Irene soon found the right clothes and got changed while telling him, "Just sleep. I'm going to the hospital."However, Isaac was suddenly wide awake and sat up. "Why? Are you worried.""Yeah, I am," Irene admitted.Isaac got out of bed in turn and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Be nice. It's the middle of the night—just sleep, and don't think anything about it."Irene turned and looked at him then. "Did you know that I was being that eager today?"Isaac blinked his thick lashes a couple times. "Why?""To distract myself."She did not want to keep thinking about Dennis Turner, but she had yet to receive a call, which meant that Dennis's life was still in the balance—it could still be either death or good news. Isaac furrowed his brows so hard his brows almost knotted together.What did she take him for?He suddenly scooped Irene up in his arms.She smacked him on the shoulder. "What are you doing?! You scared me."That came out of the blue!Isaac simply carried

Zachary clicked his tongue twice. "You look like you have something to hide, but you're calling me a voyeur? You're the pervert here.""I can tell my lady whatever I like. Why do you care?" James snorted coolly. "You're just obviously jealous that others are doing fine.""Hah! I'm jealous?" Zachary said as he sat opposite him. "You're the brazen one, flaunting your lovey-dovey relationship in public."James held his gaze for a few moments and said, "I think you're losing your mind from jealousy."Zachary gave him a clever-girl look. "You can tell?"James was speechless for a moment. "Buzz off!"Zachary chuckled as the other man rose to his feet. "What are you doing here?""I'm in a diner. Do you think I'm taking a bath here instead?"James was speechless again and he really wanted to tell Zachary to buzz off just then!"Let's go together. I was here for a business meeting and I'm done now," Zachary said, looking serious just then.James shot him a look. "You've been busy for

The two men's clothes were disheveled as they lay flat on their blacks. Isaac was left scowling and speechless. "Why are they out here?" Irene asked, crouching as she did and frowning when the stench of alcohol hit her in the nose. "Were they drinking?""Probably," Isaac said, and he called Eagle along with the chauffeur. "Bring them inside."Once the chauffeur did so, he drove out with Mrs. Watson for her routine shopping for the children.Irene told Mrs. Watson, "Get them some pick-me-up too. They drank a lot."In fact, they were still unconscious."Okay," Mrs. Watson replied. "Don't worry—just leave them in the guest rooms, and I'll tend to them."Irene nodded and told Isaac, "Let's go.""Yeah."Isaac drove out of the mansion first, with Eagle following in another car.Seeing that they were not heading to the hospital, Irene said, "You're going the wrong way. Take a left up ahead.""You're going to work," Isaac told her.Irene was speechless. "No, I'm going to—""If

Irene lifted a brow and wondered to herself if Isaac was a frequent guest here. Why else would the man greet him so warmly? Still, she had yet to find what this place was for."And who might this lovely lady be?" the man asked, turning towards Irene just then—this was the first time Isaac brought a woman here."My wife." Isaac nodded slightly. "Please show us the way to the horse stables."Irene's eyes widened and turned in surprise toward Isaac, asking softly, "Are we riding horses?""Yeah. So? Are you afraid?" Isaac asked.Horse-riding was certainly a novelty for Irene since she had never done it before.However, she wielded scalpels and cut people open, starting out with corpses while she was an intern.In that sense, what was there to fear about horses?Spurred by her ego, she reared her chin. "Don't underestimate me."Isaac chuckled. "Sure."They headed into the building and took a small cart to the stables.It was ten minutes until they stopped outside the stables.

Still, Isaac was worrying for nothing—perhaps thanks to the discipline she honed from her job, Irene rode with calmness and steadiness.Her strong guts also allowed her to take to riding like a duck to water!She certainly loved feeling the sensation of wind against her face as she sat on the horse's back, blowing away all her worries. "Hyah!"She spurred her horse on whimsically, allowing it to dash over the near-boundless meadow to her heart's content! Isaac had been worried that she would fall off her horse, and he was therefore surprised to find her riding so well.Trotting his horse to Isaac's side, Carl asked, "Did the missus learn to ride before?"Rarely was there a woman who could ride so quickly and steadily on their first try."It is her first time," Isaac replied.Carl was naturally astonished. "Woah, she has the gift.""Her gift is in saving people, actually."Despite his usual attitude, Isaac had always been proud about Irene's career as a doctor.Even if thi

Lulu told Martin very softly, "It's Johnny."Johnny was one of their colleagues and gossip would be inevitable if they were caught as newlyweds coming out to get another new bed when they already got one for their wedding!How could it not be weird? Johnny and the rest would certainly start gossiping or asking questions directly.How would Martin and Lulu answer them when that happened? Even if Martin was usually sharp and stern at his job, he was rather bumbling when it came to his own personal matters.Nodding repeatedly then, they moved to hide behind a nearby wardrobe. They waited a long while and only left when Johnny did.With that, they continued to look for a bed and made an order. However, when they were going to leave, someone called out, "Cap?"Lulu was speechless.They were seen despite all their effort, huh?Martin then asked her, "Should I turn around?"Lulu was even more speechless.Everyone in the team knew him, and he would be recognized straight away i

The voice from the other end was as loud as it was urgent. "Come in right now! The patient is going into cardiac arrest. I'll keep him alive for now!"Irene's heart skipped a beat, but she restrained her panic and answered, "Got it.""Take the back door when you come. The patient's family might stop you if you come from the front," Ray added."Got it," Irene repeated. As she put down her phone, she tried to act casual as she said, "I'm stopping here for the day. Ray Hall has just called, saying that Dennis is improving. I'll go take a look."She did not dare to mention the bad news in fear that Isaac would stop her from going. Isaac was in turn staring at her with a meaningful gaze."Really?" he asked, clearly skeptical."Yeah." She smiled. "Come with me if you don't believe me.""Alright. I will," Isaac said, rising to his feet. Irene was speechless—she thought that Isaac would not bother, and yet…Whatever. Anything could wait until after they head to the hospital."Le

Since Neil was not allowed near Irene with Eagle stopping him, he insisted on being given the evidence that Irene insisted on doing the surgery herself.He could certainly get confrontational against the hospital since he had the moral high ground—they hence gave him the video where Irene declared that she would take responsibility for everything that happened, along with the entire surgical process.It was not as if the hospital was trying to push the responsibility on Irene. For one, they never got Dennis's family to approve the surgery, and Irene broke hospital regulations when she insisted on going through with it. Since they were at fault, it would only be their reputation getting hurt if things got messy, which was why they had to push everything to Irene. …At the emergency room, Irene took part in resuscitating Dennis and they managed to save him.However, he remained unconscious, and whether he woke up was still to be seen.There was also no telling if something like

Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.

Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

"What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o

If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge

Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca

Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y

"I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
