Chapter 85: Ivy! Ivy!

"Jeremy wants a divorce." Ivy's voice was steady, but the weight of her words filled the room. She sank into the chair beside her mother’s bed, exhaustion lining her face. They had just returned from the hospital—Mrs. Bennett needed to rest before her next chemo cycle.

"What?!" Mrs. Bennett’s voice came out weak, yet the shock was evident in her expression.

Ivy simply shrugged. "It’s Isla. Again," she muttered, and the confusion on her mother’s face deepened.

"What do you mean? What does Isla have to do with this?"

Ivy scoffed. "If they hadn’t seen each other the day before, divorce wouldn’t even be on Jeremy’s mind. He claims they’re still in love, and apparently, she feels the same."

Mrs. Bennett shook her head in disbelief. "That’s impossible. It doesn’t add up. Isla has a boyfriend—things are serious between them. I don’t believe she would say something like that to Jeremy. He must have misunderstood."
