"I'm Zachary Slate. Irene is slightly hurt, and she's having surgery right now," Zachary answered—he was standing right outside the operating room.Sheryl felt as if her heart had stopped right then. "What happened? Did my daughter get hurt?""Yes," Zachary replied. Flustered and anxious, Sheryl quickly asked, "Which hospital?""Central Hospital at the Second Militarized Zone.""Okay, I got it." Sherly hung up, and promptly hailed a taxi to head there.…On the surgical table, Irene caught the scrubs of the doctor who would be operating on her. "Can you save my baby?"She had already been screened, and while it was confirmed that she had suffered a miscarriage, one of the twins could still be saved."Are you sure you want to keep it?"Irene's cheeks were as white as a sheet, and her lips were dry and bleeding. "I'm sure," she answered hoarsely. "I'm counting on you.""I'll do my best," the doctor replied. Zachary was a thoracic surgeon, so he had to get the best obstetr

Zachary poured Irene a glass of water, and she drank half of it to ease the dryness of her throat. She felt a little just then better, but she was still aching all over."What happened? Who did that to you?" Zachary asked, unable to hold back his indignation and firing a guess. "Could it be Whitney?"Irene shook her head—she would have believed that herself, if her mother did not tell her that Ricky was driving her car. But now, everything was clear: Ricky was driving her car, and got into a car accident involving Isaac.The concerned departments would have gotten involved if it had been serious, but Isaac had decided to punish whom he presumed to be the culprit—meaning he was either seriously hurt, or very pissed off.The thought that she was assaulted because her stepbrother was involved in an accident left her feeling especially indignant. "Zachary, I've made up my mind—I'll divorce Isaac soon," she said quietly. "I've lost one of my children, and the other might not be sa

When Isaac took the sheet of paper and saw that Irene's name was on it, he frowned. "This isn't the driver!" The driver he saw was a young man!The secretary had no idea why Isaac was suddenly hostile, but admitted, "The SUV was registered under Ms. Spencer's name…""And that makes her the culprit?" Isaac growled as he got off the hospital bed and leveled an icy glare at her. "Is she the one you punished?"The secretary kept her head down in silence.Fuming, Isaac bellowed, "I'm asking you a question!""Yes, sir," the secretary finally replied.Isaac was hyperventilating from sheer frustration, and the secretary quickly apologized. "Sorry, I slipped up…"Isaac completely ignored her and stormed outside.Whitney, who had been standing by the door and trying to get in, saw him coming out. After that accident, it was perfectly reasonable to say that she had lost their child, and Isaac would not be able to say anything against that."Isaac," she called out, and reached for his

"Irene Spencer!" Isaac bellowed, breathing each syllable louder than the next as his cheeks flushed crimson and turned dark, the veins in his neck bulging as if something could pop just then.Seizing her neck, he snarled, "I'll strangle you to death right now!""I know you will," Irene replied with equal resolve and determination. "But I'm not afraid. I hate you!""Just because I slipped up and caused your miscarriage?" he asked, and continued before she answered, "I would've made you get an abortion even if I didn't—I'd never let you give birth to a b*stard just to mess with me! Everything's just fine now, since I don't have to do it myself. Guess even someone up there is refusing to let you have that b*stard, that's why the mistake happened in the first place!"Her repetitive use of 'b*stard' stung Irene in the heart, leaving her utterly hysterical. "I hate you! I wish you were dead!" Irene shouted.Hate and fury blazed within her eyes.On the other hand, Isaac's hands flinch

Did it hurt?For Irene, it was only natural that it hurt.However, any physical injury would never compare to the heartache she felt from losing one of her children. She lowered her eyes and did not respond then.At the same time, Isaac was grasping her arm to stop her from moving at all… and suddenly leaned in to kiss her lips."Umph! Did you lose your mind?!" she snapped.Isaac simply grinned in return, an evil look showing across his face right then. "You must answer when I ask you a question. That is basic manners, and I would have to instruct you if you don't know that. Just now was a punishment, and if you insist on being stubborn or using silence as a way of resistance, my punishment will only get worse."Pausing for a moment, he then added, "I'm a man of my word."On the other hand, Irene was already hurt, and since she also had to protect her child, she did not dare to fight back—even if she felt utter disgust toward Isaac just then, she did not dare to say a word.O

They were both murderers who had killed her child. There was no way she would feel anything toward them other than loathing! "But what are you going to do if Isaac still refuses to divorce you?" Zachary reminded her then. "You can hide your pregnancy for a few more months, but there's no way you can hide it as more time passes by."In reality, Irene had an idea, but she did not tell Zachary—he was too much of a friend to Isaac. And if Zachary were to find out, it was only expected that Isaac would find out. As such, she simply acted as if she had no plans, and said, "I have no idea. We'll just have to cross that bridge when we reach it.""If push comes to shove, you just have to run away in secret," Zachary suggested. "Just stay out of Isaac's mind, and he'll eventually forget about you."Irene gave him a dark look. "Do you really believe that Isaac would ever fail to find me once he sets his mind on it?""Well, no…" Zachary muttered, perfectly aware of what Isaac was like an

Isaac finally turned around to look at Whitney as he coldly growled, "Bring him over."At the same time, Whitney was dumbstruck as a sense of panic slowly seized her. "Doctor? What doctor?"Isaac then took a seat on the couch in the ward, folding his legs elegantly as he spoke, "Weren't you saying that you suffered from a miscarriage? And after that, the doctor who operated on you fled for no reason? My man managed to reach him, and we're bringing him back as we speak."Whitney's legs caved, and she almost dropped to the floor in sheer terror. In reality, she had been the first person who regained consciousness after the accident. She quickly spent a huge amount of money to pay off the doctor operating her, so that he would tell Isaac's secretary that she had suffered from a miscarriage and lost her baby.The money she gave him naturally included the money he would need to run away… but Isaac was saying that he had now been captured and brought back?Whitney began, "Listen to me

There was no going back for Whitney, but she was still trying her best to weasel her way out of guilt.Meanwhile, Isaac's lips were curling coolly. To think that this woman could be this unreasonable… To think that she would attempt to deceive him with a pregnancy!He would have made her wish she was dead, if not for the fact that she had saved him that night! "Whitney, I won't hold it against you this time. But know this, I'll only tolerate your nonsense this one time, and I don't want to see you ever again. Cross the line again, and there will be no mercy!"Then, rising to his feet, he told his secretary, "Let her go.""Yes, Mr. Jefferson." Her secretary gestured for the men to release Whitney then. "Isaac…" Nonetheless, Whitney lunged toward him again, begging through tears and snot, "I didn't mean to do this…""Keep bugging me, and I'll make sure you don't get to stay in this city!" he said with an even tone, but there was endless intimidation in his words.Whitney f
