A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 188
He frowned when he heard that. Ivy was usually graceful and composed. Why was she so emotional today?
"How should I know?" Tan retorted.
Ivy was green with jealousy when she noticed his indifference and the wound on his lip. However, she simply started weeping,
"lan, do you remember when my mother was seriously ill? I was a wreck, and I practically begged for someone to develop a drug to cure her illness. At the time, you consoled me and said if there were such a miracle drug, you'd definitely buy it for me." Her eyes dimmed,
"Even though the drug developed by Professor Braun isn't the cure to my mother's illness, I still want to bring it to the market to fill the void in my heart."
It dawned on lan that Ivy's insistence on getting this project stemmed from her mother, Even though he couldn't remember much about what had happened when they were young, he did recall Ivy grieving for a long time after her mother passed away.
"lan, Sage doesn't necessarily need this project. You could always just find a few more profitable projects for her to work on. Can I please have the distribution rights for just this drug?" Ivy pleaded with tears in her eyes.

pharmaceutical-related projects."
Ivy understood that lan wouldn't let her be in charge of the project. Making a fuss wouldn't help. In fact, it might even make him dislike her. Hence, despite her frustration, she decided to accept his decision.
Fortunately, lan seemed a little guilty, and his demeanor softened.
lan had been keeping his distance from her ever since Sage criticized her for having no sense of boundaries and sitting too close to lan at Solaris Estate that day.
He even started addressing her as "Ms. Shekdotter" at work and only called her by her first name in private. However, he finally called her "Ivy" again that day, just like he used to in the past.

Thus, she nodded quietly, her eyes brimming with tears. "I understand."
"lan, do you regret letting me join Bolton Investment?" she asked lowly.
He looked at Ivy. "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

"It's just... I haven't accomplished much yet. I misjudged Benjamin's situation last time, too. What's more, I got injured at the party and upset Sage." Ivy lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I feel like I shouldn't have returned to Haldon, and I shouldn't have appeared in front of you..." The
