Despite Irene's best efforts in hiding her feelings, Isaac immediately heard the tears in her voice."Are you crying?" he asked quietly.Irene did her best to keep her voice in check while denying it. "No, I'm fine."There was silence on the other end. "Alright, you totally weren't crying."Irene hung her head right then, staring at her toes as she said, "I missed you."Learning what had happened to Lulu had left her feeling as if she was punched in the gut.She did her best to keep herself in check, but with Isaac, she suddenly wanted a shoulder to lean on, and to feel vulnerable.There was a long silence from the other end. "You should go to bed."Irene asked, "Weren't you supposed to come home once you're done over there?""Something came up."Irene felt despondent. "I see," she murmured, lowering her head as teardrops trickled over her eyelashes. "You called to tell me that you're not returning soon, right?""Yeah," he said quietly.Heaving a long sigh, she mustered h

As Irene got out of bed, Isaac left the room first to check on Tommy.Everyone else apart from Irene and Isaac already had their breakfast, so they went to the dining table together. "I will have to drop by the office later," Isaac said. Irene nodded—there definitely would be work waiting to be done since he just returned."Um…" She wanted to ask Isaac about the photo in his notebook."What is it?"As Isaac stared at her for a moment, Irene shook her head. "No, it's nothing."She should be trusting in Isaac—he would eventually tell her if there was anything she needed to know. "Stay home and get some proper rest," he told her before he left for work.It just so happened that Irene was feeling spirited for the day.Tommy was sitting on the floor and playing with his little dog, and she walked up to pat his little head. "Are you having fun?"Tommy looked up and beamed at her, and she scooped him up in his arms and gave him a peck on the cheek.Sheryl soon walked up to he

Irene could hardly believe her ears. "Debbie bought the dog? How could it be her?!"It was hardly a surprise if there was something wrong with the dog Debbie bought, given her heinous nature!Mrs. Watson quickly admitted, "Debbie overheard me asking the chauffeur to buy a dog, and offered to do it instead, saying that she knows a lot about animals. I agreed to it, since she had always done well at her job…"Irene was frustrated, but after how Mrs. Watson had taken care of her for so long, she understood that Mrs. Watson did not mean harm.Working hard to keep her emotions in check, she said, "Take the dog to a vet right now for a full body checkup. Found out if it's sick."Seeing that she was flustered, Mrs. Watson asked, "Was it the cause for Tommy's rash?"Irene nodded. "Wait, nevermind—I'll go with the chauffeur."She was worried that something would happen in between again, and she gave Sheryl a head's up before she left. "Don't go anywhere, Mom.""Okay," Sheryl said—Tommy

Although Isaac had now seen Debbie's true nature, he asked, "Why would you hurt James Cross? He was the one who got you recommended to this job. Shouldn't you be grateful?"He wanted to know if James found out about some sort of secret she had, that forced her to silence James."I really liked that diamond necklace you plan to give Irene Spencer, and I put it on as I fantasized that you gave it to me—James caught me red-handed, and I knew right then that he saw through me. So, I tried to silence him… permanently."Debbie then paused for a moment before adding, "Oh, I'm grateful that he got me this job, but he became my obstacle after he saw what I did. Hesitation is the worst thing to do, so I had to do what I did… who knew that he would've survived that instead." "Since you wanted to keep things quiet, why dispense with your disguise now? Are you really that confident that I'll bend to your whims?" Isaac leaned against his chair, but every nerve in his body was stiffening despite

Irene's words did not offer Isaac relief.Even if she did not misunderstand him and trusted him, it only strengthened his resolve to murder Debbie!He had never felt such bloodlust or the impulse to claim another life without regard to the consequences!Just then, Irene quietly said over the phone, "I'll do my best to find a cure.""Yeah," Isaac said quietly.It was not that much of a conversation, but both knew what each other were thinking. …Irene stared outside the car window, her hands sliding feebly to her lap while she watched the passing scenery.The car was driving steadily, but her heart could not calm down at all, and felt as if it was struck repeatedly by a raging tide.As the car came to a stop, Irene shelved her thoughts so that she could examine the current situation with calm composure and determination.She knew that Isaac would deal with Debbie—right now, she must find out what virus was embedded on the dog, and her best chance was Hotmesh Research.It was

Stephen was there mainly because of the research paper incident before.Though Tobey Kitsch, the deputy director, had since been fired for his duplicity and Irene was also caught in the subsequent fallout, Stephen was still hoping that they could continue using the research data to develop a fully artificial heart for the sake of the country.Dennis Turner, the director, naturally agreed with the idea.At the same time, he blamed himself for not seeing Tobey's true colors until it was too late, leaving a huge mess in his wake.After their discussion, Dennis was escorting Stephen out when he noticed Irene in the lobby.Knowing Irene's health, Stephen hurried to her and asked in concern, "What are you doing here? You should be resting at home."Irene sighed feebly. "I'm in trouble.""What is it? Do you need my help?" Irene smiled begrudgingly. "As a matter of fact, I do.""Alright, shoot—I'll help you as best as I can within my power," Stephen said.He still felt like he owed

Debbie leveled Sheryl a look of disdain. "You're the one who has no right here. Did you think I came to mess around? Issac sent me to chase you out of this house!""Don't give me that crap!" Sheryl naturally would not believe Debbie. "Tommy is sick. He's not going to make us leave at a time like this…""I'm marrying Isaac, so you are all leaving—get it?" Debbie planted herself on the couch like she owned the place. "You have one hour, or I'll have all your belongings thrown out.Sheryl almost fainted right then—her feet turned to jelly and she stumbled backward, and Mrs. Watson had to catch her.Then, turning to glare at Debbie for a second, Mrs. Watson then charged at her and started clawing her face!"You witch! You brought us that diseased cure to make Tommy sick! And now you've come here to brag?! Mr. Jefferson would never love that black heart of yours—wake up already!"Debbie was caught off guard and she felt the flaring sting on her face before she realized what was happ

Irene remembered then—she had lost one of her twins at the time.Debbie smiled. "Actually, I knew everything, including the fact that Ricky was the driver… But since the vehicle was registered under your name, I sent our men after you instead."Irene's hand slowly clenched into fists at her sides.Whitney Cox's amniocentesis did not cause a miscarriage at the time, but she had suffered one after those men attacked her.She had always held that grudge against Whitney, but it turned out that Debbie was the real culprit.If she did not send those men after her, both twins would have survived.She glared at Debbie then, truly realizing how far her treachery goes just then."Now you got what you wanted. You've won—I lost.""I always get what I want," Debbie gloated."Yeah. Good luck," Irene flatly said, and turned to leave.…They were soon done packing since they were just taking some clothes and necessities, and Irene was carrying Tommy, while Mrs. Watsons and Sheryl carried th
