Chapter 10

It was Ezekiel who stepped forward, blocked her behind him and said firmly, “I believe Ivy is definitely not such a person.”

He hugged the aggrieved Ivy and said, “Ivy, no matter what happens, I believe in you.”

But then, for the sake of Letitia, he broke his promise.

What hurt more than the sarcasm in his words was his distrustful look.

The director took the three of them to the office.

Since there was no sound in the surveillance video and the red envelope was indeed found in Ivy's clothes, she was demoted and fined.

After hearing what happened, especially the incident involving the changing of clothes, a glimmer of understanding flashed across the director’s eyes.

She sent Letitia away, she turned to Ivy and Ezekiel and said slowly, “Ivy, I believe you. The hospital will continue to conduct a thorough investigation and clear your name.

“What are you going to do with Letitia then?”

Ivy was warmed by the director's words.

The director believed her, but her fiancé, with whom she had been in love for ten years, was full of distrust.

She laughed at herself and said in a weak but firm voice, “I want her to leave the Second Hospital.”

Ezekiel's eyes flashed and he wanted to explain, but after seeing Ivy's expression, he closed his mouth again.

How could he not understand that all of this was directed and acted by Letitia herself?

He just did not want to expose the truth and did not want to disappoint Letitia, so it did not matter even if it hurt Ivy.

Ivy figured that out, felt sour and bitter in her heart.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her hurt, said thank you to the director and then stood up to leave.

Ezekiel was a little flustered and followed closely.

Anyway, she was leaving in five days, so she simply packed her things, took annual leave and went home directly.

In the evening, after Ezekiel got off work, he saw the suitcase in the living room and finally panicked.

He held Ivy's hand tightly, his voice trembling, “Ivy, where are you going? Why are you suddenly packing your things?”

Ivy turned her head and looked at the calendar with only a few pages left, without saying anything.

Ezekiel followed her gaze and after seeing the calendar clearly, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

According to convention, Ivy had to return to the Reid Family before getting married.

He pulled Ivy to sit down, packed her luggage for her and coaxed her in a soft voice.

“Ivy, I know you are angry and you have been wronged, but…."

He paused, then spoke hesitantly, “But, can we not let the director investigate this matter again? Letitia has worked diligently for so long and she will definitely be sad if she loses this internship.”

Ivy was amused by his bandit logic and asked calmly, “What about me? Am I not sad when I was wrongly accused and demoted?”

Without thinking, Ezekiel blurted out, “You are different.

“Ivy, we are going to get married soon and you still have me. I believe in you.”

It was indeed different. The person who truly had Ezekiel’s support was Letitia.

Ivy lowered her eyes to hide the mockery in her eyes and chuckled, “Yes, you are one of them.”

Seeing her self-deprecating smile, Ezekiel felt a dull pain in his heart as if he was hurt.
