Just as Ivy had expected, as soon Noah left the room, all the people around her surrounded her, ready to fire their questions at her. Their curiosity knew no bounds, and Ivy saw the suspicion in their eyes. Seeing their countenance, she was sure that they would not let her go until they got the answers they needed. But how was she supposed to answer them when she herself was not prepared with an answer for them?

Ivy closed her eyes, hoping for someone to get her out of her predicament. No sooner did she wish for a miracle, her prayers were answered in the form of a phone call. Her phone rang, and Ivy immediately sprang to her feet, sighing in relief and thanking the caller for their incredible timing.

She sent an apologetic smile at her colleagues before she ran out of the room. "Thank you so much, Ari. You saved me in time. Otherwise, I would have been dead meat by now."

Aria giggled softly at her words, already knowing the reason why Ivy was thanking her. Noah had informed her about what he had done, and even before he could continue and ask her to praise him, Aria had ended her call with him to save her sister from the trouble Noah had pushed her into. Her impeccable timing had saved her sister on time, and Aria could not help but compliment herself for her quick thinking.

"Aria, I am going to kill your boyfriend and I don\'t care if you are going to hate me for it. He is annoying as hell." Ivy mumbled as she walked further away from the meeting room. She smiled at one of her new colleagues who walked past her.

Ivy did not stop walking until she was in front of the window that overlooked the other buildings. Even though her new agency was not a skyscraper, she still could see small buildings and cafes from where she was. 

"Do you want my help? I can help you kill him." Aria offered, and Ivy chuckled lightly at her sass. 

"What did he do to you? He is your boyfriend, sister." 

"Let\'s just say he is a little irritating at times." Aria\'s reply did not surprise Ivy, and she nodded in agreement. "And not to say extremely devilish."

"Why Aria? Does he always look for ways to get to you eat you alive?" Ivy teased as she twirled her hair in her fingers.

"Yes. He is a beast in bed. You have no idea, Ivy." Aria did not hide the truth, startling Ivy for a moment. She had not expected her to agree to her words. But soon, a smirk replaced her shock and she coughed lightly.

"I see. Aria, what do you think would happen if Noah were to listen to what you have told me?"

"Let\'s just say if that were to happen, I will join him next time to bully you more." This shut Ivy up, and she pouted in frustration.

"This is not fair. You are joining hands with your boyfriend to bully me. Wait, then I will too do the same. Joshua will seek revenge on my behalf." Ivy threatened her, and Aria could not help but laugh at her words.

"Sure, sure, sure. I will be waiting. Anyway, I have called you to discuss another matter with you." Aria turned serious at once, and Ivy frowned at her sudden shift in tone. "Do you know anyone by the name Linda?"

As soon as Aria took the girl\'s name, Ivy\'s frown deepened. Her eyes turned solemn. As far as she recalled, she had never mentioned the girl\'s name or her real name to her sister. How did she find out about Linda? Ivy wondered.

"From your silence, I presume you know her. Do you mind coming down to the hospital? She was admitted today, and apparently, she tried to commit suicide or that was what the prison guards told us. But the signs and marks show something else. Someone must have tried to kill her. It was she who asked me to contact you."

"How did you know about her? Did she ask for you specifically or were you her doctor?" Ivy was in disbelief to think that someone tried to kill Linda right on the day she had thought of approaching her for an interview. How coincidental was this!

"Yes, she did. Stuart was her attending doctor. But she asked specifically for me. How does she even know me?" This question had been bugging Aria\'s mind for a long time. Even though Ivy was a journalist, her background and other details were thoroughly hidden by Maggie. So, it was impossible for anyone to find out about her family. It was shocking to think that Linda knew about her when Ivy would never bring her family into her work.

"Aria, something is wrong here. I have a nagging feeling about this, though I am not sure about it. I will be at the hospital in a while. Wait for me. That girl is serious trouble." Ivy warned, her mind trying to conjure what Linda\'s plan maybe but she could not come up with anything.

\'How did Linda know about Aria and her relationship with me? Wasn\'t she in the prison all these days? How was she was able to find out about Aria?\' Ivy thought to herself. \'Unless someone specifically sent her to the hospital to get to us.\' As soon as the thought entered Ivy\'s mind, her eyes widened in fear. She shuddered visibly and suddenly had a horrible premonition about all of these.

"Aria, listen to me and listen to me carefully." Ivy\'s tone switched suddenly that Aria too felt it. She raised her eyebrows subtly. "Irrespective of what happens, please don\'t go to her ward alone. Take Ian or Stuart or anyone you trust with you. I do not know what Linda\'s intentions are, and it is impossible for her to know about you and me unless someone who knows us has told her. Please be careful until I arrive."

Though Aria did not know what was happening, she sensed the urgency in her voice. It was anything but she had heard from her before, and she realized how serious the situation was. "Okay, Ivy. I will do as you say. I will wait for you."

"Great, I will be there shortly." Ivy ended the call at once. Even though Aria had assured her, she was not convinced. Not wanting to risk her sister\'s life, she called Ian the next instant.

"Ian, where are you?" As soon as her call connected, she fired her question, completely skipping her greeting.

"Well, hello to you too. I am at the hospital right now. Why do you ask, Ivy?" Ian had just returned to his office after going on rounds when he had received Ivy\'s call. He did not miss the seriousness and worry in her tone, and he wondered what had got her all riled up and anxious.

"Great. You might have heard of the new patient, Linda. She was admitted on the pretext that she tried to commit suicide in prison." 

"I have heard about her. Is something the matter, Ivy?" Ian\'s face scrunched up in confusion, wondering where this was going.

"Yes, I have no idea how but she knows about Aria being my sister when not many people know about it. Please make sure Aria is safe. I don\'t know what Linda is playing at but she sounds of danger." Ivy blabbered, and she swallowed some of her words in fear. But Ian understood what she was trying to convey. Just like Ivy and Aria, he too was now stunned to learn that there was some foul play happening here.

"Ivy, I will take care of Aria. Please don\'t worry. Until you arrive, I will try to find what the girl\'s intentions are." Ian\'s eyes narrowed dangerously as he enunciated his words clearly. 

"Thanks, Ian. I will be there shortly."

Although he did know the story behind Linda, it did not take him long to realize that whatever it was was not pleasant, and someone out there was trying to use Linda to get to Ivy and Aria. He clenched his fists and the next moment, he rushed out of his office towards the direction where Linda was.. He now had a task at hand, and he had to find out what Linda wanted of the twins.
