NovelEnglishChapter 401 "Irwin," Jeannie said, glancing at him, "I think there's something wrong with your mother. Go to the nurses' station and get someone, quickly." Worried about Rosita, Irwin nodded at once and dashed out of the room to find a nurse.
As soon as he left, Jeannie quietly locked the door behind him.

Rosita frowned in her sleep, still trapped in snightmare, unable to wake.
Jeannie pressed harder. "Ms. Lockwood!" The sting snapped Rosita awake. She stared at Jeannie, still dazed, struggling to make sense of her surroundings.
"Wake up, Ms. Lockwood." Jeannie flashed her a sweet, almost innocent smile. "Now that we're alone, let's talk about Irwin, shall we?" Rosita's brow furrowed. "What about Irwin?" "His parentage," Jeannie replied, her eyes glinting. "Did you know you were talking in your sleep? You said Irwin's real parentage must be kept from Mr. Wentworth. I'm curious-what is Irwin's real story?" Rosita's expression shifted instantly. "I never said that, you must have misheard." "I recorded it." There was a calculating edge in Jeannie's eyes. "If you won't tell me, I'll just go and ask Mr. Wentworth myself." "You wouldn't dare!" "I'm Irwin's teacher, you know. Mr. Wentworth trustscompletely." Jeannie's smile grew even sweeter, but her tone was cold and threatening. "I care about Irwin, truly. That means I need to know everything about him. And it certainly seems you're hiding a big secret from Mr. Wentworth, Ms. Lockwood." Rosita went pale, her hands clutching the bedsheet, head pounding and thoughts racing.
"Time's running out, Ms. Lockwood," Jeannie said lightly. "Irwin's off fetching a nurse for me, but he'll be back any second. If you want to keep this between us, you'd better telleverything before he returns." Rosita stared at Jeannie, seeing her clearly for the first time.
"All this time, you've been obsessed with Stewart, haven't you?" "Obsessed?" Jeannie laughed. "And you have the nerve to accuse me? If we're talking about delusions, I'd say you're the one living in a fantasy." Rosita gritted her teeth. "Give it up, Jeannie. Stewart would never want someone like you." "Whether Mr. Wentworth wantsor not is none of your concern," Jeannie replied smoothly. "Let's get back to my question." Rosita glared at her.

"Ms. Jeannie, I brought the nurse! Please open up!" Hearing Irwin's voice, Rosita's mind spun in panic. Irwin must never find out! "Ms. Lockwood, I suppose I should let them in-" "No!" Rosita lunged forward and grabbed Jeannie's hand. "Wait! /et tell you everything, just promise me-you'll keep this secret forever. Please, I'm begging you." She was desperate now. "I promise, just please don't tell anyone." Jeannie arched an eyebrow and, satisfied, went to unlock the door.
Irwin rushed in the moment it opened. "Mom!"
Rosita reached out, gently ruffling his hair. "I'm alright, Irwin. Thank you for still calling'Mom. The content is |||| on novelenglish.net! Seeing she was okay, Irwin's face
clouded over. He stepped back a few paces. "If you're fine, I'll go now.m Please don't clooking foragain. Dad will be angry if he finds out." "Alright." Rosita watched him leave.
Irwin had to stay with Stewart. This was her last chance. Even if she and O Stewart had no future, as long as Irwin was revealed to be Randolph's son, Stewart would never tum his back on him. Everything the Wentworth family owned-one day, it would all belong to Irwin.
