Surprised, Irene asked, "What are you doing here?""I was looking for you," Ricky replied. "But I couldn't reach you on your phone."Irene whipped out her phone, and pressed a button to find that it was out of juice and had turned itself off.Nonetheless, she said, "That would have to wait. I'm busy at the moment."However, Ricky was clearly antsy and did not even notice the confrontation right in front of him. "It's Lulu. She's—"Meanwhile, Harvey and Chad were already at each other's noses and a fight looked inevitable.Irene had to ignore Ricky just then and went up to stop Harvey, saying, "He's not worth it, and we're in a hospital."Chad, however, became buoyed since he thought that was a sign of Irene cowing. "I'm telling you, Irene Spencer, I'll have you kicked out of this hospital today," he gloated, pointing a finger at her face. "You can call me Dahc if I can't do it.""What are you talking about?" Ricky rushed up right then pointed a finger at Chad's face in retali

Irene coolly said, "Stop it—""Actually, he's right. I am in love with you, but Isaac beat me to the promised land," Harvey said with much ambiguity. Irene shot him a glare, "Har har, very funny. I'm being threatened with a lawsuit here, and might lose my job here. I can't have that, not when I upset Isaac over—"She stopped right then, realizing that she had spoken too much.Even so, Ricky quickly asked, "What? How did you upset Isaac?"Harvey's ears had pricked up as well, since he was eager to find out too. Irene grumbled, "Stop being a busybody and start thinking what to do about Whitney Cox. Oh, wait—what did you want to talk to me about?""Lulu is leaving," Ricky said. "I was thinking that you should talk her out of it."Irene, however, knew about Lulu's situation and would not do so lightly. "I need to know what's happening first." "Okay," Ricky replied. "I still hope you'd convince her to stay, though."Irene was left staring at him for a while at that, wondering w

There was no one in the bedroom.Irene blinked. Could he be in the study?Quickly closing the door, she hurried to study and opened the door… Only to find Stan, standing in front of the desk and sorting some documents.Frowning, she asked, "What are you doing here, Stan? Where's Isaac?"Mrs. Watson said, "I was going to tell you just then—Mr. Hill came, not Mr. Jefferson."Irene's face fell just then, while Stan appeared to be done and carried a stack of documents out of the study. Before he left, he offered Irene some kind advice as she stood by the door, "You should contact Mr. Jefferson if you're not busy, ma'am."Ever since Irene refused to leave the country with Isaac the other day, Isaac had been scowling, feeling constantly irritable and checking his phone constantly. He was certainly unable to put aside his pride to call Irene, and was hoping for her to do it first… But she never did.Irene was actually left speechless, because she had not exactly been idling.But i

Irene had seen the person in the photo before—she was sorting a patient's file for Stephen, and he had told her that the patient had special privilege. However, the patient's photo left an impression on her because she resembled Isaac's mother.But why did Isaac have a photo of this woman too? Was she the reason he went abroad? She spaced out as she pondered when the door suddenly opened.She looked up and found Mrs. Watson standing there, asking, "Ma'am? Sorry, I thought you were asleep, and I saw a light in here…"Irene tucked the photo inside the envelope and returned it on top of the desk. "I was asleep, and was thinking about reading a book.""I see…" Mrs. Watson replied, but she was clearly skeptical.Irene smiled. "It's true."Mrs. Watsons smiled in return. "And here I thought you can't sleep because Mr. Jefferson is away."Irene was speechless—did Mrs. Watson read her mind?Simply plucking a book without really looking, she started to leave. "You should turn in, Mrs

Irene narrowed her eyes and asked coolly, "What is it?"Quincy was already a dead woman walking, and naturally did not mind that others heard whatever she was about to say.Grinning, she said, "Yes, I was the one who had Isaac's parents murdered, and if he had not offered evidence to the court and pulled strings behind the scenes, I wouldn't have been sentenced to be executed, and so quickly at that. However, I don't regret anything I've done, so why don't you ask Isaac—even if he killed me, does that bring his parents back?""So that's why he said you're heinous." Irene gave her a cool look. "You should have known that what goes around comes around.Quincy snorted in disdain. "Yes, but you see—I've done so many terrible things to Isaac, and yet I've gotten off scot-free for years. Even if he did manage to kill me, he's just a poor orphan! Poor boy… Haha!"It was the first time Irene met someone as repulsive as Quincy, and her hands balled into fist as she glared at her. "Go to he

Stephen said, "Don't ask. Just get back to work—oh, right, I have arranged a surgery for you, so start prepping. I'll be bringing you to meet the patient soon."Irene, however, was still confused as to how the drama with Whitney suddenly became inconsequential, and so asked, "How was the matter resolved?""I'm not going to tell you, so don't ask. Look—I trust you, Chief trusts you, and that's that. Just don't worry and continue working under me."Since Stephen made himself very clear, Irene decided not to ask. "Alright. I'll prepare for the surgery now."Stephen smiled. "Good."…Harvey came looking for Irene during lunch break, and asked worriedly, "What's going on? Why did Whitney Cox leave the hospital already?"Irene told him. "It somehow got resolved.""How?" Harvey pressed. Irene shrugged. "Beats me."Harvey was left speechless for a moment, and grumbled, "Well, your hospital is quite impressive… to think that I don't even get to show my party trick. Won't hurt to tell

Unlike with Harvey, Irene sounded apologetic this time. "What brought you here, Lulu? Ricky told me that you're leaving, but I was too busy although I wanted to check on you."Lulu's eyes were unfocused and swollen, and she rasped, "Irene…"Irene felt her chest tighten when she got a good look at Lulu's face. "What's wrong?""Zachary cheated on me," she said, choking with tears just then.Irene promptly put a hand around her shoulder. "Let's talk elsewhere."It was a chance for Harvey to be helpful, and he naturally took it. "I know a place where you won't be disturbed, and you could get a few drinks there as well."Irene was concerned about Lulu, and gave him a brief look before saying, "Fine. Take us there.""Alright." Harvey promptly ran off to get his car, while Irene kept her hand around Lulu even as they got in.…Soon, they arrived at an exclusive nightclub, where Harvey had a private box reserved all year round. After Irene brought Lulu inside, Harvey started to foll

Lulu asked, "Does it matter?""Of course it does," Irene said. "If Mrs. Slate was the reason Zachary got in bed with that woman, it means it was against his consent—that he didn't mean to cheat on you."Lulu breathed a long sigh. "Doesn't matter now. Even if he wasn't willing, she's pregnant with his child. Do you think he'd demand that she get an abortion?"Iren became silent—Lulu was right. With the other woman being pregnant with Zachary's child while also being Mrs. Slate first choice for Zachary's fiancee, Mrs. Slate would definitely urge them to tie the knot soon."But what about you?" Irene asked.Lulu turned to look elsewhere, but her gaze was unfocused. After a long silence, she finally said, "Maybe we're destined to never be together. It's as if fate wants to keep us separate even after all that we've been through—we're never getting back together."As Irene sighed, Lulu wiped her face firmly and said, "Drink with me, Irene. I'll still be me after tonight, but no mo
