"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

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

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

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 a single night light staying lit within the ward, but it was quite dim.Still, Isaac ensured that Irene was sound asleep before closing the door behind him and walking to her bed.He studied her, and saw that the color had returned to her face. It was the case over the past few days, and her cheeks were now almost vibrant and her lips a French pink hue. Her jet-black hair was spread loosely, with a strand sprawled over her brow, but that only adds to her attractiveness.Isaac could not help reaching out to caress her cheek, the tips of his fingers feeling the delicate texture of it.He furrowed his brow. Perhaps his touch tickled her, for Irene turned her head, and Isaac promptly withdrew his hand."Urgh…"Irene turned around in bed, and kept sleeping with her back facing him.She shrugged off her blanket when she turned, so Isaac pulled it over her before lying down beside her on what space was left on the bed. He leaned his face against her nape, and wrapped an arm
