Chapter 716

Irene found the voice familiar, as if she had just heard it last night.

She turned around and found Moneypenny standing behind her.

She could not help taking one step backward while asking warily, "What do you want?”

"We need to talk," Moneypenny said, and quickly explained, "Master Jefferson doesn't know that I'm here. In fact,

he's too sick to order me around. Coming to see you was my own decision."

"We have nothing to talk about." Irene refused him right away, and started toward the building again.

Still, Moneypenny jogged up and stood in front of her. "Master Jefferson has made errors in judgements, but having

you marry Master Isaac was definitely the best thing he had ever done."

Irene knows that Moneypenny was appealing to her emotion, just as she never forgot everything Henry did-be it

good or bad.

She had decided to see past it since it was in the past, but she would still hold Henry's treatment of Isaac against

him.

He was clearly treating Isaac unfairly, when he was the one who hurt Isaac first.

As for her, the only thing she must do now is to sever all contact with Henry, and let them live their own lives.

"I'm begging you. I know that you are a doctor with honors and influence. Maybe you can help Master Jefferson-"

"I'm afraid I can't help you-he has brain cancer, while my speciality is cardiovascular diseases!"

With that, Irene turned away and strode off, leaving Moneypenny standing there helplessly.

He turned in dejection and returned to the hospital, where Henry was laying in his sickbed.

His life was only sustained by medication, including a monthly injection that cost 150,000 per month.

Still, the cost was nothing to Henry, since the Jefferson estate was still loaded-their lifestyles were hardly affected

even after the fall of Light Group.

"She's not coming?" Henry asked just then.

Moneypenny did not dare to answer him directly in fear that it would shock him, and instead turned his crosshairs

on a nurse. "What are you doing? Don't you know how to do your job, or you can't see that Master Jefferson's lips

are parched?! Get him some water!"

The nurse quickly went toward the water dispenser, only for Moneypenny to snap, "Save it. Get out of here."

He poured a glass of water for Henry himself, but Henry refused it. "Answer my question already."

Moneypenny sighed. "It seems that she's taking after Master Isaac now, after being with him for so long."

In other words, he was telling Henry that Irene's stance was exactly like Isaac's.

"Fine. I'll see her myself."

"Your body can't take it," Moneypenny reasoned. "I just need to make a few more trips."

Henry shook his head. "That's not going to work."

He understood Isaac, and that the only way to reach him was Irene, since she just might prove reasonable.

"I'll call the doctor to check on you. I'll prepare a wheelchair if he allows you to leave," Moneypenny said, and Henry

nodded.

Lulu Adams was working as a clerk.

Zachary Slate has not found her since, and she was going to look for Ricky Spencer after work today, to tell him to

send Barbara and her husband

home.

She did not have to hide now that Zachary was not stalking her, and they still had much to live for.

She was going to leave when her doorbell rang.

She stiffened, wondering if Zachary was here again.

Was he really not giving up?

But this time, she was not averse-she actually looked forward to it ever so slightly.

Still, as she opened the door, the person lunged at her, knocking her to the floor before she saw who it was!
