You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 126

Only Irene and Steven were left in the ward. Steven looked at Irene and apologized, "Irene, I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I was bewitched..."

"Let the bygones be bygones," Irene interrupted Steven. "You don't have to apologize to me. I should apologize to you instead because I am the reason that this matter was exposed. Presumably, I've embarrassed you, didn't I?"

"Irene, I'm so regretful. When I received the accusation letter back then, I had no choice but to marry Deborah. In fact, I only have your mother in my heart all the time..."

"Alright, Mr. Cook!" Irene interrupted Steven once again. "I have noted your apologies. You did not do anything wrong at that time. Everyone is selfish and will do everything for one's own good. For the sake of your own future, you have done nothing wrong. I don't blame you."

Steven's face flushed. Instead of looking in his direction, in a very calm voice, she added, "Now, let's talk about the solution of this matter!"

Irene, do you have a way to solve all these

negative impacts?" Steven stared at Lily in disbelief.

"When did I say that I will solve all these negative impacts?" Irene retorted, "It's a fact that your daughter, Miss Lily and Edric had an affair and got pregnant before getting married. I won't do anything to save her image. Everyone has to pay the price for their own behavior. Since she was bold enough to seduce Edric back then, she should bear the consequences of being a mistress," Irene replied.

"Then what do you mean by that?" Steven asked.

"I'm talking about you and me. I've caused you a lot of trouble since my return to the Cook family. It seems that my appearance is indeed a disaster for you. Not only did I affect your reputation but also your career. Therefore, we'd better go back to the past. It's good for everyone that we part way," Irene answered.

Steven gawked at Irene in shock and chirped, "Irene, that's not what I want!"

"I don't care, but I'm going to do what's the best for both of us."

"That's enough!" Steven covered his chest with his hand and coughed violently.

"Steven, what happened to you?" Deborah, who was standing outside and heard Steven's coughing, immediately pushed the door open and broke in. She held Steven while patting his back with her hand.

Steven continued to fight for his air before he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his mouth. Then, Irene saw bright red blood on it. Frankly, it looked quite shocking.

"Steven, you've vomited blood! Somebody, please come in!" Deborah shouted for help heartbreakingly.

"Dad, please! Nothing should happen to you!" Hearing the commotion, Lily rushed in too.

Irene stood there blankly. Steven had always been in good health. When did he become so sick that he actually vomited blood?

After that, some medical staff came into the ward. Irene retreated to the side. In the corridor outside the ward, she saw Jordan. "How's Mr. Cook?"

"He just vomited blood again!" Irene answered.
