Chapter 252

Irene froze instantly.

On the other hand, the woman didn’t notice her, and was still engrossed with caressing the desk...while imagining Isaac sitting there at work.

“Bah...”

Tommy suddenly murmured, and Debbie the secretary promptly snapped out of her fantasy.

She turned around but saw no one, although she found the door slightly ajar.

Still, as she quietly walked up and opened the door she found nobody in sight. Breathing a sigh in relief, she straightened her clothes and left, closing the door behind her.

Irene, who had been hiding behind a corner, appeared weirded out by Debbie’s behavior.

She looked down at Tommy, and took a deep breath to relax herself. The baby was blinking his large eyes and staying fixedly at her in turn, understanding none Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

of it.

Irene leaned in to give him a peck on the forehead, adjusted her hold on him, and then

turned to take the elevator downstairs.

It wasn’t until she returned inside the car that she relaxed.

Even so, she felt the creeps and cringed hard when she remembered what Debbie had

done.

At the driver's seat, the bodyguard asked, “Heading back, ma'am?” Irene nodded. “Yes.”

As they drove home, she got a call from Isaac.

“Where have you been?”

“I'll be back soon,” she replied.

“Okay.”

As Irene hung up, she glanced at Irene and saw that Tommy appeared a little sleepy, and seemed to be dozing off in her arms.

He was fast asleep when they returned to the house at Rose Garden, and as Irene entered, she found Isaac with Zachary and the doctor Zachary had recommended. Isaac walked up to take Tommy from her and headed further inside the house, and the doctor followed him. Irnee was just about to speak when Zachary told her, “Don’t worry—Dr. Kyle is just giving Tommy a checkup. I think Isaac's just a little worried.” Irene knew that and actually felt the same, so it was what she had in mind as well.

Moreover, a doctor that had Zachary's confidence would be no pushover.

“I'm going in,” she said anyway.

“Yeah, I'm coming with you.” Zachary agreed.

They both entered to find Dr. Kyle examining Tommy from head to toe, and took a blood sample because the baby had been drugged.

“I'll inform you right away if I find something,” Dr. Kyle said as he put everything back in his briefcase.

“I'll walk you out,” Zachary said.

After they were gone, Irene finally asked, “Was there a problem?” Isaac looked into her eyes. “No, Tommy's fine. Do you think I'd let his poisoner live?"

Irene stiffened, and tried to explain, “Ricky was threatened...”

“He was the one who did it. His reasons don't matter,” Isaac spat icily. “Well, have you calmed down now?” she asked.

“What, you're not upset?” Isaac studied her. “Are you siding with him just because he was threatened?”

From Isaac's standpoint, causes did not matter—Ricky did it, and therefore must pay the price! Not killing him was already mercy.

On the other hand, Irene wasn't feeling particularly sympathetic towards Ricky, but...
