Heat waves rolled, and the cicadas' cries outside the villa were incessant.
When Christopher Robinson arrived, Ivy Harrison seemed to see her savior.
She hurriedly went to meet him, calling him "sir" with urgency. Comparing Ivy and Madeline Carter, Christopher was more willing to believe in Ivy. After all, in his opinion, this middle-aged housekeeper knew more about mother-son love than Ivy.
She would not use cruel methods against her own son for her own selfish desires.
In the courtyard, heat was rising, and Christopher stared at Ivy with a cold, indifferent tone: "She's sick?"
Ivy did not dare to hide it: "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Christopher did not feel worried for a moment. Instead, he felt that Madeline had a strong will to live, and this kind of person who commits many evils and disregards human relationships seemed to have a desire to live for a thousand years.
