Chapter 374

Since she entered the room, Irene had shown no interest in their conversation.

After all, everyone had secrets.

Seeing that she was not prying and that she was quite composed, Mick said, “Alright, I'll bring her in tomorrow.”

“And I'll have everything prepared and waiting,” Stephen replied. “She'll be the first one to be examined tomorrow—I know you're concerned, but I'll do my best to keep her away from the public.”

“I'm counting on you then,” Mick said, rising to his feet.

Stephen escorted him out, and soon returned.

Since Irene stili did not ask anything, Stephen nodded in approval. “You're not curious at all?"

“I actually am,” Irene admitted. “But I shouldn't pry, especially when patient confidentiality is concerned.” Stephen smiled, and pulled out a patient's file.

It was the patient from last time, whose photo bore a striking resemblance with Isaac's mother. Irene’s eyes widened when she saw it—this was the person Stephen and Mick were referring to? She then noticed that there were no medical conditions listed on the file. “What's her condition?” Irene asked.

“She's not sick,” Stephen replied.

“What?” Irene’s curiosity was piqued once again-why would the woman need a consultation if she was fine?

And there was a file of her as well, even though it was likely that this was the only copy, and Stephen was keeping it to himself without making any digital copies in the hospital databases.

Stephen said. “It's personal. I can't tell you unless it's necessary, but I hope you won't pry.”

Irene nodded. “Understood.”

“Check with the admin. Find out who is handling CT scans tomorrow— and you'll join me for surgery in the afternoon.”

“Okay,” Irene replied, and kept her hands in her lab coat as she headed to the CT scan room.

There, she spotted Henry and Moneypenny having a conversation as they headed to the patients’ wards.

They must be visiting Greg, and when Irene overheard them mentioning Isaac, she hid herself to eavesdrop.

“Master Isaac returned from Minerva yesterday, sir...but do you really think Yvaine Lynd is alive?”

Even as he said it, Moneypenny clearly sounded skeptical. “There's no one surviving in her family... Maybe it's just a doppelganger?” “Honestly, who knows? By all accounts, she should not have survived, and that woman might just be at doppelganger as you've put it, and not Yvaine.”

Henry had no clue either, but he did not care if his own daughter—in— law was alive, since he was basically rejoicing. “Thank goodness we managed to protect lan. Even if Light Group is basically bankrupt, we still

stand a chance now.”

“That's true.” Moneypenny sounded emotional. “If Master Isaac had refused the deal, it would be game over and Master lan would be crushed by debt.”

“Oh, I also made sure that Quincy Moore's marriage to Master Greg was annulled before her execution. She’s no longer a member of our family now, so the Moores collected her body.”

Henry listened but stayed silent—-now, they had pruned what had to be done away with, and saved what they needed.

Either way, their dynasty was going to suffer a decline.

Even so, Henry pinned all his hopes on lan. “I can only hope that the child can make me proud.”

Isaac certainly had before, but he would never serve the Jeffersons now that things had gone far beyond the point of no return.

“Can Master Greg be discharged now?” Moneypenny then asked. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I think so.” Henry said.

The thought that one of his sons being dead and the other crippled left Henry blaming himself considerably. “It's all my fault.”

His decisions only made things worse.

“No, sir,” Moneypenny assured him even as they walked off into the distance.

Irene emerged from hiding just then.

They had mentioned Yvaine Lynd... were they referring to Isaac's mother?
