Chapter 350
Irene was left stunned for seconds, before coming to her senses and firmly pushed Harvey away, snapping angrily, “Are you crazy?!”
Why did he suddenly wrap his arms around her? Who did he take her for?
However, because she had her back to him, she could not see the reaction on the other man’s face–he could only see Harvey smirking despicably.
“Sorry.” Harvey then quietly apologized.
Irene glared at him. “Just agree to your mother’s surgery already.”
With that, she returned inside Melville Hospital through the back door, never looking back as she did–or she would have noticed Isaac glowering.
Harvey naturally did that on purpose when he saw Isaac there, and hugged Irene to annoy Isaac.
After all, Harvey never managed to get the better of Isaac, and just wanted to annoy him a little just then. Naturally, Isaac’s glower left Harvey feeling cathartic, and the latter smiled for the first time since his mother was taken ill. Even then, he pretended to be sympathetic and told Isaac, “Don’t misunderstand- I’m here because my mother was just hospitalized, and Irene was just trying to reassure me. You’re not going to be that petty that you’d be upset, right?”
Beside them, seeing how Harvey was in need of a beating just then, Stan raised a fist right then.
Nonetheless, Isaac raised a hand to stop him. “You’d just cheapen yourself.”
Stan lowered his hand then and snorted. “Audacious, aren’t you? You know she’s married with a child, but you’re still being so clingy. It has to be either because you’ve never met women, or there are issues with your upbringing… Or maybe that’s how your momma has educated you? To mess around with married women?”
“What was that?!” Harvey scolded right then–he would never be this upset if Stan only mocked him…
But not his mother!
Stan, however, was not worried about upsetting him. “What, you couldn’t hear? Are you deaf?”
Harvey promptly charged at him and grabbed his collar, growling furiously, “You asked for this.”
“Oh, yeah? You think you stand a chance?” Stan was not afraid at all, and actually looked as if he had already won–he had training, after all.
Nonetheless, Harvey was not going to take it from him, and promptly launched a jab in his face.
He would be no man if he did not defend his mother’s honor!
