Chapter 348

Then, she felt herself fall into a firm, warm embrace!

She curled up by instinct, and turned to look at Isaac, asking softly, “What are you doing? You scared me.”

Isaac watched her and growled, “You're the one who stayed naked to seduce me.”

Irene was speechless. She did not even want to be naked, and he was the one she was for!

She whispered pleadingly, “Look, I'm tired, and I'm really late.”

“Yeah,” he said softly and carried her into the shower... and then did nothing.

She had been losing weight, which made him restrain himself. Suddenly, Mrs. Watson was knocking on the door. “Mr. Jefferson? Stan Hill is here. He says it's urgent.”

Irene heard her and shoved him. “Go.”

Isaac kept staring at her. “You don’t want me to leave at all, do you?” Irene was speechless—she did think so but would never say it. Smiling, she reached out from the bathtub, wrapping her hands around his neck and splashing him with crystalline drops of water. “Stay here, then,” Thud, thud.

Mrs. Watson knocked on the door again, urgently this time.

"Mr. Jefferson...?"

Isaac left the bathroom then, taking a towel as he did to wipe his drenched neck.

Opening the door, he asked, “What is it?"

Stan walked up to him with a grim look. “Something just came in, sir.” Stan handed him an envelope, and he opened in to find a photo.

His expression changed the instant he saw it.

"Come with me.”

He closed the door and headed to the study with Stan in tow.

They stayed there for little over ten minutes before leaving the mansion, and were gone by the time Irene. stepped out.

After a quick breakfast, she gave Tommy a peck on the cheek and said, “Please take care of Tommy, Mrs. Watson.”

“It's what I should do.” Mrs. Watson smiled.

Irene is earnestly grateful for someone as dutiful as Mrs. Watson, who took good care of Tommy so that she had nothing to worry about while at work.

She was just about to leave when she remembered something. “Has Isaac left?”

“Yes,” Mrs. Watson replied. “It sounded like something urgent.”

Irene nodded.

Along the way to Melville Hospital, she was checking her phone and saw more articles about Quincy. She would be in court today, and a verdict would be made public soon.

Did Stan come to talk about Quincy?

But it should have been a foregone conclusion, with no surprises expected...

Though she was puzzled, her car already arrived at the hospital, so she alighted.

When she arrived at Stephen's office, Stephen was already done with his rounds and was now reading through a patient's medical history. Looking up at her with a serious face, he growled, “Just arrived, did we?”

Having no excuse, Irene gingerly entered and softly said, “I didn’t mean to be late-"

“There is feedback from other doctors that we don’t have enough rest areas, so clean up the storeroom

so it can be used, and do it by today. Also, sort out every file on every patient we had over the last month.”

Irene gaped. “There's so much stuff in the storeroom. I don't think I can-"

“Add in the time you spent sleeping in, and it would be enough,” Stephen said mercilessly and left.

He had always been demanding toward Irene, and basically made her do everything. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Naturally, cleaning up the storeroom and sorting the patients’ files was her punishment.

She would never finish that in one day, but he told her to do it anyway. He was crazy!
