A Mixed Bag of News
Jared''s hands were pressed against the wall of the emergency room door.
As walked over, and that was when he calmed down.
He stood up straight and looked at As.
"Thank you." As only said, "She''ll be fine! Trust the doctors!" Two hourster, the lights in the
emergency room finally went out.
The weary doctors emerged, bearing news that was a mix of joy and concern.
The doctor exined that Ivanna''s vital signs had returned to normal.
She had suffered only minor external injuries.
However, because of being bound for an extended period, there was some tissue necrosis in her arm.
Recovery would depend on how she responded.
I felt a sense of unease.
I rushed forward and asked, "How did it be necrotic? What are the chances of recovery?" The
doctor patiently exined, "It''s just a sign of necrosis.
We will have to wait for the patient to regain consciousness and assess her sensory response before
determining her chances of recovery.
But the outlook is promising." 1 I finally sighed with relief.
Jared got her a high-end private room and stationed guards both inside and outside.
He sealed off any information from leaking out.
If news like this got out, the consequences could be unimaginable.
This was no longer just a matter of emotions.
It will escte into a dreadful event.
Before long, Ivanna was transported back to her room.
The medical staff had cleaned her, but herplexion still looked pale.
"Ivanna, wake up," Jared whispered as he gently patted her hand.
“ Don''t be afraid, you''re safe now." I could see the pain in his eyes.
With us here, he was holding it together.
Otherwise, he would have surely broken down.
I turned away, wiping away the tears in my eyes.
I looked out the window and noticed that it was getting light outside.
We stayed by her side the whole time.
Though Jared urged her a few times, she still didn''t wake up.
I couldn''t bring myself to leave.
Eventually, the doctor told us to leave, saying she still showed no signs of awakening.
It was likely a deep sleep phase, and we shouldn''t disturb her.
We had no choice but to leave.
Jared stayed to watch over Ivanna.
1 As took us back to the Amethyst Apartments, urging us to rest.

Then he drove off, saying he needed to visit the office.
I knew he must have matters to attend to.
Lauren went to the guest room, and I was genuinely exhausted.
I had rushed back from Celestis Ind, stayed up all night, and hadn''t even showered.
I fell asleep on the bed without a second thought.
When Lauren woke me up, it was already 7 p.m.
I was startled and asked, "Any news?" "Yeah.
They said she woke up," she whispered.
I quickly got up, brushed my teeth, and freshened up.
I didn''t even have time to eat anything before rushing to the hospital.
As I entered the room, I noticed a frai] Ivanna, herplexion still pale.
As soon as she saw us, she burst into tears.
"Chlo, Lauren!" The three of us were on the verge of tears.
Jared stood silently on the side, his eyes filled with guilt and sorrow.
He had changed into a fresh set of clothes, looking clean and refined.
He was a far cry from the man filled with hostility the night before.
However, I couldn''t shake the unease in my heart.
Could he handle this situation with Trinity? After all, she was not one to be trifled with.
She was fierce and ruthless by nature, and wouldn''t just let this slide.
Now that Jared had openly confronted her, there had to be a reasonable exnation.
An exnation was owed to Trinity and even more so to Ivanna.
Although he had previously stated that Ivanna was his top priority and Trinity was merely a business
partner, their coboration was strange.
It was aplex web, and who could say that something was not hidden between them in their
unusual marital rtionship? As Jared had put it, things could end in a lose-lose situation.
