Along the way, Irene felt tense—she was at once excited and hopeful.She felt really charged even after days of running about without food or sleep.Zachary passed her a piece of bread. "Eat. Don't look half-dead when you meet Isaac again.""You're the one who looks half-dead," Irene retorted even as she took it.Still, Zachary was relaxed to know that Isaac might be fine. "I knew it. You're trying to make yourself look pitiful so that Isaac would feel sorry for you, right?"Irene really wanted to roll her eyes at him. "You have a wonderful imagination."Zachary chuckled.Nonetheless, Irene ate the bread and drank some water, immediately feeling revitalized after she did.Zachary was going to tell her to get some sleep as well, but she probably would not fall asleep given her tense state. He said nothing, while hoping that the helicopter would move faster and take them back to Franconia.Naturally, the wait was grilling, and Irene was constantly checking the time.Once the

Irene was absolutely fuming—how could Stan still be hesitant even now? "Spit it already," she snapped. "Don't leave me hanging, or I might die from a heart attack!"She was not actually joking—her heart could leap out of throat as she kept watching Stan being hesitant to speak.He began, "I just saw the news about the plane crash…""So?" Zachary pressed, feeling anxious too. "Get to the point!""I am getting to the point," Stan said sternly. "Don't interrupt, please?"And with that, the other three turned silent and stared fixedly at him, leaving him a little speechless. "Remember the captain? I saw him jump out of the plane with us with my own eyes," Stan replied. "But the news is saying that he and his co-pilot died the same way. It's no surprise that the co-pilot was killed after I knocked him out, but the captain should have survived after landing safely like me instead of dying like his co-pilot."James promptly understood what Stan was getting at, and his expression tur

Bob hated Ricky for his betrayal, and he fired a shot straight at Ricky before the police officers could subdue him!However, Martin York stepped in the bullet's way, and the shot hit him on the back.He was rushed to the hospital right away for emergency surgery, but the bullet was lodged too close to Martin's heart. They needed the best heart surgeons to extract it, or the risk would be too serious.While the hospital arranged for the surgery, Lulu Adams was still at home.She knew about the operation today, and although she never received word, she was afraid to call Martin since she might disturb him while he was on the job.When she had enough of waiting, she headed straight to the precinct, where the higher-ups were interrogating Bob.Lulu's worries eased, since it seemed that the operation was a success, and Ricky was the most vulnerable asset—he would definitely be killed if the crime ring realized he was the mole.Finding Johnny, one of Martin's squadmates, she asked, "

Irene was not even in Zidonia, but she could hear the urgency in Lulu's voice.Irene asked, "Is it Ricky?" "No, it's M-Martin…" Lulu said and pleaded, "Irene, I don't have much time. Please hurry…""Is the baby coming too?!" Irene gasped. "Yes, but listen—Martin was shot… they say the bullet was near his heart… S-Save him…"Irene was afraid of telling Lulu that she was abroad right then. "Got it. I'll be right over."Irene hung up, and she was planning to call James when she realized that it would take her over ten hours to return to Zidonia.It was far too long, and way past the optimal time to treat Martin.She quickly called Finn Crowe instead—thankfully, the youth was reliable as ever, and he quickly answered her call. "Director Spencer?" "Don't say a thing, Finn. Just listen to my instructions: go to Brian Adams and ask him to head over to New Kent. I'll send you the exact address later."She had picked Brian Adams to succeed her as director of Hotmesh because she ha

Irene quickly and hastily treated her sprain before leaving.Tommy ran up to her, hugging her leg. "Mommy, where are you going? Can't you play with me? This place is really fun. I really like it here!""Sorry, Mommy's busy," Irene said, tenderly petting his little head. "You stay here and listen to Grandma."Tommy blinked at her. "Mommy…?"Eagle came and scooped Tommy up in his arms. "I'll keep them safe, ma'am."Irene certainly believed in Eagle and nodded. "I'm counting on you.""It's what I should do," Eagle replied.As Irene started down the stairs, Eagle called out to her again. "Ma'am…"Irene turned. "Yeah?"Eagle headed inside his room and brought her a bottle of ointment."People in my line of work always have some medication prepared. Just spray it on the affected area, and it will ease the swelling.""Thank you," Irene said."You're welcome," Eagle replied. - James arrived just as Irene stepped out of the front door of the castle, and he took her straight to t

Seeing Lulu's pleading look, Pippa could not refuse Lulu and she ran to the surgery wing again. However, they were still operating on Martin.When Johnny saw Pippa return, she said, "The obstetrician says Lulu's having difficulty in labor and suggested a C-section, but she refused. I think she wants to wait and make sure the captain is safe… But I think if he really dies, she won't have the will to live.""I'll talk to her." Johnny was left bristling from the information and ran to the maternity ward with Pippa in tow.Johnny entered the maternity ward with the obstetrician's approval, and he quickly tried to reason with Lulu as soon as she saw her. "Lulu, the captain's fate is unknown, but that's exactly why you have to deliver his child for posterity! Continue the bloodline…"Lulu feebly closed her eyes right then, refusing to hear a word of it.She would have agreed to C-section if the child were Martin's.As a matter of fact, she now regretted listening to Martin about keep

Johnny refused to listen to or to understand Lulu. But as the stalemate persisted, Pippa suddenly had an idea. She whipped out her phone to answer it. "Hello? Oh! The surgery is done? Thank goodness… That's great news!"Johnny's eyes lit up in turn. "Is it about the captain's surgery?!"Pippa nodded. "Yes. They're saying it was a success." Lulu's hand eased from the doorframe right then.She smiled, rejoicing, although her eyes still welled with tears. Pursing her parched lips, Lulu said, "As long as he’s alright.""Can you undergo the C-section now?" Johnny asked.Lulu said nothing, but it was basically a silent approval.After they wheeled her into the delivery room, Johnny was about to turn and leave when Pippa stopped him."I was lying, Johnny," Pippa said.Johnny looked at her in surprise, but he was soon frowning. He obviously understood what Pippa meant."That call just now…""No one called me," Pippa admitted."It’s fine. It’s better this way." Johnny, howe

Irene lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. "Isaac really wants a daughter."Lulu was silent for a moment. "How could he be so greedy?""He never mentioned it, actually," Irene said quietly. "I just think it's regrettable I can't grant him his wish.""Then you're being paranoid," Lulu told Irene. "Why pressure yourself when he's not saying anything?""Fine, I'm the greedy one, alright?" Irene smiled. "You are greedy. You'd want a son if you had daughters instead… but that's human greed for you. It's endless, and humans only ever ask for more," Lulu said, suddenly staring at the ceiling. "Irene… I just want to live the rest of my life peacefully with Martin.""And you will," Irene said. "Martin's surgery was a success."Lulu pursed her lips in silence, while Irene suddenly apologized—Johnny had told Irene everything and that Ricky would have been the one getting shot if not for Martin.In the end, Ricky was the one who caused them so much trouble.Sighing, Irene said, "I didn
