Irene looked up to see Stan helping Isaac into the room.
She quickly put down her phone and walked up to help Isaac, taking him off Stan's hand.
"What did the doctor say?" she asked.
"He's recovering well," Stan said.
Irene happily forgot about Lulu, all her focus placed on Isaac just then.
The blindfold over his eyes was already taken off—he could not see entirely, and most things were just a blur.
Still, the doctor explained that she just had to recover a few days for a full recovery.
Irene happily said, "It's been a while since I've arrived. Tommy just called last night, asking when I'm going home—we can both go home once you're better."
"Yeah," Isaac replied.
However, Irene was concerned.
While Zachary was on hand to care for home before, Zachary's focus would be placed completely on Jean.
Stan was here at Minerva with them, and James Cross came over with Erin Gooding while also being wounded.
There was only Eagle back home, but she was more or less worried with two children at home, and she would like to go home soon.
"Was I being capricious?" she asked Isaac—coming when she wanted without making arrangements for the children.
Isaac told her not to dwell on it, since they would be home soon anyway.
They faced no problems, and nothing would happen.
However, Irene was traumatized—each time something happened, they were just a hair's breadth away from danger.
The last time was no exception, and she felt traumatized whenever she saw Isaac's eyes and was profoundly in fear of further danger.
"What do you want to eat? Shall I take you there?" Isaac asked, trying to ease her mind on purpose.
Irene leaned into his chest. "I won't know where to go. You can make the arrangements."
