CHAPTER 822: CHAPTER 511: IVY, WOULD YOU MIND?

Isla Linton looked at Ivy Miller with a hint of admiration.

Indeed, only such a girl could bring happiness to a man with a personality like Henry Sullivan.

The distance between her and Henry wasn’t far, as their personalities were similar.

But it was precisely this similar personality that made them both reluctant to speak when things happened, bottling it inside.

Over time... this love would inevitably collapse one day.

Even if it wasn’t because of Henry’s mother back then, they would have separated due to other issues.

Perhaps that’s just fate.

"Where are we going to look at houses?"

"You’ll know soon enough," Ivy Miller said mysteriously as she drove to the apartment they had in the city.

"Isla, you know where this is, right?"

"Isn’t this... the apartment where Henry used to live?"

Ivy nodded: "Yeah, we just moved out a few days ago, we’re living on the base now, so it’s empty for now.

You can stay here for now, you like peace and quiet, which is perfect, as you’re the only one here.

We usually won’t disturb you.

If I want to hang out with you, I’ll call you in advance."

"How can that be alright, I can’t keep accepting your kindness."

Ivy chuckled: "Why not? This isn’t called kindness, it’s called mutual support. Who knows, maybe I’ll need your help in the future."

She said while getting out of the car: "Come on, let’s go upstairs and have a look, and I’ll give you the keys while we’re at it."

She didn’t even need to discuss this with Henry Sullivan, he would definitely agree.

After spending some time upstairs, Ivy asked: "Actually, you didn’t need to check it out, you could have just moved in with the keys.

You should have been here before, right? It’s the same as before, nothing’s changed."

Isla turned her head to Ivy: "Ivy, do you mind?"

"Mind what? That you’ve been here before?"

Ivy laughed: "I’m not that petty.

If you had come here after I married Uncle, I would definitely mind.

But when you came here, I had nothing to do with Uncle.

We were from two different worlds then, he was yours, it was only natural for you to come here."

"You’re so young, yet you think so openly about everything."

"It’s not open-mindedness, it’s being reasonable," Ivy said with an adorable expression.

"My dad always tells me that reason applies everywhere, reason and you can travel the world."

Isla smiled and nodded: "Then I’ll really stay here."

Ivy nodded: "Yes, just stay here, I’m calling the shots."

"Thank you."

"Isla, you don’t let Uncle say sorry to you, then you can’t say thank you to me either.

Ever since I met you that day, I’ve really liked you.

If we had known each other a few years earlier, I would’ve tried to match you up with Uncle.

But it’s too late now, so I can only work hard to set you up with your mister."

Isla chuckled: "You’re still thinking about this?"

"Of course I am. James Yinley hasn’t done anything wrong, he can’t be treated like this by you forever.

So you should listen to me, use your boring daily time to focus on improving your health.

If it really doesn’t work out, there’s still IVF nowadays.

Worst case, even if your womb isn’t suitable for pregnancy.

You can have someone else carry the embryo for you.

In this day and age, technology is so advanced."

Isla nodded: "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Ivy gave her a thumbs up: "That’s right, and also, don’t be constantly gloomy.

You not being happy is one thing, but harming your health is a big deal.

My mom is very focused on health, whenever I’m in a bad mood and lose my temper, she tells me it’s bad for the liver.

Being angry and depressed isn’t good for the body."

Isla laughed lightly: "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

"If you’d listen to me, you’d go back to James Yinley now."

Isla looked troubled, she smiled but didn’t say anything.

Ivy noticed that Isla was very opinionated on certain matters.

After they left home, Ivy took her to a Traditional Medicine clinic in Ning City that Sienna helped her find.

Since there were many people, they queued for a long time, and when it was Isla’s turn, Ivy was worried for her.

The Traditional Medicine doctor took her pulse, his expression remained calm: "You had a miscarriage before, right?"

Isla nodded: "Yes."

"How long have you not had your period?"

"About half a year."

"You have some liver and kidney yin deficiency, and after the miscarriage, your health was not well tended, ovarian function isn’t good, plus liver blood deficiency, amenorrhea... You’ve had an ultrasound, is your uterus a bit small?"

"Yes," the more the doctor spoke, the more disappointed Isla became.

"Your condition makes it quite difficult to regulate for pregnancy."

Seeing Isla’s face turn pale, Ivy thought how this doctor couldn’t read people’s expressions.

She quickly said: "Doctor, difficult doesn’t mean impossible to conceive, right?"

The doctor looked up at her, saw her winking, and nodded: "That’s right, but your body will need some effort, I’ll prescribe some traditional medicine for you, start taking it to regulate your body, it’s a twenty-day course, after that come back to me."

"Okay."

Throughout the consultation, Isla spoke less than ten sentences in total.

After they collected the medicine, Ivy said: "See, the doctor said it’s not impossible to regulate."

"Ivy, you know, I’m almost forty, starting treatment now, who knows how many years it will take.

By then, I might have already passed the best age for childbirth, even if I’m healthy by then, what’s the point?"

"There you go again, feeling down, where’s your positive energy? You’ve got to muster up motivation.

No matter the final outcome, isn’t effort more important?"

Really, Isla, don’t lose hope, at this time you should encourage yourself to look to a better future, not dwell in self-indulgence.

"Okay," Isla smiled and nodded: "With you trying so hard for me, I’ll make more effort for myself."

She hugged the medicine to her chest: "I’ll listen to you, and take the medicine properly, okay?"

"Good, that’s more like it, let me take you back to Uncle’s place then.

You already have the key, you can move in anytime."

"Okay."

After all the running around, Ivy didn’t even notice it was already the evening when she got home.

The base is really far from the city, thinking about it now, how Uncle commuted every day was no easy feat.

She’s decided she has to reward Uncle.
