Chapter 569

Irene glared coolly at Debbie, watching as she left.

Her cool composure faded, replaced by aloofness.

Debbie was getting more daring by the day.

She must come up with something soon, or James would get killed if hewas kept here.

"Debbie said that she is James's best friend," Erin asked just then. "Butyou don't seem to like her...?"

Not liking Debbie was putting it lightly.

“We just can't see eye to eye,” Irene replied, refraining from discussingthe past just then.

She must not let Debbie replace out that she already knew that Debbiestaged James's accident, or Debbie would resort to drastic measures."Have you been here every day?" she asked Erin.

"Yes," Erin replied.

Even so, Irene was convinced that James would not be safe here-theyhad to get him out.

Irene then watched as Irene massaged James's body, and could nothelp commenting, "You're very good at this."

“I've been learning from his physiotherapist for a while," Erin replied.The physiotherapist Zachary hired was certainly the best, being paidtwo grand per month and specializing in everything from patient care tomassages. It was not surprising that Erin would do well after learningfrom him.

Watching Erin for a while, Irene then asked, "You like James a lot, don'tyou?"

If there was no genuine affection there, no one would journey athousand miles, putting forth heart and soul to a person's care.

Erin lowered her head slightly just then, faint blushing appearing overher cheeks.

She did not know about that, only that she was so worried when shefound out about James's accident and was willing to stay to take careof him.

Perhaps she did like him-why else would she go so far for him?

"I'm going now," Irene told her.

Erin nodded.

Then, stopping at the doorway, she added, “Try not to leave this room."“I'm always here," Erin replied. "The physiotherapist would be around ifI'm not."

"Good. Well, I suspect James's accident was no accident, but I don'thave evidence yet. still, I'm concerned about his safety, so I'll be askingZachary to switch hospitals-"

"Who would want to hurt him?" Erin suddenly bounded up to Irene,looking her straight in the eyes.

"Calm down-I'm still investigating the matter at the moment,” Ireneassured her softly. "But you shouldn't tell anyone or let it show, alright?"Erin nodded. "I'll do anything for him."

Irene clapped Erin on the shoulder. "Very good. Anyway, I have to go-1still have things to do."

As Erin nodded again, Irene left the hospital and headed home.

Back at Rose Garden, Irene found Ricky carrying the dog and playing with Tommy, who waslaughing very happily, his little eyes narrowed into sits.

As she entered and took off her jacket and scar, Mrs. Watson came to take them, saying,“You really shouldn't leave the house during your postpartum recovery, maam.”

1 won't now.” Irene smiled.

While Mrs. Watson put away her clothes, Irene entered and said, "Ricky, come with me."They entered the study, and Ricky asked, “What's up? I was just having a good time withTommy there... Also, you were heavily pregnant the last time I saw you, but your belly is flatnow. Did you deliver the baby already? Is it a boy or a girl? Why didn't you bring the babyhome?"

irene felt her breath leave her lungs at the mention of the baby, while her heart clenched andher face turned pale.

What's wrong? Are you sick?" Ricky asked.
