Chapter 229 Ronald's words were cut short when he noticed lan emerging from behind the security door. He was on a phone call. "Ivy has been through so much pain, lan, you have to stand up for her!" lan looked at Sage, who met his gaze stoically. Sage had put two and two together based on the middle-aged man's words. Ivy had taken the medication lan bought in the resort, and something had gone wrong. Ivy had her stomach pumped in the hospital, and Ronald thought it was her doing.
So, lan left because Ivy had been taken to the hospital. He called her here because of Ivy.

Ivy said "My poor Ivy, you're just too considerate for your own good!" Ronald said. "Just think about it. How many times has this woman schemed against you and hurt you? I wouldn't have known about any of these things if your Aunt Sandra hadn't toldabout what had happened last time!" Ivy gritted her teeth and said, "It was just a scrape. It wasn't anything serious. Besides, lan already apologized on behalf of Mrs. Holcomb." "Is that so? Don't treatlike a fool! You were bleeding from your head, and your neck was bruised. If lan hadn't arrived in time, you might've been killed by her!” Ronald fumed. " Regardless, she owes us an explanation this time!" He then shot daggers at Sage.
Just then, the elevator dinged. "Uncle Ron, let's head to Ivy's ward first. We can talk things out there," lan suggested.
"Right, let's do that.” Ronald suppressed his anger and was about to push Ivy's bed into the elevator. However, Sage remained motionless in front of the elevator.
lan glanced at her and said calmly, “Let's go to the ward together." Sage sneered. "What does this have to do with me? Why did you callover? Why should I go to the ward with you?" "How dare-" Ronald was about to snap when Ivy tugged on his sleeve. “Forget it, Dad. If Mrs. Holcomg doesn't want to cwith us, we shouldn't force her." lan looked at Sage, who showed no signs of backing down. He politely yet firmly asked the two nurses, "Could you please wait over there for a moment?" 1/2 Perhaps overwhelmed by the air of authority around lan, the nurses exchanged glances and walked to the front of the corridor. The elevator doors closed and it began descending. lan looked into Sage's eyes and asked, "Did you touch Ivy's medication in the car just now?" Sage smiled wryly. "Before you grill me, could you at least cluein on what's going on? How am I supposed to answer when I have no idea what happened?"
lan ignored her sarcasm and responded calmly, "I've had someone someon from the verify it. The medications from the drugstore wer were fine, and the staff didn't make any stops when he delivered them." "Why are you askingwhen you've already made up your mind?" Sage sneered.

lan's forehead creased. "Don't be unreasonable, Sage. I'm just stating the facts. Ivy accidentally ingested e. warfarin, which clashes with the antibiotic amoxicillin. She almost died! I called you over to look into all the possibilities."
Setting aside her frustration at being suspected, Sage realized that being stubborn wouldn't solve the problèm ve.
at hand Mulling it over, she calmed down a little. "I didn't touch her medications. I don't even know what warfarin is." lan continued to stare into her eyes. "The surveillance footage in the drugstore shows that you spent quite a while in the antibiotic section." X
