Ivy hummed in response.
"Haha! Maybe you will change your mind when you find someone you like, but that's for another time. You will be interning at a TV
station soon. I'm so proud of you."
Ivy wavered slightly at the nurse's words, but she no longer felt as nervous after what Layla said to her.
Two hours later, Layla returned with Eric.
The nurse went to the kitchen to cook while Ivy went to help.
Layla helped Eric down on the couch and told Ivy toe out of the kitchen.

"lvy, do you want to go to the broadcasting room to try rehearsing?" Layla asked. "Eric knows someone from a different TV station,
and they can give you a tour when the room isn't being used..."
Ivy shook her head without hesitation. "Mr. Gardner said that he will takearound the station ahead of time, so | don't need to
trouble you, Big Brother Eric."
The air between them instantly froze.
Layla was holding back her laughter, while Eric blushed as he had not expected Ivy to change the way she addressed him right
away.
After taking a moment to calm himself, Eric tried to explain, "lvy, your sister and |—"
"I know that you aren't getting married soon, but since she has already moved in with you, you are definitely going to marry her at
spoint so long as your recovery goes smoothly" Ivy interrupted him. "It's not that big a deal forto start referring to you as
my brother-in-law."
From the moment Eric handed the keys to his house to Layla, he was destined to be in a passive position.
"Are you sure that you don't need to practice at a TV station?" Eric changed the subject.
Ivy shook her head and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Eric, but I'm fine. Mr. Gardner said that practicing at his the sthing.
I will do exactly what other interns do. | believe that | won't fall short in any aspect."
Eric flushed at being called brother twice.
"Why are you so weak to teasing?" Layla mocked. "If Robert calls you that as well, are you going to hide or something?"

Ivy chuckled and got up to pour Eric a glass of water. "Big Brother Eric, which glass is yours? | will pour you swater!"
"lI will do it!" Layla had a faint blush on her face as well.
While they had been driving to his house, Layla had mentioned that Ivy had gotten into the internship program to distract Eric. To
her surprise, he wished to help Ivy.
Though Ivy did not accept his help, Layla had a feeling that Eric was returning to his normal self.
In the evening, Robert cover for dinner and to pick Ivy up.
On their way home, Robert asked, "Ivy, have you noticed that Layla and Eric have grown closer?"
"Have you noticed that | have been referring to him as 'Big Brother Eric'?"
Robert stared at her.
