Chapter 548
That was certainly the case, but Debbie still had other concerns.
[James Cross may be a vegetable now, but there's still a chance that he will recover.]
[The answer is still no. If you so much as lay a finger on him, Isaac Jefferson will know everything.]
Debbie was certainly unhappy with that arrangement, but she could not find out anything about the mysterious person, and their ID was untrackable.
As such, she was subject to their whims.
[Understood.]
Although Minerva was not Isaac's domain, he managed to gather all security footage from Flanley Hospital through Sammy's influence, along with information of all the doctors and medical staff involved in Irene's surgery.
However, there was nothing suspicious on video, and the records detailed that the child was taken out by C-section but was not breathing even after resuscitation.
After that, the body was placed at the morgue, and the hospital administration said that they were allowed access any time.
Everything seemed cut and dry.
"Is there something you still suspect?" Sammy asked. "Perhaps I should also point out that our mutual friends are busy throwing everything they have at my maternal grandfather. They won't have the time to mess with us. Look, I know it's hard to believe it, and you're asking me to check because you don't want to accept reality. But that doesn't mean it's not reality."
Isaac looked up just then-his gaze was as dark as an abyss.
"So? What else can I do for you?" Sammy quickly switched gears right then -he was sharp enough to tell that Isaac is refusing to hear a word of it.
"I want everything you can get on her," he growled, placing the dossier on the surgeon in charge of Irene's surgery. "That includes every text received over the last month, the people she was in touch with, and everywhere she's been-the more information, the better."
In reality, he knew that Sammy spoke reason-he and Irene were in denial.
However, he has an obligation as a father to find out the truth, just as he must give Irene an answer.
"I'll have something soon," Sammy said. "See you."
"Yeah," Isaac muttered, and took a moment to straighten his face before returning to Irene's ward.
Her postpartum hemorrhage had since been stopped, and it turned out that her emotional distress was the cause, coupled with her frailness after going into labor.
He entered to find Irene’s eyes wide open. Hurrying to her side, he leaned forward with a tender gaze in his eyes. "You're awake."
Irene ignored that and rasped, I heard everything outside."
Her eyes were sunken, and she lost so much weight she was utterly haggard.
Isaac was hoping that she could not overhear his conversation with Sammy -that was why he kept it outside, but she woke up earlier than he expected.
Wrapping his arms around her and kissing her gently on the forehead, he said, "It's going to be fine. Don't think about it, okay?"
"How could I not?! She was inside me for eight months! It's all your fault-1 would have prepared everything to deliver her, and not while I'm half dead! Tell me-how could you be so calm?!"
