Chapter 2

Autor: Mu Muyu
The hospital director said, "That's her, Whitney Cox. She was the one on duty last night."

Stan entered, glanced at Whitney's name tag, and said, "Come with me."

Whitney was puzzled. "What? Where to?"

"Oh, just come with us." The hospital director pulled Irene along, seemingly not in the mood for questions. "Let’s not keep Mr. Jefferson waiting."

Soon, Whitney was in the director’s office, where Isaac was lying on the couch. One would notice his tall and broad frame immediately, and it would take a second look to see that his lips were pale. The thick smell of antibiotics in the hospital hid the scent of blood that lingered on him as well.

He was dressed in black, emitting a domineering aura. A single look was enough to instill fear in a person!

Stan walked up behind Isaac, leaned downward, and whispered, "They must have destroyed all the cameras to destroy any evidence of their presence. Also, this is Whitney Cox, the doctor on duty last night. The hospital director confirmed it, and I checked the records as well."

As Isaac looked up at Whitney, she gasped, "He’s the head of Light Group!"

"You’re the one who helped me last night?" Isaac asked as he sized Whitney up and down.

Whitney promptly lowered her gaze, afraid of looking straight into his eyes.

"Yes..." She had no idea what had happened last night, only that she stood to gain if she managed to befriend him.

Moreover, it was now a vital moment, the higher-ups were going to decide who would be chosen for the internship at the Central Hospital of the Second Militarized Zone.

Though they called it an internship, everyone knew that the one chosen would get to stay, not to mention that the connections were far better than anything they had here.

Whitney knew if she was able to get Isaac support him, she definitely could get that internship!

Meanwhile, Isaac continued, "I can give you anything you want, including marriage."

His expression remained neutral, but a look of tenderness appeared when he remembered last night.

"Well... I..." Whitney stammered in gibberish since everything was happening too fast.

"Come to me when you’ve made up your mind," said Isaac. He rose to his feet while telling Stan to give Whitney his contact details.

"Mr. Jefferson..." The hospital director stood up as well, seemingly intending to escort Isaac out as well.

"There’s no need to see me out, it's fine," said Isaac, his usual aloofness returning, though he paused for a moment as he remembered something else. "Do take good care of her whenever she's in your hospital."

"Don't worry, I definitely will," the hospital director said with a fawning smile.

After making sure that no one else could hear them, Stan quietly reminded Isaac, "Sir, you're married. Then the marriage..."

Stan felt that marriage was something Isaac couldn’t give Miss Cox.

The thought of the woman who he was forced to marry made Isaac’s face darken. His lips curved into a sneer. "They must have a death wish or something?"

Stan shuddered, unsure if Isaac was talking about the woman he was forced to marry or the cause of the recent incident.

Irene returned to the mansion where she and her newlywed husband would be staying in the future.

"Mrs. Jefferson." Mrs. Watson greeted Irene the instant she walked through the door. "How come you were out the whole night?"

"I had to fill in for someone at work," Irene quietly replied with a tired voice.

Seeing that she was tired, Mrs. Watson didn’t ask any more questions as she headed upstairs.

Lying in the bathtub, Irene remembered what had happened the previous night, and buried her head in her arms whilst her cheeks burned.

There was a complicated feeling in her heart. After all, she had sex with a man she knew nothing of.

To make things worse, she was married. This was betrayal towards her newly married husband, Isaac.

After taking a bath, Irene got dressed and headed out again.

Mrs. Watson saw that Irene was about to head out again, so she walked up to Irene and asked, "Leaving again? Aren't you going at least have breakfast?"

Irene glanced at the time and replied, "I'm going to be late for work."

Mrs. Watson had known before that Irene was a doctor and what her work entailed, not to mention that it was a respectable job. As such, she brought Irene a glass of milk and said, "At least have a glass of milk before you go."

Irene looked at Mrs. Watson. The concern the latter showed made her feel warm. She lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you."

You're welcome. Mrs. Watson smiled, her round face showing kindness.

Irene quickly finished the milk and passed the glass to Mrs. Watson before heading out.

She didn’t head straight to work. The reason that she headed out so early was because she needed to visit her mother in the ICU.

She checked her mother's condition as she always did. Irene’s heart sank when she saw that her mother wasn’t improving at all.

Her mother was suffering from heart failure and was at the terminal stage. She would need a heart transplant to stay alive, but the surgery was way too expensive.

This was the reason why Irene had agreed to marry Isaac. Her father had threatened not to pay her mother's medical fees if she didn’t marry Isaac.

And right now, all they had to do was wait for a donor match, and her mother would be saved.

Looking at her mother, Irene gave her word that she would cure her.

After all, her mother was the closest person she had in this world.

Buzz!

Irene’s phone started to ring in her pocket.

"Irene, can you do me a favor?" A voice sounded on the other end of the line.

    “Mom, Dad, you have to help me, or I'll definitely end up in prison!” Ricky Spencer was crying out even as he tugged on Samantha's hand.Lionel glared at his incorrigible son. “What have you done this time?” he growled. It was certainly not Ricky's first offense. “I... I was just trying to practice my driving ahead of my driver's test. Irene's SUV was just sitting there and no one's using it, so I drove it around, and then I got caught in an accident...”“What?”Lionel almost died from a heart attack. “Just days ago, you almost blinded someone with a skewer, and I had to spend so much on damages and apologize to finally resolve it! Now, you're telling me you caused an accident? And without a license! You honestly don't appreciate being alive, do you?”“Calm down, Lionel. Ricky's your only son, and he hasn't completed his studies yet! You have to help him. He can't go to prison. Would he have a future if he does? The SUV is Irene's, so just say that it was her...”“Dream on, Sa

    Irene decided that she would be out of line if she kept her place as Mrs. Jefferson.Nearby, the leaves on a tree were rustling from the touch of a slightly chill breeze. It was the early days of autumn, and the sun was much milder.Tightening her clothes, she hurried along, having planned to cook dinner for Isaac tonight before asking for a divorce.That was when a car suddenly screeched to a halt, blocking her path while several men quickly alighted. Without saying a word, one of them pulled a black sack over her head while another clasped a hand over her mouth, dragging her into the car before speeding off.Irene was immobile and completely under their control.There was no telling how long had passed when she was finally dragged out of the car.Although the black sack still kept her blind, no one was keeping her from talking.“Who are you people? Why did you kidnap me?”“778VQ. That's your car, isn't it?”“Yes,” replied Irene.Her mother had spent all her savings to buy h

    When Isaac woke up, his nostrils were stung by the pungent scent of medicine. As he slowly sat up, his secretary came by to help. “Mr. Jefferson.”Isaac waved her off. “I'm fine,” he said. He took a moment to compose herself before asking, “How's Stan?”“He's unconscious, but the doctor already operated on him, so his life isn't in danger,” the secretary replied. “The doctor has also advised you to rest since you had a minor concussion. Why don't you rest a little?”Isaac remembered the blood on Whitney's legs just then. Pursing his lips in silence for a while, he eventually ended up asking, “How's Whitney?”“The doctor said that she had a miscarriage. She's fine otherwise apart from minor lacerations. She woke up when I arrived. She's in the next ward.”After hesitating for a moment, the secretary asked, “Should I call for her?”Isaac raised a hand to stop her.He was feeling a mixed of emotions. Despite his disgust toward Whitney, and his reluctance to let her be the mothe

    Isaac stared at Whitney in silence, and she gradually felt the creeps.Guilt was gnawing on her. After all, she had never been pregnant!Nonetheless, he said slowly after a while, “If there really is a child in your belly, I want it.”Whitney was jubilant. She would be laughing out loud if she wasn't sitting in front of Isaac, but there was no hiding the joy and excitement on her face.Amidst all the thrill, she asked, “Then, are you going to marry me?”Isaac's answer was short and flat. One might even say cold. “No.”Those words left Whitney's smile stiffening. “What? Why?”“It's a simple issue. I just want the child,” Isaac said flatly with the last ounce of his patience.Whitney started to lose her composure right then. “Well, where are you taking me?”“To the hospital,” Stan answered from the driver's seat, and turned to glance at her for a moment. “You'll give birth to that child, but you won't be the mother.”This time, Whitney was scared witless. “Why the hospital?

    Zachary nodded. Irene stiffened as if she had a bucket of ice water poured on her, dousing her from head to toe.'Isaac told me that he didn't like Whitney, but if that really was the case, why would she be pregnant?' wondered Irene.Noticing the terrible look on Irene's face, Zachary asked in concern, “Are you alright, Irene?”Irene came to her senses and quickly shook her head. “I'm fine.”She felt a sense of loss to hear that Whitney was pregnant, but she was soon relieved.It didn't matter to her whom Isaac loved, as she had no reason to get upset about that.“No, you're not,” Zachary said suspiciously, because she was kind of overreacting. “Did you fall for Isaac?”Irene looked up and met Zachary's gaze. “Did I?”He nodded. “Yes, you did. ““Actually, I'm reacting like this because I'm worried, not because of him,” she said, walking over to sit on a bench. “I know my place. I won't think of him that way.”At the same time, she stroked her belly.Surely there were not

    Over the years, Irene’s heart often ached, but she had also learned to let go.Changing the subject, she asked, “Weren't you asking to be discharged, Mom?”Sheryl nodded. “Yes. I'm much better. I'm ready to leave after such a long stay.”Irene didn't agree to it, however, and instead spoke to her attending physician. He told her that while Sheryl could be discharged, she should ensure that she had sufficient rest and keep to her checkup schedules. Still, Irene didn't tell Sheryl that, but instead said, “You should wait a couple days, Mom.”After all, Sheryl needed a place to live after she was discharged. After Sheryl nodded in agreement, Irene hesitated for a moment before asking her opinion, “Mom, do you want to divorce Lionel?”“I will,” replied Sheryl.Irene pursed her lips. She had wanted her mother to divorce Lionel for years, but it never happened. Moreover, Sheryl was saying she would divorce Lionel—and not that she wanted to.And Irene respected her decision. Afte
