Sheryl said, "Look, Isaac is not your average business owner. He needs a wife at home to keep an eye on things while he works. I know that he wants the best for the family, even suggesting that we go to Franconia with Tommy, since he already had a house and arranged for servants there. We'd be able to settle down quickly while his work would become more convenient… he never mentioned that again because of you, you know."Irene had never heard Isaac mention that before.She only found out he wanted to move to Franconia today—when they were arguing.Lowering her eyes, she murmured, "So that's why…""But the richer and more powerful he is, the less reason you have to deny your own self," Sheryl told her.She still supported Irene's work, and she would take care of Irene's children.As Irene looked up at her, Sheryl continued. "He may love you and care for you now, but you already had two children with him. There's all the pretty young women one would need out there, so I don't want

Isaac's cold visage became tender as he looked at his son, who was sitting in front of his desk.It was a tenderness he reserved for Irene and their children.As he scooped Tommy up in his arms, Tommy chirped, "Where's mama?"Isaac spaced out for a moment, but he soon recovered. "She's working. She will be back by the evening."Tommy leaned his head on his shoulder then. "I want to go out and play with you and mama.""Okay," Isaac agreed to it—he did not want to disappoint his boy, and he certainly did not spend that much time with his children.As Tommy clapped his hands happily, his bright eyes narrowed into little crescents as he smiled. It was just like Irene's smile, even though Tommy's facial features resembled his. Issac then remembered the pain Irene went through to deliver their boys.He should not have hurt her, even if he was not thinking straight.Thud, thud…As he was planning to apologize when Irene came home, he heard the knock on the door, and said, "Come i

Their airplane encountered some turbulence and dropped abruptly, but recovered in minutes.It was still daytime when they arrived at Minerva due to the time difference.Irene had contacted Mick Gooding beforehand. They saw him standing nearby soon after they disembarked. Irene told Mick what happened to Erin behind her back and he appeared somber.Still, he quickly pretended not to know when he saw them, mainly because he did not want to pressure Erin."Welcome back," he said with a smile. "Dad."Erin was doing her best to pretend nothing happened too, but she could not smile, only make herself look like everything was going fine.However, the dark circles under her eyes and her haggard reaction was a constant reminder that she was in bad shape.Mick pretended not to see that. "Come on. Let's go home," he said, putting an arm around her shoulder. "I had Consuella cook your favorite food. You must have missed the food here while you were in Zidonia, right?""Yeah, I do," E

Isaac was quiet for a long time. Her parents died early and he went unloved too.However, he did not go through the disappointment of being unloved while his loved ones were around."I know that this is selfish of me…" Sheryl continued."I understand." Isaac was not upset because he had since come around. He and Irene were supposed to be equals. If he forced her to make sacrifices for his own benefit, that makes them unequal. She was already devastated after what happened to Erin, and yet he fought with her instead of offering her comfort.Sheryl was left puzzled for a moment. "Are you agreeing to her getting a job?""Trying to stop her was my bad," Isaac replied.Sheryl had more to say, since she really wanted to help her daughter get her right to keep her job.She was therefore surprised that Isaac was being so agreeable, and she was unsure what to say.Isaac rose to his feet and started to leave just then. "I still have work to do.""Yeah, yeah, you should go." Sheryl

Irene averted her eyes and tugged on her own sleeve."Sorry," she murmured, insecurity suddenly flooding her, making her evasive and afraid to look him in the eye!Isaac put down the towel on his head and strode toward her, his towering figure slowly eclipsing her small stature. "Look at me," he said, his deep voice rich and magnetic.Irene felt herself being cornered against the door. She slowly looked up while feeling the chill on her back.Isaac learned downward then and kissed her lips.Irene's eyes widened in surprise."Mmph…"She pushed him off. "Look, just calm down. I know that I made a mistake."Isaac studied her in turn, and saw that her cheeks were skinnier after just two days. His thick, black lashes were lowered and his dark pupils twitched. "It's not your fault, it's mine. I failed as a husband, and constantly made you sad even though you're my wife…" "No."Her bright, clear eyes welled with tears. "I was thinking that you must lack love since you lost yo

They met the wounded chauffeur at the door, who apologized. "Sorry I couldn't save the lady, Mr. Jefferson…"Isaac knows very well that he did his best, but he blamed himself regardless—he might be able to save Erin too if he had fought harder."I've arranged for another chauffeur. You can return to work when you're better." The chauffeur nodded and turned toward Irene just then. "Thank you, ma'am."He was only able to recover quickly because Irene tended to him immediately, and he also knew how affable she was after working so long for the Jeffersons.Still, he had never expected her to completely disregard the difference in status between them showing no hesitation or contempt as she tended to him meticulously. Irene smiled faintly. "It's what I should do."She was a doctor and helping others was her duty, not to mention that he was hurt because of her."Let's go," Isaac said then and started to leave.Irene paused for a moment to ask, "Did Finn Crowe send you the medicine

Irene was seething. Seth had to keep mentioning that repeatedly and he was asking for something so unreasonable! Forgive? Not in her life! "Eagle, I want him out of my sight. I don't want to hear him speak." With that, Irene turned around, not wanting to spend another second there… Until a sharp shriek gave her pause!Irene turned to see Seth on the floor, clearly in a lot of pain, but also unable to make a sound!She raised a brow at Eagle, who explained, "He can't speak now, ma'am. I'll now take him out of your sight." With that, he carried Seth out of the building effortlessly as if he was a chick.When he returned, Irene commended him before returning to her office.She must give it to him—professionals were just built differently, and were utterly efficient!"Director Spencer." Yolanda quickly went up to greet her fawningly when she saw her arrive.Irene ignored her and called out to Finn. "Call the head of robotics to the meeting room. I need to speak with him."

While everyone was caught off guard, Irene ran forward and lay Dennis flatly on his back, then barked at Finn to get an oxygen mask while punching Dennis in the heart.It was an emergency resuscitation technique, using the jolt of the impact to restore the heart's regular rhythm.Dennis's sudden suffocation was due to his malignant ventricular arrhythmia, stopping his heart and causing loss of breath. Finn soon returned with the oxygen mask, which Irene put over Dennis's face while continuing to massage his heart.The process lasted for five minutes until Dennis's heart rate returned to normal and his breathing turned smooth again.He was fortunate that help reached him in time.Helping him sit up, Irene asked, "Do you feel better?"Dennis nodded. "Much better.""Director…"Everyone was watching him worriedly.Although they were working at a research center, they were all well-versed in the medical field, and Dennis's symptom was enough for them to tell that it was something
