Chapter 569
Irene glared coolly at Debbie, watching as she left.
Her cool composure faded, replaced by aloofness.
Debbie was getting more daring by the day.
She must come up with something soon, or James would get killed if he was kept here.
"Debbie said that she is James's best friend," Erin asked just then. "But you don't seem to like her...?"
Not liking Debbie was putting it lightly.
'We just can't see eye to eye," Irene replied, refraining from discussing the past just then.
She must not let Debbie find out that she already knew that Debbie staged James's accident, or Debbie would resort to
drastic measures.

"Yes," Erin replied.
Even so, Irene was convinced that James would not be safe here-they had to get him out.
Irene then watched as Irene massaged James's body, and could not help commenting, "You're very good at this."
"I've been learning from his physiotherapist for a while," Erin replied.
The physiotherapist Zachary hired was certainly the best, being paid two grand per month and specializing in
everything from patient care to massages. It was not surprising that Erin would do well after learning from him.
Watching Erin for a while, Irene then asked, "You like James a lot, don't you?"
If there was no genuine affection there, no one would journey a thousand miles, putting forth heart and soul to a
person's care.
Erin lowered her head slightly just then, faint blushing appearing over her cheeks.
She did not know about that, only that she was so worried when she found out about James's accident and was
willing to stay to take care of him.
Perhaps she did like him-why else would she go so far for him?
"I'm going now,” Irene told her.
Erin nodded.
Then, stopping at the doorway, she added, "Try not to leave this room."
"I'm always here," Erin replied. "The physiotherapist would be around if I'm not."
"Good. Well, I suspect James's accident was no accident, but I don't have evidence yet. still, I'm concerned about his
safety, so I'll be asking Zachary to switch hospitals-"
"Who would want to hurt him?" Erin suddenly bounded up to Irene, looking her straight in the eyes.
"Calm down-l'm still investigating the matter at the moment," Irene assured her softly. "But you shouldn't tell anyone or

Erin nodded. "I'll do anything for him."
Irene clapped Erin on the shoulder. "Very good. Anyway, I have to go-1 still have things to do."
As Erin nodded again, Irene left the hospital and headed home.
Back at Rose Garden, Irene found Ricky carrying the dog and playing with Tommy, who was laughing very happily, his
little eyes narrowed into slits.
As she entered and took off her jacket and scarf, Mrs. Watson came to take them, saying, "You really shouldn't leave the
house during your postpartum recovery, ma'am."
'I won't now." Irene smiled.
While Mrs. Watson put away her clothes, Irene entered and said, "Ricky, come with me."
They entered the study, and Ricky asked, "What's up? I was just having a good time with Tommy there... Also, you were
heavily pregnant the last time I saw you, but your belly is flat now. Did you deliver the baby already? Is it a boy or a girl?
Why didn't you bring the baby home?"
Irene felt her breath leave her lungs at the mention of the baby, while her heart clenched and her face turned pale.
'What's wrong? Are you sick?" Ricky asked.
