Chapter 176

This time, Irene finally turned her gaze toward him, but her eyes were filled with nothing but contempt and hatred.

She wanted to tell him to get out, but she couldn't move or speak. All she could do was glare at him with eyes full of loathing.

Brian, however, simply acted as if she were throwing a childish tantrum. He gently patted her head and coaxed, "Come on, Irene, don't be like this, okay?"

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and getting upset isn't good for you."
