The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2277

Elara felt a blush of embarrassment as she admitted, "I did minor in psychology back in college, but at best, I can offer some advice. For a proper diagnosis, you really should seek out a professional therapist. It would be beneficial for both you and your wife.

Especially, I think you need to carve out more time to be with her. You might not realize it, but she always seems more at ease when you're around."

So, despite their constant bickering, Ivy was actually more relaxed when he was there?

"Bickering can be her way of opening up," Elara pointed out timely. "Shutting people out, that's the real concern."

Had it not been for her previous interactions with Ivy, Elara might have kept her opinions to herself. But she could not bear to see such a vibrant actress reduced to silence and solitude.

As one of Ivy's many fans, Elara had let go of the hope of seeing her back on the silver screen, wishing, instead, for her to be healthy and well.

When Ivy first woke up, Elara had joked about getting her to sign autographs for the many fans in the hospital. Seeing her current state, Elara's heart ached.

But their sympathy as fans was of little use; this man's concern was the only thing that might provide Ivy with the companionship she needed.

After hearing Elara's words, Balfour stood silently for a moment before softly pushing the door to Ivy's ward open.

He lingered in the darkness, never having imagined the magnitude of stress Ivy was under. What was she thinking about when left alone?

He had only ever insisted that Ivy not return to the set, never considering that it was an important choice for her, too.
