Isaac glowered immediately at the sight of the diary. He growled coolly, "What are you doing? Feeling nostalgic, or is regret hitting you?"Irene was speechless, but since he had been behaving like that recently, she decided to ignore his jibe and said, "Let's go."She reached out, intending to hold on to him as they walked out together, but Isaac did not move, acting just like a pouting kid. As such, Irene withdrew her hand—she was not thick-skinned enough to have to depend on him on everything and she could walk fine on her own.She slowly walked, heading outside inch by inch! Isaac actually could not bear to look. "Trying to play the sympathy card, huh?"Irene simply ignored him—he was getting neurotic lately, so she did not want to upset him further or argue!Still, as she stubbornly inched forward, Isaac eventually walked over and carried her off.She pursed her lips. "So? Are you going to tell me what's gotten into you lately?"Isaac growled grumpily, "Shut up and eat.

Irene actually forgot she wrote that down.Still, as she tried hard to remember, she recalled how she threw a tantrum after an argument with her father Lionel and ran out of the house.It was raining, and she was soon soaked through.That was when Seth happened to be returning, and seeing that she was alone, he offered her shelter under his umbrella. At the time, she thought that she was like a prince who came to her on a white horse—kind and affectionate.She was just fourteen, the age when teenage hormones started blooming, and she hence wrote down all those fluffy feelings. Naturally, it was embarrassing just thinking about that now.To think that she had done something like this!Still, she now finally understood why Isaac was behaving so weirdly and saying that weird stuff.So this was the root cause… but when did he read it?She then realized that it was in his study anyway, and that he could read it anytime. Obviously, she should throw it away and then explain ever

Irene could not care less that her face was heavily bandaged.She aligned and dashed into the Twinrise office building, heading straight for the front desk when she spotted James stepping out."What are you doing here?" he asked."I'm looking for Isaac. Where is he?" Irene asked right away."He's out to deal with something," James said. "Is it urgent? Do you want me to call him back right now?"Irene thought about it, but gave up. "It's fine."She decided that she could wait until Isaac came back, and she turned to leave.When she returned to the hospital, she managed to make it back to her ward before Seth did his rounds and he helped her change her bandages."Can I stay home to recover instead?" Irene asked just then. Seth chuckled. "Do you hate the smell here? Aren't you a doctor yourself?""No, it's just cabin fever," Irene said."Well, sure. Actually, if you don't want to come here, I can visit your home to change your bandages every other day too."Irene quickly rej

Isaac did not return even at 8 PM and Irene's calls were not getting through.It was only after she asked James that she found out that Isaac had left the country.How could he leave so quietly without giving her a head's up? Irene actually felt very miserable that she could not sleep that night, and was left staring at her phone, wishing that he would call.However, she received a call from the hospital instead."Sorry for calling this late, but are you a friend or family member of Zachary Slate?"Irene drew a blank, and asked, "Who are you?""I'm calling from emergency dispatch—we had to get your number from the patient's phone. If you're a family member, please come to the hospital at once."Irene frowned. "What happened?""He was wounded in a fire. He's being rushed to Cloud City General as we speak.""Understood. I'll be right there," Irene said. She then quickly got out of bed and put on her clothes before asking the chauffeur to drive her to the hospital.There were

Lulu was certainly pale from shock when Irene saw her.Irene actually felt guilty and blamed herself for being skeptical that Lulu would faint from the fire."Are you feeling better?" Irene asked mildly. "The hospital might not be the best place to rest. You can come and stay a dew days with me, since Zachary would to stay in the hospital a few days before being discharged—""I'm fine. I think I'll pass," Lulu said, cutting her short.Irene sensed that Lulu was being distant right then.."Lulu," Irene said, taking Lulu's hand. "We're best friends, aren't we? You don't have to be a stranger. I mean, we even used to share the same bed…"Lulu pursed her lips. "Did we? I don't remember."Irene was not about to give up, just as Lulu's aloofness did not deter her."We did." Irene smiled."You should go. I should check on Zachary," Lulu said as she got out of bed and left, completely leaving Irene. Irene was disappointed, but did not hold it against Lulu—Lulu's aloofness might be d

Irene felt spirited right then. Could it be a phone call from Isaac? "Hello?"However, it turned out to be Sheryl. "Irene, did you leave in the middle of the night?""Yeah," Irene murmured quietly, doing her best to hide her disappointment. "Why'd you have to leave? How could you still be so unruly? Don't you understand the state you're in?" Sheryl rebuked her right then.Irene smiled and tried to assure her mother, saying, "I know. It won't happen again.""You always say that, but you never actually do it."It was not as if Sheryl wanted to scold her, but Irene really did make her worry all the time.Irene naturally had to change the subject. "Mom, did something happen? Was that why you called me?""Yeah. Will you be home soon?""Yeah.""Well, you will find out when you get home.""Okay," Irene replied, and hung up.Holding her phone and hesitating for a moment, she called Isaac's number again.…Meanwhile, in Franconia…Remy's headquarters was grander than the offic

Sheryl smiled as Irene pointed at the expensive-looking boxes piling in the living room. "Open them and you'll find out."Irene came to a realization then. "You called me home for these?"Sheryl nodded and Irene started to open the boxes. Even as Sheryl stood nearby, her joy could hardly be disguised. "Many people came in earlier and moved all these boxes in here. I wanted to get you, but you weren't there… Honestly, just look at yourself. How many days has it only been since your surgery? You're going to be a bride, so you really should consider what you want before you do it. Do you think it's good to run around in the middle of night while your face is still covered in bandages?"Irene smiled. "Yeah, I won't do it again."At the same time, she opened a box to find a pair of diamond-encrusted heels. As she raised her brow, Sheryl said, "Those would be your wedding shoes."Irene opened another box to find a tailored gown.There were over a hundred other boxes, all of them

However, Zachary cut his mother short before she could finish.A little frustrated just then, he snapped, "How could you say that, Mom? Don't you remember what you did to her? I didn't hold that against you and I wouldn't have managed to keep her if she didn't lose her memory. And yet you still suspect her after everything that's happened?"Mrs. Slate held her son's gaze. "I didn't want to suspect her, but it's just too much of a coincidence.""The investigation made everything very clear—the fire was just an accident from faulty wiring. How could you blame that on her?"Zachary was naturally unhappy. He felt like he owed Lulu, and he was single-minded about making amends. How was he a man if he still suspected her now?Outside the ward, Lulu turned to leave after hearing that, her expression impassive.But she was certainly not getting soft just because of what Zachary said.Within, Mrs. Slate knew that Zachary would not believe her without evidence, and she hence said, "Just
