Chapter 602
Irene was so worried that she cared for Tommy without slacking off at all, or even allowing her eyes to close once.
Everyone around her could see her working diligently but were unable to help. All they could do was to offer assistance wherever they could, even if it was just to relieve her a little.
Late at night, Irene was still sitting beside Tommy's bed, yawning from heavy drowsiness.
Needing to stay awake, she said, "Mom, could you make me a coffee?"
It hurt Sheryl to watch, but since there was not much else she could do, she sighed inwardly and left to get that coffee.
Still, Irene perked up a little after having her coffee and told Sheryl, "It's late, Mom. You should go to sleep."
"Why don't you let me watch Tommy instead?" Sheryl asked.
"I'm worried if I'm not watching him," Irene replied.
Sheryl therefore had no choice but return to her room and sleep.
Meanwhile, Tommy, who was fidgeting in his sleep, suddenly woke up.
Though still muddled, he was blabbering, "Papa..."
Irene scooped him up in her arms, gently coaxing him to sleep again. "It's okay. Mama's here."
He was sleepy but would wake up from time to time anyway, though he would not throw a fit in Irene's arms.
Naturally, he was feeling frail as well due to the mild fever that lasted for a while now, and Irene had to help him drink past midnight for the fever to subside a little.
Still, although he had no appetite for a few days now, he started eating in the morning and perked up as well.
Sheryl was holding him as she said, "He finally looks better."
Irene was relieved inwardly as she looked on as well.
"I'll get it done sooner," he replied, and Irene hung up.
Throwing her phone aside, she nestled on the couch.
Isaac's people were constantly shadowing Debbie to keep track of her whereabouts, as well as trying to find the antidote for Tommy.
However, they were beaten to the punch before Isaac could order a hit on her, and it turned out to be Ember Lindt and Winston Dickens.
Ember hated Debbie in the first place, and needed money urgently since Zachary refused to pay her anything.
It was the same for Winston too, and both of them hence planned the kidnapping together, with Winston luring Debbie out, knocking her out with a sedative and whisking her off to an unfinished building.
"I was just about to report in, sir, but someone beat US to it. They've taken her to an unfinished building out in the suburbs," one of the men following Debbie said.
Isaac’s curiosity was actually piqued. "Let's go." They shall see how many enemies she had made!
