Putting down her belongings, Irene said, "I'll go talk to him.""It won't work even if you go—Brian Adam isn't going to say yes," Finn told her. "He was not the one who performed the surgery, so how would he answer the details when asked?"Irene remained adamant. "I could make a list of all the details…"Frustrated, Finn snapped, "You don't believe me? Fine. Go to him yourself!"However, it was not as if Irene doubted Finn—she just thought it was wrong to attend a publicity event when she was leaving. Moreover, she hated the spotlight.As such, she went looking for Brian.But even before she could say a word, he told her as soon as he saw her, "I'm not going. Don't try to talk me into it.""You're saying no even before I said a thing?" Irene asked."I didn't perform the surgery. I'd just be stealing your credit if I went," he replied."You're taking over as director soon anyway. It's nothing," she insisted. In fact, they had already agreed that he would take over as direct

The patient naturally sided with Irene, supporting her choice. "Very well!" the media representatives said.After all, everything from the promotional efforts to planning was already completed. Having to edit out the sensationalism was much more preferable to throwing away everything they had prepared. Irene was a little nervous since she was not used to facing the media, but the composure she honed from her career quickly calmed her down.At the start of the livestream, the patients' parents described their child's condition and how difficult it was to seek medical treatment. They went on to tell everyone that their child was only saved because Hotmesh Research managed to develop an artificial heart in time, and that gave their child a chance to live.The host then asked Irene, "Were you nervous when you took the scalpel, Dr. Spencer?""That would hinder my performance," Irene replied calmly. "Nerves have no place in this line of work.""Indeed, most doctors possess a stout h

Irene's heart was pounding. "What is it?""I'm going on a business trip," Isaac said as he put a slice of steak on her plate. "This one might take longer.""How long?" Irene asked."Half a month," Isaac said, looking at her just then. "James found a good servant, and they will come by tomorrow…""You have nothing to worry about," Irene said, looking between Sheryl and Isaac. "I've resigned. I'll take care of things at home."Isaac's expression clearly stiffened and he looked at her pointedly.Before he could speak, Irene said, "I think I've really not spent any time with my children. I would like to take care of things at home now."She always understood that Isaac had to bear with her a lot and had to work online most of the time.He must have had to leave since one too many issues were piling for a while now."I can't help with your work, so I'll take care of things at home, so that you have nothing to worry about here."Isaac slowly lowered his eyes but said nothing.He k

Irene could clearly hear Isaac panting heavily as he turned and lay down beside her, pulling their blanket over her.Irene did not move—she needed time to calm herself down. It was a while before she did, and she had always been the cool-headed one.Isaac, however, did not share her temperament. He got out of bed, growling, "I need a cold shower.""That's bad," she said, getting up to put on her clothes. Then, pouring him a glass of cold water, she said, "Here. Drink."Isaac stared at Irene for a while before taking it and having a couple of sips."Can't sleep?" Irene then asked."Yeah, so?" Isaac asked."We still have time," she replied. "Let's go catch a movie with Tommy." Isaac was not going to fall asleep anytime soon, and that went for her as well."Okay," Isaac said, and both of them got up, dressed up casually, and headed downstairs to Tommy. Their son was just about to go to bed and he blinked in confusion. "Mommy, weren't you sleeping?""Daddy and I will take

Caught by surprise, Martin did a double take.Still, he soon became serious. "How do you know about Ricky Spencer? Anyway, we've already gathered solid evidence on that case. You know how serious it is too, since he's a murder suspect. You really shouldn't lose sleep over a person like him even if you were close. He's not worth it!"Lulu stared at Martin seriously in return. "He's Irene's stepbrother. I've always thought of him as my younger brother too." Martin actually frowned at that and sat down.That was a real shock, but the law had no place for sentiment.Anyone who committed a crime must bear the consequences, just like how adults should take responsibility for all their actions.Even so, Martin tried to assure Lulu. "Maybe there's a mistake. Don't worry about—just focus on the baby."Lulu understood that he wanted to calm her down, and she held his hand, squeezing it. "Try to think of something."Martin grinned. "Alright, alright. Just don't worry too much about it an

It was midnight, and a sea breeze blew over the crystalline surface of the waters, sending the salty odor in the air up to the shore.It was so cold that anyone would be shivering, but the police officers hiding in the steel containers at the port remained unaffected. Their eyes were sharp and focused as they monitored the situation outside.They were all concentrating on a certain ship, thanks to a tip from their mole. Once there was movement, everyone would storm it and make arrests. Because their quarries were planning to move the ship to international waters to make their trade, they had to make their move ahead of time—mobility was poor at sea, and they must apprehend everyone in one swift stroke before the ship left!Once the ship started its engine, the lieutenant barked orders to move!They surrounded the ship and kept it berthed in the port, and moved in to make arrests.Everyone on the ship was an outlaw, trading objects and substances that hurt others as much as thems

Ricky's whole body was trembling as he rasped, "Who's the father?"Lulu walked up to him but did not answer, instead asking, "Were you involved in that trafficking ring?"Ricky's eyes, however, were red and fixed on her. "Did you kiss and make up with Zachary?"Martin's fork paused just as he was about to reach for another meatball, but he soon carried on as if he heard nothing.At the same time, Lulu was staring patiently at Ricky. "Don't worry about me. You have to tell me everything right now, so that I know how to help you—""Hah!" Ricky snorted. "You're going to help me? How? Can you bend the law to your will?!"Lulu put a hand on his shoulder. "Ricky…""Don't say my name!" Ricky bellowed in agitation.Martin looked up then. "You don't have to talk if you don't want to do it. Lulu, you can go now."Lulu turned to him. "Martin, give me some time…""Don't you see that he's being hostile?" Martin pointed out. "You won't come to an agreement with him anytime soon."Ricky th

The glow in Lulu's eyes slowly faded. She murmured, "But… is he still going to prison?""That's inevitable, but it's better than being executed." Martin sighed, then turned to Ricky. "What do you think?"Lulu turned to Ricky too. "Ricky…""I'll do it," Ricky said very calmly. He knew how grave his crimes were, and no matter what he did to atone, he would not be free from punishment.In fact, Martin's idea was the best."Go home. Leave the rest to me," Martin said, helping her out of the interrogation room.Lulu understood that she would cause trouble for Martin if he stayed too long as well, and she was certainly not worried with him in charge.Even so…She turned toward Ricky, who pursed his lips and smiled. "You should go."With that, Lulu left the interrogation room, and Martin walked with her out of the precinct."I can't go yet," he told her. "But you haven't slept well, have you? Try to get some sleep. I'll buy breakfast when I get home.""It's fine," Lulu said. "Wha
