You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 105

After Irene left the hospital, she immediately returned to the Cook family. She packed her luggage and went straight to the airport. Edric must be dreaming if he thought that she would be obedient and submit to him! She gave in the previous night merely for the sperms. If it weren't for Eden, she would not even pretend to follow his instruction and sign that stupid contract.

In the past few years with Edric, she had learned a lot about him. He could have an affair with another lady just to have a child. But, he would never be shameless enough to announce the affair.

She had been back for some time and she missed Eden very much. Although Nathan would report to her about Eden's condition every day, and she also got to talk to Eden every day, she still missed him dearly.

Irene decided to go see Eden and hide from Edric for a few days. She would return to San Fetillo during her ovulation period. If she could get pregnant at that time, she would leave immediately. Edric drove to the Cook family in the evening.

When Lily saw that he came to visit her, she was extremely happy. It was raining cats and dogs the previous night. She only caught a glimpse of the car that sent Irene home. It was very similar to Edric's car, but she could not see the license plate and the driver clearly. She called Loraine out of suspicion and was told that Edric had not returned home. When she saw the red marks on Irene's neck in the morning, she presumed that Irene and Edric must have slept together. This realization made her feel extremely uneasy. When she saw that Edric came to the door with a gift, she blamed herself for overthinking it. If Edric and Irene were together, he would have known about Irene's flight in the afternoon. How would he appear at the door now?

Lily took the gift from Edric with a smile. She invited him to sit down and made tea for him. At that time, Deborah and Steven had just returned home.

After they greeted each other, they sat down and chatted. Maisy came over to ask if they would like to have dinner. Steven looked at the time and asked, "Why isn't Irene back yet?"

"Irene has gone abroad!" Maisy responded.

"She went abroad?" Steven was stunned. "Was there any urgent matter for her to attend to?"

"I don't know. Irene said that she would stay abroad for a period of time," Maisy responded and went to prepare dinner. Edric, who was on the sofa, did not have any change in expression on his face, but his heart was instantly enshrouded by restlessness. He went to the Cook family that evening not to see Lily, but to look for Irene. He thought that he could find a chance to talk to her and to threaten her, but he did not expect that Irene would leave.

Maisy's dishes tasted splendid, but Edric had no appetite. After dinner, he sat in the living room for a while before he stood up and left.

While driving, he could not help thinking about Irene. His heart was in turbulence. He had to admit that Irene was no longer the innocent, kind, and lovely Irene she was before.

It seemed that he had to spend a lot of time and energy to get hold of her. He called John to investigate what Irene was doing abroad.

John brought news to Edric that Irene went abroad to see Eden. John also updated Edric that Eden was previously thrown into a stinky ditch of the hospital and ended up having a high fever. Later, Eden was diagnosed with leukemia.

Edric was dumbstruck. That lovely child was diagnosed with leukemia? How could God be so cruel?
