Chapter 767: No More Marriage, Never Again

Early the next morning, Ivan woke up with a splitting headache. As he sat up, he felt completely devoid of energy.

The events of last night were fragmented in his memory, nothing comprehensive. He sat on the bed for a while, easing himself, before finally throwing off the covers and getting out of bed.

"You woke up so early. I have reason to suspect you were faking being drunk last night," a cold voice sounded as Ivan stepped out.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ivan turned around and looked, "You brought me back last night?"

Zane glanced at him, "Who else?"

Ivan remembered clearly that Zane was the one who brought him back last night, even though his memory of the events was hazy. But Zane's words about using him to clean the floor, Ivan remembered that.

"I thought it was Yanis who brought me back," Ivan said casually. Zane glanced at him indifferently, "If you're still not sober, I don't mind if you go back to sleep and come out when you're awake."

After saying that, Zane walked towards the dining room.

Ivan watched Zane's retreating figure and chuckled softly, "Well, maybe I really didn't wake up."

Just as he was speaking, Auntie came over, "Mr. Baxter, you're awake."

Ivan nodded upon hearing Auntie's voice.

"Mr. Baxter, here are your toiletries. You can freshen up, and breakfast will be ready shortly." Auntie handed him the toiletries.

Ivan took them with a thanks and returned to his room to freshen up quickly.

When he came out, Auntie had already prepared breakfast.

Ivan didn't waste time with pleasantries and sat directly across from Zane, saying, "Thanks for last night."

"I heard you ran away from home?" Zane lifted his gaze and looked at him.

Ivan raised an eyebrow at his words, "You're quite well-informed. I haven't even left home yet, and you already know?"

Zane glanced at him, "Then you can go back after eating."

Ivan didn't respond to Zane's comment and simply picked up the bowl in front of him and started eating his porridge. Zane didn't say much either.

"Mr. Lawrence, everything is ready." Auntie brought out a large thermos and placed it on the table.

Zane acknowledged, "Leave it there."

Ivan glanced at the thermos, "Going to the hospital?"

Zane nodded, "Yanis stayed at the hospital last night."

Ivan finished his porridge in a few mouthfuls, "I'll go with you."

Saying that, Ivan stood up, "Let me change my clothes first, right away."

"Your clothes got dirty last night, and Auntie hasn't had a chance to wash them. Are you sure you want to change back into them?" Zane's words made Ivan pause and turn to face him, "Well... can I borrow your clothes for now? I'll return them later."

"Just wear them and go," Zane interrupted.

When they arrived at the hospital, Ivan immediately spotted Madison and Mila stepping out of another car.

Instinctively, Ivan's steps faltered as he frowned and looked over.

Madison, with a hint of anger, walked towards the entrance while Mila tried to persuade her. However, Madison pushed Mila aside and entered the hospital lobby directly.

"Zane!" Ivan called out upon seeing the situation. "Hurry to the ward."

Not noticing Madison and the others, Zane turned to Ivan, puzzled. "What?"

"My mom went up. Probably to replace Yanis," Ivan straightforwardly explained, not beating around the bush anymore.

After hearing Ivan's words, Zane glanced at him, then turned and quickly strode into the hospital.

Meanwhile, Ivan entered the hospital lobby from another entrance.

Madison should only know that Yanis is in the hospital but doesn't know the specific floor or room. So when Ivan entered the lobby, he immediately spotted Madison standing at the information desk, interrogating the medical staff with a frantic demeanor.

In Ivan's memory, even though Madison was assertive, she had always been a poised and well-mannered person. However, seeing her current behavior, Ivan felt like he was looking at a stranger, devoid of any familiarity.

"Aunt, please calm down. If Ivan replaces out you came to look for Miss Thompson, he will definitely be upset. Besides, wherever Ivan is, he won't tell Miss Thompson," Mila intervened, trying to reason with Madison, but she clearly wasn't listening.

"Mila, are you speaking up for Yanis?" Madison glared at Mila. "Aunt, Miss Thompson and Ivan are just friends. They won't have any romantic involvement. Don't you know what kind of person Ivan is? Do you think he would ruin someone else's relationship?"

"Ivan definitely wouldn't, but what about Yanis? As long as she's around Ivan, he won't be able to focus on marrying you," Mila countered.

"You're right, but even without Yanis, I don't plan to get married!" Ivan stepped forward, taking over the conversation.

Upon hearing Ivan's words, Mila looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Ivan..."

Ignoring Mila, Ivan looked at Madison and said, "Since you think I won't be able to focus on marriage, then I won't. I won't marry Mila or anyone else from now on. Are you satisfied?" Madison stared at Ivan in disbelief. "What did you say?"

"I said I won't get married. Not to Mila or anyone else," Ivan repeated his previous words verbatim.

Madison's hand shot up, delivering a slap to Ivan's face. His face turned to the side from the impact, but he didn't back down. "If you still want to create a scene here, then go ahead. But if you cause trouble for Yanis again, then this will be how we live our lives."

Leaving those words behind, Ivan didn't wait for Madison's response. He turned around and left.

"Ivan!" Mila called out as she watched Ivan's retreating figure, but he didn't stop and continued walking out.

Mila looked at Madison, sighed, and then followed after Ivan.

Yanis and Zane came down and witnessed the scene unfold before them.

Yanis furrowed her brows slightly. She didn't expect Madison to become so obstinate.

She was genuinely curious. Just how much influence did she have on Madison to make her so guarded against her?

Watching Ivan leave, Yanis walked towards Madison.

"Yanis," Zane reached out and grabbed her wrist, looking at her with concern.
