Chapter 527
After a night of spreading, online news became even more popular.
Just as netizens were speculating various conspiracy theories, the official announcement from the Winston Group was released.
"This morning at ten o'clock, Mr. Ivan will hold a press conference at the first private hospital in Watertown. Reporters, please arrive on time."
As soon as the announcement was made, the online crowd instantly became lively.
[Is Ivan going to clarify things?]
[Clarify what? The engagement invitations are already out. It must be about the engagement!]
[Then what's the press conference for?]
[Don't rush. It's already nine o'clock. There's still an hour before the conference starts. I want to watch it live!]
[I want to watch it too!]
The press conference hadn't even started yet, and the netizens were already buzzing with excitement.
Meanwhile, Haley had just opened her eyes.
She glanced at the time and realized it was already nine in the morning.
She had actually slept in the hospital room until this time!
She sat up abruptly, only to find herself lying in the hospital bed, with Ivan gone.
The man was sitting outside the balcony of the hospital room, with a laptop on his knee, typing rapidly on the keyboard.
As soon as she sat up, the man looked up.
The gaze of the two met through the balcony window.
The morning sunlight streamed in, the dust in the air was clearly visible, and the world suddenly became quiet.
After staring at him blankly for a few minutes, Haley suddenly came to her senses. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she averted her gaze and got out of bed.
As she turned her head, she saw two marriage certificates placed on the bedside table.
She was stunned.
Mrs. Winston was too quick; she had already arranged the marriage certificates so soon.
Her hand paused for a moment, carefully picked up the two marriage certificates and opened them.
What caught her eye was a photo.
For convenience, Mrs. Winston had someone digitally composite a photo of her and Ivan's most decent photo into a marriage certificate photo.
It looked surprisingly seamless.
"After the wedding, we'll take new wedding photos."
Ivan walked in at some point, his leg injury still not healed, walking with a slight limp.
He stood beside Haley, embracing her slender waist.
His hand was hot, causing Haley to tremble involuntarily.
Thinking of the scene where they kissed on the hospital bed last night, she quickly took a step back and said, "It's getting late, you should get ready soon, there's a press conference later."
Ivan spread his hands out, confidently saying, "My injury hasn't healed yet, help me get dressed."
Haley was speechless.
This man was too shameless!
Last night, he clearly said he was already fine, being affectionate and almost making love in the hospital!
And now, he had the nerve to say his injury hadn't healed yet.
She snorted lightly, threw the suit on the bedside over, and said unkindly, "Dress yourself."
The suit landed right on Ivan's chest, he held the injured area, letting out a muffled groan. "Ouch."
Haley quickly walked over, worriedly asking, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you okay? Should I call the doctor?"
Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed.
The man roamed freely on her lips, then let her go, his voice hoarse. "I told you yesterday, I'm already fine. You silly girl, how can you still believe such a poor lie?"
