After learning that her daughter had faked her death, Sheryl was absolutely apoplectic and scolded her
endlessly.
"How could you do this? Not everything is about you—it's fine if you left me, but you abandoned your
own son and you ran off while pregnant?! Isaac and I had been mourning you every day! But I guess
this is what to be expected of you now, huh?!"
Irene naturally did not dare to retort, while Isaac listened on nearby with Tommy in his arms.
There were things he would never say, but he agreed with the notion nonetheless.
Having Sheryl say it might also make Irene remember, preventing her from being too willful in the
future.
Even if she had her reasons, faking her own death was not the way.
"You're pregnant! How would you explain to Isaac if something happened? You're an adult now, and
soon, the mother of the two children.You should know better instead of just doing whatever you like!"
Shery] then gestured at Tommy.
"See? Your own son doesn't even recognize you now.Don't you think you've failed as a mother?"
Tommy naturally had no idea what was going on.
His round eyes were like little black grapes, twirling and twinkling spiritedly.
At the moment, he had imprinted on Isaac, even though Sheryl babysitted him the most.
Meanwhile, Sheryl was asking, "So? Do you understand what you've done?"
Irene certainly understood her mistake and was contrite as she listened to everything Sheryl said.
That being said, the look of schadenfreude on Isaac's face left her annoyed—he was the reason for the
entire mess, but he was now watching gleefully as she suffered!
"I know.What I did was wrong," she admitted, eager to have Sheryl stop rebuking her soon.
However, Sheryl was not stopping because of her admission, but she was actually ‘escalating’ instead.
"Look, Irene—you really have to think things through before going through with it next time.Try to
consider if it's right, and whether it's worth it.Don't you constantly play along according to your own
whims—"
Bzzt...
That was when Irene's phone rang.
Feeling like she was saved by the bell, she quickly answered it.
It was Dr.Pitt, her head of department.
"Dr.Tanner? We need you back at the hotel right now."
"Okay," Irene replied before she hung up and turned toward her mother.
"Sorry, Mom.I have something to attend to."
"Leaving as soon as you come back, huh?"
Sheryl snorted.
"Even your own son treats you like a stranger now—do you feel a sense of accomplishment yet?"
Irene was speechless.She had been feeling miserable already, but Sheryl struck her where it hurt
again.Her eyes welled with tears.
Realizing that she was going overboard just then, Sheryl took Tommy off Isaac's arms, saying, "It's bath
time for Tommy.Just go do what you have to do—I'll take proper care of him."
The last part was naturally meant for Irene, and Irene understood that her rebuke came from a place of
affection.
Regardless, Irene was relieved to have Sheryl look after Tommy, and Isaac drove Irene back to her
hotel.
"You seemed so pleased when I was getting scolded," she said in the car.
Isaac kept a straight face as he drove, asking in return, "Do I?"
Still, she did not want to get too confrontational—she still needed his help with Lulu.
"I'm counting on you to find Lulu now."
"Yeah," Isaac murmured.
"Thank you."
Isaac turned to look at her with a gaze of myriad emotions, but simply stayed silent before driving off.
Arriving at the hotel, Irene got off and said, I might be here for a while.Go find out what you can about
Lulu."
"Yeah," Isaac said—she would obviously remain anxious as long as they did not resolve the situation
with Lulu.
He must find Lulu soon so that she could have ease of mind, which was vital for her pregnancy.
"Call me if anything comes up," he told her.
"Okay," Irene said, then turned to head inside the hotel.
Suddenly Isaac called out to her, "Don't you run away again."
If she did, he would not be that merciful next time.
"Got it," she replied.
Returning to her room, she knocked on Dr.Pitt's door.
"Come in."
Irene did so, and found Dr.Pitt scowling inside.
The instant Irene entered, she said coolly, "Over here."
