Chapter 91

Irene’s heart still pounded with fear as she remembered how that manhad pushed her out of the window.

Nonetheless, Isaac asked softly, “Irene Spencer, I have a question:were you at Charity Hospital on the sixth of July?”

Irene drew a blank, but rasped, “I was working there as a doctor at thetime. Isn't it normal for me to be there?”

She had no idea why Isaac would talk

about that night, but now that Isaac had learned the truth from Whitney,check just to make sure that there was no

mistake this time. “In other words, you were there even though you wereIrene pursed her lips. “Yes, and I remember that very well because thatbe our wedding night,” she admitted. “You weren't at the mansion whenreceived Whitney's text, saying that she was busy and asking me totake over her shift. I went to the hospital —” “And met a wounded man,”“How did you know?" Irene narrowed her eyes,

cutting her short. “Are you still investigating

me?”

“Just yes or no answers,” Isaac told her, but his tone was gentle—

as it had been since the start.

Irene pursed her lips again. Still, she had no reason to

hide anything now that Isaac knew, so she simply showed her hand,that way, Isaac would

hate her, quickly divorce her, and finally let her go.

“Yes, I met a wounded man. He was being pursued by some assailantsand threatened me, but

I had no idea if he was a villain. He never hurt me, which was enough fcthat's when he started to get frisky. I did not resist —

in my head, my husband did not like me, and having sex with that man vmake him hate me. That's how I had another man on the night of our weThat's all there is to it.”

Isaac knew right then that those were details

that only he and the woman from that night would know, and that therewas no mistaking it this time.

The woman from that night was Irene Spencer.

“You never had a

boyfriend. Is that the only man you've been with?" he asked despite hisheart.

After all, he had Stan look into her, and her past was squeaky cleanwith no relationships with other men

“Yeah,” Irene replied, “I was

pregnant with his child. Aren't you going to divorce me already? I'm justanother disgusting woman.” As she held Isaac's gaze,

she thought to herself that she must have pushed him over the edgebecause of that massive ego of his On the other hand, Isaac was

left clutching his chest as an indescribable pain emanated within.

The miscarriage she had suffered... Was that baby his?

“The doctor told me you were recently in labor. Were you lying aboutthe miscarriage?”

he asked, hoping dearly that she was lying to him and actually gave birtreality, Irene ran

away and hid so that he did not replace out and hurt her child. After all, he vheinous enough to push her off a building!

Turning away, she said, “I never lied—

1 had twins, and I lost one due to the miscarriage. That's why I ran, bec;if you found out that I was still pregnant. But it all meant nothing, becausInside, she was repeatedly telling herself that she was not being meanto her own child—she had to lie and hide the truth since another doctorsaw that she was recently in labor.

On the other hand, Isaac was left pursing his lips.

He was almost father to twins, but ended up losing them because of hiswas

coming out of his vocal cords, which suddenly seemed as dry as a deseglinted with tears.

He felt like his heart had sunken to the bottom of an abyss.

After a long silence, he said nothing and left Irene’s ward.

Just as he opened the door, Stan approached him. “Mr. Jefferson...” Isaac raised a haiBecause right now, he needed the quietness. Stan understood and

stood aside without a word, knowing right then that his boss was not in his right mind.However, they ended up standing there for a long while, and feeling that his legs werealmost

getting numb, Stan tried again, “Sir, I've dealt with Whitney Cox. How is Ms. Spencer?latter was his actual concem- did something happen to her? Was that why Isaacappeared so dispirited, and even more so than when she was missing?

This was so awkward...

However, Isaac said nothing-it was as if he never heard Stan.

Stan became very worried, but still refrained from asking... And that was when

they both heard a loud thump coming from Irene’s ward!
