Chapter 253

Anything goes, as long as it appeases Isaac.

“Well, has Dr. Kyle agreed to work as Tommy’s attending physician?” Irene asked.

“No,” Isaac replied.

In fact, Peter Kyle did not appear attracted by any offer, no matter how much money he was promised.

It seems that ambitions are just like Zachary’s and Irene’s, though he promised to come immediately

should Tommy fall sick again.

Zachary recommended Dr. Kyle because he had come into the country to further his career -to be

precise, his girlfriend was local, and he decided to take up a career here to stay with her. Anyway,

someone as talented as him was bound to find success anywhere he

went.

Dr. Kyle’s reason for not working as Tommy’s attending physician was because he has to help other

children as well–such was his obligation and compassion as a doctor.

Irene was sure most doctors shared that compassion, and wasn’t surprised by Peter’s

response.

Bzzt-

Irene’s phone suddenly started to ring, and she answered it outside.

It was Miss Lang. “I need a favor.”

“What is it?”

“There will be a dance competition held in the city’s sports complex. I’ve been picked as a judge, but I

had something come up so I can’t attend. I was thinking you can take my place.

Irene quickly refused. “I don’t think I could.”

“Why not?”

Irene said, “I don’t have the qualifications for one, and I’m quite busy at the moment.”

“It won’t take that long,” Miss Lang pointed out, “It’s just one afternoon, so please help me

out here.”

Irene glanced at Tommy, who was lying in his crib. She couldn’t say yes to Miss Lang’s request

because she hadn’t really taken good care of Tommy. Now that she had plenty of time to do it, she

didn’t want to do anything else. “I’m sorry, but I really don’t have any time to spare…”

“Oh, I guess I should come clean–Robin Lynd actually asked for you. She’s quite keen to have you

adjudicate.”

Irene narrowed her eyes immediately. “What?”

“You asked me for an introduction before, right? She told me you’re a friend now. Why else would she

ask me to request that you adjudicate?”

From Miss Lang’s perspective, the request itself held no drawbacks. Only individuals who reached a

certain qualification can be a judge, just as it was confirmation of their abilities.

As such, she was sure that this was a good thing, which was why she agreed to help ask Irene to

attend the competition as a judge.

Irene, however, was quick on her feet.

She immediately realized that this could be a trap!

“Did she mention anything else about me?” Irene asked.

“No,” Miss Lang replied.

“Have you told her that I’m a dancer myself?”

“I knew you might be busy, so I tried to turn down her request when she first approached me,” Miss

Lang explained. “I told her that you’re not a dancer, but that seemed to make her more eager. It struck

me as odd, but I also thought that she might be trying to help you as a friend.”

Irene was almost laughing inwardly.

Now, she understood everything.

“Alright, I’ll be there,” Irene said. “But please don’t tell her that I’m a dancer. Also, I have a favor to

ask…”

“Of course. Just shoot.”

After Irene told Miss Lang what she had in mind, she asked, “Can it be done?”

Miss Lang thought about it for a while before saying, “Of course.”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, both of you really shouldn’t be so polite,” Miss Lang laughed.

They then chatted a while longer before hanging up, and Irene turned to find Isaac watching her.

Looking around the living room, she asked, “Where’s Zachary?”

“He left,” Isaac replied.

Irene nodded, and suddenly remembered what she saw in Isaac’s office. “Have you ever wondered if…

Debbie is into you?” she asked gingerly.
