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
Eagle replied, "No, I made sure to pull my punches.""Then why is he still there?" Irene asked. "I think his leg must have broken when I threw him, so he can't walk." Irene was left perplexed by Eagle's response.Seth could not move because of a broken leg? He must be kidding! "Why didn't he call somebody to help him? Why is he still lying there?""He can't talk, so it would be pointless to call anyone. And no one would touch him with me around."Irene was speechless, while Isaac suddenly said, "Not bad."He certainly did not forget that Irene had a crush on Seth before, and was naturally feeling schadenfreude from the situation! "Thank you, Mr. Jefferson."Eagle's stern visage did not twitch as he replied respectfully.Irene was once again speechless. "Call an ambulance. He'll affect passersby if he stays there.""Yes, ma'am," Eagle replied, while Isaac drove off. Eagle soon called an ambulance and followed it in his car. "Let's eat out with Tommy and visit the amu
The girl said, "You're drunk."She closed the door to the taxi, which drove them to the hotel.On the other hand, Zachary seemed to be convinced that she was Lulu. He caught her wrist as she mumbled, "Please don't leave me."The girl was certainly aware that he had the wrong girl, but it was her duty to serve all his millionaire needs and bear with it.Soon, the taxi arrived at the hotel and she helped Zachary inside. When she swiped the card to unlock the door, however, Zachary suddenly pushed her away, wobbling even as he snapped, "Y-You're not Lulu!" The girl did a double take, but walked up to him again. "You're drunk!""Who are you?" Zachary growled, narrowing his eyes. "S-Stay away from me."When he tried to push her away again, he stumbled backward in reflex and dropped on his bottom.On the other hand, the girl was scowling after being pushed away twice. "Look, I was paid to do this. Did you think I wanted to get all touchy with you?"She wondered if she should g
In the hotel, Zachary was glowering at the girl he did not remember well before him.Seeing that he probably did not remember that she left him outside his room, she smiled. "Yes, it was me."And yet, Zachary clearly remembered seeing Lulu.He saw her face so clearly, and she felt so real to the touch!Did he miss Lulu so much he hallucinated, thinking that this girl was Lulu?Walter was smiling. "Of course it's her. What do you think? Are you satisfied?"As he spoke, he pulled the girl toward himself, prompting a giggle from her. "Oh, you…"Zacahry glared at Walter, his dark eyes glinting dangerously as he pursed his lips. "I won't be investing in your business!""Mr. Slate…?"Zachary did not respond, but he simply took three grand in dollar bills from his assistant Juan and threw it at the girl. "That's all you're worth!"He was furious after being scammed, and it only frustrated him the more he thought about it! With that, he strode toward his car, leaving Walter confuse
"I'm fine," Irene replied.She was just glad to see Tommy laugh so much!Leaning against Isaac's arm and giving Tommy a pinch on his soft cheeks, she pointed at his cotton candy and asked, "Can I have a bite?" Tommy held it out to her and she took a bite, leaving sticky stains around her lips, which latched on the tissue when she wiped it. She regretted eating it, as she felt sticky all over her lips now."Over here."Isaac poured some bottled water over his fingers and wiped her lips, which easily removed the sticky stains. As he lowered his gaze to study her lips with a serious look, Irene felt her heart skip a beat at the sight of his beautiful face.She felt at once a little conceited and a little superficial. Having a man beside her and tending to her was certainly going to leave others envious, because she could sense many a young lady shooting looks at them! Smiling, she shifted closer to him as if to tell everyone else that he was hers. There was a jingle signali
"We have a hit. I'm heading over as we speak."James had managed to track down the goons, but they were out of town so he needed to head over to confirm right away.He was already on his way, but he decided he should give Isaac a head's up."Good," Isaac replied. "Contact me when you have something.""Sure."With that, Isaac hung up and turned around, only to see that Irene was gone from their table.His heart skipped a beat—the unending list of trouble that occurred to her was almost freakish, leading to his mind always jumping to the worst-case scenario. He looked around frantically, but he eventually found her carrying a paper bag.He frowned and strode over to her. "Where did you go?"Irene held up the paper bag to show him. "I bought you donuts. There's nothing else available this late."As Isaac stared at her in silence, Irene presumed that he disliked it too. "Everyone likes snacks, but if you don't want it, we can just head home and ask Mrs. Watson to cook you someth
Irene frowned as she tapped on her phone again, and it was another message. [Refuse, and I will come to you at your workplace.]It almost sounded threatening. "What now?" Isaac asked. Irene pursed her lips, searching her mind endlessly to find who would possibly do this.No one came to mind apart from Seth Hedge, but he was not about to bother her with a broken leg. "They would look for me at work if I don't go," she told Isaac, unsettled.She was wary, and certainly did not like having this weirdness like this happening to her."I'll drive you to work tomorrow," Isaac said.Irene looked at him, feeling apologetic inside that she could not care for their family as a wife, or ease his list of worries. Instead, his own work was affected because of her.She lowered her gaze to Tommy, who was asleep in her arms. Both him and his baby brother were basically raised by Sheryl Harris. "Give me two years, Isaac. Dennis Turner picked me, and he's not going to find someone else
The way the woman was butchered senselessly left Lulu flinching, even though she had seen her fair share of gore. Still, she quickly composed herself and opened her equipment box, whipped out a pair of gloves, and began examining the victim: a young girl with a pretty face.Initial examination suggests that she was tortured to death, though further investigation was needed for more details.Lulu was not distressed or embarrassed to see the victim brutalized beyond description, but she instead calmly and thoroughly examined every part of the victim's body, including the privates.When she was done, she said, "Initial post-mortem suggests extensive damage to internal organs to be the cause of death. Most of the observable damage is in her womb." "Is there nothing else?" Martin asked. "I took some samples to examine back at the lab. We might get something more conclusive there.""Good.""Captain, check this out," an officer said, picking up a bloody beer bottle.Martin glanced
