Chapter 690
Sensing danger right then, Irene turned toward Seth, who appeared perplexed by her look. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Irene pointed at Harvey Gooding. "He's your cousin?"
"Yeah," Seth replied honestly. "His mother is my mother's youngest sister."
"He's sick?” Irene asked.
"Yeah-that's what he told me," Seth said. "He's hoping you can take a look.
Irene's lips twitched.
Fine, it was her own negligence!
Or maybe she never could have expected that Seth and Harvey were related.
"Why are you so surprised?"
Harvey rose to his feet just then and he slowly walked towards Irene.
Alarmed, Irene retreated and turned to run, only to find the door blocked by several burly men, each of whom had fearsome looks on their faces!
Her escape cut off, Irene wheeled on Harvey. "What do you want?"
Harvey smiled. "To get checked, of course-l'm a patient, and you're a doctor, right?"
Irene narrowed her eyes. "I don't think I can do it. Get someone else, and let me go right now. You know Isaac's temper, and if he knows that you're messing with me again, he'll destroy you."
Harvey simply stared at her, and Irene felt the creeps from his gaze. "Don't give me that look!"
Harvey snorted and returned to the couch then, crossing his legs as he told Seth, "You can go back to work now. We don't need you here."
Seth was puzzled. "You two know each other? Why did you have to go through me, then?"
"Can't you tell from her harsh tone?" Harvey said. "There's a little misunderstanding between us, so she's been refusing to see me. That's why I needed your help, and I thank you for it."
