Chapter 644

Seeing that her mother was beside herself with worry, Irene decidedthat it must be serious and she hurried to her mother's side. "What isit?"

“Look,” Sheryl handed Irene her phone, and Irene frowned when shesaw it.

There were blurry pictures of Isaac and Henry, but there was noquestion that it was them.

And the news was saying that Isaac had given his grandfather a stroke.“Look at all those terrible comments-it's so terrible! It's frustrating tolook at!"

Sheryl would have been fighting those keyboard warriors if she wasgood with technology.

Still, Irene told her to calm down. "I'll go take a look."

She knew that things were not as simple as they look.

Isaac no doubt had the influence to enforce a media blackout, but thefact that it still made the news meant there was a conspiracy at hand."What can you do?” Sheryl asked.

"Henry Jefferson was rushed to a hospital, wasn't he?" Irene said. "I'llreplace out the extent of his condition, so that they wouldn't keep smearingIsaac.”

Sheryl thought about it.

“Yeah... You're a doctor, and you could tell if he's faking it. Go on, then,”Sheryl said, and reminded Irene, "Be careful, though.”

"Yeah," Irene was going to leave when she remembered Erin, and shepulled Sheryl aside. "Mom, that's Erin Gooding-Isaac's mother adoptedher and raised her. Even if they're not related, there's a connectionbetween them, and it's good since Isaac turned his back against hisfamily and never had parents since a young age. Make her feel home ifI'm not back by the evening.”

Sheryl gave her hand a squeeze. "You're doing the right thing-don'tworry, I know what I should do."

Before she left, Irene told Erin, "I have something to attend to, soplease make yourself at home."

"Okay." Erin replied.

Getting in the car, Irene called Isaac. "Where are you?"

"At the hospital.”

"Which one?"

Issac was quiet for a while before telling that it was Central Hospital,and Irene arrived after half an hour.

He did not appear surprised that she showed up, and simply asked,"You saw?"

He was naturally referring to the news.

"Yeah," Irene replied. "What on earth went down?"

Isaac's expression turned cool.

It turned out that Henry and Harvey Gooding had joined forces to getlan and his girlfriend out of Blue Hill Asylum, and they were trying to gethim out of the country.

When Isaac intercepted them at the airport, however, Henry tried toreason with him.

However, Isaac was not about to let free a clear and present threat-whoknew when lan would return and wreak havoc?

But amid the confrontation, Henry fainted.

Isaac actually thought he was faking it, but it turned out that it was real.They quickly got an ambulance since they were not supposed to gothat far anyway. However, as if the whole thing had been planned inadvance, the incident made the news, with Isaac being labeledeverything from ingrate to conceited.

Still, Irene believed that even if Henry's health was poor, he should nothave fainted so easily.

“I think there's something up,” she said.

Isaac, however, said nothing.

In fact, he looked as if he did not care.

He was long since disenchanted by the old man's behavior.Moneypenny arrived just then. He told Irene, "Master Jefferson is up.He's asking to see you."
