    Chapter 664


    Irene could not care less that her face was heavily bandaged.


    She aligned and dashed into the Twinrise office building, heading straight for the front desk when she


    spotted James stepping out.


    "What are you doing here?" he asked.


    "I''m looking for Isaac. Where is he?" Irene asked right away.


    "He''s out to deal with something," James said. "Is it urgent? Do you want me to call him back right


    now?"


    Irene thought about it, but gave up. "It''s fine."


    She decided that she could wait until Isaac came back, and she turned to leave.


    When she returned to the hospital, she managed to make it back to her ward before Seth did his


    rounds and he helped her change her bandages.


    "Can I stay home to recover instead?" Irene asked just then. Seth chuckled. "Do you hate the smell


    here? Aren''t you a doctor yourself?"


    "No, it''s just cabin fever," Irene said.


    "Well, sure. Actually, if you don''t want toe here, I can visit your home to change your bandages


    every other day too."


    Irene quickly rejected the offer—Isaac was already upset, and the misunderstanding would worsen if


    she allowed Seth in her house.


    "Forget it. [ think I''ll just stay here!"


    Seth smiled. "You seemed afraid of me visiting your house."


    "Nope." Irene denied it, then asked, "By the way, why did youe back to Zidonia?"


    Seth lowered his head to hide his reaction, but he then grinned. "Business is booming here. Can''t you


    see that all our wards are full?They''re all young women too—it seems that they''re not content with their


    looks."


    Irene was actually left in awe, but it was truedies did get self conscious about their looks these


    days, neglecting their health instead, which was disagreeable for Irene.


    "You don''t think that''s good? But if you think about it in another way, our hospital would be bankrupt if


    not for them." Seth chuckled. "Actually, I have a favor to ask... 1 don''t know if you''d help, though."


    "What is it?" Irene asked.


    "You mentioned that you worked at Mead Clinic before, yes? I have a rtive who has a heart


    condition, and I was wondering if you could take a look."


    "But as you can see, I can''t work in this condition—it''s inconvenient. Also, isn''t it good that your rtive


    is in Minerva, since medical facilities there are as good as the stuff we have here?"


    Irene was not rejecting him, but stating the truth.


    Moreover, Jeff Cartman was their mutual friend, and Jeff could help as far as cardiovascr conditions


    were concerned.


    Seth smiled. "Actually, my rtive is in the country. I just wanted a diagnosis, or is that ago?"


    Irene quickly said, "No..."


    "Oh? So what''s it actually gonna be?" Seth asked, almost pushy suddenly.

    Irene did a double take, surprised by Seth''s attitude.


    She pursed her lips. "You did a perfect job with my surgery, and I owe you that... How about I check on


    your rtive when I''m better?


    "Thank you," Seth said.


    Irene actually felt a little concerned just then.


    It felt like Seth was making a deal—an equivalent exchange with her, as if all old sentiment was gone.


    Though she smiled faintly without answering, her impression of Seth had changed.


    He certainly was not mild and soft-spoken like his younger self, but time does change everything —


    including people.


    The thought relieved her when she understood that, and since Seth was not particrly important to


    her, she did not pay him much heed.


    After he changed her bandages, she reseted in the ward until around 3 PM before returning home, and


    she waited for Isaac toe home in the evening to clear the air.


    Even so, he never returned, and she got a bombshell instead!
