Chapter 67

Irene stroked her belly, and in her mind, she told her lost child, “See?The one who hurt you is receiving her just deserts.’ Closing the doorbehind herself, she sat on her bed and glanced at the glass of waterIsaac drank.

Ever since Whitney showed up, she never touched any food made bythe hospital, and only stuck to the food Mrs. Watson brought. Whitneyhad spiked her drink, but it somehow ended up with Isaac drinking it-taking the bullet for her, figuratively.

Whipping out her phone, she called Zachary and told him about Isaac'scondition.

“If push comes to shove, prescribe him something... or get him awoman.”

Since Whitney was obviously bent on making it count, she would haveused something with a high dosage.

Furthermore, Isaac also appeared at his wit's end. Her words, however,left Zachary speechless for a long while, though he eventually said,“Okay.” Irene hung up, but for some reason, could not fall asleep,ending up tossing and turning in bed for the rest of the night.Meanwhile, Zachary moved quickly and actually found Isaac a woman.“Irene told me that you were drugged, and you'd get stressed terribly ifyou have no relief. That's why she suggested that I bring you a woman-but don’t worry, she’s very clean...”

Isaac was sitting on the couch. His cheeks were unusually red, andlocks of hair were dangling before his head and blocking his dark,turbid gaze. He had already unbuttoned his shirt, baring his distinctcollarbones and muscular chest as he growled, “What did you say?Irene Spencer put you up to this?” Zachary nodded. “Of course. Howelse could I have found out that you were drugged? She called me, andshe’s worried that you were holding it in so much you would hurt yourhealth.”

Hah!

Isaac clenched his fist right then, his knuckles cracking audibly! Thiswas how she expressed lier concerns? By replaceing him anotherwoman?!

That accursed woman! If she was actually worried, she could just do itherself!

This was so frustrating!

Panting heavily, Isaac felt a fire flaring within his chest, almostsuffocating him because he could not vent it!

Kicking away the table in front of him, he bellowed, “Fuck off! I don’tneed women!” Zachary was startled-he had never seen Isaac gettingso angry, even cursing so vulgarly.

He quickly gestured for the woman to leave, while gingerly saying, “Ifyou're really feeling terrible, there are other options: sedatives, forexample

Isaac shot him a glare. “Get out!”

This time, Zachary was actually confused. “Come on, we're justconcerned.”

“Concerned?” Isaac laughed coldly. “She won't test my patience if shereally cared!”

What a hypocrite!

Zachary drew a blank for a while-it took him a while to realize that Isaacwas talking about Irene.

Stan did tell him before that Isaac had feelings for Irene... Could itpossibly be true? Blinking, he asked, “Are you actually in love withIrene Spencer?”

Isaac snorted in disdain. “Why would I be?"

“Guess so,” Zachary replied.

His response was calculated, however it was not as if Irene was aterrible woman who deserved no affection, but she was pregnant withsomeone else’s child.

Would Isaac be magnanimous enough to become the stepfather ofsomebody else’s child?

Zachary knew that he certainly would not.

As such, he launched a subtle jibe, attempting to have Isaac give up onIrene as soon as he could.

On the other hand, Isaac's whole body had already been burning, andhis own outburst only made him even more irritable.

As he rose to his feet, Zachary suggested, “If you don’t want to takemedicine or get laid, you could try a cold shower. That just might help.”Isaac ignored him, though he took a cold bath soon after returning tohis mansion.

Early next morning, Irene got discharged, but someone intercepted herjust as she was about to leave the hospital!
