Chapter 286
Irene opened her eyes to find the timer on the bomb staying at zero without detonating.
Just as she was puzzled, Ricky spoke.
“Sorry, sis. I was just using you to force Isaac into admitting that he killed my mom, and give that
evidence to the police to arrest him. But I had no intention of hurting you-that’s why it won’t blow up.”
Irene could hardly believe it. “Ricky…”
“I accept what you told me, and I understand now-if Isaac wanted Mom dead, he didn’t have to get her
out of prison to do it. It’s clearly someone who was using me,” he said, as he walked up to untie her.
“Are you angry at me?”
“No.” Irene shook her head.
After all, her heart was filled with unexpected warmth-Ricky was in grief after Samantha’s death, and it
was understandable that he resorted to extreme actions.
Even so, he used a dud bomb, making it clear that he did consider her family and did not want to hurt
her.
Hugging him, she said, “Even though our father left us, you’re my brother, Ricky. We’ll definitely find the
one who killed your mother and put her to justice.”
Ricky nodded. “Thank you… But don’t you hate me?”
Irene did not, since any grievance she held against Samantha died with the latter. There was no way
she would obsess over the past, and letting go of it was being kind to herself as well.
Moreover, Ricky and her were family, and she had no cause to hurt the living over the departed.
“Why would I? You’re in grief, and that’s how they exploited you.” Irene smiled. “Let’s do our best
together from now on. We’ll seek justice for your mother.”
Ricky nodded.
“By the way, do you know who texted you? Have you met them?” Irene asked just then, intent on
finding. out who put the whole plan together.
If Ricky really believed that Isaac killed Samantha and did not use a dud bomb, the consequences
would be unimaginable.
“I have. She-”
“This isn’t the place to talk. We should go,” Isaac suddenly said.
Irene then realized that she was being impatient, and that this was not the place to talk. “Yeah, we
should.”
“Okay,” Ricky agreed.
However, as they passed the patch of grass near the entrance, Isaac heard a faint beeping sound, and
turned to find a bomb hidden in the grass.
3, 2, 1…
“Bomb!” Isaac cried and promptly threw his arms around Irene, pushing her down to the ground!
The bomb detonated with a resounding boom the instant they fell, and the resulting flame shone like a
second sun.
Ricky reacted too slowly, and was knocked unconscious by the resulting shockwave.
Irene regained consciousness first, and when she tried to move, she realized that Isaac was on top of
her -he was shielding her with his body.
“Isaac…” Irene called out as she pulled herself out from underneath him. He was unconscious, and she
could see that the explosion had sent bricks and other shrapnel flying, with even a rock ’embedded’ on
his back.
She quickly checked his breathing and pulse, and went to check on Ricky after ascertaining that they
were knocked out.
Ricky was worse off than Isaac, so Irene promptly found a phone to call an ambulance, and then gave
them first aid while waiting.
