Isaac's tone was sharp and ironic.

"You? What else do you have left? Stephen was left stumped right then.Certainly, all the honors and

accomplishments he accrued over his career were gone, and he was slapped with the disgrace of

causing a death by negligence before his retirement.But Isaac was the reason for all that! As such,

Stephen stubbornly snarled, "Fine.Do whatever you want to me and my family. I can't tell you a thing

anyway, because I know nothing."

"You don't give up, do you?"

Isaac beckoned for someone to bring a chair which he sat on and crossed his legs casually, appearing

lofty and indomitable.

"James, bring his family here."

Stephen panicked right then—he was fine with whatever they would throw his way, but he did not want

his family involved.

"I would have told you if I knew, but I don't.What am I supposed to tell you?!"

"The doctors who helped you with Irene's surgery have already confessed that she's alive, and you

switched a burned body with hers," Isaac growled as he leveled Stephen a sharp look.

"You know very well where she is—so stop pretending." Stephen feigned composure despite his fear.

"They're lying.I don't know a thing."

Isaac leaned against his chair, but he was clearly impatient.

"Being soft with people like you only makes things worse.Do it, James— I'll take responsibility even if

things get out of hand."

"Stop! Not my family!"

Stephen had been busy with work in his younger years and never spent much time with his family.

After he was forced into a dishonorable retirement, it was his wife who stayed at his side as they

weathered through the difficult period after.

He would not allow his wife to suffer because of him again, or his child to encounter danger and

difficulties at work.

Moreover, he knew how Isaac did things—he had firsthand experience.

"I- I can tell you, but under one condition—"

"You are not in a position to negotiate." Isaac simply cut him short.

Stephen clenched his fingers and looked Isaac straight in the eye, and suddenly laughed.

"Did you know why Irene left you?"

He wanted to ask Isaac to support Irene's career, and in turn tell Isaac where she was.

However, Isaac decided to go overboard, giving him no quarter— in that case, he had no reason to let

him off easy! On the other hand, Isaac remembered how determined she was in pushing him away,

and said, "She thought that I didn't love her..."

"No, you're wrong."

Stephen laughed.

"It's Irene who doesn't love you.Back in that OR, she was grabbing me and begging me to help her run

away from you."

Isaac's placid expression started to crack, and Stephen continued when he saw that.

"She said being with you was painful."

Even if he had no idea what trouble he would get Irene into just for saying that, he knew that it would

hurt Isaac, knocking his insufferable butt off his perch.

Isaac would otherwise continue being pompous! Stephen wanted payback too, because it was Isaac

who pressured the chief of Melville Hospital into framing him for a patient's death —even if the patient

was obviously beyond saving.

Forced to retire and stripped off all honors, everything he worked so hard for over the years crumbled

overnight.

He would be lying if he said that did not bear a grudge.

Deciding that it was not painful enough, Stephen continued, "That's not all—she was already in love

with someone else, and even bore his child!"

Isaac's eyes narrowed into dark slits, his calmness vaporizing into fury.

He was a lion ready to pounce!

"Fuck you!" he growled.
