Chapter 346

Ricky had dropped right in front of her!

As Irene worriedly went up to check him, Lulu asked, “Did we scare himthat badly?”

Irene checked Ricky's breathing while replying, “He’s an adult. There'sno way he'd get spooked that easy.”

If he were, he would be everyone's laughing stock once word of it getsout!

And unsurprisingly, Ricky was playing dead-which was a little insultingto Irene and Lulu, considering that they were both doctors.

Knowing that he was fine, Irene said, “What girl would marry you ifsomething like that would leave you passed out? All girls love bravemen and having a sense of security-I guess you're going to be aloneforever.”

Ricky opened his eyes right then and leaped off the floor, dustinghimself although he was not actually dirty.

“Killjoy.”

Lulu giggled. “Playing dead around doctors doesn't even make sense.”Ricky pouted and shot back, “There are no men who would fall forwomen like you.”

Irene shrugged. “Sorry to disappoint you, then-we're both taken.”Ricky was left at a loss of words, and admitted to himself that he couldnot defeat them right there.

“I'm going to bed.”

“Wait.” Irene stopped him just as she was about to leave. “I need afavor.”

“What is it?" Ricky asked.

Passing her the document folder, she said, “Find a way to investigatethis person.”

Ricky read through the file, but the details were vague since there wasonly the patient's name, address, and a brief summary of her medicalhistory.

When he saw that it was a pregnant woman, he asked excitedly, “IsIsaac having an affair?”

Irene glared at him right then. “What are you talking about?!"

“Why else would you ask me to investigate a pregnant woman?" Rickypointed out. “Anyway, just come back here with Tommy if he really isdumping you. I'll work hard to make a living.”

Irene rolled her eyes. How did he jump to that conclusion?

“No way!” Lulu became prying as well, since she had been watching fora while. “He's cheating on you already? To think that I actually had agood opinion on him before...”

“Shut up, both of you,” Irene snapped seriously. “This has nothing to dowith him. I just replace this person weird, and I want to know more.”

Ricky and Lulu stopped joking then, with Ricky saying, “Alright, I'll havesomething soon.”

Irene nodded. “I'm going back now.”

“It's late. Why don't you just stay the night?” Rick asked.

“It's been a day since I saw Tornmy. I want to check on him,” Irene said,rising to her feet.

Ricky had no reason to insist, since she had her own family.

When Irene returned to the mansion, only Mrs. Watson returned to theliving room.

As she changed out of her shoes, she told Mrs. Watson, “I'm hungry.”She had not eaten anything until now, after all.

Mrs. Watson had kept some food heated for her so that she could eatanytime, and while Mrs. Watson put everything on the table, shewashed her hands and headed to the dining room.

As she took her seat, the scrumptious scent of food left her stomachgrowling, and she was stopping short of salivating.

While she started eating, however, Mrs. Watson told her, “Mr. Jeffersonhasn't eaten yet.”

She usually would not meddle, but Isaac did not eat at all and wasstaying in his room.

Irene looked up and asked, “Is he sick?"

“How should I know? I just work here,” Mrs. Watsons complained. “Youshare a bed with him, and you should be aware if anything is wrongwith him.”

From her point of view, Irene was so busy she would not care for Isaacor her family.

Still, even as Irene slowly chewed her food now, it did not seem astasty as a moment before.

In fact, she had been enjoying it, since she would otherwise be toopreoccupied that Isaac had another woman in his heart. Breathing along sigh, she said, “Yeah.”

“You're married. You should care more for each other,” Mrs. Watsontold her.

Irene nodded. “Yeah. I wasn't being considerate.”
