Chapter 462

Irene was frowning. What was Harvey doing here first thing in the morning?

She was not sure how to react to him.

'What are you doing here?"

'1 bought you breakfast-l'm making this a routine everyday from now on." Harvey was not being shy either and quickly squeezed his way in.

Irene was wearing white baggy lace pajamas that covered up to her ankles and wrists, and naturally her belly.

She stroked her belly a little before walking up to Harvey, staring at him as she said, "If you have the time to bring me breakfast, you should instead head back to talk to Isaac

already."

Harvey was speechless. Why did she have to mention that killjoy of a man?

’I'll be gone after this."

Irene sat down at the table then. ’Can't you be less childish, Harvey? You're not exactly young."

’How am I being childish?" Harvey was actually upset-he was sincere about bringing breakfast.

He did read online that women loved men who cared and paid attention to details, so he was doing his best!

’You're being childish right now," Irene told him.

Harvey blinked and even played cute. "Okay, I get it. You don't like what I brought, so I'll bring something else next time..."

’Harvey-”

’That's enough," Harvey said, cutting her short. "Come on, eat-l still have a plane to catch."

As Irene sighed, Harvey urged her, "Sighing is bad for the baby. Come on, eat already."

’I need to wash up first," Irene retorted.

As Harvey returned to Zidonia, Mark happened to be on the same flight, and he arrived at Twinrise just as Harvey did.

He managed to get a meeting with Isaac before Harvey, having put together a viable proposal and learned much about the details and general concept of the fully artificial

heart.

Though he was more confident now, his proposal did not hold water because he failed to poach the doctor in question.

He appeared withered like a dried leaf, and even though Isaac read his proposal, he could tell from his reaction that he stood no chance.

To no surprise, Isaac put away the proposal and said, "You can go now."

Mark sighed. "It's as if no one ever sees the big picture these days... I thought she'd be more agreeable since she's Zidonian, and yet...!"

She refused to meet him, let alone sit down for a discussion.

Naturally, Mark was hanging his head as he stepped out of office, and Harvey could not help smiling when he saw him.

After all, Isaac did not manage to poach the talent he wanted, and had no idea that the doctor they were all gunning for was Irene herself!

He honestly felt that he and Irene were destined together.

She was with him when she had her first child, and they had basically spent every day together until the child was born.

And now that she was pregnant again, she split up with Isaac again while Harvey managed to recognize her.

Such fate was something to marvel about!

And this time, he would definitely not let Isaac catch on.

'Mr. Gooding? Mr. Jefferson will see you now," Debbie the secretary told him just then.

Harvey straightened his collar although it was actually just fine, reared his chin, and puffed his chest as he entered Isaac's office.

’I have a proposal," he said, pulling out a chair for himself as if he belonged there.

Isaac slowly looked up and said flatly, "I'm busy."

Harvey, however, had an entire speech prepared.

'So, I have been to Mead Clinic myself and did my research on their fully artificial heart project. They've already conducted multiple trials, and the success rate is high. I know

you're a businessman and won't care about the big picture, let alone care about some dying peasant. You only have feelings for money now, but you know how massive a

market there would be once this thing hits a breakthrough."

'When that happens, every country including ours would be wagging our tails to Minerva, begging for scraps. Our own patients would either have to do without it or have to

pay a huge price for it, and some might have no choice but to wait and die. Poaching has never been a good idea anyway- so, I'm proposing something else: I found out that

Mead Clinic is under the direct financing of the Raideen family, and we just need an investment to secure partial shares for the project. Once the product hits the market, we

can ask for a markdown just for our own country."

'How about acting like a conscientious businessman for once, Isaac?’
