, I’m still up What’s going on
“thighs trying to contact me these days, and I’m at my wit’s end, sa..” Benjamin’s voice trailed off.
what does she want from you asked directly, though I had a pretty good guess.
Benjamin might be the one who had exposed Ashley’s chat history about her being the one initiating the contact with war
That now that she was at the end of her rope, this soft–hearted and upright ex–boyfriend might really be the one of few people she could turn to for help.
Benjamin sighed and stumbled over his words. “Well, her parents are still in the X and need a lot of money. She said she had none else to borrow from and asked if I could land hersome. 1-1”
“just tell me what you’re thinking. It’s okay. I won’t blame you, no matter what decision you make,” Treplied gently.
“Ivory, agreed to lend her some money, but it’s not enough. I want to ask you for some help. It’s okay if you refuse.
“You can call me salt–hearted hutt was the one who broke up with her first, and we did share some good times
“Her parents have always been kind to me.” Benjamin explained a lot, but it all boiled down to him feeling sorry for her.
The feud between Ashley and me didn’t really involve Benjamin. He was dragged into this mess because of me. I could understand that if he was feeling sorry for Ashley and her
If anyone else asked me for money, I would definitely refuse, but I couldn’t refine him. If lending him this money could minimare his guilt toward Ashley, then I’d consider it as my compensation to him.
Linterrupted him, “How much do you need? past tell me
“The hundred thousand,” Benjamin took a deep breath before saying the amount
To me, it wasn’t a lot. But to him, it was a significant amount. That was why he said it solemnly
I didn’t hesitate, “okay, giveme in account number, and it’ll be there tomorrow.”
“ory!” Benjamin was overwhelmed
“Wouldn’t you blame me? feel so conflicted threepoved her, and now i can’t stop me from wanting to helpher.”
“menjamin, you weren’t adding inch to her injury. You justersealed the truth.” Isighed. Gays‘ thoughts were simple and pare
“Besides, you’re helping her not because you still love her, but became you feel guilty that her parents were kind to you, right?
Benjamin was very happy that I understood. “night, right, ivory, trust me, have no feelings for her anymore. Thank you for understanding me!”
I didn’t need Benjamin’s gratitude. My actions were just to esse my own sense of put
Otherwise, to be honest, compared to the turmoil in Ashley’s fantily, I was more concerned about my own health considered move to be quite young though I wasn’t in my prine anymore. So, I planned to seek mediod advice erywhere to cure my infertility

When I was completely disheartened, I could only regard ten as my last straw. Maybe he could find me a more skilled doctor.

“Yes,” Ivan replied so promptly, and he didn’t even ask what the two was
I knew he was busy, so ended the call without any mail talk. fimmediately arranged for a sumptuous dinner at Vinestone Hotel and went there early to wait for him.
Our appointment was for pm, but van didn’t arrive until 30pm
“Sorry, I got delayed by a complicated surgery. How long have you been wating?”
Iwan sat across from me. He probably came in a hurry as these was sweat on his forehead and nose.
I quickly shook my head and said, “I just arrived not long ago, saving lives is more important, and a bit of delay is nothing. Have someter first
“You’re so understanding today. Why?” van asked with a smile after taking a sip of water.

As the decious food was brought in the table, he looked at me curiously.
“Another big dinner. What’s the occation? The marriage is over, so don’tulime you want me to help you reconcile with Rowan”

ended up living like a widow.”
Ivan’s serious expression indicated that he wasn’t joking.
My heart skipped a beat. It turned out my pursuit of Rowan had been twisted into a mentalness in others‘ minds.
But it was fine as I had already come to my senses. Hadn’t a divorced him?
“You’re right. I also think there was something wrong with me back then. So, why did you try to talk me out of divorcing Rowan?” I threw the question back at him.
Ivan gently stroked the cup. There was some unclear emotion in his gaze.
“What did you want to talk to me about? You look so secious” In the end, he skipped my question and changed the subject.
“Dr. York, we know each other pretty well now, don’t we?” I forced a sincere smile.
“You’re the only one who knows about my infertility. Can you do me a favor?”
“Go en,” Ivan replied
“Can you help me find a doctor who can treat my condition? Even though I’m divorced, I still want to be a mother someday.”
I sighed. I felt melancholy when I imagined being alone and childless in my fature.
I genuinely loved children. If I had my own, I would cherish and love them even more.
tan frowned and stared at me. “Are you planning to face this alone?”
What else could I do? I didn’t want this matter to be widely known. It concerned my dignity as a woman.
There was a difference between choosing not to have children and being unable to have them.
“Yes, you promised me you wouldn’t tell anyone.” I nodded and asked again, “You really won’t tell anyone, right?”
“I won’t. I can swear on my life.” Iran’s gaze deepened.
“Don’t you trust me? What are you worried about?”
Of course, I was worried. But apart from what he did for Ashley in my previous lite, Ivan was considered a trustworthy man even though he was from a wealthy family.
Ishook my head and smiled sincerely “Why wouldn’t I trust you? If I didn’t trust you, why would I even dare to ask for your help?
Ivan raised an eyebrow. He asked in a doubt, “Really?”
“Really. So, can you help me? It doesn’t matter if it works out or not.
“Just do what you can,” I said earnestly. Right now, nothing was more important than taking care of my health.
“Okay, I promise I will, but I can’t guarantee the results.” Ivan prepared me mentally, in case my expectations were too high
I understood. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, it gave me something to look forward to
Ivan nodded and confirmed his promise.
I was so happy that I kept serving dishes to Ivan. I almost wanted to stack all the dishes on his plate.
Ivan didn’t refuse for a long time. Eventually, he finally stopped me. “Enough. I don’t eat that much.”
Iclicked my tongue. “Dr. York, you really know how to live a healthy lifestyle. You’re tall and fair even with such a small appetite. I’m impressed.”

“If you can’t think of anything nice to say, just save it and eat.” Ivan’s expression changed slightly as he looked slightly irritated Tobediently shut up. After all, not speaking with your mouth full was a good habit.
