Isaac promptly rushed into Irene“s ward, where he found her on the floolbeside her bed, her plastered leg sprawled limply on the floor.

Frowning as he moved over to help her up, he restrained his temperand asked, "What are

you doing? still trying to run when your foot is in that condition?”

Irene shook her head. Right now, she had no strength to run even if herlegs were fine.

She was the woman who had

On the other hand, Irene closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

He never left, however, and she actually fell asleep

amidst her pretense.

When she opened her eyes again, Isaac was still standing by her bed,so she quickly closed her

eyes again. Isaac saw that,

however. “You should eat something now that you're up.”

Irene opened her eyes and stared at him, utterly confused by what he wWas tormenting her such fun to him?

She slowly pushed herself up, with Isaac helping her.

Nonetheless, her tone was still cold. “What are you up to now?”

Isaac did not bother to explain—

it made sense that he was the villain to her now, so he simply looked doHe never told Irene that he was the man from that night. She worked sobecause of his subordinates’ incompetence.

She must hate him for that.

Moreover, he was

not just reluctant to tell her... he was actually afraid to tell her! “You didn’she actually felt a little indignant that Irene was being so cold to Isaac.“Please, Mrs. Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson has never been this nice toeveryone.”

However, it was

mention of the agreement that left Irene feeling deflated andspeechless.

She had signed that agreement, and she was the one who broke

it. Be that as it may, she would be immoral to keep to that agreement gi\she had given birth to someone else's child! Would it not be unfair toIsaac to stay married to

her? Right now, she must get better to escape her current predicament.She held

out her hands to take the bowl from Isaac's hands just then. “Give it to nIsaac did not, and suddenly said, “I'll feed you.”

Irene was speechless, and wanted to ask if he was alright.

It would be

more normal if he was upset with her she actually was unsure what shewhen he was being this nice.

“Excuse me... Did your conscience get to you or something?” Ireneasked while looking at him sideways Was this yet another one of hiscarrot-and-stick policies implemented?
