The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2361

"Excuse me, I'm having some trouble with my ankle. Could you please call an ambulance for me?"

The woman, startled out of her wits, finally snapped back to reality under Ivy's insistent urging.

"Oh, sure, darn it, what rotten luck. Just went out for a bite to eat and now this happens."

After she made the call for an ambulance, she hurried away from the scene as fast as she could.

The restaurant manager, hearing the commotion, asked a female staff to make sure the coast was clear before rushing in.

"What's the situation? They've been gone way too long; why aren't they back yet?"

Nolan was getting worried.

The relationship between Ivy and Mara was murky at best, and Nolan thought he had picked up on some serious bad blood between them.

But he hadn't expected Mara to actually call out for Ivy, which he found rather odd.

"Something’s gone down near the restrooms. I'm going to check it out."

Balfour saw a few people rushing in that direction and couldn't sit still any longer.

Nolan called out from behind, "I'm coming too."

"Ms. Lewis, can you hear us? Ms. Lewis, if you can hear me, blink your eyes, please."

The restaurant manager knelt beside Mara, calling her name repeatedly. They were unsure where exactly she had hit her head and didn't dare move her carelessly.

Ivy was panicked, with a dread she couldn't quite name.

She had only meant to shake off Mara’s hand, in no way could that have caused her to fall so hard.
