    Chapter 552


    Isaac had to coax Tommy with his toys before the boy finally let go, and Sheryl scooped him up in her


    arms. "Come in already."


    "Yeah," Isaac replied, and headed to the bedroom with a hand around Irene''s shoulder.


    Once he closed the door behind himself, he swiftly gathered her in his arms, knowing that she was


    saddened that Tommy had grown distant to her.


    "I know you love him, and how difficult it was for you to keep him back then. He loves you, but he


    needs time to remember since you''ve been gone for a while.”


    Irene knew that, but she just could not help feeling despondent, so Isaac had to gently pat her on the


    back.


    After a while and her mood improved, Isaac let go and said, "I''m getting a bath ready.”


    He headed inside the bathroom, prepared a tub full of hot water that filled the room with vapor.


    Then, he helped her undress, but Irene caught his wrist. "I can do it myself- =


    "I''ll help," he insisted, not because of libido, but only because he wanted to take care of her.


    It had just been three days since her C-section, and she was not supposed toe into contact with


    water.


    Isaac soaked a towel to rub her body, gently and meticulously, and when that was done, he applied


    ointment to her scar and helped her put on the pajamas Sheryl prepared for her.


    Once that was done, Isaac took a quick shower, changed into fresh clothes, and followed her


    downstairs.


    After a brief moment of respite, everyone had calmed down.


    Sheryl had Tommy sit beside Irene, beside the table full of piping hot food.


    Ladling a bowl full of steaming soup for Irene, Sheryl said, “Here. This will keep you warm."


    "Yeah," Irene said, holding it with both hands and taking small sips.


    She really did feel warmer.


    After that, she started to put food on Tommy''s little te,He was sitting in his highchair, able to eat on


    his own without help.


    The food Irene gave was his favorite, and he would scoop everything with his tiny spoon into his mouth,


    and Irene felt her heart sing even as she watched.


    Once dinner was over, Sheryl urged her to return to her room, since she was still in her postpartum


    stage and needed to be careful.


    Irene did so, returning to her room with Isaac since Sheryl and Mrs. Watson would clean up after them.


    Still, she kept standing since she just ate, and asked, “Where''s James Cross?"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    After all, she had only seen Debbie the secretary but not James.


    Isaac''s expression changed slightly just then. "He... He''s incapacitated."


    It''s rare to see him being cagey, so Irene pressed, "What happened?"


    "He had an ident," Isaac admitted-he would rather not mention it since it was terrible. "He''s now in a


    vegetative state.”


    What?!


    Irene was at once shocked and heartbroken.


    How did that happen to James?


    "It''s fine-don''t worry about it. You should be resting.” Isaac pulled up a nket andid her down while


    saying, "I''m going to check on him now."


    Irene nodded, since it was the least Isaac could do. "Yeah."


    Still, she suddenly remembered something as shey down, and she called out to him. “Isaac...”
