Chapter 285
Even as Irene and Isaac’s eyes met, Ricky asked, “Why aren’t you answering? Hah! You don’t love her,
do you? After all, a man like you can have any woman you want-why would you even get worked up
over one woman? If anything, you’re keeping my sister… No, you’re keeping Irene just because she
gave you a child!”
Irene never considered that, and when Ricky suddenly said it, it somehow made sense.
Was Isaac being nice because he loved her, or because of Tommy?
Ricky’s words certainly affected her, and if Ricky knew that, someone as smart as Isaac should know
that as well.
That was when Isaac started walking toward her.
“Don’t come!” Irene exclaimed “The bomb!”
Isaac did not seem to hear her, however, and kept walking.
Irene blinked even as she watched him, blinking back tears as she smiled faintly and sobbed, “I’m sure
you love me.
“You’re really stupid, aren’t you? He hasn’t said a thing and you believe him already?” Ricky exclaimed
with a tone that said ‘I’m-doing-this-for-you.” “It’s only proof that he loves you if he dares to die with
you!”
Irene turned toward Ricky. “Wait, what are you doing?”
“Testing him, of course.” Ricky said, looking at Isaac. “If I press this button and he still doesn’t move, I’ll
believe that he isn’t responsible for my mother’s death, and that he truly loves you.”
With that, he pressed the button.
The timer on Irene started to count down in turn.
60, 59, 58, 57… They did not even have a minute!
Irene screamed at Isaac, “Run! You have to run!”
She did not need Isaac to prove his love like this-if they both died, Tommy would be orphaned.
And would Tommy survive, with all the enemies Isaac had?
The answer was almost certainly no, but if Isaac survived, he would be able to protect Tommy.
Nonetheless, Isaac merely smiled at her with a mysterious expression, leaving her speechless.
Was he crazy, laughing at a moment like this?!
“Think about Tommy oof-”
Isaac had leaned in to kiss her before she finished, while the timer kept ticking away.
45,44, 43…
“I know you’d be afraid if you were alone. So I’m staying with you-so you won’t be afraid,” Isaac
whispered beside her ear then..
Irene’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening even as her lips trembled.
“You’ll die…” she rasped.
Isaac simply embraced her in turn. “I’m so happy to have met you, Irene.”
Irene’s throat turned parched and scratchy right then.
She was afraid, but with him staying with her, having someone face death with her did not make it that
horrifying.
At that very moment, she believed that Isaac loved her.
“I’m sorry,” she said, resting her head against his chest. “I shouldn’t have doubted you.”
Isaac put his wide palm over her cheek, stroking it gently.
His hand was firm and warm, and calmed Irene’s heart as if magically.
The bomb continued to tick away.
10, 9, 8…
3, 2, 1.
Irene closed her eyes then, feeling no conflict or fear-because Isaac was with her.
And yet, seconds passed… but nothing happened.
What?!
