The Billionaire’s Regret

Late in the night.

Sebastian

sat on the sofa outside Ivy's room.

Wyatt sat quietly next to Ivy's bed, staring at her changing expression in her sleep, which alternated between nervous, scared, and calm.

He didn't feel sleepy at all; he just felt heartbroken.

Ivy put on a brave face, but it was clear that she was traumatized and in pain. It was a quiet night.

Ivy grunted and blinked open her eyes in a daze. "Water..." she murmured.

A cup of warm water was soon handed to her, along with a straw placed right at her lips.

Ivy satiated her thirst and regained consciousness. When she noticed Wyatt, she opened her mouth to speak. Wyatt moved in closer to hear what she was saying. "Wyatt..." She addressed him by name.

Wyatt's heart beat softly. It was soft and warm. She hadn't called him in a long time.

"Ivy, what do you need?" His voice sounded so gentle in the late-night darkness.

Ivy was only half-awake. "Wyatt, get out," she said, her voice weak.

She then passed out because she didn't have the strength to say anything else. Naturally, she overlooked Wyatt's expression after hearing those words.

His eyes, which had been bright for a brief moment, had quickly become dull and despondent.

Little by little, the tenderness on his face shattered. For a long time, the silence drowned out the darkness, and the entire room was shrouded in gloom and depression. Wyatt reached out his hand and stroked Ivy's hair slowly. "Okay," he said, his voice raspy and low.

AFTER TWO DAYS.

The cruise ship arrived. Sebastian and Ryan escorted Ivy onto a private helicopter that flew straight to New York City.

Leo Morgan had been sick with worry about his daughter for several days. He needed to see for himself that she was fine before he could be confident.

The helicopter landed on the top floor helipad of the hospital.

Ivy's wounds healed quickly. Thanks to the best doctors, equipment, and care.

Many people were unaware that Ivy had returned safely.

Except for the Morgan family and the doctors, no one came to disturb Ivy during this time.

Leo Morgan did not intend to announce Ivy's return and kept the news hidden to allow Ivy to rest properly.

Every day, the psychiatrist came to check on Ivy's progress.

Ivy possessed exceptional mental fortitude. Her psychological defenses did not crumble, and her mental state continued to improve.

Ryan returned to the lab during this time to continue his secret research.

Every day, Cooper rushed between the hospital and the office. Despite this, he was cheerful and not tired.

Everyone in the office felt the change in atmosphere.

Cooper had previously been immersed in the sorrow and pain of Ivy's death, which had resulted in such a dense and dreary atmosphere.

This seemed to lessen as Cooper began to smile more and more.

Sebastian and Leo accompanied Ivy all day as she ate, drank, and watched TV.

The superstar Sebastian was a slave to the two patients, but he was also in charge of explaining the real-life gossip of the actors in the shows they watched.

After a few days, a famous social media influencer unexpectedly posted a video of his exploits. In addition to Vince, the well-known independent explorer, another main character in this video was Ivy! This social media account had a large number of followers.

That was because Vince had a unique identity, and his attractive features made him a true homme fatale.

The most important aspect was that this account never posted any bogus videos.

The filming experience was thrilling, authentic, and always surprising.

Everyone was concerned about Vince's safety because he hadn't updated his work in nearly a month.

He unexpectedly posted his most recent work online.

It created quite a stir in just a few minutes.

Vince was a member of a primitive tribe on an Atlantic Island.

More importantly, Ivy appeared to be accompanying Vince on the adventure.

Everyone thought the woman who was in the plane crash had died, but she had actually been kept alive!

Ivy did not appear frequently in the video, but the most exciting part of the video occurred on that rainy night when the indigenous people were chasing them.

Vince had the camera strapped to his body, so he didn't appear in many of the shots.

They were out of breath as they ran for their lives. They were drenched and filthy. The camera panned to the rear. The trees swayed in the strong winds, and raindrops pelted the ground. Ivy was almost caught in a trap and was in grave danger.

Vince reached out to pull her just in time, and the two continued to run silently.

Every second seemed exhilarating. Ivy did not say anything and did not slow down her companion even after she had fallen and had scrapes all over her.

Every scene was filled with exciting and heart-stopping tension.

The audience could clearly feel the adventure's crisis through the screen.

Their lives were dangling by a thread.

Everyone was aware of their nervousness and anxiety, as well as the ups and downs of their mood.

The video ended just as they were about to meet the pirates.

Ivy's clothes were unkempt as she dashed towards the sea.

Her grimy face had such a bright smile from escaping the danger.

Her eyes were stunningly beautiful, clear, and pure. Her eyes were bright and alive, and she exuded strength.

Ivy ran towards the rising sun over the horizon after the rain in the final scene. She was giggling so cheerfully and brightly. "Ivy!" exclaimed Vince abruptly.

Ivy cast an unintentional glance back, and the video suddenly came to a halt.

The waves crashed on the shore behind her, and the sun was casting a warm glow all around. The sea breeze blew up her long hair, and the light in her eyes had not yet faded when she turned back.

In that shot, she looked radiant and stunning.

This soul-stirring scene seemed to last forever. The video, which was less than a minute long, sparked outrage on the internet almost immediately after it was posted.

The number of views increased at a rate of four digits per minute!

(Ahh! Is this what I'm seeing? Is that Ivy, the goddess?!)

(The Goddess has been reborn and has returned in splendor! She's simply stunning!)

(At long last, the least princess has returned! I'm so moved that I'm about to burst into tears of joy!)

(Welcome back to Earth, Ivy! We will always love you!)

(She's still alive! She's fully awake! So, what about the others?)

(Thank you, Vince, for resurrecting our goddess! I'm overcome with emotion right now.)

(My heart is melting because Vince referred to her as "Ivy" at the end.)

The news of Ivy's return quickly dominated major online platforms' headlines.

Countless media outlets were eager to get first-hand information.

Some people went to Vince's studio, while others went to the Morgan Building.

The outpouring of emotions in response to this uproar surpassed everyone's expectations.

Meanwhile, the main character, Ivy, was resting peacefully in the hospital, being lavished with delicious food by Sebastian.

Simba was happily wagging its tail in Leo's arms.

Until several people rushed to the hospital, none of them were aware of the chaos outside.

They were stopped outside by doctors, nurses, and bodyguards, but they were unafraid.
