Chapter 90
Whitney‘s face turned pale even as she stammered, “W Why are you here?!”
Glowering, Isaac strode forward and kicked her away!
“You lied to me!”
Whitney fell like a rag doll, but promptly pushed herself up in panic. “N–No, I wasn‘t lying…”
Isaac had heard everything she said, but she still insisted on lying!
The only reason he never punished her was because they shared that night.
Now, he just wanted her gone!
“Watch her, Mrs. Watson!” he bellowed before leaving to call Stan, telling him to head to the mansion right away to deal with Whitney.
After hanging up, he turned to Irene, lying on the floor and looking almost lifeless. Hesitating for a moment, he dropped to crouch beside her, and extended a hand pausing for a while, he eventually braced himself to touch her cheek, his tone cracking as he gently called, “Irene Spencer…”
He never knew that it was her that night–his heart was
lest pounding violently at the idea!
Even so, Irene‘s vision was blurring and soon darkened.
Seeing that she was unresponsive , Isaac scooped her up in his arms and strode outside, staying calm despite his panic and growling, “Get the car ready, Jimmy!”
His chauffeur promptly brought the car around, and Isaac carried Irene inside. “Get us to the hospital.”
“Yes, sir,” the chauffeur replied, and raced toward the hospital.
They soon arrived, and as a doctor checked Irene from head to toe, Isaac asked worriedly, “She‘s going to live, isn‘t she?”
“Yes,” the doctor replied. “She‘s very weak – probably because she was recently in labor. Initial scans suggest a bone fracture on her left leg, and there‘s a rupture of muscles as well. That would take a while to heal.”
Isaac‘s heart skipped a beat. “What was that? She was recently in labor, you say?” “That‘s what the tests show,” the doctor replied earnestly.
Restraining the storm brewing in him, Isaac quietly said, “Give her the best treatment and medicine. Make her better.”
“I will do my best,” the doctor replied.
After that, Irene was wheeled to the operating room where her leg was to be fixed.
