One Night Bride: Master Blackwood's Substitute Wife-Chapter 785: Becoming a Vegetative State

A burst of maniacal laughter came suddenly, approaching from a distance in the opposite direction.

It was the driver, recklessly driving a logging truck, crashing towards their position!

Ivy Kensington sensed that she had been rescued by someone.

Upon hearing the noise, she desperately opened her eyes, only to see the logging truck coming their way.

"Sebastian Blackwood, watch out..."

She struggled to voice her warning.

Sebastian Blackwood, with his back to the commotion, saw her awaken and leaned closer, asking in a low voice, "What’s wrong?"

Ivy was so anxious that sweat ran down her face. She would rather be the one hit than let it be Sebastian Blackwood!

Just then, "Get out of the way!"

Leo Sherman suddenly shouted, giving Sebastian Blackwood a hard push, while he took the place where Sebastian had been holding Ivy.

The logging truck crashed right into him!

"Mr. Sherman!"

Owen Rhodes realized and shouted in panic.

He never expected that Leo Sherman would ultimately be the one to take the hit!

"Brother..."

Ivy stared in shock, wanting to reach out to Leo Sherman, but she was too weak herself. With a rush of emotions, she fainted completely.

...

"Brother, brother..."

Ivy dreamt of vast swathes of red; all that blood flowing from Leo Sherman’s body, so much that just a glance would pierce her heart.

"Ivy!"

Sharon Langley stood by her bedside and, seeing Ivy murmuring incoherently, quickly called for the doctor.

"Miss Langley, it’s nothing serious. She’s just having a nightmare and will be fine once she wakes up."

The doctor examined her and reassured Sharon Langley.

But how could Sharon Langley feel at ease!

Ivy’s body was covered in burn scars, especially her face, with a long scar running across it—so glaring!

"Claire Crowley, that wretch, should have been handed over to the police long ago!"

Sharon Langley gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Brother!"

Ivy suddenly shouted, sitting up from her hospital bed.

"Ivy, you’re awake."

Sharon Langley hurried to calm herself, walking over to support her.

The severely burned areas on her body were wrapped in bandages, while the rest were treated with exposure therapy. Sharon Langley dared not exert any force while supporting her.

Ivy stared blankly at the stark white hospital ceiling for several seconds. After a moment, she finally came to her senses, turning to Sharon Langley with a tense question: "Sharon, where’s Sebastian Blackwood? And my brother? How are they..."

"Master Blackwood is fine."

Sharon Langley vaguely answered, saying, "Rest first. Once you’re better, you can go see them." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"No."

How could Ivy agree? Before fainting, she had witnessed the logging truck crashing into Leo Sherman—how could she be at ease!

Seeing her insistence, Sharon Langley couldn’t stop her, just advised, "Ivy, be prepared."

Because Leo Sherman was already...

With that thought, Sharon Langley felt a heaviness in her heart.

Leo Sherman’s room was in the intensive care unit, and Ivy stumbled her way there.

She hadn’t yet reached the door when she heard stifled sobbing.

"Leo, please get up, you’re my only son. How can I go on if something happens to you!"

A woman in a plain long dress was collapsed at the doorway, crying to the point of breathlessness!

This was her son, even if adopted, he was her only child. Seeing him injured like this, how could she be at peace!

"Auntie Sherman."
