Chapter 602

Irene was so worried that she cared for Tommy without slacking off atall, or even allowing her eyes to close once.

Everyone around her could see her working diligently but were unableto help. All they could do was to offer assistance wherever they could,even if it was just to relieve her a little.

Late at night, Irene was still sitting beside Tommy's bed, yawning fromheavy drowsiness.

Needing to stay awake, she said, "Mom, could you make me a coffee?"It hurt Sheryl to watch, but since there was not much else she could do,she sighed inwardly and left to get that coffee.

Still, Irene perked up a little after having her coffee and told Sheryl, "It'slate, Mom. You should go to sleep.”

"Why don't you let me watch Tommy instead?" Sheryl asked.

“I'm worried if I'm not watching him," Irene replied.

Sheryl therefore had no choice but return to her room and sleep.Meanwhile, Tommy, who was fidgeting in his sleep, suddenly woke up.Though still muddled, he was blabbering, "Papa..."

Irene scooped him up in her arms, gently coaxing him to sleep again.“It's okay. Mama's here."

He was sleepy but would wake up from time to time anyway, though hewould not throw a fit in Irene's arms.

Naturally, he was feeling frail as well due to the mild fever that lastedfor a while now, and Irene had to help him drink past midnight for thefever to subside a little.

Still, although he had no appetite for a few days now, he started eatingin the morning and perked up as well.

Sheryl was holding him as she said, "He finally looks better."

Irene was relieved inwardly as she looked on as well.

Watching her just then, Sheryl asked, "Why don't you get some sleep?”Irene stretched herself-she was tired, but it was not yet 24 hours, soshe said, "I'll wait a little longer."

Being a mother herself, Sheryl knew what Irene was thinking and so,she did not keep trying to talk Irene out of it.

Still, Sheryl became delighted as she checked under Tommy's clothes."Oh, look-his rash is fading!"

Irene saw it too and satisfaction showed in her eyes-the days of hardwork were not wasted. She then picked up her phone and called Isaac.Soon, her call got through, and her words were as simple as they weredirect. “Tommy's condition is improving. The antidote is working."

In other words, she was saying that they could get rid of Debbie now.Even as she spoke, there was a savage edge in her eyes like neverbefore." I don't care what it takes-I never want to see her again.”

Isaac could not have agreed more.

The only fate that awaited those who would hurt Tommy was death!

“I'll get it done sooner," he replied, and Irene hung up.

Throwing her phone aside, she nestled on the couch.

Isaac's people were constantly shadowing Debbie to keep track of herwhereabouts, as well as trying to replace the antidote for Tommy.However, they were beaten to the punch before Isaac could order a hiton her, and it turned out to be Ember Lindt and Winston Dickens.Ember hated Debbie in the first place, and needed money urgentlysince Zachary refused to pay her anything.

It was the same for Winston too, and both of them hence planned thekidnapping together, with Winston luring Debbie out, knocking her outwith a sedative and whisking her off to an unfinished building.

“I was just about to report in, sir, but someone beat US to it. They'vetaken her to an unfinished building out in the suburbs,” one of the menfollowing Debbie said.

Isaac's curiosity was actually piqued. "Let's go." They shall see howmany enemies she had made!
