Chapter 537

There were those who willfully made the wrong choices for short termprofits.

Irene certainly learned her lesson this time.

"Do you know what's going to happen if you insist on being sostubborn?" Her interrogator glared at her. "You're pregnant. Shouldn'tyou think of your child, even if you don't care about yourself?"

Irene's fingers clenched. "I told you-I admit to damaging the researcheffort, and I'll take my punishment accordingly.”

After all, the hospital could only fire her and demand compensation, butit seems that the Minervan government wanted to make her crime abigger issue than it was.

She knew all too well that if she confessed, they would use her tocause an international conflict.

Her interrogators suddenly stopped to whisper to each other.

Irene could not hear what they were saying, but it definitely was nothinggood given the looks on their faces.

And her hunch proved right soon enough.

It seemed that they could not get what they wanted from Irene, andtherefore needed to make her yield in another way-by getting into herhead.

She had been locked up in a precinct because Mead Clinic had alreadyfiled a lawsuit against her, but her interrogators lost patience since ithas been five interrogations now and they needed something moredrastic!

"Where are you taking me?" Irene asked, noticing that they were notreturning to her usual cell.

They did not answer and instead snapped, "Shut up.”

A little afraid now, Irene gingerly held her own belly, worried that herchild would be hurt.

The more they walked, the darker and quieter the walkway seemed tobe.

Clang.

A steel door opened and Irene stiffened.

Before she could get a good look, she was pushed into a cell.

This one was tiny and so dark she could not even see her own hands.She then heard footsteps of her escort leaving.

Not knowing where she was, she slowly sat down on the cold floor.Everything felt chilly—the air, her surroundings, her heart.

She could not help shuddering even as she held herself firmly.

She then remembered Isaac, and wondered if he was worried that shewent missing again.

Was he looking for her?

She feared that she would never see him again and felt so vulnerable for once that she couldcry.

“Isaac...”

In this place that was so dark no one could discern her feelings and yet inspired fear anyway,she hoped so much that she would suddenly wake up from this nightmare, and that shewould suddenly be home again, with Tommy, Sheryl, and Isaac beside her.

But it was just the beginning...
