Suzy looked at Liam and smiled. "Seems like you really do love Miss Ivy, huh? It is no wonder why Miss Ivy was so reluctant to
seduce Mister Josiah."
Liam froze slightly as he looked at Ivy.
"What did you say? It's because of me that Ivy..."
"Don't listen to her, Liam," Ivy cut him off and went on, "I didn't do what I was told to because I couldn't bring myself to do it. It has
nothing to do with you."
Liam, who felt slightly relieved, was let down again.
Smiling bitterly, he said, "V, how I wish that this was true."
He then said to Suzy, "Suzy, please do think about what I've just offered and let me know what you want."
"I must admit that your offer is really tempting, but..." Suzy shook her head and said, "I really don't have an answer for you."
Ivy felt her heart sink deeper.
Seeing how Suzy had rejected Liam's good offer, could it be that she was telling the truth?
Could it be that she would be disappointed again this time?
Taking a deep breath, Ivy said to Suzy, "Suzy, I really hope that you'd reconsider Liam's offer. Be it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or in months, you can contact me if you change your mind. Please."
"Miss Ivy, I'm going to tell you again that the child is no longer with us. There's nothing for me to reconsider. You can wait all you want but you won't get an answer from me." Suzy then gave a light
nod at Ivy and said, "I'll leave now."
Liam had his assistant send Suzy home and he stayed with Ivy.
With his arm over her shoulders, he comforted her, "V, don't be too upset. We've promised to not get our hopes up, right?"
Looking at him, she sniffled, "Do you trust what Suzy said?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Liam hesitated and said, "I'm not sure."
"But I know Suzy. She would not betray Mrs. Shelby that easily."
"So...you still think there's a chance?"
"Don't you think so?" Ivy suddenly got all worked up as she went on, "Liam, this is a child's life that we're talking about. Can't you take this more seriously? Even if you don't want to waste time and resources on helping me, can you just stop demotivating me? How are we supposed to look for her if we don't try harder?"
Liam was startled by her sudden outburst. Confused, he asked, "V, what's wrong? I didn't say that I wasn't going to help. I'm just worried that you'd be disappointed again."
"I already said that I will help you with whatever you need me to." He stroked her face and added, "Don't worry, I will help you to find her even if it's just a small possibility."
Looking at him, Ivy slowly realized that she was acting out of her character.
"I'm sorry, Liam. I was rambling because I got too work up. I don't mean to blame you."
"I understand. It's alright."
"You're already busy as it is with your work and with Yanne's pregnancy. You're not obliged to help me look for my daughter in the
first place."
"Ivy, I'll be upset if you keep talking like this," Liam said, helplessly.

"Ivy," Liam interrupted her, "you don't have to say anything else. What's yours is mine too. I will help you to find her."
"Give me a copy of your child's information. I will send people to look for her."
Ivy felt her heart thumping fast against her chest, she could finally see hope again but for some reason, tears started welling up
in her eyes again.
Shaking her head, she said, "I don't know. I don't know anything about her. I didn't even know what she looked like because Mrs.
Shelby had taken her away from me right after she was born. Aside from knowing that she's a girl, I don't know anything else..."
Liam gave it a thought and asked again, "Have you tried looking for her by getting a blood test?"
"I did, but..." Ivy shook her head again.
