FreeNovelChapter 150 As Irene quietly explained everything, Isaac realized that while he had a general idea of what
happened, he did not have the details.
Now that he knew Samantha had picked that quiet place to attempt murder, he stiffened and asked,
“Were you hurt?”
Irene shook her head.
Isaac was relieved, and remembered the injuries she inflicted on Harvey as well.
She knew her way around a scalpel–she was not about to get hurt that easily.
Even so, she was a woman–she had limits to her strength no matter how smart she was.
“Be more careful next time,” he told her. “Contact me at once when you get in trouble next time.”
“Okay,” Irene said, her bright, crystalline gaze flickering just then. “Isaac, I…”
She wanted to tell her that she had a child just then, but swallowed her words just as it reached the tip
of her tongue.

Irene hung her head, wondering how she should piece the sentence. “I had something to say
yesterday, didn’t I?”
“Yeah?”
“I…”
Bzzt-
Her cell phone suddenly started vibrating in her pocket.
Isaac could see her hesitation. “Just say what you need to say. You don’t have to hesitate.”
Mustering her courage, she said, “I had a child!”
Isaac pursed his lips–she had told him that before.
For Irene’s part, she knew from his gaze that he thought she was referring to her other twin which did
not survive delivery… which was a lie.
“No, I mean…”
“I don’t mind,” Isaac insisted.
As her phone started to vibrate again, Irene became worried that it was Sheryl, and she could not
afford to wait if something happened to Tommy.
“Never mind,” she said, and turned to leave when Isaac caught her wrist!
His gaze was almost searing. “Where are you going? Just stay here for the night.”
“I have something to do,” Irene said quietly.
I
“What is it?”
“I have to contact my mom. My father is terminally ill, and he wants to see her. I should at least tell her
about it.”
It was a half–truth, but Isaac could not meddle anyway since it was serious business.
“Okay,” he said and let her go.
Irene strode out of his room, returning to her own and sitting on her bed to scroll through her call logs.

Hesitating for a moment, she then called her back, and Lulu quickly picked up.
“Irene…”
“Yeah. How are things going over there?” Irene asked, concerned about how things were going with
Lulu and Zachary.
Lulu did not answer, but Irene soon noticed sniffles from the other end.
“Were you… crying?” she asked.
Lulu did not respond, and Irene knew right then that she was in a bad state!
“What happened?” she asked urgently, but it seemed that Lulu was emotionally torn and could not
compose herself enough to talk.
“Where are you right now?” Irene asked then.
It took a while for Lulu to eventually answer, “I’m at Zachary’s place. Could you come give me a ride?”
“Of course,” Irene replied. “But I don’t know where he lives–I’ve never been there. Why don’t you send
me your location?”
“Okay,” Lulu replied.
