Chapter 289
Isaac lowered his gaze just then, but he was only able to see the top of her head. “Would you be upset if I told you that I knew Ricky’s bomb was fake?”
Irene looked up in surprise. “What? You knew?”
“Yeah,” Isaac replied-he knew it was a fake the instant he saw it.
Nonetheless, Irene smiled. “So what?”
After all, he was definitely tested when he tried to save her.
Even if the first one was a dud, the second one was real.
So this was the warmth of a person.
As a child, Sheryl had been too meek while Lionel was too overbearing, so she never felt much warmth from her family.

In fact, Isaac himself did not either.
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door just then, and Sheryl’s voice could soon be heard. “Irene? Ricky is awake.”
Irene had told Sheryl to inform her right away when Ricky recovered, since she had questions for him.

She quickly sat up and said, “Got it.”
Sheryl was going to leave, but remembered that Isaac was just as hurt as Ricky was, and so asked in concern, “Is Isaac up yet?”
“Yeah,” Irene replied, glancing at Isaac.
“Is he alright?”
“He’s fine. He just needs a few days’ rest.”
Sheryl breathed a sigh of relief.
She certainly did not want anything happening to Isaac-it was not easy for her daughter to find someone she belonged to. What would happen to her if Isaac was really hurt?
*See? My mom cares about you,” Irene said with a smile. “I’ll go check on Ricky-I’ll be right back.”
“I’m coming too,” Isaac said, sitting up as well.
Irene helped him up, but said, “You’re hurt.”
“It’s no trouble,” he replied, since he was not all that hurt anyway.
Irene had no choice but to help him.
Although he was wearing a patient’s garb, he still towered over her, and he chuckled as she put his arm over her shoulder. “I’m very heavy.”

“Are you sure?”
Irene did not see the mysterious look on his face, and replied, “I’m sure.”
However, she had barely spoken when Isaac pushed her down on the bed beneath himself.
Her eyes widened in surprise before she blinked. “What-”
Biting her lip, she whispered, “We’re in a hospital. Get off me.”
She was worried that others would see them.
Isaac, however, stayed on top of her, his gaze tender yet blazing.
Irene somehow felt thirsty from his stare-no one could resist that look.
She reached up with her lips to kiss him, wrapping her thin arms around his neck.
Isaac passionately kissed her back, and soon there was tongue involved.
As they embraced each other, they were bent on conveying their feelings in the most primitive way… when the door suddenly swung open!
