Chapter 411 I''ll Take Good Care Of Collin


    Ivy let out a deep sigh, her gaze settling on Collin. "I can''t shake off the guilt. Back then, I failed to protect him. He was set up, caught in a car ident, and I could do nothing to stop it. Later, to protect himself-and to keep me from getting involved–he spent years pretending to be disabled. All of it happened because I


    was


    powerless."


    Collin, already ufortable with the conversation drifting toward his past embarrassments, stiffened the moment Ivy med herself. A frown creased his forehead. “Grandma, you can''t think that way. None of it was your fault. Please don''t say that."


    Linsey''s expression grew solemn, her fingers absentmindedly tracing the edge of the photo album.


    But Ivy still looked troubled. "I''ve always felt I failed him," she admitted. "That''s why I''ve wanted him to settle down, to have a family of his own. He''s been through too much. As his grandmother, thest thing I want is for him to go through life alone."


    A gentle smile touched her lips as she turned to Linsey and took her hand warmly. "Thankfully, fate must have finally listened to my prayers and brought you into his life. I couldn''t have asked for a better granddaughter-in


    w."


    The sincerity in Ivy''s voice didn''t go unnoticed. Linsey met her gaze with quiet determination. "Ivy, I promise you-I''ll take good care of Collin."


    Ivy and Linsey finished flipping through the thick photo album.


    Hours passed as Ivy and Linsey continued talking, their connection deepening with every shared memory and


    conversation.


    Collin, watching them from the side, realized with some amusement that he had been entirely left out.


    As night deepened, Linsey suddenly recalled something and turned to the servant. "Prepare the guest room upstairs. It has a great view and a balcony. Ivy will love it."


    Before the servant could acknowledge the request, Ivy gently waved a hand. "That won''t be necessary. I won''t be staying here. I''ll be heading to the Grester Nursing Hometer tonight."


    Her words caught both Linsey and Collin off guard.


    Linsey''s brows knitted together. "Ivy, why? You''re home now. Why would you go to a nursing home instead?"


    Collin, just as unwilling to ept it, immediately spoke up. "Grandma, no matter howfortable the nursing home is, it can''tpare to being here with family. Let the servants handle the room. It''ll be ready in no time."


    Ivy''s heart warmed at their sincerity, but her decision remained unchanged. "I appreciate the thought, but

    everything has already been arranged. Before I came back, I made ns to stay there. My amodations are


    set."


    She paused briefly, then shed them both a yful smile. "Besides, I wouldn''t want to disrupt your married life. I think I''d much rather go to the nursing home, meet new people, and enjoy my time there."


    No matter how much the couple tried to convince her, Ivy remained firm in her decision to stay at the nursing


    home.


    With no other choice, Collin and Linsey eventually relented, though both silently hoped they could find a way to bring her back hometer.


    Not long after, Ivy left.


    That night, even after settling into bed, Linsey couldn''t shake the lingering sense of reluctance.


    Turning to Collin, she murmured, "Honey, I really like Ivy. We should visit her often at the nursing home. I want to make sure she''s happy."


    Collin watched her, amusement flickering in his eyes. He couldn''t help but smile at how earnestly she was already nning visits.


    Without a word, he pulled her into his arms, wrapping an arm securely around her waist.


    His warm breath brushed against her ear, sending an unexpected shiver down her spine.


    Suspicion crept into her expression as she instinctively leaned away. A faint flush crept up her cheeks. "What are you up to?"
