Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 457 Living on the Edge 

When I arrived at the hospital, I noticed the increased security in the VIP ward.

Guards stood every few steps along the corridor leading to Ivanna’s ward.I felt uneasy and wondered if something had happened.I quickly approached the ward and saw Lauren inside, but Jared wasn’t around.

lvanna was awake and turned to me when I entered.

Her voice was weak, asking, "Why are you so late?"

"Ugh, don't even ask,"

I complained as I recounted what happened with Grace.

lvanna and Lauren were surprised, and the latter clicked her tongue disapprovingly.

"Tsk tsk.Grace’s past misfortune probably led to this, and Melanie wants to collect her debts."

lvanna sneered, "None of the Murphys deserve pity.Chlo, don't go soft-hearted again.You should know how pointless it is."

I understood her reasoning for saying that.

After all, she had witnessed the Murphys’ cruelty toward me and Ava.

I put down my bag and approached Ivanna’s bedside, asking, "What's with the increased security outside?"

Lauren glanced at me and said softly, "I heard Trinity come this morning but didn’t enter the ward because Jared stopped her at the door.Jared probably thinks she'll force her way through.He went out, probably for negotiations."
