Isaac leaned in and gathered Irene tightly in his arms. "Let's go home when you're better, Irene. Tommy is waiting."Irene was taken aback even as an ominous feeling seized her. "Why are you being evasive?" she rasped."I…" Isaac simply could not bring himself to tell her that their child was lost, and he was perfectly aware that she would feel even more miserable than he did. After all, it grew inside her body… "L-Look, I know things looked bad, but I'm already eight months in. The child could have survived even if it came prematurely!"Her voice was choking with tears even as she tried to keep it together. "You can't tell me that we lost our child… I won't believe you!""I don't believe it either…" Isaac whispered even as he brushed his cheek against hers.There was wetness over their skin, but there was no telling whose tears it was.Nonetheless, Isaac had said enough—their child was gone, and Irene's body trembled with agitation while her face turned pale."You said

Isaac hung his head. His hand, bleeding from his joints, dangled limply at his side.He suddenly looked up.Their child.Their child was the reason Irene was bleeding now.She was a doctor, and she claimed that their child was fine. Could there be a mistake?He had been too preoccupied with Irene's safety to notice, but at eight months, their child would be fully developed.But the doctors never showed him a thing.And he would see it—dead or alive!He whipped out his phone and called Sammy. "I need a favor…"…Back at Zidonia, Ember found herself naked on a large bed within a hotel room, with her body covered with hickies.She rubbed her temples firmly to figure out what was wrong.She then remembered receiving a text from Zachary, asking her out on a date at a bar. It was rare for him to ask her out, so she dressed up especially for the occasion.However, Zachary was not around when she arrived, though a man came up to her, asking, "Are you waiting for Zachary?""Yes…

Ember was certainly quick-witted.But although she managed to guess that someone had set her up in such a short time, she could not think of anyone who would do this to her."Just put on your clothes and leave!" Zachary snapped right then and turned to leave.Ember quickly caught him. "Listen to me, Zachary. I was set up—""Do I look like I give a damn?" Zachary's eyes were cold even as he watched her—he simply could not get a read on her.There were times when she was nice enough, but she was otherwise horrific!"Are you going to divorce me?" Ember asked—no man could stand being a cuck after all.Zachary held her faze for a moment and said, "Tell me where Lulu is and I won't."A realization dawned on Ember right then and she released Zachary, stumbling backward."You were being nice to me… because of her?""Yes." Zachary did not deny it, and Ember was left shaking with rage.So it was all feigned sincerity—she was just dumb enough to believe that he would fall for her!H

That was certainly the case, but Debbie still had other concerns. [James Cross may be a vegetable now, but there's still a chance that he will recover.][The answer is still no. If you so much as lay a finger on him, Isaac Jefferson will know everything.]Debbie was certainly unhappy with that arrangement, but she could not find out anything about the mysterious person, and their ID was untrackable.As such, she was subject to their whims.[Understood.]…Although Minerva was not Isaac's domain, he managed to gather all security footage from Flanley Hospital through Sammy's influence, along with information of all the doctors and medical staff involved in Irene's surgery.However, there was nothing suspicious on video, and the records detailed that the child was taken out by C-section but was not breathing even after resuscitation.After that, the body was placed at the morgue, and the hospital administration said that they were allowed access any time.Everything seemed cut

"I'll check if the remains have been cremated." The head nurse picked up a phone to call the morgue staff. The Flanley Hospital administration had told them that they could see the remains of the baby whenever they wanted.Now, however, they failed to show anything—claiming that it was a rule for the hospital to cremate every unclaimed body within regular intervals. "Oh, I see." Told as much, the head nurse hung up and turned toward Isaac and Irene. "I'm sorry, but your child's remains have been cremated."Isaac frowned—they were almost eager to show them before, and should at least inform them before something like this. Why did they not do so? Is it possible that they had nothing?"This was your responsibility." "Yes. I'm sorry for the terrible miscommunication.""Do you think I'd accept that apology?!" Irene screamed. She clearly had yet to calm down, but no one probably could in her shoes. How could she accept it? She was not even afforded the chance to see th

Irene murmured, "It might be them…""No," Isaac assured her. "Sammy checked—it wasn't the people who confined you."As for him… Well, he had no shortage of rivals as enemies. He was a businessman, after all—his profits occasionally meant taking from others. While Irene had been away, he went on a frenzy as he expanded his business, destroying a long list of rivals in the process.It would take a lot of time if they had to screen said list, and there would be nothing conclusive any time soon.Just having hope right now was more than ideal for them right now.…Sammy soon returned with news that Kim Sherwood had fled."I asked the admin, and they told me that she is on a break, but she definitely ran away. I'm sure she was prepared for this.""Then start looking!" Irene urged Isaac.He simply gave her hand a squeeze, and told Sammy, "I'm going back to Zidonia.I'll return later."Sammy understood that he had other arrangements to make. "I'll be waiting." He still needed

Irene realized immediately that Debbie must have transferred herself back in the country while she was gone.However, she was too tired to even stand, and simply nestled against Isaac's neck while pretending to sleep, reluctant to talk to Debbie.Once outside, Debbie opened the door for Isaac, who carried Irene inside.They headed straight home, and Stephen returned home as well. Sheryl Harris had cleaned the house and their rooms when she learned that Irene was returning, while Mrs. Watson cooked up a storm.Irene felt that she was home for the first time in a while."Welcome home." Sheryl was beaming, and she had cajoled Tommy to welcome her as well.Mrs. Watson stood nearby with a cheerful smile as well. "Ma'am."Irene crumbled right then, and her tears were already gushing. Sheryl walked up to her right then and wiped her tears. "No tears, or you're going to cry easily from now on."Isaac had called ahead that Irene had delivered their child prematurely, so the child ha

Isaac had to coax Tommy with his toys before the boy finally let go, and Sheryl scooped him up in her arms. "Come in already.""Yeah," Isaac replied, and headed to the bedroom with a hand around Irene's shoulder.Once he closed the door behind himself, he swiftly gathered her in his arms, knowing that she was saddened that Tommy had grown distant to her. "I know you love him, and how difficult it was for you to keep him back then. He loves you, but he needs time to remember since you've been gone for a while."Irene knew that, but she just could not help feeling despondent, so Isaac had to gently pat her on the back.After a while and her mood improved, Isaac let go and said, "I'm getting a bath ready."He headed inside the bathroom, prepared a tub full of hot water that filled the room with vapor. Then, he helped her undress, but Irene caught his wrist. "I can do it myself—""I'll help," he insisted, not because of libido, but only because he wanted to take care of her.It
