    Chapter 689


    "I don''t want to throw away everything I''ve learned,” Irene admitted-she was passionate about her


    work, and she was convinced that she must not lose herself or give up on her career no matter who


    she married.


    In fact, she wants to be his equal, instead of being a yes-woman-or at least have a career if that was


    not possible.


    Isaac thought about it for a couple seconds. "Would you give up if I said no?"


    "l..." Irene trailed off, sending his displeasure.


    Before she coulde up with something to convince him, he added, "I can give you anything you


    want."


    He was telling her that he could give her everything else.


    Irene lowered her gaze. “I insisted on bing a doctor despite my father''s protests. I really love my


    job.”


    Isaac simply wiped his face and threw the towel into the basin. "Think again.”


    With that, he strode out.


    Irene tried to follow, wanting to exin that Dennis did not give her much time and she muste to a


    decision.


    "Isaac..."


    "I have a lot on my te."


    He really was busy, and had no time to discuss the matter with Irene.


    "I''m going now," he said, giving her a peck on the forehead before leaving.


    Naturally, being busy was just a part of it-he did not want to argue with her, and he wanted her to give


    up on her own.


    As she nted herself on the couch, Sheryl Harris saw the despondence on her face and came over,


    asking, "Are you sad that the wedding was called off?"


    Irene looked up at her mother then, and remembered how her mother had suffered her father''s


    betrayal.


    Irene hence made up her mind-a woman must never give up on their career no matter what.


    "No," she said, giving Sheryl a serious look just then. ‘Can you take care of my children if I start


    working again, Mom?"


    "Of course!" Sheryl agreed to it without hesitation, since she understood how much trouble Irene went


    through just to get her medical license in the first ce. "You have nothing to worry about. Just focus


    on your work, and I''ll take good care of them!"


    "Thanks, Mom,” lrene said, wrapping her hands around Sheryl''s waist like a spoiled kid.


    ‘That''s enough of you. You''re a mother of two children-when are you going to grow up if you keep


    acting so childish?"


    ‘I''m always a child around you.” Irene smiled.

    Sheryl gave her a loving pat on the back and said earnestly, "Always be true to yourself no matter what


    happens."


    Sheryl herself had suffered because she gave up on everything else after marrying Lionel Spencer. It


    was why she had nothing to depend on when Lionel had an affair, making her subservient to him, and


    Irene had to suffer because of her too.


    And considering all the trouble Irene had to live through, she would never stop Irene from having her


    own career.


    Isaac might be exceedingly sessful, but that also meant many women were waiting to throw


    themselves into his arms. Even if he loved Irene for now, who knew what would happenter?


    As for Irene, she returned upstairs after getting Sheryl''s support, and she called Dennis to say that she


    would be willing to seed him as director of Hotmesh Research.


    Dennis was delighted, and he asked her to visit the research center if she had the time today, to get her


    familiarized with various tasks.


    "Of course," Irene replied. She then washed up after breakfast before leaving.


    There were naturally things to discuss and procedures to follow before Irene could take over as


    director, and it was not until the afternoon when she was done.


    Before she got home, however, she got a call from Seth Hedge.


    "Do you remember the sick rtive I mentioned to you before?"


    Irene naturally did, and she had agreed to help before. "Should I take a look at your rtive now?"


    "Yeah."


    ‘Which hospital?"


    Seth gave an address, and Irene had the chauffeur drive her there.


    Seth was already waiting when she arrived.


    "I''m good friends with the hospital''s chief. You''ll have all the convenience you need,” Seth said.


    Irene nodded. ‘Where''s your rtive?"


    "He''s waiting for you in the ward."


    Irene found the phrasing weird. "Waiting for me?"


    "Yeah."


    Soon, they arrived at a ward that was quiet and isted.


    But when Seth opened the door and Irene entered to see the man on the couch, she became rmed.


    Him?!
