Then, everyone burst into laughter!Tommy was confused—why was everyone laughing? Did he say something wrong? Why did he feel like he was being mocked and why?Blinking his round, large eyes, he asked, "Why is everyone laughing?"Irene simply picked him up to her seat. "You just stick with me, okay?""Why?" Tommy asked.Irene had no idea how to explain, when Zachary butted in. "Because you're a bother."Tommy frowned. "How did I bother you?"Zachary was speechless, since Tommy was bothering James and not him. Still, he said, "James just got married and you're bothering his bride. How is that not a bother?""Aunt Erin is his wife, but she's my aunt! And she said she loves me more."Zachary grinned. "Well, James can really love your aunt—""Shut it." He was cut short as everyone was glaring at him coolly, his poor choice of words incurring their wrath.He gave in immediately. "Okay, my bad."Irene in turn coaxed Tommy to sleep, saying that the plane would land once he w

Irene's heart skipped a beat even as she stood outside the ward, and she could not hide the quiver in her voice. "It's that serious?"She was afraid to imagine how bad things were for Lulu that the officer would say something like that.Nonetheless, he said, "Go inside. You'll see."With that, Irene opened the door into the single-person ward.There was a person laying in the bed placed next to the window, and Irene strode over when she saw that person. However, Irene's pace was somber and she was afraid that something terrible had really happened to Lulu… until she stopped in her tracks suddenly.She could not recognize if the person was Lulu, since the person's face was bandaged.Irene turned, and the officer at the door nodded. "It's her."Irene gasped, her legs suddenly feeling like they were made of lead and weighing a ton.She was so close… yet the distance between her and Lulu felt so far!In truth, she was just afraid of moving closer.Nonetheless, she worked hard t

Lulu's gaze was evasive but calm in an instant, her voice frail. "I asked them not to call you, but they did anyway."Irene was calm and did not show any misery at all.Lulu was already in this state—she would not be able to calm down and focus on getting better if Irene showed her misery too.Irene took Lulu's hand, noticing the many punctures over the skin which were definitely left from needles, leaving bruising everywhere.She was afraid to hold Lulu too firmly, in fear that it would hurt Lulu.Lowering her gaze to stop Lulu from seeing the pain in her eyes, she asked, "If they never called me, were you going to keep suffering like this alone?"Lulu pursed her lips. "I just don't want to upset you!"Irene could not hold back then. "You're still concerned that I'd worry after this happened to you?" Before Lulu could say anything, Irene continued, "I've already told them that I'm taking you away. I'll get you a good doctor, and I know many of them. They'll definitely make yo

Lulu closed her eyes in exhaustion, and Irene tucked her in. "Rest well."However, Irene refused to abandon Lulu here and would make Lulu better no matter how hard it was.She stayed for a long while in Lulu's ward, many thoughts crossing her mind.Lulu would never get over Martin if she stayed here, and she might be able to leave her dark past if she started over in a new place and started anew.She spoke to the officers, who agreed to her request considering Lulu's condition—the only condition was to get Lulu's consent.Irene insisted that she would, and one of them said, "If you can convince Lulu to accept treatment and live well, you can ask us for anything you need."In fact, they would have done everything they could for Lulu given what happened to her.Irene did not need anything, however. "Just arrange for a vehicle for when I take her away.""Leave that to us. Don't worry."Since the officers were not arguing, Irene just had to work Lulu patiently.She knew that word

Lulu asked, "Why do you insist on taking me away?""Or what, am I supposed to not care while you get yourself killed?" Irene snapped, not abiding with her self-destructive tendencies just then. "Has anyone lived their lives without facing setbacks and rough patches? Is that worth getting killed for? There wouldn't be that many people alive if that were the case.""Did they suffer like I do?" Lulu countered.Irene was stumped, but there definitely had not been many who suffered like Lulu did.Even so, Irene pushed on. "It's always darkest before the dawn.""I'm tired," Lulu replied, shaking her head and reluctant to speak further.Irene knew that Lulu was refusing to see reason and pressed, "If you're not going to do it for anyone, do it for Jean. Just think about it—what if Zachary marries someone and Jean has to live with a stepmother? You should know very well that the stepmother would definitely abuse Jean and put her through all the pain in the world. In fact, you weren't all

Lulu felt uncomfortable along the journey to Minerva.Even if she decided to go with it, she had no idea if she could really be properly treated there."You'll definitely get better," Irene assured her. "And don't worry—no one will find out."Lulu nodded as the plane began in descent.Medical staff from the hospital were on hand to receive them, with Irene making the arrangements. Although her social circle was not exactly huge, most of her acquaintances were involved in the medical field.And with Isaac, Irene did not have to worry about money to get Lucas the best care.Naturally, all the doctors and the treatment were first-class, and the plastic surgeon she got was incredibly accomplished. Irene certainly had to make an effort to reach out to him, and he was supposed to be on leave.At the airport, they moved Lulu into an ambulance that took her straight to the hospital, with Irene keeping her company.Before the surgeries, Lulu had a series of medical examinations, and I

"The patient's injuries are extensive," the doctor replied. "We need further examinations before surgery and plan the surgery accordingly."It was certainly better to be safe than sorry. "Thank you," Irene said. "I'll do my best to treat her since I took her in as a patient." The doctor smiled. "I'm a perfectionist—I don't know what she looked like before or whether I can restore her face to the way it was, but I'll definitely make her look good."Irene agreed—it was fine not to reconstruct Lulu's original appearance as long as the plastic surgery was a success.After Lulu stayed at the hospital, it was medical examinations and planning the surgery over the next few days.Plastic surgery was not Irene's speciality, but she was allowed to be present and judge the success rate of the surgery with her own knowledge.After days of discussion, they planned over a dozen surgeries, both major and minor.It was possible for changes too, and Irene understood that.When she told Lulu

Irene quickly took Lulu's hand. "I'm here. The surgery was a success—you have nothing to worry about.""Yeah," Lulu replied, staring at Irene. "I'm very thirsty…"Irene poured her a glass of water since Lulu had to lie down and refrain from moving, and she felt much relieved from her parched throat after having a drink."I'm done with my first surgery. When are you going home?" Lulu asked then."I'll book a plane ticket in a couple days," Irene told her.Irene was still in a dilemma—she had to find someone reliable to take care of Lulu before she did, and she would feel ill at ease if she asked a stranger.She wanted to ask Mrs. Watson since she trusted her, but doing so would arouse Zachary's suspicion.Though that idea just did not seem right, there was no other option."You're stressing me out if you keep staying here," Lulu said feebly then."Don't worry and rest," Irene told her. "You're just done with your first surgery—you need to stay healthy for your second."Lulu re
