Chapter 720: Targeted
Meanwhile, while Ivy was still recovering, Moona and Maxi were facing problems of their own.
Recently, both sisters had started developing an odd feeling, as though someone invisible was constantly watching them from the shadows.
At first, they repeatedly convinced themselves that they were merely overthinking things.
Eventually, they forcefully suppressed their suspicions, especially after hearing the news that Ivy had finally recovered.
The news instantly eased a great burden from their hearts.
After all, aside from Ivy, there were almost no people toward whom they felt genuine closeness.
As the two sisters discussed whether they should visit Ivy soon, they suddenly received an invitation letter.
At first glance, neither of them intended to pay any attention to it. However, once they opened the letter and read its contents, both of them froze.
The message inside stated that the sender possessed an antidote capable of helping Ivy recover much faster.
The moment Moona and Maxi saw those words, hesitation immediately appeared in their eyes.
After hesitating for quite some time, the sisters eventually decided to seek advice first.
Originally, they wanted to look for Felix since he was one of the major connections tied to the family.
Unfortunately, Felix was currently busy staying at Annie’s house and could not be disturbed.
Left with no alternative, they instead went to Martha.
The moment Martha finished reading the letter, her expression immediately darkened.
There was no joy or excitement on her face whatsoever. Instead, her eyes became cold and grim.
She slowly lifted her gaze toward Muna and Maxi before saying in a heavy voice, "Both of you are being targeted."
The sisters were instantly stunned.
Meanwhile, Ivy had already spent around five days recovering before finally leaving the temporal storage completely.
The moment she returned, she immediately became the center of everyone’s attention within the family.
Every single person pampered her endlessly.
Whenever Ivy casually mentioned craving something, someone would immediately prepare it for her.
Helena constantly asked her what she wanted to eat, while Ember enthusiastically volunteered to massage Ivy’s body to help ease the lingering soreness and weakness.
However, that responsibility was quickly taken away from Ember because she had only recently given birth herself.
No one allowed Ivy to perform any strenuous activity whatsoever.
The family practically treated her like fragile glass, carefully ensuring that her recovery process went smoothly.
Meanwhile, her mother-in-law and father-in-law visited her almost every single day. Alice especially worried over Ivy to an almost excessive degree.
If not for the fact that Ivy and Silas already lived in the same building as them, Alice might have genuinely moved her belongings directly into their apartment just so she could personally monitor Ivy’s recovery twenty-four hours a day.
After learning that Ivy was struggling to walk properly, Alice had even seriously considered buying her an advanced mechanical wheelchair so Ivy could move around more comfortably without exhausting herself.
Fortunately, after some more time passed, Ivy gradually regained enough strength to walk normally again.
However, before fully leaving the temporal storage, it had warned her seriously that some lingering side effects might still remain.
Ivy naturally understood.
"I will take proper care of my body," she promised calmly. "I will make sure these side effects do not become permanent."
The temporal storage even recommended several remedies she should consistently use during her recovery.
Because of that, Ivy ended up forcing herself to drink honey water every single day despite absolutely hating the taste of it.
Silas personally supervised the entire process.
No matter how much Ivy protested, he made sure she took every single remedy seriously.
Soon, the two of them gradually fell into a peaceful rhythm together.
Every morning, Silas prepared breakfast personally. He also cooked lunch and dinner himself most of the time. Unless absolutely necessary, he rarely even went outside anymore.
It almost felt as though the two of them had isolated themselves from the rest of the world.
Most days, they simply lay together on the sofa while quietly watching television.
Since many countries had finally regained partial stability and mobility restrictions were slowly being lifted, television channels had fully resumed broadcasting.
Reporters once again appeared everywhere, covering events endlessly.
The world had changed completely.
Zombies had become an undeniable reality acknowledged by everyone. Meanwhile, the price of gold continued rising to absurd levels daily.
At this point, both Silas and Ivy could practically be considered billionaire-level figures.
Because of that, there was hardly anything financially capable of troubling them anymore.
Now that there were no immediate zombie crises demanding their full attention, Silas mostly handled military matters remotely from home.
As for Ivy’s work, Martha temporarily took over a significant portion of it alongside the army. Helena, Ember, Alice, Dante, Victor, and Kael all contributed as well, dividing the responsibilities among themselves.
However, during this process, everyone finally realized something shocking.
The amount of work Ivy had previously been handling alone actually required six or seven people working together to manage properly.
Only then did they understand why she had always been so overwhelmingly busy.
She truly had been carrying the workload of several people entirely by herself.
Meanwhile, Ivy herself was finally enjoying an unbelievably leisurely lifestyle for once.
However, beneath all that calmness, hatred still quietly brewed inside her heart.
Every single time she remembered those superior beings, the rage inside her chest reignited violently.
She still wanted revenge.Especially Silas.
Long before Ivy had fully recovered, he had already secretly dispatched spies to search for traces of those superior beings.
Eventually, they finally managed to uncover a lead regarding their whereabouts.
However, Silas deliberately hid that information from Ivy.
Even though Ivy carefully concealed her hatred beneath a calm exterior, he knew her far too well.
He understood that the moment she discovered where those people were, she would throw herself into danger without hesitation.
However, while the two of them were quietly talking inside the living room that afternoon, Ivy suddenly narrowed her gaze when Martha hurriedly entered the apartment with an unusually serious expression.
"What happened?" Ivy asked calmly.
