Isaac looked up at Irene just then. "Yeah?"

She wanted to ask if Debbie was responsible, but realized that she had no proof.

"What is it?" Isaac held her gaze, sitting on the bed just then.

Irene hesitated for a moment, but eventually asked, ' Did you tell Debbie to come back after James’s accident?"

"No," Isaac replied. "James had her transfer back earlier."

■Really?"

Irene thought that Debbie did that to James just to make it back, but since the case was the exact opposite, it would look

as if she had no motive.

It meant Irene's hunch was wrong, and could she have been paranoid?

However, she knows that Debbie wanted Isaac, and would be only too eager to return to Isaac's side.

"What is it?" Isaac asked.

Irene shook her head. "It's nothing."

"Okay. Now get some proper rest," he said, pulling the blanket over her.

"Yeah," she said, and closed her groggy eyes.

Isaac waited until she fell asleep before leaving, closing the door behind himself.

misunderstanding. How could you demand a divorce at the drop of a hat?"

Zachary held her gaze. "She cheated on me."

"I didn't! You set me up just to find out what happened to Lulu!"

Ember had already resolved herself to go the distance because she would never allow Zachary to be free from her.

As for Mrs. Slate, she was even more determined to side with Ember at the mention of Lulu, taking her words at face

value.

Moreover, she had gone through great lengths to make this marriage happen-how could she let it end so easily?

"What a jinx, causing problems even from the grave!" she blurted.

Zachary turned to glare at her right then. "What? How did you know Lulu is dead?!"

The Lindts glared at Mrs. Slate too, so she hastily came up with an excuse. "It's just a rumor."
