Chapter 2222
No one could have guessed that such venomous thoughts lurked beneath Diana’s silent
demeanor, as quiet as a church mouse.
Her face betrayed nothing, not one slip. But if Ivy were suddenly out of the picture, would
not that make her the show’s leading lady?
The thought tickled her with delight…
“Don’t give up; keep at it; the ambulance is coming!”
Two lifeguards took turns performing CPR, a truly exhausting task if done correctly.
Their arms numb, they continued the motions out of sheer inertia.
“Again! One, two…”

signs?
To think that a life could slip away right before their eyes; this was unprecedented in their
careers. The guilt weighed heavily on them,
“She’s breathing! She’s breathing!”
Just then, the young assistant heard Ivy’s faint breaths.
Barely there, but enough to reignite hope among everyone present.
“Thank God! You scared the life out of me!”
Colton could not help but clench his fist in a victorious gesture as the ambulance arrived.
The paramedics lifted Ivy onto the stretcher, hooking her up to an oxygen tank, as the
exhausted lifeguards collapsed, chests heaving.
“Thank you, truly, you’ve saved a life today.”
Moisture glistened in Colton’s eyes as he thanked the lifeguards, the fragility of life hitting
him after such a close call.
“Everyone’s worked hard! We can’t shoot the rest today. Please go home and rest up. We’ll
pick up filming later. I’ll keep you posted.”
Many left the set like zombies, shaken by the recent series of accidents.
Thankfully, Ivy was safe. If not, they dreaded how they would face the public.
Alyssa had a bad feeling while preparing dinner at home.
“Honey, I can’t shake the feeling that something’s about to happen. I’m all jittery.”
Dean brought her a glass of honey lemon water.
“Calm down, you’re scaring yourself. The kids are alright. What could possibly happen?”

twitch.
“If that’s the case, why don’t you rest and let me handle dinner?” Dean suggested.
Nodding, she reminded him before heading upstairs to make an extra pot of soup. Ivy
would need a good meal after a busy day.
But no one expected that two hours after dinner was ready, Ivy still had not returned from
work.
“Is she shooting late tonight? It was odd. There was nothing on Ivy’s schedule after 6 p.m.
Did she fake on something else?”
The couple was puzzled, wondering why Ivy had not come home.
As they were about to call Colton, his call came through.
He had an apology at the ready. Ivy was still in the hospital; they had to be informed.
“What did you say? Say it again?”
