Chapter 656

Seth took a step back in reflex-the man standing at the door projected ahorrific presence that extended to his surroundings.

"Who are you looking for?" Seth asked nonetheless.

Isaac simply ignored him-he was instead staring at Seth's name tag.His expression darkened when he saw the name “Seth Hedge".

Irene looked up then, and murmured, "Isaac?"

"You know each other?" Seth asked.

Isaac simply strode inside, standing by her bed as he looked at her.Though he felt concerned, his words were somehow not so. "Are youhappy now?"

Irene ignored his weird tone, dismissing it as yet another one of hismanic outbursts!

Smiling at Seth, she said, "Allow me to introduce you to my husband.”Seth smiled. "So he's your fiance? Hello..."

He held out a hand to Isaac, but Isaac ignored him once again.

Left hanging, Seth gingerly lowered his hand and quickly left the ward."I still have work to do, so I won't impose."

Irene shot Isaac a glare right then. "What's your problem?"

Isaac snorted coldly, ejecting the disgruntlement out of his chest."What's my problem?"

"He's offering you a handshake but you wouldn't even look at him!Can't you be a little more polite after he operated on me?"

"Polite? I'd have stopped you from getting your surgery here if I knewit's him," Isaac growled grumpily.

That actually left Irene stunned. "Wait, you know him?"

“Nope.” He seemed proud of it too.

"Then why would you say that? Why wouldn't you let me have thesurgery here if you knew it's him?"

"Because I saw his name in the pages of something important to acertain person,” Isaac growled, and he checked her face despite hisirritation.” Does it hurt?"

Irene glared at him nonetheless. "Isaac, I'm not feeling too good at themoment, so stop upsetting me."

Isaac frowned.

He upsetted her?

She was clearly the one who was upsetting him!

Still, he gave in since she just had surgery, even pulling her blanketover her. "Get some sleep. I'm staying here with you."

Irene closed her eyes then.

Meanwhile, Lulu Adams followed Zachary Slate back to his familyhome.

Mrs. Slate actually was shocked to see her, even though she heardfrom Zachary that she survived but lost her memories.

Lulu being alive left Mrs. Slate's conscience gnawing-she did try tohave Lulu killed, after all.

"Mom?" Zachary called out.

Coming to her senses then, Mrs. Slate smiled. "Oh! Do come in."Lulu could not help feeling burning spite inside as she studied the lookon Mrs. Slate's face, but she smiled at Mrs. Slate anyway. "Hello, Mrs.Slate."

"Hello, hello.” Mrs. Slate turned around, afraid to meet Lulu's eyes.Her gaze was so sharp it seemed to peer into her soul, spooking Mrs.Slate so much she did not dare to look at her in return.

Zachary then took Lulu by the hand, taking her upstairs.

Once inside his room, he wrapped his arms around her. “Let's getmarried, okay?"

There was coldness lurking behind Lulu's eyes.

He was making her stay under the same roof with her murderer, and hewas now asking her to marry him?

His conceit knew no bounds just because she forgot the past!

'l don't want to get married... I don't remember our relationship."There was no way in hell she would marry him-she only agreed to stayhere for payback against the woman who hurt her and this selfishbastard!

“Yes, I'm not in a rush anyway,” Zachary said. “We can rekindle ourrelationship anyway."

“It's the first time I'm here, so I should cook,” Lulu suddenly said, notwanting Zachary to keep hugging her.

It sickened her.

"Of course," Zachary replied. He then took her downstairs.

As Lulu headed in the kitchen, Zachary was going to help when hismother pulled him aside.

"Be honest with me, Zachary. Did she really lose her memory?"
