Chapter 281
Irene wanted to build her career steadily, and Isaac chuckled.
“Alright, if that’s what you want… but,” he said, his tone changing sharply, “Come to me directly if you feel doubtful again. Don’t bottle it in and stress yourself out.”
“Yeah, I should’ve trusted you,” Irene murmured softly-this was certainly her own shortcoming, because she should not have doubted him over nothing!
If Isaac never noticed and she kept acting suspicious, their relationship definitely would have been affected-since they had just started, they did not hold absolute faith in each other yet.
Picking up a piece of pie and holding it inches from her lips, he said, “Try this. It’s good.”
Irene felt a sliver of embarrassment, but ate it eventually. The crunchy crust and the sweetness of the filling unfurled in her mouth, and she held a hand over her mouth as she said, “It’s good.”
She then picked up another slice, and Isaac watched as she stuffed her cheeks like a hamster. Unable to resist smiling in amusement, he picked up a napkin and wiped some crumbs off the corner of her lips. “Slow down. No one is taking it from you.”
Irene finished the slice in a few chomps before picking up another slice which she held near his lips. “I’m not that greedy.”
Isaac grinned, happy that she was feeding him, and not because of the food.
After they ate, Irene said, “I’m heading to the hospital. I’m worried Ricky would think that you really killed Samantha and tried to hurt you, and I don’t want him to do anything stupid either. I’m hoping that he can really become family now.”
She was certainly worried that Ricky would run astray.
“Okay,” Isaac replied. “I’ll have Jimmy drive you,”
Sheryl had already helped Ricky get discharged from the hospital by the time Irene arrived, and they were packing his belongings in his ward before heading home.
Seeing that, Irene asked, “You’re leaving this early? Your arm still isn’t better yet.”
“The doctor told me that I can, and all I do is lie around here.” Ricky smiled. “Getting to stand and walk is so much better, and I’m still keeping the tourniquet on anyway. You’re a doctor too, aren’t you? I can count on you if anything comes up at home, right?”
