Chapter 664

Irene could not care less that her face was heavily bandaged.

She aligned and dashed into the Twinrise office building, headingstraight for the front desk when she spotted James stepping out."What are you doing here?" he asked.

“I'm looking for Isaac. Where is he?" Irene asked right away.

"He's out to deal with something,” James said. "Is it urgent? Do youwant me to call him back right now?"

Irene thought about it, but gave up. "It's fine."

She decided that she could wait until Isaac came back, and she turnedto leave.

When she returned to the hospital, she managed to make it back to herward before Seth did his rounds and he helped her change herbandages.

"Can I stay home to recover instead?" Irene asked just then.

Seth chuckled. "Do you hate the smell here? Aren't you a doctoryourself?"

“No, it's just cabin fever," Irene said.

"Well, sure. Actually, if you don't want to come here, I can visit yourhome to change your bandages every other day too."

Irene quickly rejected the offer-Isaac was already upset, and themisunderstanding would worsen if she allowed Seth in her house."Forget it. I think I'll just stay here!"

Seth smiled. "You seemed afraid of me visiting your house."

"Nope." Irene denied it, then asked, "By the way, why did you comeback to Zidonia?"

Seth lowered his head to hide his reaction, but he then grinned."Business is booming here. Can't you see that all our wards are full?They're all young women too-it seems that they're not content with theirlooks."

Irene was actually left in awe, but it was true-ladies did get selfconscious about their looks these days, neglecting their health instead,which was disagreeable for Irene.

“You don't think that's good? But if you think about it in another way, ourhospital would be bankrupt if not for them." Seth chuckled. "Actually, Ihave a favor to ask... I don't know if you'd help, though.”

"What is it?" Irene asked.

“You mentioned that you worked at Mead Clinic before, yes? I have arelative who has a heart condition, and I was wondering if you couldtake a look."

“But as you can see, I can't work in this condition-it's inconvenient.Also, isn't it good that your relative is in Minerva, since medical facilitiesthere are as good as the stuff we have here?"

Irene was not rejecting him, but stating the truth.

Moreover, Jeff Cartman was their mutual friend, and Jeff could help asfar as cardiovascular conditions were concerned.

Seth smiled. "Actually, my relative is in the country. I just wanted adiagnosis, or is that a no?"

Irene quickly said, "No..."

"Oh? So what's it actually gonna be?" Seth asked, almost pushysuddenly.

Irene did a double take, surprised by Seth's attitude.

She pursed her lips. "You did a perfect job with my surgery, and I oweyou that... How about I check on your relative when I'm better?"“Thank you,” Seth said.

Irene actually felt a little concerned just then.

It felt like Seth was making a deal-an equivalent exchange with her, asif all old sentiment was gone.

Though she smiled faintly without answering, her impression of Sethhad changed.

He certainly was not mild and soft-spoken like his younger self, but timedoes change everything-including people.

The thought relieved her when she understood that, and since Sethwas not particularly important to her, she did not pay him much heed.After he changed her bandages, she reseted in the ward until around 3PM before returning home, and she waited for Isaac to come home inthe evening to clear the air.

Even so, he never returned, and she got a bombshell instead!
