    Chapter 446


    When the door opened and Irene saw the person standing outside, she eximed in surprise, "You?!"


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Stephen contacted me and gave me your address," Mick Gooding told her. "He wants someone to


    take care of you, since you''ve just arrived and probably not used to this ce.”


    Irene did not let him in immediately-naturally, she had her concerns.


    "Don''t worry,” Mick assured her. "Stephen told me everything-your secret is safe with me."


    It was only then that Irene let him in.


    While Mick survived a car crash, he was injured considerably. It was only thanks to the advancement of


    medical technology that he made a full recovery.


    Even so, Yvaine''s death still hit him badly-he looked much older now, and the tip of his hair was turning


    white, as if he aged a decade in an instant.


    After Mick entered, he gave Irene a business card. "Here''s my number and address. Contact me if you


    need help.”


    Irene took it out of politeness. "Thank you."


    "You don''t have to. I mean, didn''t youe here because you helped me, and got into an argument


    with Isaac?" Mick asked.


    Irene shook her head. "No, it''s our own problem-it has nothing to do with you."


    "Then may I ask the reason?"


    Irene stayed silent, clearly reluctant to tell him.


    Knowing that he had stepped out of line, Mick said, "Alright, just pretend I never I never asked."


    Irene smiled faintly then, but she clearly appeared enfeebled-she was tired and wanted to rest.


    Mick saw that, and got to his feet. "I''ll check on you again next time."


    Irene walked him out.


    Time passed in the blink of an eye, and Irene had now been abroad for six months, getting used to the


    climate and the work hours.


    Things went smoothly at work too-she had been singled out and even harassed, but her enthusiasm


    and diligence for medicine slowly earned everyone''s approval.


    While she worked, she started to further study Minervese. She had been fluent before, but she still


    needed to learn more especially if she wanted to apply it with medical jargon as well.


    In truth, she knew more than a handful of foreignnguages. She was forced to study it even if she did


    not want to and had no time for it, but Lionel Spencer had told her to do it or he would stop her from


    taking her exams for a medical license.


    Lionel had always wanted her to marry into the Jefferson family. From his perspective, a woman who


    could win a man''s heart had to be learned in the arts, though knowledge and socializing skills would


    also y a vital role in the case of a more sessful man, since any woman would be an embodiment


    of her husband''s prestige.


    Lionel certainly had vision, rating his own daughter highly from the start and insisting that she win Isaac


    over.


    He would have been pleased if he was not dead, since his n worked-he just did not live to see Isaac


    fall for the daughter he groomed with such painstaking effort.


    It was veryte and Irene was still in front of her desk, which was piling with stacks of books and notes.


    Her hair was loose, hiding her gruesome burn scars so that she only showed the wless side of her


    face.


    There was a tender look in her eyes beneath the faint glow of the table light, and she put down her pen


    to put a hand on her bulging belly, while she stared at her calendar.


    It would soon be Tommy''s birthday, and her clock jingled just then, indicating that it was now 12 AM.


    She constantly missed her baby and thought of him often, and the arrival of his birthday made him miss


    her further.


    She then picked up her phone, her fingers clenching over it fora moment as she hesitated, but made


    the call!
