Chapter 1470
Elaine’s voice was coarse. “Not anymore.”
Ian touched her hand, which was cold because of the IV drips. The warmth from his
palms stopped her from shivering and made her feel warm.
Ian looked at her. “Go to sleep. You’ll feel better when you wake up.”
His voice was soft as a feather. Elaine closed her eyes and fell asleep in no time.
Maisie found out that Elaine was in the hospital because Lucy was taking a day off. she
asked how she was, but Lucy was silent.
She curiously asked, “what’s wrong?”
“Ms. Vanderbilt...” Lucy pressed her lips together. “ My sister... might not be able to get
pregnant in the future.”
Maisie paused.
She couldn’t leave work because she had a lot on her plate, so she asked Saydie to

Lucy didn’t want to bother Hector, so she didn’t tell him. When the two women got to the hospital and opened the
room door, they saw Ian feeding Elaine soup.

Elaine choked because of their sudden appearance and started coughing, which made her wound hurt.
Ian immediately raised his arms to help her.
Lucy immediately walked to the bed. “Are you alright?”
Elaine waved her hand. “I’m fine. How did you know that I was admitted?”
Lucy fell silent.
“Did your mom tell you?”
Elaine could guess because both the mother and daughter loved to worry. “I’m fine, just took a stab.”
“How are you fine after getting stabbed? Do you have to die to not be fine?”

‘Did she really throw her life away because of this man?’
Elaine was confused because she had been stabbed just once and was awake now. Thus, why did Lucy think that
she was badly hurt?
“You’re overreacting,” said Elaine.
Lucy lost her cool. “Don’t you know how bad this is? Did you know that you— Mm! ”
Saydie covered her mouth quickly. “It’s fine, Ms. Xavier. Your sister is just worried, so her emotions flared.”
Elaine nodded because she could tell as much.

Saydie calmly replied, “She’s still recovering. Telling her wouldn’t be beneficial to her
recovery.”
Lucy paused because she realized that she was too impulsive. “I’m sorry. I was just too

When he returned to the room, Elaine didn’t know why they had left, so she looked at
him. “where are they?”
Ian looked down. “Outside.”
“Why are they being so secretive? My dad too, as if I have some incurable disease.”
Elaine leaned back on the pillow behind her back, she was still alive after being
stabbed, shouldn’t they be happy?
Why were they acting as if she had died?
Ian pressed his lips together, walked to the chair, and slowly sat down. After a long
pause, he spoke. “ Elaine.”
Elaine looked at him, a little stunned.
She hesitated for a short while before asking, “what’s going on?”
