Chapter 95 Isaac regretted his failure to recognize the right woman, and losing his own children as a result of that.
The punishment was so severe that someone as gritty as him had trouble shouldering it!
“She lost the other child too. Don‘t mention children in front of her so that she won’t feel hurt. “His voice was quiet but carried a hint of raspiness. Zachary sighed–he was not actually surprised. “It‘s a miracle to keep a twin alive when the other dies. Even if she‘s worked so hard to protect it, the risk of infection was just too much, and there was no assurance that the abortion surgery did not hurt her womb. Still, it‘s no loss – I‘ve been telling her from the start not to keep it because she doesn‘t even know the father. I can‘t understand what she‘s thinking, insisting on delivering the baby anyway and raising her as a single mother.”
Isaac‘s heart could split right then.
Irene did all she could to protect their child even if it risked his ire–her courage and resolve was there for all to see. “Alright, I‘ve answered however I can. Now, can you tell me where you found Irene?” Zachary asked-he was not about to forget his purpose. Isaac did not answer, but after a while, he composed himself and passed his phone to Zachary. “Restore the logs. You‘ll find the number she called.”
Zachary’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Once he got the phone, he worked quickly and soon restored the logs, finding the number he wanted. Still, he hesitated for a moment before calling it, suddenly realizing his breathing was unstable.
He worked hard to breathe and then dialed anyway.
On the other end, Lulu appeared confused when she heard Zachary’s voice over the phone when Irene called her.
She was spacing out, his voice lingering in his mind although Irene had already hung up.
It had been years, but she still recognized his voice-it was just so familiar.
“Wah!!!” The baby on the bed suddenly started crying, and she quickly scooped him up in her arms as she regained her senses.
“Has he been named yet?” she asked.
