Neil's face contorted with rage. "You devious witch."Irene, however, was unmoved—she had seen through Neil's true nature and she was not interested in being petty like him!Dennis, however, almost passed out again from sheer frustration toward his son! Pointing at him, he snapped, "Don't you know that I'd be dead if she didn't insist on operating on me?! She put everything on the line to save me, but you sued her instead of thanking her?! Who taught you to be such an ingrate, huh?!"Neil retorted stubbornly, "She broke regulation—""Do you think I'd be alive if she followed regulation?!" Dennis huffed. Irene simply stood in her corner, watching quietly.Ray, worried that Dennis would get a stroke again, quickly rubbed his back. "You just woke up—try to stay calm or it'd hamper your recovery. Just talk things out with him calmly."Then, he turned toward Neil and said, "I'm the one who told your father. In my opinion, you made a mistake, which was why I decided on my own to te

Irene waved him off and said. "I'm fine. Probably just bad food. Get the car right now.""Where are we going?" Eagle asked."Back to the hospital," Finn said, answering on Irene's behalf since she looked really sick. Eagle quickly got the car without another question, while Finn helped Irene into it.As Eagle drove to the hospital, Finn asked in concern, "Are you alright?"Irene actually thought that her pain subsided since the initial pang. "Much better."Color was returning to her face as well. Heaving a sigh of relief, Finn said, "You must be under a lot of pressure lately. Maybe you were too anxious when you saw Director Turner faint?"Irene ran the possibilities through her mind.She did not eat anything cold or dirty, so it was not food.Maybe it was as Finn put it—she was under too much pressure. "Maybe!"Her stomachache completely faded when they reached the hospital.However, just as she alighted, James arrived and intercepted her, asking grimly, "What are you

Irene was confused. "Why is he being petty?"She turned to Isaac with a look as if to ask: what are you being petty about?Zachary then explained, "He doesn't like me calling you 'Irene'. I mean, we both go way back, and I've always been calling you 'Irene'. But he's so petty he forbade me from doing it—please reason with him if you have the time to do so."Irene was utterly speechless.These two grown men could not have been more childish! Meanwhile, Zachary appeared gleeful. "Don't you think he's petty, just like a child?"Irene stared at him then. "There's something I've been keeping from you, Zachary."Zachary was still smiling. "What is it?""Lulu got married," Irene replied.Zachary's smile stiffened even before she was finished, and it was hilarious to see it left freezing on his face.Naturally, it was Isaac's turn to tease him. "You shouldn't be petty. She's married already, right?"Zachary said nothing, but sprang to his feet in disbelief, staring at Irene as he s

Lulu's smile was forced as she quietly replied, "Yeah."Irene sharply noticed the change in Lulu's expression. Still, she blinked a couple times but said nothing.If Lulu was keeping quiet, it meant she did not want to tell Irene.As such, Irene simply smiled as if she never noticed. "When you stay with us—"Lulu cut her short before she could finish, "We're staying at a hotel, since there are many people in your home and you'd be inconvenienced. I'll help you out, and I'll be ready to leave once I'm done."Lulu was right—Irene did not expect her to bring her husband. Considering that, staying at her home might not be appropriate. "I'll book a hotel room for you then," Irene said as she whipped out her phone.Lulu did not stop her this time. "Thank you very much. It's your fault for being rich."Irene gave her a playful nudge. "Don't tease me."Once she booked a room and hung up, Lulu asked, "So? What's this favor you need?""Look, I didn't know you were pregnant—I would

Irene gingerly asked Lulu, "Are you alright? I just wanted to get a nicer hotel. I didn't think we would run into Zachary—""Irene." Lulu cut her short with a smile. "I'm fine."Studying Lulu's face for seconds, Irene decided to keep quiet after ensuring that she was.Changing the subject, she asked, "You've been away for a while. Anything you'd like to eat? It's my treat."Lulu thought about it. "Strawberry cake."Irene was speechless—they could get that anywhere!"Just cake? It's not that often you come back.""Fine, but after dinner."Martin joined them as they headed out to eat, before getting the strawberry cake as well."When can I take a look at the body?" Lulu asked. "Anytime. Isaac has already arranged everything with the hospital," Irene said. "But you should rest before you go—it was a long journey and you're pregnant.""No. If it's alright with you, I'd like to get it done soon and head home." It was obvious that Lulu did not want to linger, so Irene called Is
