James looked into Erin's eyes and smiled. "I like it that you're upset."It means that she cared about him, and that she did not want to share his body with other women.Erin lowered her head, her voice unwittingly turning raspy. "You're so annoying."James tenderly reached out with his arms to hold her.This time, she did not push him away, but she grabbed him by the collar instead as she forced back her tears.She was failing, even as she sobbed. "Could you not? Please don't make this difficult for me."Her shoulders were shaking and her tears started to roll, and she leaned against his chest. "I-I don't deserve to be with you…"James held her tightly then and kissed her hair and her cheek before whispering beside her ear, "You gave me your first time to me. I had you in your purest state.""No, I've been defiled…""Shush."James pressed a finger on her lips. "It's in the past, and I've punished the people who hurt you. They'll spend the rest of their lives in jail, and I'v

James kept grinning in amusement. "Just pulling your leg."Erin rose to her feet right then. "Enjoy your meal."James quickly caught her wrist. "You're really upset, huh? Alright, it's your turn to pull a prank on me.""When did you change so much?" Erin asked, staring at him—she almost could not recognize him.He never behaved like this before! How did he change so drastically in such a short time? "I just wanted to cheer you up," James said, tugging at her so that she sat down. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Here—take this slice and mess with me."Erin smiled despite herself."No way, that's so childish."James smiled as he watched her smiling face.There were not many others at the cinema when they arrived after James had his lunch, and it was just the two in the entire hall.Still, James put an arm around her shoulder and said, "Come on. Lean on my shoulder."Erin did so, like a delicate little bird.She suddenly said softly, "You never did this before.""Did wh

As Finn dropped to a crouch beside Dennis to check his vitals, Irene started to apply first aid since she knew Dennis's condition.However, she noticed that something was amiss when she checked Dennis's heart rate. Still, she calmly looked up at Finn and said, "Call an ambulance… Never mind. That would take too much time—just carry him out of here.""Okay." Finn fully trusted Irene now and quickly did what he was told.Irene helped him move Dennis over his back before running ahead and arranging for Eagle to get the car ready. Soon, Finn got Dennis in the car, while Eagle drove all of them to the hospital.Thanks to Irene's quick response, Dennis was rescued in time. "Is Director Turner going to be alright?" Finn asked. Irene simply stayed silent, her expression somber.After all, she knew that Dennis was in bad shape—his life was at risk."Why aren't you saying anything, Director Spencer?" Finn asked, staring at her just then. "Is it serious?"Irene remained silent—she mu

The look in Ray's eyes was basically saying: Are you kidding me? Surgeries were not a game! "Even if you're a medical research staff, surgeries are only to be performed by doctors with the proper certification and training. Do you have those?""I do," Irene replied.Ray stared fixedly at her in silence, surprised despite himself.Still, she had remained calm since the start, and that was proof enough—the average person would be losing composure once they found out that their family was facing mortal danger."But you're not a doctor of this hospital. Even if you are a doctor, you're not allowed to perform the surgery here," Ray told her.Irene had more to say when Finn and several Hotmesh Research personnel arrived together, having heard about Dennis's condition."How is it going?" Finn asked."Not good," Irene replied."What?" everyone exclaimed at once.Irene stayed silent, but Ray explained, "If you're his family too, I'll make it clear—you need to prepare yourself.""W

Ray had the nurse prepare the surgical equipment and assist Irene with everything she needed."Since you're a member of the patient's family, sign the surgery consent form. This is an essential procedure in any hospital, and we wouldn't be able to take the responsibility if anything happens. So…"Irene understood—every doctor feared reprisals.If Dennis died, his family would press the issue on this hospital. But she wanted to perform the surgery, so she must therefore assume that responsibility. "Give it to me," Irene said.The nurse did so, and Irene quickly signed it before turning to Ray. "I will need your assistant."Ray nodded. "Of course.""You know the people here, Dr. Hall. I'll be counting on you now.""Just leave it to me."Having taken the Hippocratic Oath, Ray did his best to assist Irene. She opened the box and took out the artificial heart that Finn brought, then took a deep breath."Are you sure about this?" Ray asked."No," Irene replied. "...Then why

However, Irene quickly noticed the man's resemblance to Dennis and thought right then that the man was his son.Finn gave Irene a look, hinting that they should go because Neil Turner appeared agitated. He was certainly worried that Neil would say something that upset Irene, since she was not Dennis's family and had no authority to sign the consent forms for the surgery.It would be ideal if the surgery was a success, since Dennis's family had no issue to pursue and they would even be grateful to Irene.But if Dennis died, they would have every reason to pursue responsibility.Irene was not about to hide, however.Whatever happened had happened, and she did what she did—hiding would not solve anything. Neil stormed toward them with a furious glare. "Who do you think you are? You have no right to give the surgery a green light.""Director Turner was in danger. There was no time to think," Irene explained."That still doesn't give you the right to decide for my father," he gro

Staring at Martin with disbelief, Lulu asked, "What is this?""I know it took you a lot of courage to marry me, and that you didn't marry for love," Martin told her. "But whether it's impulse or recompense, I'm happy. So, even though I'm not rich enough to afford you an extravagant lifestyle, all I have is yours."Holding her gaze, he continued, "My father was an officer, but he died in the line of duty when I was twelve. My mother never remarried and raised me on her own, but she died from stomach cancer when I was 24. They left me with this house—the same one I grew up in—and I want to give it to you. That's why I registered you as a co-owner of this house."Picking up a yellow card, he said, "Here's the savings my parents left me. It's worth over ten grand."Picking up another card, he said, "This is my personal savings. There's up to 40 grand, and I have that much because I don't use it much."Lulu stared at everything in the box. They were so simple, yet precious and held i

Lulu told Martin, "You don't have to clean up. I'll get it done when I get home—I don't think men like you are that good with housework."Martin simply smiled and waved her off. "You underestimate me—I'm perfect with housework, save for cooking. Now go, or you'll be late."Lulu stared at him then, wanting to speak but unable to do it. There were three rooms in the house, and she wanted to tell him that he could sleep in another bed instead of leaving.But how could she tell Martin that? And what would he think of her after that?She married him, but she could not even play the role of a wife!Asking her newlywed husband to sleep in another bed was proof of her failure.Turning away, she strode out and closed the door behind her. …Irene fell asleep on the couch with Tommy in her arms.She was home early, and Isaac thought it weird to see her at this hour. Lately, she had been coming home later than he did.As he walked over to her, Irene opened her eyes.As she was just
