Chapter 2529
But no matter what, the results of Alyssa’s emergency treatment were still unknown, and
Dean was at the hospital by her side. How could these two young people just abandon
their duties because they were heartbroken?
They had to step up and take care of the family now.
“Do you think I’m not worried?” Ivy’s eyes reddened, and she couldn’t bear to go on,
fearing that one more word would reveal the quiver in her voice.
She never wanted to think about it, but if she hadn’t had that extra drink, maybe Alyssa
wouldn’t have come upstairs to check on her. Could it be that none of this would have
happened?
Alyssa and Magnolia had been having a great time chatting earlier that day. It was her
birthday, and it was so rare to have all her old friends gathered together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey had thrown such a lively birthday party in hopes that Alyssa would have a great
time, but it had ended like this. If they had known it would turn out this way, they might as
well have had a quiet family dinner together. But what’s done is done, and there was no
room for regret now. Ivy just wanted to figure out why it happened.
Balfour couldn’t help but pull Ivy into his arms when he saw her like this. Both of them
were struggling. He had been caught up in his own grief and hadn’t considered that Ivy
was drowning in guilt just like him.
“I’m sorry,” he murmured.
Ivy shook her head continuously in his embrace, “It’s not your fault.”
She wanted to reassure Balfour not to blame himself. This accident was unforeseen, and
neither of them had wanted things to turn out this way.
Mara, sitting behind them, clenched her mouse tightly and finally couldn’t help but slam
down the cup she was holding, startling both of them.
Balfour turned around with a frown, his gaze filled with displeasure as he said, “If you’re
tired, I can arrange for you to rest in the guest room.”
Mara had already put on a harmless expression.
“I’m not tired. It just seems that Alyssa might have really fallen by accident.”
Olivia had been silent the whole time, just observing, but suddenly she interjected, “Why?
How do you know she fell by herself?”
Mara’s speech halted, and she turned her face, angrily eyeing Olivia.
Then Ivy spoke, calm and measured, “Yeah, not only does Olivia want to know, but I’m
also curious how you came to that conclusion.”.

Under the scrutiny of the three, Mara’s face slowly flushed, and she stuttered, pointing at
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe computer screen, “We’ve been looking for evidence for so long and haven’t seen
anyone push Alyssa. Isn’t that proof enough? I know everyone’s heartbroken, but that
doesn’t mean you can accuse someone unjustly because of your grief.”
Olivia tilted her head as if she genuinely didn’t understand and continued, “If no suspect
has been found, how is that accusing someone unjustly? We might not have found
evidence of someone pushing Alyssa, but we haven’t found evidence of her falling on her
own either, right? The most reliable thing would be to wait for Alyssa to wake up and ask
her.”
Mara frowned deeply, thinking no one saw her expression, but Ivy saw it all clearly.
Mara sneered inwardly, ‘That old hag better be lucky to even wake up!’
“Mara, do you disagree with what Olivia is saying? Or do you have another opinion?”
