You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 71

That punch hit Edric in the eye. He was in so much pain that he let go of Irene at once. Instantly, Irene pushed him away as she was scared that he might go near her again. Edric adjusted his body position to protect Irene a while ago. Hence, when Irene pushed him with

such great force, he fell and hit the food trolley.

The loud sound shocked Irene. She looked over, only to see Edric lying on the ground with soup all over his body.

The waitress who was pushing the trolley was so scared that her face went pale. She kept apologizing as she helped Edric up.

Irene's face at this moment was still plastered with stupefaction. Edric's eyes were beaten black and blue by her. The expression on his face showed that he was clearly in pain then. She subconsciously reached out to help Edric. Suddenly, a scream came from behind, stopping her actions. Irene looked back and saw Rowane's face full of horror.

Seeing Rowane, Irene immediately withdrew her hand and turned to go straight to the private room.

Until the end of the banquet, she didn't see Edric come back. Irene was a little worried as she didn't know what Edric's condition was.

After the banquet, Jordan was a little drunk. Irene sent him back before heading home. On the way, she received a phone call from Kinsey. "Irene, I got sick, and I'm currently hospitalized. I'm so bored. Can you come and accompany me?"

"I'll be right there." Irene told the taxi driver to turn around and go to the hospital.

Kinsey had a severe cold associated with bronchitis. That was why she was having an IV drip at the hospital. When Irene arrived at the hospital, Kinsey was playing with her phone with the IV by her side. Irene said, "Kinsey, can't you stay put while having an IV drip?" "I'm too bored. It's great that you're here." Kinsey put down her phone and began to chat with Irene. Soon, the topic came to Edric.

"That Edric really can't change his sh*tty habit, huh? He is actually having another affair again this time. I would really like to know Lily's reaction after seeing the news," Kinsey said.

Irene smiled. "There's better news. Edric's lover seems to be pregnant." She then told Kinsey what had happened that night.

Kinsey guffawed aloud. "Wow! You did well. You should've treated him like this from the beginning. If he dares to hurt you again next time, break his neck!"

Later, Kinsey said that she was hungry, thus Irene went to buy her a midnight snack. However, never did she expect to bump into Rowane in the hospital's hall. Rowane was stunned for a moment upon seeing Irene. After coming back to her senses, she marched toward Irene with a beam. "Miss Nelson, are you here to visit a patient?"

Irene didn't wish to have a conversation with Rowane; she just nodded and left. Before she could exit the hospital, Rowane added, "Edric is here, too. He is in the VIP ward on the eighth floor."

Irene ignored Rowane and strode away. Rowane's last statement was still ringing in her mind once she was outside of the hospital. What was Rowane thinking? Why would she care about Edric's hospitalization? She even told her where his ward was. Did Rowane believe that she came to see Edric?

Wait, why did Rowane think that she came to see Edric in the first place? Did Rowane perhaps know the relationship between her and Edric?

There were very few people in San Fetillo who knew about her past with Edric. Since Edric was willing to tell their relationship to his new lover, Irene reckoned that Rowane had a very high place in his heart.

Irene felt a little displeased, but she tried her best to hold back her emotions. She went to a nearby store to buy some snacks for Kinsey. After Kinsey finished her supper, she chatted with Kinsey for a while before they heard Eden calling Irene on the phone, "Mom, why haven't you come back yet?"

Kinsey chuckled and remarked, "I almost forgot that you still have your most important treasure in your house. Alright, I'm fine now. Go back and accompany your son. Remember to send breakfast to me tomorrow morning." Irene chortled and agreed.

The next morning, Irene went to the hospital with some light breakfast she personally cooked for Kinsey. Looking at the food, Kinsey frowned and said, "I thought you would prepare a big meal for me."

"I'll treat you to a big meal after you recover. All these will help with your bronchitis," Irene commented.

"Alright, I'll take it as it is as of now, but it's a promise, okay? After I recover, you must treat me to a big meal. I would drool whenever I think of the chicken steak that you cook."

"You're flattering me!" Irene glared at Kinsey. "After you recover, I'll cook it for you every day if you want me to."

"You can't go back on your words, alright?"

After talking to Kinsey for a while, Irene got up and left the ward. She trod to the hospital lobby. At that moment, a figure appeared from the side and stopped her. "Miss Nelson, let's talk!" It was Rowane.

Irene's brows became knitted at once. She replied, "I don't seem to have anything to talk to you about, do I?"
