Chapter 481 Ivy saved me.
While Ivy fainted, Cici woke up.
To her surprise, she felt refreshed and rejuvenated, as if she had gone back to her younger years. Her back no longer ached, her legs no longer felt tired, and she could breathe easily.
"Madam, you're awake!" Several housemaids exclaimed excitedly as they surrounded her.
Cici felt something was off and incredulously asked, "Didn't I just faint? Who saved me? How did they do it?"
One of the housemaids said, "No one saved you, Madam. You woke up by yourself. As the saying goes, good luck comes to those who deserve it. You didn't faint earlier, you just took a nap!"
"Is that so?" Cici half-believed.
Looking at Ivy, who had passed out on the ground, she asked with a serious expression, "What happened to her? What's wrong with Ivy?"
The maid who had pushed Ivy down replied, "After you fainted, she placed her hand on your chest, trying to feel your heartbeat, wanting to seize your inheritance. I was angry and pushed her away!"
Adding with a self-congratulatory tone, she said, "Luckily, I pushed her away in time, otherwise you wouldn't have woken up now! Hmph, she's not carrying the Donald family's child but wants to claim the Donald family's fortune. What a dream!"
Cici glared fiercely at the maid and pondered seriously.
Recalling carefully, just a few seconds ago, a miraculous force flowed continuously into her heart, like a spring or a warm stream. After that strange force rushed into her heart, she felt her whole body's blood and energy flow smoothly. It was as if she had taken a miraculous pill, and she woke up effortlessly.
The maid had just said that Ivy put her hand on her chest.
So, that extraordinary force was transmitted to her through Ivy's palm.
It was Ivy who saved her and cured her overall ailments!
Ivy was indeed not an ordinary person! She could bring someone back to life and even reverse aging.
She wasn't a demon but a rare treasure in the mortal world!
"Ivy!" Cici immediately rushed to Ivy's side and gratefully helped her up.
Just because of this action, everyone was surprised to see that Cici was able to walk without a cane and move agilely like a young person!
The maid who pushed Ivy down said resentfully, "Madam, why do you care about this woman? The child in her belly is not a descendant of the Donald family, yet she still wants to claim the Donald family's fortune!"
Ignoring her as if she hadn't heard, Cici handed Ivy to a bodyguard and solemnly said, "Take Ivy to my bed and take care of her, ensuring she doesn't suffer the slightest harm!"
Then, filled with righteous anger, she marched up to the maid who had been speaking.
"Slap—"
She slapped her forcefully.
"You get out of here! Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to shout and scream at the esteemed person of the Donald family?"
No one expected Cici, who was in her twilight years, who had almost passed out moments ago, to possess such great strength in the blink of an eye. With one slap, she knocked the maid down to the ground.
The maid on the ground got up, looking very aggrieved, and said, "Madam, aren't you supposed to be old?"
"Confused? I have been working for the Donald family for over ten years! That woman has malicious intentions, she wants you dead and wants to inherit your assets. I defended you, but you scolded me?"
"Smack!" Another slap.
The maid was knocked down again.
With an angry expression, Cici said, "You're the one with malicious intentions. It's you who wants me dead, and it's you who wants to inherit my assets! Ivy's husband is the heir to the Ashford family conglomerate, the wealthiest person in the world. Would he care about my small inheritance?
Earlier, she placed her hand on my chest and used her special ability to heal me. She cured all of my illnesses, restored my youthfulness, and I don't even need a walking cane anymore. Can't you see? Are you blind?"
