Chapter 559

Mrs. Watson replied, "I have.’

Irene nodded and got off the couch, carrying Tommy back to their room.

Mrs. Watson walked up to her, saying, "I can carry Tommy, ma'am."

Irene smiled. "It's fine."

Mrs. Watson naturally did not press the issue and instead asked, "Should I start unpacking the stuff on the table?"

Irene turned to look at everything on the table, and wondered if Isaac had really asked for it, or Debbie had decided it on

her own.

Whichever it was, putting it away was better just to be safe.

"Just shelve it for now."

"It's all supplements, and you really need it right now... Debbie must have brought it because Mr. Jefferson told her, and

leaving it here is a little wasteful..."

"Actually, getting too many supplements would be harmful instead," Irene told Mrs. Watson mildly. "Just shelve it for

now."

"Yes, Mrs. Jefferson." Mrs. Watson did as she was told, while Irene returned to her room.

Tommy usually napped in the afternoon, and he was now getting drowsy.

He soon dozed off as Irene carried him around, patting him on the back a little.

While he was almost estranged from her, he did not reject her-he was even a little curious about her, the person

who suddenly showed up in the house, and he was nice enough about it.

Irene got a little sleepy after coaxing him to sleep, and since she was frail after labor, she dozed off too.

There was no telling how long had passed when the door suddenly swung open.

Opening her eyes to find that it was Sheryl, Irene's mind cleared up a little as she sat up, asking softly, "Did you find

him?"

"No." Sheryl kept her voice low as well, worried that she would wake Tommy. "The mansion was sold to someone

else."

"What?!" Irene exclaimed in surprise. "But, how? I thought it was left under your name..."

"Everything your father left me was in the mansion. I only brought my clothes here," Sheryl said, appearing

disappointed. "He must have stolen everything."

On the other hand, Irene was pensive.

Why would Ricky sell everything in the house for no reason?

And where was he? Why would he go missing?

As she pondered for a reason, she got to her feet. "I'm going out."

"Where do you think you're going? Everything is gone," Sheryl said as she caught her. "And you should be taking

your time to rest."

Irene looked her in the eye right then. "I'm worried that something has happened to him. Did you know that

Spencer Holdings went bankrupt too?"

Sheryl certainly had no idea-she basically never left this apartment ever since Isaac arranged for her to babysit

Tommy here, and only stepped out to take Tommy on short strolls without going too far.

She did not have much in the way of human contact either, and therefore had no idea what was happening out

there.

"How did that happen?"

"It's a long story," Irene did not go into detail, but it really would be horrific if Ricky really went missing just like Lulu

did.

"But where are you even going to look? Isaac’s not around... Maybe you should call him?"

Irene understood that Sheryl was concerned, but Isaac had even more problems on his plate-calling him now might

just get him distracted.

The food that Debbie brought was a point in case-she was worried about eating it, so she had Mrs. Watson shelved it for

now.

While she could call Isaac about this and ask if Debbie did it under his instructions, she just did not want him to have to

worry about home too.

"I can't depend on him for everything," she said-or she would be a burden to Isaac, like Debbie had put it.

"Well, who would you go to?" Sheryl asked.

'1'11 go to a precinct," Irene said.

"Alright, but I'm coming with you." Sheryl was worried.

"It's fine. Isaac has arranged a protection detail for US," Irene told her. ’

They will be following US wherever we go."

"At least dress in layers."

Irene did so, wrapping herself up tightly.

Sheryl brought a cap and a scarf too, to prevent Irene from catching a cold.

'You should always keep this on or your neck would get stiff," Sheryl said as she wrapped the scarf around Irene's neck.

Irene, however, knew that Sheryl was helping her hide the scars on her face and neck.
