Chapter 595
It was likely that neither of them had expected to see each other under such circumstances.
Somehow, Whitney Cox felt neither jealousy nor resentment toward Irene.
In fact, she came to realize certain truths while pregnant.
For one, Irene never owed her, and Isaac was never hers.
In fact, her impersonation of Irene was the reason she managed to get close to Isaac.
It was Whitney who acted as if he was hers with no qualms.
"I..."
Irene was going to speak, but Whitney cut her short and said feebly, "I didn't expect there to still be a connection between US... That I'd see you during my last moments.”
Whitney lowered her gaze. "Even though we graduated from the same med school and worked at the same hospital, you were better than me in every way. I used to envy you... But it was more jealousy than envy..."
Irene used to hate Whitney to the bone, but the sight of her looking like a candle in the wind eased her spite.

'Who needs it?" she asked.
"Ricky," Irene replied.
Whitney became quiet after hearing the name, and then said, "I will be a donor, but under one condition."
"Tell me."
Holding Irene's gaze, Whitney said, "I have made a lot of mistakes, but could you not take it out on my child?"
