Chapter 389
Mick started to panic right then–why was Isaac showing up here, and with Layla at that?
Seizing the moment as Mick let his guard down, Irene rushed to Isaac’s side and told him quietly, “That woman is
Yvaine Lynd.”
She knew that she just had to say her name, and Isaac would understand.
Isaac lowered his gaze at her, surprised that she would say something like that.
She knew that he was investigating Layla?
However, now was not the time for the questions–he was here because James Cross had tracked Layla to this
hospital. After running into her on the walkway, they followed her here.
On the other hand, Mick was paranoid that Isaac had come to take Layla away, and kept her behind his back while
glaring at Isaac warily. “What do you want?”
Irene was just about to speak when Isaac raised a hand to stop her, while gesturing for James to pass the DNA test
results from before to Mick.
“What’s this?” Mick was clearly reluctant to take it, let alone look.
James shoved it at him again, “You’ll understand when you read it. Even if you stayed abroad, the Gooding family of
Sunny City is still more or less a dynasty–it’s not that hard to track you down.”

“What…”
They found him already? How did they do it so quickly?!
What on earth was going on here?!
Mick then turned toward Irene. “You told him?!”
“You were keeping me here,” Irene countered. “And I wouldn’t even have the time.”
She knew that in truth, Isaac had already been investigating Layla.
James appeared to hold contempt for Mick’s behavior. Pointing at the DNA test results, he said, “You’d better read
that.”
Mick had a foreboding feeling just then, and read it, stumbling backward when he saw that it was a DNA test.
Layla quickly rushed to his side, holding him up. “What’s wrong, Mick?”
Mick’s face was pale even as he stiffened and kept reading, and he saw that the test confirmed Layla and Isaac
were mother and child.
His fingers loosened, and the papers drifted down the floor.
When Layla reached for it, Mick quickly picked them up and tore everything into pieces. “Lies. All lies.”
“Mick?” Layla watched him uneasily, convinced that he was being overly dramatic. What happened?”

Mick squeezed her hand. “It’s fine–it’s nothing. Let’s go home.”
As he put a hand around Layla’s back, however, she could feel his body shaking.
Even so, she softly assured him, “It’s alright. I’ll stay by your side whatever happens.”
Those words left Irene turning toward Isaac–even though he remained mostly impassive, she could see his cheek
stiffening for a split second.
At the same time, Layla and Mick reached the doorway. “Excuse me, but you’re in the way.”
Isaac stood there motionlessly, however, and merely kept his eyes on her calmly.
James felt indignant for Isaac, and walked up, saying, “Ma’am, you’re actually-”
“James,” Isaac suddenly said, cutting him short. “Let them go.”

But he must be torn inside.
His mother was right there, but she did not recognize him.
There was no way he was unaffected–he was just hiding everything inside.
Unbeknownst to any of them, Layla turned around to look at Isaac after heading into the distance.
An unusual look in her eyes appeared for a moment, but she soon turned away, and it was as if nothing ever
happened.
Meanwhile, Irene walked over to Isaac and held his hand while turning to Stephen.” May I take the day off, Dr.
Carr?”
Given the mess just now, Stephen certainly knows that Irene would not be in the mood to work.
“Yeah,” he said with a side.
Irene tugged at Isaac’s hand. “Let’s go.”
With that, they left the hospital, with James driving.
It was eerily silent in the car–Isaac never spoke, so no one did.
Nonetheless, Irene eventually broke the silence.
“Your mother doesn’t remember you due to something surgically implanted in her brain. I don’t know what it is, but
I have a hunch that it hampers her memories.”
Isaac turned toward Irene right then!
