Chapter 353
Ricky smiled, and he actually put his arm around Lulu’s.
Irene frowned as she watched–he never did that with her before!
Feeling like he was getting overly enthusiastic, she joked nonetheless, “Ricky, did you know that Lulu
has a boyfriend?”
“Come on, Irene–he’s just a younger brother to me,” Lulu said as she glanced at Ricky sideways.
Irene said nothing–it was just a reminder anyway, so that Ricky would not get any ideas.
Still, Ricky pursed his lips in turn. “They are having a fight, aren’t there? Since they might not make up,
and it’s common for the ladies to hook up with healthy young men like me, I’m open to any offers, Lulu.”
“Not interested in puppies.” Lulu pulled her arm out of his and walked over to Irene.
Still, they heeded to a diner together, though Ricky was persistently trying to start conversations with
Lulu. Eventually, Irene could not stand it and asked, “Not afraid of Lulu already, Ricky?”
Ricky shrugged. “I’m an adult. What should I be afraid of?”
Lulu pointed at a slice of beef just then. “Do you know what that shape looks like?”
“What?” Ricky asked.
“Your entrails…”
“Stop.” Ricky quickly threw up his hands–not when he was eating!
In fact, he ended up unable to stomach meat, and limited himself to the greens.
Lulu smiled smugly–Ricky was still young, and teasing him was quite amusing.
On the other hand, Irene did not have much of an appetite in the first place, and left after a couple of
mouthfuls. “You guys can finish up. I have to go now.”
“Okay. Stay safe,” Ricky told her.
“Yeah,” Irene replied, giving him a look before leaving.
She soon arrived home, and felt a little not used to having Isaac around. He had been working from
home for a while now, and he would always be home when she returned from work in the evening.
Mrs. Watson had also tucked Tommy into bed, so the whole house became especially quiet.
After taking a bath, she lay in bed, tossing and turning but not falling asleep–Isaac’s absence left her
feeling restless.
She picked her phone, hesitating for a moment to wonder if Isaac had arrived at his destination, but
called his number anyway.
It was still turned off, leaving her disappointed and hollow inside.
He left angry… Did that mean he was still upset with her?
Sigh…
She carried Tommy to their bedroom, and slept with her hand on his little belly.

The next morning, Harvey brought a gift for Stephen.
Although his mother Rosa was still under observation, he was already informed that the surgery was a
success, and that she would be fine if she lived through the ensuing 48 hours with no issue.
He was certainly thankful for the doctor who performed the surgery on her, and his gift was generous
since money was never a problem for him.
However, Stephen never accepted gifts from patients or their family, and never held back his distaste
toward those who did.
“It’s people like you that social order is always a mess.”
Harvey was left speechless–was being grateful so wrong?
Still, he could not push Stephen since he was refusing–and so bluntly at that.
He was a man of dignity himself.
Still, he could not flip out at Stephen since he was Rosa’s attending physician, not to mention that the
risky surgery was a success. “Just pretend I was never here.”
“Wait.” Stephen stopped him.
Harvey turned and quickly asked, “Changed your mind already?”
Stephen scowled again and berated him sternly. “I know that you’re rich, but you should not set a bad
precedent just because of that. Or are you trying to tell everyone that the poor don’t deserve
treatment?”
Harvey was speechless.
‘Fine, it was my fault! Again!‘
Nonetheless, Stephen continued, “Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I’m not the one who operated
on your mother.”
“What?!” Harvey exclaimed in shock. “If it wasn’t you, then who was it?!”
