The crowd surrounded them, making a lot of noise, shouting, “Is this how you treat patients?”

She frowned and glanced at him, thinking to herself that it was not good.

That was a medical dispute.

Thinking of that, she lowered her head and dialed the security department to prevent the situation from escalating further.

Unexpectedly, when they looked up again, the angry crowd became excited again when they saw her wearing a white coat.

In an instant, she was pushed to Ezekiel's side.

Ezekiel just glanced at her coldly, then tightly clenched his hands to protect Letitia, fearing that she would get hurt.

Ivy regretted getting involved and reached out to comfort the angry family members.

Who knows. The next second, a cold silver light flashed.

“Letitia.”

She only heard Ezekiel scream and then he pushed her away and faced the dagger head-on.

Soon, the dagger stabbed her heart fiercely.

The pain spread, blood gushed out, Ivy became hoarse, her face turned pale in an instant and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

Like the tide receding, the sounds around went from noisy to silent.

Before Ivy gradually lost consciousness, she seemed to see the man who had proposed to her at the age of 18 and vowed to marry her in this life, running towards her with red eyes and hugging her shaking body.

When she regained consciousness, the anesthesia wore off and her heart felt like it was being bitten by millions of ants, the pain was unbearable.

Feeling the twitching in her palm, Ezekiel, with red eyes, immediately came over and held her hand, his face full of heartache and self-blame.

The black bag could be seen under his eyes, as if he had not rested for several days.

“Ivy, it's all my fault. The incident happened suddenly and I failed to protect you.”

Ivy looked at his self-blaming and haggard appearance, but her heart was like a pool of stagnant water.

Even though she knew that Ezekiel no longer loved her and even though she was extremely disappointed in Ezekiel, she did not expect Ezekiel to be so determined and did not expect him to treat her life as a joke.

In Ezekiel's eyes, what on earth was she?

Since Letitia could not get hurt, so did that mean Ivy should die?

She watched Ezekiel's performance intently, suppressing the pain and disappointment in her heart. After a long moment, she let out a sarcastic smile.

“Did you fail to protect me, or did you never think of protecting me at all?”

Ezekiel's hands froze, a trace of panic flashed across his face and in desperation he grabbed her hand and slapped himself in the face.

“Ivy, I know you are angry, but the situation was too urgent at the time and I mistakenly recognized the wrong person. Or you can hit me, as long as you calm down, I am willing to do anything.”

The wound on Ivy's chest was touched again and she pulled her hand back abruptly.

Looking at his hypocritical appearance, Ivy felt annoyed and bored.

Ten years of love were not as good as Letitia's two years of interference.

The moment she was stabbed by the dagger, she could not tell whether the wound hurt more or her heart hurt more. Disappointment and resentment occupied her mind.

She was leaving anyway, so let it be.

She closed her eyes and said coldly, “I'm tired, please go.”

Seeing Ivy closing her eyes and sending the guest away, Ezekiel pursed his lips helplessly, always feeling that something was wrong. 

After a moment, he tucked the corner of the quilt for her in silence and went out.

Because she was in the hospital, even though she did not want to see anyone, Ezekiel still stayed by her side every day, carefully preparing nutritious meals and various gifts.

But she rejected them all, except for a countdown calendar she requested.

The days of the divas were circled in red by Ivy and the first thing she did when she woke up every day was to check the calendar.

Seeing the familiar date, Ezekiel breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was waiting for their wedding.

Little did he knew that she was just waiting to leave.

Half a month later, Ivy was finally discharged from the hospital and taken home by Ezekiel.

Ezekiel covered her eyes, led her to the master bedroom and then slowly let go of her hand.

The pure white and holy wedding dress comes into view, so dazzling under the light.

“Ivy, our wedding dress has arrived, go try it on.”

Ezekiel urged her, stuffed the wedding dress into her hands and said expectantly, “Ivy, you must be very beautiful in this wedding dress.”

But when her eyes fell on the wedding dress, Ivy suddenly felt ironic.

There was a red lip print there.

She understood that Letitia had tried on the wedding dress in advance and deliberately left traces to provoke her.

Ivy pushed aside the wedding dress, lowered her eyes to block the mockery in her eyes and said firmly, “The wedding dress is very beautiful, but there is no need to try it on.”

After all, she was not originally the owner of this wedding dress.

Before Ezekiel could speak, the phone rang suddenly. There was an urgent patient who needed him to go back.

He left in a hurry, completely unaware of Ivy's silence.

She reached out to pick up the phone, her eyes happened to meet the phone screen which he had not had time to cover.

On the screen was Letitia, wearing a white wedding dress and with a bright smile.

Ivy was a little dazed and when she looked up, she just happened to see Letitia who appeared out of nowhere.

Letitia raised her eyebrows slightly and reached out to touch the lip marks on her wedding dress contemptuously.

“Ivy, I won't beat around the bush with you. I think you should know that this wedding dress was bought according to my size.

“You are not worthy of touching my wedding dress.”

Looking at Letitia's resentful expression, Ivy calmed down and smiled faintly.

“So what?”

She asked back, opening her red lips and speaking word by word, “Our wedding is in ten days and your Ezekiel has no intention of canceling the wedding.”

As long as Ezekiel did not cancel the wedding and as long as she did not leave, Letitia would never be seen by others again.

Ivy hit a sore spot and Letitia's face turned red with anger, but she was powerless to refute. She could only watch her close the door and prepare to go to sleep.

Her chest heaved violently, Letitia's eyes darkened and her heart moved.

Before the wedding, Ivy finally recovered from her injuries and returned to work at the hospital.

But after the operation, she ran into Ezekiel and Letitia head-on.

As they looked at each other, she vaguely saw a flash of pride in Letitia's eyes. She frowned and inexplicably had a bad premonition.

Just as he was about to dodge, Letitia, holding a cup of black coffee, bumped into her.

Letitia screamed from the scalding heat of the hot coffee and reached out to grab Ezekiel beside her, her eyes reddened, “It hurts."

After saying that, she seemed to be threatened and quickly explained, “Ezekiel, please don't misunderstand Doctor Reid. She didn't hit me on purpose.

“It's just that I have an intern observation meeting this afternoon and my clothes... I don't have any spare clothes.”

After saying that, she lowered her head and sobbed.

Of course, she had no spare clothes because her other white coat was hanging on the balcony of Ezekiel’s house.

Obviously, Ivy and Ezekiel both thought of it.

Ezekiel looked at Letitia's tears and the soiled white coat with an expression of pity. He turned his gaze to Ivy and spoke in a tone that did not allow for negotiation.

“Ivy, be good. Let Letitia wear your clothes first.”

Listening to his commanding tone and looking down at her own hands that were also scalded red, Ivy felt a prick of pain in her heart, but her face remained cold, “Ezekiel, find out, it was she who bumped into me. Besides, I only have one piece of clothing today.”

Letitia's frame-up was not clever, but Ezekiel still felt distressed when he saw the panic-stricken Letitia.

He frowned, not having time to think about the unreasonableness of it and was only focused on persuading Ivy.

“Ivy, I don't blame you, but no matter how much you hate Letitia, you should always put the overall situation first.

“Letitia has an assessment this afternoon. This assessment is related to whether Letitia will stay or go. No matter how angry you are, you can't joke about Letitia's career. Is it so difficult to just lend you a piece of clothing?”

Listening to his accusations, her hands trembled uncontrollably. She nodded her head and said firmly, “Yes.”

Although Ivy did not know what Letitia was up to, why should she sacrifice herself for something she had not done?

Looking at Ezekiel's angry face, her heart ached again. Ivy really did not want to get entangled with them anymore, so she turned around and prepared to leave.

Sensing her intention, Letitia spoke again with a crying voice, “It's okay, Ezekiel. If Doctor Reid doesn't want to lend it, then don't force her. The director just scolded me a few words. I can bear it.”

Letitia seemed to be trying to persuade them, but in fact she was adding fuel to the fire.

Ezekiel's face darkened and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Ivy, holding her shoulders.

Ivy stared at him in astonishment. Her heart felt like it was being grasped by countless hands and she was about to suffocate.

After ten years of love, that was the first time Ezekiel forced her.

Just to find a white coat for Letitia, there were so many doctors in the whole hospital, why must she have that one?

Ivy's face was covered with wounds and he struggled desperately, but was still defeated.

Looking at her hurt expression, Ezekiel felt a little reluctant, but the sobbing of Letitia behind him made him harden his heart.

“Ivy, be good and wear it for a while.”

The clothes were forcibly changed and Ivy looked at the red marks on her wrists and remained silent.

There was no greater sorrow than a dead heart. She looked coldly at Letitia, who was proud of herself after changing her clothes. She raised her foot to leave, but suddenly a scream came from behind her.

It was Letitia.

She held up a red envelope and looked at Ivy in shock, “Doctor Reid, no wonder you didn't want to change clothes with me, it turns out you secretly accepted the envelope from the patient.”

All of a sudden, there was a buzzing sound in her brain and Ivy stood there in a daze.

She suddenly remembered that before the operation this morning, the patient's family had grabbed her clothes and begged desperately.

Without time to think, she subconsciously looked at everyone and shook her head to deny, “I didn't.”

By chance, the family member showed up.

He grabbed Ivy's hand with a distorted expression, “Miss Reid, why don't you have any? I gave you 4,000 dollars.”

The doctors and patients who were attracted by the exclamations looked at Ivy in surprise and talked about it.

“You can't judge a person by her appearance, but you can judge her heart by her attitude. Doctor Reid actually did such a thing. She is not worthy of being a doctor at all.”

All the strength in her body seemed to be drained away. Ivy looked up in a daze and happened to meet Letitia's smile.

She said silently, “Ivy, this is what happens if you don't break up with Ezekiel.”

Shock and anger filled Ivy's mind.

She did not have time to think, rushed over and slapped Letitia, “Letitia, you cheated me.”

Ezekiel's face changed drastically. He pulled Letitia into his arms and frowned at Ivy.

“Ivy, you disappoint me so much! You made the mistake yourself, but you still want to put the blame on Letitia.”

Hearing that, Ivy looked at him and suddenly remembered the past and her eyes could not help but redden.

When she was studying for her doctorate, her thesis topic was plagiarized by her junior, who then falsely accused her.
