Erin Gooding strode into the room. "Did you just say James Cross? He's a vegetable?”
Erin was Mick's adopted daughter, and Stephen naturally knew her.
However, he had no idea what got her so agitated...
"You know James?" he asked.
Mick was watching Erin too-was there something between her and James that he did not know?
Erin hastily explained, "1 met him when I was trying to ask Isaac Jefferson where my mother was
buried.”
"Oh, I see." Stephen thought nothing of it.
On the other hand, Mick knew his daughter-if she and James were mere acquaintances, she would not
get so agitated after learning that James fell into a vegetative state.
Breathing a sigh, he thought to himself that his child was an adult now, and it was time she left the nest.
‘You should go visit him."
Erin was actually surprised by Mick's words. "Dad...?"
"Gol' Mick waved her off. "Just don't forget your way home."
Erin bit her lip. "Thanks, Dad."
With that, she ran into her room to pack her bags.
Stephen was actually perplexed. "What mischief are you up to this time?”
‘You can tell? She and James Cross..." Mick gave him a look that said 'you- know-how-it-is’.
Stephen realized with a start. "You mean they're dating?”
"Shush. Keep it to yourself,” Mick told him.
It was not as if Stephen was being a blabbermouth-the sudden tidbit was simply shocking.
Mick then checked his watch and got to his feet. "Time to go.”
"Go? Go where?” Stephen asked, but he was already following Mick.
"Isaac's flight will arrive at six. Let's go get him* Mick told him.
Stephen glanced sideways at Mick just then. "I thought Isaac and you could not exist within the same
room."
“Beats me.” Mick was as surprised as him. “I don't know why he’s treating me differently now too.”
Stephen thought about it. "Maybe because he checked out Irene’s belongings back at Melville
Hospital."
Mick was emotional. "If I'm being honest, I'm grateful that he can forgive me.”
Back then, he was driven by his selfishness to secrete Yvaine away, denying Isaac a mother as a child.
There was no doubt that it was cruel for a child, but Isaac was able to forgive Mick-not because he
found out that Yvaine fell for Mick, but because Mick did save her and kept her alive for years.
Yvaine was always too gentle for her own good, and she would just keep getting hurt if she stayed at a
place like Jefferson Manor.
That was why Isaac was able to let go.
Mick had just reached the airport when Isaac disembarked, so he and Stephen quickly went to him.
"You must be tired,” Mick said in concern.
Isaac nodded slightly and glanced at Stephen. Still, he said nothing about his presence and simply
strode outside.
Both Stephen and Mick were used to it, and they simply left with him without taking offense.
Although they were here to receive Isaac, it seems that Isaac had more appointments, and he gave his
chauffeur an address instead of heading back to his hotel to rest.
They soon arrived at a mansion, and he alighted while telling everyone flatly, "I'm fine on my own."
With that, he strode toward the mansion.
For some reason, the mansion looked unremarkable, even mundane.
Stephen asked Mick, “Is he meeting someone?"
Mick replied. “Maybe, and I think we should go. He's not telling US because he doesn't need our help,
and I certainly don’t want to mess up his plans.
Stephen nodded in agreement.
At times like these, actions were far better than words.
Moreover, the pressure had always been on Isaac.
Ding dong.
Meanwhile, Isaac pressed on the doorbell outside, and the door soon opened!
