Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 267

Ivy knew with absolute certainty that she held no place in Alaric's heart.

Perhaps once Stella grew up and understood things better, or if The Biological Mother suddenly returned, Alaric would instantly hand her divorce papers.

A husband who refused to meet her family and offered no future—what was there left to expect?

Ivy looked at her sisters and spoke the cold, hard truth.

"You both know we got married on a whim. There's no deep emotional bond. The fact that he funds our lifestyle is more than enough."

"From now on, do not ask to meet him again. He has no time, and I won't arrange it."

Her sisters could think whatever they wanted.

She had already fulfilled all her duties as the older sibling.

As for her own private affairs, she certainly didn't need them agonizing over it.

Hazel and Gemma fell completely silent.

Since Ivy had laid it out so bluntly, there was nothing left to say.

It proved their worst fears—Ivy's life with that old man was thoroughly miserable.

She held absolutely zero power or respect in his household.

They ached for her but were completely powerless to help.

"Ivy, I'm going to work so hard and make a ton of money. Once I'm rich, I'll give it all to you."

Hazel's eyes grew red, and fighting back tears, she threw her arms around Ivy.

Gemma, sitting up in bed, felt the same way.

She knew Ivy had sacrificed a massive part of her soul to secure a spot at this prestigious hospital.

But terrified of wasting her sister's efforts, she could only quietly comply with her treatments.

Once she beat this illness, she promised herself she would build a nest egg for Ivy too.

Choking down the heavy ache in her chest, Ivy gently pushed her sister back.

"Don't worry about making money right now. Your only priority is graduating. And seriously, stop running around."

She kept her emotions strictly in check, lecturing them while skillfully adjusting Gemma's IV drip.

Seeing Gemma's increasingly fragile frame and hollow eyes tore her apart.
