The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2486

By the time they left the hospital, the swarm of reporters was upon them like vultures to carrion.

Curious onlookers had already begun to pester the staff, demanding to know who was admitted and why Ivy had come to visit.

“Hey, Ivy! If she’s your family member, why not transfer her to a better hospital?” one reporter barked. “Don’t tell me you’re too cheap to spend your hard-earned cash on your own kin. The net’s been buzzing with rumors that you’ve cut ties with your family over too many shady deeds -is that true?”

“Ivy! Look over here!” another shouted, snapping pictures. “You’re with a guy as loaded as Mr. Howard, and you can’t spare a dime for your family? What’s the story behind this family feud?”

Ivy’s breath hitched as their words pierced her heart. Who were they to say she hadn’t spent money on her family? Why was it always her being interrogated? The past issues had been clarified already.
