Harvey leveled a deadly glare at James, baring all his hostility right then.As they stood off against each other, the air seemed to be ablaze and they looked like they were ready to fight!Irene walked up to Isaac just then, whispering, "Right now, we need to get our child back. Payback can wait."Right now, she wanted to make peace, and one must admit that it was the wise choice—pushing Harvey over the edge would do no one any good. They had to take Harvey seriously while he still had their child.On the other hand, it was not as if James had lost his usual composure, but Harvey was really being despicable! He knew that Irene and Isaac were married with a child but tried to meddle anyway, and he held a grudge when he failed. It was utterly unreasonable!Nonetheless, Isaac called out to James. "James, over here."Harvey became smug as he watched James back off, but he still insisted on Irene apologizing.Irene, however, was a lot more agreeable. "I'm sorry."Hence, despi
Barbara's eyes widened. "Why would I lie? Rainie is our daughter… Are you messing with us now?"Zachary said unhurriedly, "I have proof. That's why I said that."Barbara panicked then and hurried off to her husband, Tobias Lang. As they conferred with each other in their room, Zachary simply waited outside without hurrying them.Still, it took a while for them to return, and Tobias asked, "Who are you?""I stayed here because I recognized her and came to investigate her identity," Zachary admitted. "Be honest and I won't make things hard for you, but if you insist on denying it, you can't blame me if I get rough."Nonetheless, Barbara and Tobias had made their choice after discussing it in their room.Rainie Lang was not actually their daughter, and they could not hide it any longer now that someone came knocking on their doorstep. Moreover, the rest of the village knew that, since a stranger suddenly appeared in their house. Zachary just needed to ask around for proof."Cou
Zachary said, "That's because you are her."Rainie snorted. "Again with this? I knew you were rotten for the start. I don't know who you are, and now you're saying that I'm this person in the photo? You're crazy."With that, she tried to sidestep him and leave, but he caught her by the wrist. "Doubt me all you want, but I can take you to your real father right now and perform a paternity test right in front of you.""I don't need it! Stop harassing me!" Rainie shook his hand off angrily, but Zachary was not about to give in after finding out who she really was.He had already lost her once, and he would not allow that to happen again."Lulu," he said, keeping his voice as even as possible, "You fell into the sea and lost your memories. Barbara and Tobias aren't your parents, and your name isn't Rainie—it's Lulu Adams.""You're crazy! Stay away from me, or I'm calling the cops!" Rainie doubted him anyway.Seeing that she was being stubborn and refusing to believe anything he said
Irene replied. "Nope. What is it?"She was just reunited with her younger son after being put through so much, so she certainly did not want to leave the house without some proper hugs and kisses.And right now, nothing else mattered more than staying home with her sons. "I have Lulu in custody, but she's amnesiac and doesn't recognize me… It wouldn't be a far cry to say that she's very hostile, too. Either way, I'm not getting through to her, but I think you can."Irene actually hesitated then. "Can this wait?"Her second son just returned home and he was still quite weak. They had to settle him in and be extra attentive when it comes to his care."Fine, I just sedated her anyway," Zachary said. "She will be down for around four hours."Hanging up, Irene put away her phone and carried Tommy to Sheryl.She did not actually even have to care for her second son—Sheryl had been taking care of Tommy since he was born, and she was naturally up to the task of caring for Irene's seco
Soon, the door opened and Zachary said, "Come on in.""Where is she?" Irene was actually anxious too."She hasn't woken up," Zachary replied."I'm early, then." "Take a seat. Would you like a drink?""Fruit juice would be good." Zachary poured her a glass of fresh juice, and Irene went to check on Lulu after half a glass.She was still asleep, so Irene gently closed the door.Unbeknown to Irene, Rainie Lang's eyes opened the instant Irene shut the door. She was thinking that she really wanted to know if she was really amnesiac, and whether she actually was Lulu Adams.Quietly rising to her bare feet, Rainie tiptoed to the door just as Irene returned to the living room and asked softly, "Are you done straightening things out back home?""Yeah," Zachary replied quietly. "I've divorced Ember Lindt and made sure her family was destroyed with no hope of resurgence. Now, everything I say in the family goes."Irene hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did the Lindts try to kill L
Zachary asked gingerly, "You're awake?"Rainie remained wary as he stared at her. After overhearing his conversation with Irene, she was enlightened about a great many things despite the lack of words.She had lost her memory because people tried to kill her but failed, and the mother of the man before her was involved."What do you want now?" She glared at him."I told you—this woman was your junior in med school and your best friend. Let her tell you about yourself, and you'd know that I'm not lying."Rainie was laughing inwardly. Not lying? He did not want her to regain her memories!It went without saying that he must have treated her terribly before, or he would not have worried that she remembered."Fine, I'll meet her." She relented."Okay, good," Zachary happily passed her a pair of loafers. "Put these on. She's waiting in the living room. Rainie got to her feet. "What's her name?""Irene Spencer," Zachary replied. "Do you remember your old job? You were a forens
The traffic light was still red when Irene looked out of the window and saw that familiar car, though the chauffeur started to drive off before she got a good look.Still, she turned and managed to see Moneypenny alighting.It was not surprising that she recognized the car—it was Henry Jefferson's, but she did not dwell on it since Isaac was not on speaking terms with them now.…Returning to the mansion, Irene found it dead silent except for the kitchen.Sheryl was on the couch, sorting some of Irene's baby necessities which they had bought just today."Where's Isaac?" Irene asked casually."He's talking to James Cross in his study," Sheryl replied.Irene left to check on her children first before she left the room quietly since they were asleep.Seeing her again, Sheryl asked, "Why don't you ask if they're done? Dinner is ready."Irene did so, and found the study door ajar.As she was about to open it, she heard James speaking, "Stan dealt with Kim Sherwood since he's clos
The sun is always kindest as dawn breaks.As Isaac left for work after breakfast, Irene was doting on their two sons."Irene…"Sheryl wanted to speak with Irene, but she hesitated after calling out to her. "What is it, Mom? Just tell me," Irene told her.Sheryl was actually hesitant because she was concerned about Irene's feelings, and was worried about hurting her self-esteem."Well, the wedding will not be so soon, but you need to prepare too."Irene was still playing with Tommy as she replied, "Isaac said he would handle it, didn't he? I don't have to do anything."Sherly had no choice but to be direct right then. "But you'd want to be a beautiful bride, don't you? I mean, you can hide your face when you go outside these days, but there's still a lot of days to come…"Irene touched her own facial scars right then and she hung her head.Sheryl then continued, "Look, Isaac might not mind it now, but it's still hideous.""If he's fickle, he'll get sick of me eventually even
