Chapter 403

Stephen was left stunned. “You didn’t know?”

Irene laughed dryly. “Do you really think that he would still talk to me about his affairs?”

“No,” Stephen quickly said, and sighed. “Mick had an accident on his way to the airport. It was horrific- the taxi

driver died on the spot, while Mick was critically injured. Luckily, help reached him in time and he survived. Still,

don’t you think that it’s too much of a coincidence? Don’t you think Isaac Jefferson is behind that?”

Irene pursed her lips in silence-she would not be surprised if Isaac was, given his character.

She at least knew that much about him.

“You shouldn’t jump to conclusions without evidence,” she said coolly nonetheless. “Mick’s lucky that he survived.”

Stephen thought about it and agreed. Mick had been a dead man walking ever since Yvaine’s death, and somehow

managed to survive despite the horrific accident-it seemed that it just was not his time to go.

“Well, I’ve done all I can for him,” Stephen murmured.

In fact, he had exhausted all his favors for Mick since Yvaine’s death.

Starting with staging Yvaine’s death as a surgical mishap, Melville Hospital’s reputation had taken a blow, and it was

only because he had the chief’s respect and favor that he was not placed under inquiry.

In addition, in such cases, should the deceased family press charges, the doctor in charge would be taken to court.

It was only because Irene was Isaac’s wife that he did not do anything to her, or she certainly would not still be

working here.

“Dr. Carr?”

Harvey Gooding called out as he approached them from the walkway. Pretending not to see Irene, he spoke directly

to Stephen, “I was going to get my mother discharged, but the front desk said something. about needing an

agreement from you, so could you help me sign this?”

“Okay,” Stephen said as he took out the pen in his chest pocket, turning toward Irene just as he was about to sign

the paper, “Are you sure the patient can be discharged?”

“Yes,” Irene replied. “She has been recovering well, and she can be allowed to return home.”

As Irene was the one who operated on Harvey’s mother, Stephen should ask for her opinion.

Stephen signed it following Irene’s assurance.

Naturally, that meant she got to ignore Harvey again, although he was waiting for her to talk to him.

Harvey huffed, “You really are cut from the same cloth as Isaac.”

“And do you know why I love him so?” Irene asked coolly.

Harvey’s interest was actually piqued. “Why?”

“Because he never talks as much as you do, and would rather do than talk.”

Harvey was speechless, but there was no doubt that she struck him where it hurt!

Did she have to be so direct? Could she not save him some dignity?!

“Hmph! He’s just a little better looking than I am-don’t make him sound so noble when all you like is his face,

Harvey snapped in dissatisfaction, and wanted some degree of verbal satisfaction since he would never beat Isaac

outright.

Not bothered to waste her breath with him, Irene simply did what she was supposed to do. “I’ll go check on your

mother now.”

Harvey quickly jogged after her. “Okay.”

Arriving at Rosa’s ward, Irene saw that she had been recovering well. The color had returned to her cheeks and she

was quite spirited, and Irene also examined her surgical openings to see that it was healing nicely.

Irene told Rosa, “Try not to get upset and avoid stress. A little exercise and a plain diet would do wonders as well.”

“Okay, thank you.” Rosa smiled.

Harvey looked at Irene just then. “We will be leaving today.”

“Safe travels,” Irene replied.

Harvey pursed his lips. “I thought you’d say the next part too.” Irene was actually puzzled. “The next part? What is

it?”
