Chapter 852
"The patient passed out 'cause of too much stress and not enough sleep," the doc murmured. "When she wakes up, make sure she chills for at least three days. As her fam, you gotta spend more time with her and help her de-stress."
Ivan's face got a bit darker. "Thanks, doc. Got it."
After finishing up the IV, the doc packed his stuff and bounced.
Ivan looked at Bryan. "What went down before Haley fainted?"
Bryan pressed his lips together. This was his first time meeting the mysterious Ivan.
He always thought there was some serious beef between Haley and Ivan; otherwise, why hadn't Ivan ever visited the Lumi Family?
But now, seeing him, he got it. Ivan really cared about Haley. Since stepping into the hospital, the worry in Ivan's eyes never left.
Maybe the reason Ivan hadn't visited the Lumi Family was 'cause of the scar on his face?
Bryan avoided staring at the scar and said softly, "There was some shady construction going on at the site, and Haley got into it with them. Luckily, those guys were taken down quick, so it didn't get worse. Haley was sorting out the followup work when she suddenly passed out."
Ivan's eyes narrowed. He paused for a few seconds before saying, "You take over the resort project. If you got any questions, hit me up. Let's swap contact info."
Bryan was momentarily stunned. Then he got it. Ivan didn't want Haley stressing over this stuff anymore.
Bryan nodded and swapped contact info with Ivan. "Ivan, take good care of Haley. I gotta go file the new plan."
If it wasn't for him, Haley wouldn't have gone for the successor spot, and she wouldn't be so stressed that she fainted.
It was his screw-up that made his dad and Haley worry about him all the time.
Bryan took one last look at Haley lying on the bed, pressed his lips together, and walked out of the room.
Ivan stood on the hospital room balcony and called Ariana. "From now on, I'm handling all work between Star Technical Company and the DeRoss Group. Haley's not well and won't be dealing with work for now. I know a bit about these projects. Send everything to my email. If Haley asks, tell her everything's under control."
Before he could finish talking, he heard a noise behind him.
Ivan quickly hung up and turned around, meeting Haley's cold eyes.
"Who were you talking to?" Haley's voice was steady, no emotion. She got up and threw off the blanket, trying to get out of bed.
Ivan's eyes narrowed. He quickly walked over and held her down, his voice low. "You're still on an IV. Don't move."
"Ivan, can you stop being so selfish and overbearing!" Haley glared at Ivan. "My work, my career, doesn't need your interference. Who gave you the right to contact Ariana? Who said you could take over all my responsibilities?"
Ivan looked at her, a storm brewing in his eyes.
Before, Haley's unusual behavior never clearly showed her emotions; it was only through actions or glances. But now, Haley could spit out such a long speech.
Was Haley's condition getting worse?
