Irene glared at Liora , unable to stand her tone , and retorted , “ Are you threatening me ? Go ahead , sue me then . The doctors all confirmed back then that Yorick’s liver cancer had nothing to do with me .
“ If he hadn’t drunk that poison for you , do you think you’d even be alive right now ? ”
Liora smiled gently . The next moment , she suddenly pulled out her phone and said , “ I recorded everything . ”
Irene’s face instantly paled . She lunged to snatch the phone , barking , “ Delete that right now . ”
“ If you’re not scared , then what exactly are you afraid of ? ” Liora said coolly , locking her phone screen as she spoke . She let Irene snatch it , but when Irene couldn’t unlock it , Liora just smiled and calmly took her phone back .
Liora said coolly , “ It’s passcode – locked , but you can’t even open it , so what’s the point ? Do you think deleting the recording would make the truth disappear ? ”
Liora leaned in close to Irene’s ear and whispered , “ I’d rather not dredge up the past , but I have only one demand : leave my son alone . ”
Irene glared at Liora and said , “ I hope you rot in hell . ” In the end , she could only watch helplessly as Liora , coughing violently and leaning against the wall for support , slowly walked away .
Furious , Irene grabbed a pillow off the bed and hurled it at Liora’s retreating figure .
When she was left alone in the room , Irene looked at her still – trembling hands , Liora’s threatening words echoing in her ears . Suddenly , memories came flooding back .
She remembered she wasn’t always like this . When she married Yorick , she was gentle and kind . When she was pregnant with Jonathan , before Liora ever came into the picture , everyone praised her as a good wife .
Unlike others , she never had morning sickness . She used to tell people her baby was heaven – sent , certain he would be a well – behaved child . Yorick doted on her back then . That was the happiest year of her life .
She thought her happiness would last forever , but then Liora appeared , and everything changed . And that’s when her personality utterly transformed .
Jonathan visited Irene at the hospital . Seeing that she was fine , he said bluntly , “ You should get discharged . No need to stay here any longer . I’ve booked you a flight back to Nareigh for tonight . You can go back now . ”
Irene asked tentatively , “ I heard that Liora’s son , Sanford , got detained . ”
Jonathan glanced at his watch and said coolly , “ He’s been detained for almost three days now , ”
Irene asked , “ Are you going to sue him ? Make him suffer in prison for a year or two just to teach him a lesson ? ”
Jonathan shot back , “ And why shouldn’t I ? ”
Irene fell silent . Her expression was a tangled knot of suppressed pain and sorrow . Under Jonathan’s piercing gaze , she said , “ Jonat ! don’t press charges .
“ Detain him for a few days . That should be enough . I’m sure he won’t dare do it again . ”
Jonathan asked , “ Why ? ”

Avoiding eye contact , Irene said , “ It was your grandfather who pressured me . Hayden said Sanford is your father’s bloodline , part of the Lynn family . He doesn’t want to see you two turn on each other . ”
Jonathan’s gaze turned steely . He said , “ I’ll handle Grandpa . Don’t worry about it . ”

Irene sighed and said , “ But your grandpa is such a stubborn old man . You should just drop this whole thing with Sanford . He’s already been detained , and everyone knows he was just slandering . It won’t affect us at all . Let’s just leave it at that . ”
Jonathan sat on the edge of Irene’s bed , fixing her with a hard stare . He asked , “ Are you being this kind to the other woman’s child ? Besides , Liora got pregnant behind my father’s back . Don’t you hate her ? ”
