Chapter 385
Irene pursed her lips–she was aware that she should be staying home right now to take care of Tommy.
However, Stephen Carr would be examining Layla Gooding today, and there is a possibility that he would operate
on her. Irene herself might be allowed to watch, and it would allow her to find out her secret.
That was why she must go to the hospital today.
“I’ll try to come home earlier, okay?”
She was not great in trying to appeal, and actually came off stiff.
Isaac was speechless, so she wrapped her arms around his neck and cajoled, “Pretty please?”
Even though it was not her best skill, Isaac enjoyed her trying to cozy up to him.
Smiling faintly, he said, “Get home by five.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Home by five, got it.”
“Good.”
Isaac finally agreed to it, and Irene gave him a peck on the lips. “I’ll have something to tell you by then.”
“Okay, and stay away from Harvey Gooding,” Isaac told her.
“Yes, definitely,” Irene promised–it was not easy to calm Isaac down, and she was not about to upset him again.
After a brief silence, he asked, “Do you believe in me? If that’s so, why were you still upset with me?”
Isaac gave her a cool look–even if it was obvious the footage had been doctored, he was upset because Harvey and
Irene were clearly closer now.
Naturally, he did not want anyone near his woman.
“I’ll make him leave as soon as possible.”
Irene understood that Isaac was being a little petty, but him being childish was really adorable. It was such a far cry
from his usual lofty and aloof appearance, but every side of him was bewitching nonetheless.
Moreover, his childish reaction would send her heart pounding, allowing her to feel that he was flesh and blood–a
person with his own feelings.
Irene left the room after changing to check on Tommy. Mrs. Watson told her that his fever flared once in the night,
but she had already fed him medicine and he stayed asleep until now.
Still, Irene felt guilty as she watched Tommy–despite being his mother, she was never with him.
“I’m sorry, baby…”
“Babies get sick often,” Mrs. Watson told Irene then. “You don’t have to worry–I’ll take good care of him.”
Irene was certainly more than grateful toward Mrs. Watson–she would not be able to work without worry if not for
the latter, and she would always keep that in her heart.
Since she had certain things to prepare, she left early for the hospital, having nothing but a glass of warm milk..
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStephen arrived at the hospital before she did, and Mick Gooding was there with Layla too.
“I’ll be discussing the surgery with Mick, so bring his wife to undergo a CT scan. I’ve already checked–there won’t be
anyone there now, so you can do it yourself and bring the scan results back.”
“Okay,” Irene replied.
She glanced at Layla, who was dressed plainly but remained stunning anyway, and she had the air of someone
affable and mild–mannered.
“Please come with me,” Irene said.
Since they met yesterday, Layla did not keep her distance, and smiled as she followed.
“You mentioned having headaches last night. Is your condition neurological?” Irene asked.
Layla nodded. “Mick told me that it’s because I have a tumor in my brain.”
Irene realized with a start just then.
Since there were not many people in the hospital at the time, Layla was the first to get a CT scan after Stephen
pulled some strings. When she was done, the scan results were also quickly passed to her.
As Irene checked it, however, her face fell.
The thing in her brain was no tumor…
