No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1201

Noelle's mood soured the moment she spotted Ivy approaching. Her tone turned cold as she spoke, "Ms. Sterling, please step aside."

Ivy's expression carried a hint of embarrassment as she took a step back. "I didn't mean anything by it. I just heard Dr. Liddell saved Mia, and I thought he was amazing. So, I came to thank him personally."

As she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on Carl.

Carl's voice was equally frigid. "I only did it for my sister."

"I understand that completely, but I still wanted to thank you," Ivy replied.

"It's not necessary." Carl's attitude toward Ivy remained utterly cold. Then, he walked straight into the ICU without another word.

Ivy watched his retreating figure, a flash of coldness appearing in her eyes. Her plan had been going so well until it was suddenly disrupted, and she could not help but wonder who Carl was.

Alfred looked at Noelle with concern. "Nelly, come with me for a moment. There's something I need to tell you."

Noelle followed Alfred to a corner, making sure Ivy couldn't overhear their conversation. It was only then that she asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Alfred lowered his voice, saying, "Eugene's people discovered last night that the car accident was intentional."

Noelle's eyes instantly widened in shock. "Intentional? Did they find out who did it?"

"There are no leads yet, but Ced has already sent people to investigate in private. It's suspicious that all these things are happening suddenly," Alfred replied.

Noelle frowned deeply, whispering, "I have this terrible feeling, but I can't put my finger on it." She felt like some conspiracy was gradually closing in on them, but they had no idea what was behind it.

Alfred mumbled, "How did Mia suddenly get dragged into this mess?"

"After going through so much, I can't keep being naive like before, can I?" Noelle chuckled. Then, she turned and walked back toward the ICU.

Ivy approached her again. "Ms. Liddell, what method did Dr. Liddell use to save Mia?"

"I'm not really sure about the specifics. After all, that's his expertise, and it wouldn't be appropriate to discuss it." Noelle studied Ivy carefully and asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where's Eason? Why didn't he join you?"

"He's been feeling a bit under the weather these past couple of days and has been resting at home. Once he feels better, I'll bring him to visit Mia," Ivy quickly explained.

Noelle smirked. "It's just a little cold, and he can't even get out of bed? I guess his feelings for Mia aren't that strong after all."

Ivy hurried to explain, "Ms. Liddell, you've got it wrong. Eason has always had a weak constitution since childhood. Even though it's just a small cold, it could become serious if we're not careful."
