Chapter 358

Surprised, Irene asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I was looking for you,” Ricky replied. “But I couldn’t reach you on your phone.”

Irene whipped out her phone, and pressed a button to find that it was out of juice and had turned itself off.

Nonetheless, she said. “That would have to wait I’m busy at the moment.”

However, Ricky was clearly antsy and did not even notice the confrontation right in front of him. “It’s Lulu.

She’s-”

Meanwhile, Harvey and Chad were already at each other’s noses and a fight looked inevitable.

Irene had to ignore Ricky just then and went up to stop Harvey, saying, “He’s not worth it, and we’re in a hospital

Chad, however, became buoyed since he thought that was a sign of Irene cowing.

I’m telling you, Irene Spencer, I’ll have you kicked out of this hospital today,” he gloated, pointing a finger at her

face. “You can call me Dahc if I can’t do it.”

“What are you talking about? Ricky rushed up right then pointed a finger at Chad’s face in retaliation. “Do you even

know who you’re talking to?”

Chad was left frowning “And who the hell are you?”

“Irene’s my sister Who do you think I am? If you want a fight, you’ve got it,” Ricky snapped, braced with youthful

bravado and almost eager to get started.

Beside him, Harvey snorted. “So? Are we doing this?”

Chad knew right then that he would definitely lose since he was up against two grown men, and gave it immediately

“You have numbers on your side, but that doesn’t mean this is over,” he said, and turned back to the hospital chief

“You have one day. Fire Irene Spencer, or I’ll shut down this hospital!”

With that, he squeezed his way between Ricky and Harvey and headed out of the door.

Ricky was dissatisfied and about to go after him, but Irene quickly stopped him, quietly telling him, “This is a hospital

Don’t get out of line.”

Indeed, it was a place of salvation and healing, not fisticuffs.

At the same time, the hospital chief was clasping his hands behind his back and sighing.

This is going to be troublesome–it was not the usual patient drama he was so used to.

Moreover, Chad was someone with considerable authority, and the hospital’s reputation could be harmed if they

mishandled this.

“You may go, Dr Spencer, Stephen said “The chief and I will come up with something.”

Irene pursed her lips. “I really didn’t push Whitney Cox…”

“We believe you,” Stephen told her.

He had not worked with irene for that long, but he more or less came to understand her character.

Knowing that they were both understanding, Irene quickly left with Harvey and Ricky.

“What actually happened, Irene? Ricky asked just then.

Irene gave him a short account of what happened, and Ricky was stunned.

“But that’s defamation!”

Irene stared at him for a while before saying, “She might also be the one who murdered your mother.”

“What?!” Ricky exclaimed, becoming even less composed at that. “I’ll find her. Where is she now-”

Irene caught his wrist. “Calm down. It’s just a hunch, and it’s also why I asked you to look into that woman named

Lindsay. She’s actually Whitney Cox, and she has a grudge against me and Isaac. She probably had help from Chad

in getting your mom out of prison, and used her to threaten you before pitting you against me and Isaac. However,

it’s just a theory-I have no evidence at all.”

Nonetheless, Ricky was convinced. “It has to be her. I knew she looked familiar from the back when told me to look

into her.”

“But you must have evidence,” Irene pointed out.

“Then we’ll just have to look for it,” Harvey chimed in. “Murder is a crime. I can help you–what do you think?”

Irene considered even as he looked towards her.

you

With Isaac away and the matter at hand clearly difficult for her to take alone, she said, “Well, you have my thanks.”

“It’s fine. You saved my mom, didn’t you?” Harvey smiled as his eyes sparkled.

Ricky was left staring at him for a while, and warned him, “Hey, wake up–my sister is married with a child.” Harvey

was speechless. Was he being that obvious?

Irene frowned. “You’re getting the wrong idea here, Ricky. He’s just a friend.”

Ricky pursed his lips. “You may think so, but he probably doesn’t. He might be eager to marry you too, and he was

practically looking at you like a lover.”
