The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2246

Balfour felt the fire burning in his chest; Nolan’s blatant gaze was something he couldn’t believe Ivy was oblivious to it.

“For me, he’s just a guy friend who occasionally checks in on me, makes sure I’m okay. What’s wrong with that? Or do you think I don’t deserve someone’s concern?”

Balfour certainly noticed her discomfort, and he didn’t want to fight with Ivy. However, seeing her defend Nolan at every turn made him uneasy.

“Doesn’t your defense of him prove something? Look, I don’t want to argue right now. Just get some rest.”

With that, he left the hospital room, leaving Ivy alone, gasping for breath.
