Chapter 344
Mrs. Watson arrived just then and asked, “What’s going on here?”
Tommy was asleep, and if this went on, the baby would wake up.
Even so, Stan put his finger on his lips and shushed her!
As Mrs. Watson quickly turned silent, he explained softly to her, “Don’t disturb him.”
He knew why Isaac was seething, and that Isaac was just venting at the moment.
After all, Henry had raised him, but tried to use that as leverage against him.
Though Isaac never did anything to Quincy because of Henry, how did his grandfather repay him?
He was probably hurting because the one who hurt him was family.
“Should we ask Mrs. Jefferson to come home?” Mrs. Watsons quietly asked.
Stan agreed that it was a great idea, since Isaac needed company right now.
“Yeah, do it.”

reach her.”
Stan sighed as well.
Meanwhile, Isaac stood with his hands clasped behind his back in his study. What remained of a teacup lay beside
his feet, its contents now drenching his toes.
His frame was towering yet lonely–light filled in but was just illuminating just half of him, keeping his expression
inscrutable, and his thoughts unfathomable.
Over at Melville Hospital, Irene was following Stephen into surgery.
She had been very busy since she started to work at the hospital as his student, and would assist him in every
surgery he performed, in addition to her own clinic duty.
He was basically letting her do all the menial tasks, affording her no free time.
It was only three hours later when they stepped out of the operating room, but before Irene could catch her breath,
Stephen sent her to compile a patient’s medical history.
“Put everything in a folder and leave it inside the center drawer of my desk. Make sure no one sees it,” he told her.
“Okay,” Irene replied.
Later, as she carefully put everything together, she glanced at the patient’s photo and found it familiar.
She soon remembered–she saw her face back at Jefferson Manor in another photo. It was kept in a photo frame
beside a box, and when she knocked it over, Isaac’s ensuing reaction was so violent the moment was etched clearly
in her mind.
That photo was of Isaac’s parents, and the patient’s photo held a strong resemblance to Isaac’s mother!
The resemblance was striking… Could she be a relative of Isaac’s mother?
However, she was aware that Isaac’s mother was an only daughter, and she also learned from Stan that Isaac’s
maternal grandparents had also passed away years ago.
That meant Isaac’s maternal line was gone, and without any relatives alive in that family tree, this patient was
probably not related to them.
And doppelgangers are known to exist in this world anyway…

drawer.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you done yet?”
Irene promptly shelved those thoughts and put the folder in the drawer, before walking up to Stephen and asking.
“Why aren’t you keeping her file with the other patients‘?”
“She’s my wife’s friend,” Stephen flatly replied. “Special privilege.”
“Oh.”
Stephen then told her, “We have a new patient. He has a congenital heart defect–take him to imaging.”
“Okay.”
As she did, she passed by the ultrasound room and saw the ‘journalist‘ she noticed before.
Chad Ross was lending her an arm, grinning ear–to–ear but being careful nonetheless. “Are you alright, darling?”
The journalist‘ nodded.
Irene had thought that the ‘journalist‘ resembled Whitney before… And it turned out that she was Chad’s wife too?
Was that why he married her?
Honestly, Chad was so hopeless…
