Irene asked, "What's big?"Finn kept gasping, "Someone… approached us… asking for the artificial heart."Irene was taken aback, but asked, "Who?""A patient with a congenital heart condition. He heard that our former director used our artificial heart before and he's willing to give it a try," Finn said, staring at her with an urgent look. "This is an opportunity."Irene knew that too, but she said, "Find out if he's really sick." She had to be cautious after what happened with Dennis Turner, and the artificial heart was not yet certified as well."Okay, I'll go right now," Finn said, rushing out of the room as quickly as he did when he arrived.At the same time, Irene asked for care workers from the hospital.She wanted the right people and cost was no issue. She also screened through the candidates before picking one. Mrs. Watson felt embarrassed that Irene got people to take care of her. She said, "I've really caused you so much trouble just because I fell sick. You even

Finn could not and would not understand. "Don't you understand? This is a very important moment for Hotmesh Research. Am I hearing things?"Irene sat behind her desk and said, "You heard me right.""Do you remember how everyone disliked you when you first arrived and constantly harassed you?" Finn huffed angrily. "Everyone now accepts you after so much has happened, seeing your abilities as they are and acknowledging them, but you're leaving? I wouldn't have accepted you if I knew you'd leave so quickly—I know it's a difficult job, but everyone has been working hard. Our seniors have even been working here for over ten years, but they still stick with their positions, while you're leaving just because of what happened with the former director? Do you really like this job?!"Irene lowered her gaze at his barrage of questions. She certainly wanted to keep working, but she had a family and children.She would be too selfish if she remained engrossed in her own pursuits, especially w

It was a routine stop to check for drunk drivers—the traffic police often patrolled the area since it was within the entertainment district. And Zachary still reeked of alcohol "Sir, would you please step out of the vehicle?" The traffic officer beckoned.Zachary was speechless, but had no choice other than to leave his car cooperatively. He had no idea how much he drank—it had been an entire night. The breathalyzer inevitably detected a sufficient blood alcohol level for the traffic officer to arrest Zachary for drunk driving, and they impounded his car.That also meant points deducted off his driving license, and he was sent to lockup pending bail.…At the hospital, Irene transplanted the artificial heart into the patient with a congenital heart defect. After all, she was the only person in the country who had ever performed that surgery. No other doctor was confident enough to do it, and they were also concerned that they would bring trouble down on their own heads, s

"What?!" Irene exclaimed in shock."It's just drunk-driving—it's not that big of a deal," Zachary quickly explained. "I'm basically fine. They're just telling me to have my family get me, but my mom won't come for me since it's been a while since I've been home. That's why I have to call you."In fact, Mrs. Slate was used to him not going home for up to half a month."Should I tell your mom?" Irene asked."Nope," Zachary replied.That left Irene musing. "Was it about last night?" "Yeah." Irene was left frowning. "Isaac was just saying that you'd tough it out. Why would you try drinking your sorrows away?""It was just a few glasses."Irene was speechless—a few glasses, and he ended up getting arrested?"What can I do for you?""Nothing. Anyway, time's up. I have to hang up now."And with that, the call was cut off."Haha…"Tommy was laughing and rolling around on the couch from Erin's tickles. Irene put down her phone then, rolled up her sleeves, and headed to the kit

Critical hit!Stan felt as if he had ten thousand lifepoints slashed off his existence just then!Did they have to hurt him so much?Meanwhile, James blinked at Stan. "Why don't you join us? You could come back later to catch up on your work.""Buzz off!" Stan was no masochist—he would be the only single man at the table. It would be so awkward!James said, "Just get yourself a woman soon and you won't be single anymore.""Does it look like Mr. Jefferson has another sister?" Stan snapped.Isaac wheeled on Stan, his aloof gaze slightly cold just then. "What was that?""Nothing!" Stan quickly smiled and turned to flee immediately.The elevator doors opened just then and Isaac strode inside with James behind him.As the elevator went down, Isaac said, "Try not to upset Stan too much from now on."James thought to himself that he was not really doing that, since he was just telling the truth…That was when Isaac finished. "His brain isn't that good. You'd drive him nuts."Jame

As James was forced to play with them, Tommy shouted from up front, "Uncle James, I'm over here! Come and get me!"At the same time, Erin called from behind, "I'm here!"James was speechless. Who was he supposed to go for?"Don't move, both of you! I'm coming!""Over here, over here!" Tommy waved excitedly at him.-Meanwhile Isaac entered the house to find Irene washing some food ingredients. "You left work early?" he asked.Irene turned, and seeing that it was him, she said, "I could say the same about you." He took the ingredients off her hands, saying, "I've made a reservation at a restaurant. We'll be eating outside—you don't have to cook.""I've already made soup. A few more dishes and I'll be done," she said. "How about we eat out tomorrow instead? Just stay home for the day."Most of the ingredients were washed and ready to be cooked—they would go bad if left around."Also, you should call us ahead of time if you're taking us out to eat," Irene pointed out just th

Isaac came home to take them out for lunch.When he returned, Sheryl had already packed up the baby's necessities, along with the stroller, which was in the car trunk.Isaac had the chauffeur put everything in the car while taking the baby off Irene's hands.The baby's skin was healthy and fair, and his tiny figure was utterly adorable.As Isaac gave him a peck on the cheek, he beamed, baring eight tiny white teeth that looked just like rice grains.He was drooling too, so Isaac had to wipe it off him."Oh, my," Isaac said just then. "Don't you think his lips look just like yours?"Tiny and pinkish, that was.Irene shot Isaac a glare. "Of course, I gave birth to him.""No, it's just the lips," Isaac said as he studied his baby. "His nose, eyes, and cheeks are all like mine."Irene sighed—she was the one who carried the baby for ten months, and it was certainly not easy. And both children had to resemble their father only. "Let's go!" Isaac said, putting a hand over her sh

Irene asked Isaac, "Why aren't you saying anything?"Isaac seemed busy playing with their baby, asking in return, "Say what?"It was no big deal for Zachary to stay in custody for a couple days so that he cooled off.This time, he was not being impulsive like before, and that meant he had matured enough so that people did not have to worry about him."Eat," Isaac said, and pushed the bowl of soup Irene poured for him back to her. "Have this too."Irene did not, and pushed it back to him. "You drink it. I poured it for you"Then, she added, "Make sure to finish it."Isaac was speechless.-James left to send Erin to the airport while the others drove home.This time, Tommy did not want to go in the same car, and insisted on taking the same car with Irene.As such, she sat at the backseat with Tommy sprawled in her lap, looking listless like a withering flower. The baby was sleeping quietly. "What's with him?" Isaac asked softly—the boy looked unhappy for a while now.Ire
