Mrs. Watson replied, “I have.’

Irene nodded and got off the couch, carrying Tommy back to their room.Mrs. Watson walked up to her, saying, “I can carry Tommy, ma'am."Irene smiled. "It's fine."

Mrs. Watson naturally did not press the issue and instead asked,"Should I start unpacking the stuff on the table?"

Irene turned to look at everything on the table, and wondered if Isaachad really asked for it, or Debbie had decided it on her own.Whichever it was, putting it away was better just to be safe.

"Just shelve it for now."

“It's all supplements, and you really need it right now... Debbie musthave brought it because Mr. Jefferson told her, and leaving it here is alittle wasteful..."

"Actually, getting too many supplements would be harmful instead,”Irene told Mrs. Watson mildly. "Just shelve it for now."

"Yes, Mrs. Jefferson.” Mrs. Watson did as she was told, while Irenereturned to her room.

Tommy usually napped in the afternoon, and he was now gettingdrowsy.

He soon dozed off as Irene carried him around, patting him on the backa little.

While he was almost estranged from her, he did not reject her-he waseven a little curious about her, the person who suddenly showed up inthe house, and he was nice enough about it.

Irene got a little sleepy after coaxing him to sleep, and since she wasfrail after labor, she dozed off too.

There was no telling how long had passed when the door suddenlyswung open.

Opening her eyes to replace that it was Sheryl, Irene’s mind cleared up alittle as she sat up, asking softly, "Did you replace him?"

"No." Sheryl kept her voice low as well, worried that she would wakeTommy. "The mansion was sold to someone else."

"What?!" Irene exclaimed in surprise. "But, how? I thought it was leftunder your name..."

"Everything your father left me was in the mansion. I only brought myclothes here," Sheryl said, appearing disappointed. "He must havestolen everything.”

On the other hand, Irene was pensive.

Why would Ricky sell everything in the house for no reason?

And where was he? Why would he go missing?

As she pondered for a reason, she got to her feet. “I'm going out.”"Where do you think you're going? Everything is gone," Sheryl said asshe caught her. "And you should be taking your time to rest.”

Irene looked her in the eye right then. "I'm worried that something hashappened to him. Did you know that Spencer Holdings went bankrupttoo?"

Sheryl certainly had no idea-she basically never left this apartment eversince Isaac arranged for her to babysit Tommy here, and only steppedout to take Tommy on short strolls without going too far.

She did not have much in the way of human contact either, andtherefore had no idea what was happening out there.

"How did that happen?"

“It's a long story," Irene did not go into detail, but it really would behorrific if Ricky really went missing just like Lulu did.

"But where are you even going to look? Isaac's not around... Maybeyou should call him?"

Irene understood that Sheryl was concerned, but Isaac had even moreproblems on his plate-calling him now might just get him distracted.The food that Debbie brought was a point in case-she was worriedabout eating it, so she had Mrs. Watson shelved it for now.

While she could call Isaac about this and ask if Debbie did it under hisinstructions, she just did not want him to have to worry about home too."I can't depend on him for everything," she said-or she would be aburden to Isaac, like Debbie had put it.

"Well, who would you go to?" Sheryl asked.

1'11 go to a precinct,” Irene said.

“Altight, but I'm coming with you.” Sheryl was worried.

“Its fine. Isaac has arranged a protection detail for US," Irene told her.”

They will be following US wherever we go."

“Atleast dress in layers.”

irene did so, wrapping herself up tightly.

Sheryl brought a cap and a scarf 10, to prevent Irene from catching a cold.

"You should always keep this on or your neck would get stiff,” Sheryl said as she wrapped thescarf around Irene's neck.

Irene, however, knew that Sheryl was helping her hide the scars on her face and neck.
