Chapter 382

Irene was going to explain herself when Layla said, “She had a fight with her boyfriend. I saw them and tried to help, so I let her in.”

Mick turned to level a sharp look at Irene. “Really?”

Irene nodded. “Yes. It was a coincidence…”

“You know her, Mick?”

As Layla glanced between Irene and Mick, Mick walked over to put a hand around her shoulder. “She’s Stephen Carr’s apprentice. I saw her when I met him.”

Layla’s tone became even kinder just then. “You’re a doctor?”

“Yes,” Irene admitted.

Suddenly, Layla held her head and frowned as if in pain.

“Another headache?” Mick asked mildly.

Layla nodded.

“Let’s get you back inside for your meds.” Mick led Layla inside, then turned back to Irene and warned, “I don’t like people who pry into my private affairs. I won’t play around if I find out that this wasn’t a coincidence!”
