Chapter 664
Irene could not care less that her face was heavily bandaged.
She aligned and dashed into the Twinrise office building, heading straight for the front desk when she spotted James stepping out.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I’m looking for Isaac. Where is he?" Irene asked right away.
"He’s out to deal with something," James said. "Is it urgent? Do you want me to call him back right now?"
Irene thought about it, but gave up. "It's fine."
She decided that she could wait until Isaac came back, and she turned to leave.
When she returned to the hospital, she managed to make it back to her ward before Seth did his rounds and he helped her change her bandages.
"Can I stay home to recover instead?" Irene asked just then.
Seth chuckled. "Do you hate the smell here? Aren't you a doctor yourself?"
"No, it's just cabin fever," Irene said.
"Well, sure. Actually, if you don't want to come here, I can visit your home to change your bandages every other day too."
Irene quickly rejected the offer-lsaac was already upset, and the misunderstanding would worsen if she allowed Seth in her house.
"Forget it. I think I'll just stay here!"
Seth smiled. "You seemed afraid of me visiting your house."
"Nope." Irene denied it, then asked, "By the way, why did you come back to Zidonia?"
Seth lowered his head to hide his reaction, but he then grinned. "Business is booming here. Can't you see that all our wards are full? They're all young women too-it seems that they're not content with their looks."
Irene was actually left in awe, but it was true-ladies did get self conscious about their looks these days, neglecting their health instead, which was disagreeable for Irene.
