Irene was scowling. "He just married her days ago and he has a baby now?"Isaac was suspicious too, and they both were wondering if the baby Harvey Gooding was holding was theirs. After all, Harvey had always been hostile toward Isaac, and he now felt the same toward Irene as well because of how she kept rejecting him.Given his style, he would have kidnapped their child in retaliation.Irene was agitated that she was going to run up and interrogate him—she could not stay calm where her child was concerned.However, Isaac caught her. "Calm down.""That child might be ours! How could I stay calm?!" Irene snapped impatiently. "Irene," he reasoned softly. "Even if you asked, he won't admit it—""Yo!" Harvey spotted them just then, and was starting towards them, even holding up the child he was holding as if flaunting."I have a kid now too," he told Isaac provokingly. "But you don't look too happy. What, am I an eyesore just because I have a son now?""Your son? Just days af
Isaac composed himself and put his hands around Irene. "It doesn't matter what he wants. Let's do the paternity test anyway—we shouldn't let anything slip past us."After they returned to their car, Irene said as she put on her seatbelt. "I'll do the paternity test myself."She was uncomfortable with others doing it, and she wanted no error!"Okay," Isaac replied. As her heart became filled with anticipation and worry at once, Isaac held her hand and squeezed it. "Don't worry."Irene simply leaned her head against the window. "Are you saying that I shouldn't hold out too much hope?"Isaac certainly thought so, and Irene understood that. Nodding and trying to look relaxed just then, she said, "I know."…After Isaac sent her home, he told her, "Get some rest."Irene nodded and headed straight inside after alighting. Isaac watched her and only drove off after she went inside.Bzzt—Irene's phone rang when she was changing out of her shoes, and she answered it."Why don't
It was Harvey who answered the door, but he appeared annoyed. "I thought you weren't coming.""I was delayed," Irene said flatly. Harvey stood aside to let her in. "Come in."Irene stood at the doorway, glancing inside warily, and she only entered after seeing someone else inside. Harvey closed the door and asked, "What are you worried about? That I'd do something to you?""Have you ever succeeded?" Irene asked.Harvey was speechless—he had to give it to her, she was certainly cunning.Since the subject was not to his advantage, he changed it. "This is my wife, Heather."The woman on the couch had the baby in her arms and she greeted Irene politely. "Hello. Harvey told me a friend is visiting, and that would be you, right? Pleased to meet you,".Having no idea what Harvey was actually up to, Irene politely smiled in return. "Likewise."Harvey walked up and put an arm on Heather's shoulder, watching Irene as he said, "We're supposed to be friends, but she skipped out on our
Heather King felt her head spinning, and soon, her vision of Harvey blurred. Harvey became dazed as well and started to wobble, and he quickly returned to the couch, shaking his head firmly to clear his head."Are you feeling dizzy? Me too…" Heather mumbled.The child in her arms had turned quiet as well, even though he was crying just a moment ago.Harvey understood Irene's anger just then—she was a doctor and had a sharp smell.She must have noticed that something was wrong before they did.He then turned toward the scented candle on the table.A steward had given it to them, saying that it would help with sleeping, and Harvey took it without hesitation.That must be it!He got up and tried to snuff it out, but dropped to the floor before he could reach it.Heather then fainted as well!…On the other hand, Irene ran into James Cross in the corridor once she got out.What are you doing here?" she asked."Mr. Jefferson told me to get blood and hair samples from Harvey's
"Yeah?" Issac replied—he wanted to know the result too."No," Irene said, shaking her head.The baby was not related to her at all!There was disappointment in Isaac's eyes, but it quickly faded as he gathered Irene in his arms, softly assuring her, "It's fine. It doesn't matter—we'll keep looking. I've even received word from my PI that he's on Kim Sherwood's trail. We just have to be patient."He had already prepared her for this outcome, just as he had prepared himself. It was obvious that Harvey would not bring their child out in the open if he really snatched him, and this simply proved that.Even so, Irene could not help feeling despondent. She was worried that her child was suffering…However, calmness and composure was a doctor's tenet, and she quickly composed herself. Turning to James, she said, "You can return the child to Harvey now."They had no reason to keep him since he is not their child."But is the boy Harvey's?" James pointed out, but Irene did not test
When Zachary turned and saw the woman who looked just like Lulu Adams, he lost her rationality right then and dashed forward, catching hold of her wrist."Lulu?!"The stewardess turned to find a handsome man. She asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"Zachary, however, was staring at her so hard his eyes could pop out.The stewardess did not just resemble Lulu Adams—she was her!"Y-You're alive?" He was so thrilled, but even as he dawdled between tears and laughter, the stewardess found him unhinged instead. "Did you get the wrong person?"Zachary could not care less right then, and he pulled her tightly into his arms.Clang!The saucer she carried crashed to the floor, dropping the food everywhere.She struggled and screamed as if being molested, "Help! Help! Someone, help me!" Zachary frowned."What's wrong, Lulu?" he asked, staring fixedly at her. "Did you forget about me?"Why did she look so spooked, even turning pale? "Let go of me!" There was onl
Zachary turned toward the voice calling him and became at once impatient and excited when he saw that it was Irene.Striding toward her, he excitedly grabbed Irene by the arm, blabbering, "Irene, Lulu… I saw her. She's alive. She's alive!"Irene actually thought that he was hallucinating from missing Lulu too much and she simply played along, nodding. "I know. Let's go back now."Zachary glared at her. "You don't believe me?""Of course I do," Irene replied a little too quickly."You're obviously not listening!" Zachary took a moment to calm down, before continuing seriously, "I really saw her! I wasn't seeing things or hallucinating. She's real!"Irene stared at him just then.He looked so serious it could well be real, so he asked, "Where did you see her?""Just now. She's a stewardess named Rainie Lang.""Rainie… Lang?""She didn't recognize me and she's even changed her name. I'm guessing she's amnesiac."Zachary spoke with such conviction that Irene quickly said, "Take
"Zachary saw this stewardess,'" Irene explained, "and he kept insisting that she looked exactly like Lulu. I thought that since I had no time to help, I wanted to ask him to update me after he gets to the bottom of this… But he left already.""You don't have to care about everything, y'know," Isaac said. "Look at how skinny you are—you should be staying home to get some proper rest."Irene had certainly noticed that her health was failing.She had not properly recovered from her postpartum period twice now.And with all the mental stress weighing down on her, she would have started to crumble long ago if Mrs. Watson and Sheryl had not been making her nutritious food every day. Suddenly, Isaac scooped her up in his arms, and Irene wrapped her arms around his neck in surprise. That really came out of nowhere! Glaring at him, she grumbled, "Can't you act proper too? We're outside, and there are people watching, please!""What's the problem? We're married, and you're frail. Can'
