You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 89

Edric's face darkened when Irene walked away without turning back. Lily said tearfully, "Edric, go and get Irene. Talk to her. I'm fine." "Why should I? We didn't do anything wrong!" Edric helped Lily up. "I'll take you to the hospital to treat the wound."

While the doctor was treating Lily in the operation room, Edric stood alone outside, feeling irked. How could Irene be so cruel? How could she be so heartless?

A surprised voice rang out from behind all of a sudden, "Edric? Why are you here?"

Edric turned around and saw that it was Marie. Edric then nodded politely and greeted her, "Madam Walker, nice meeting you!"

"Edric, I have something to check with you." Marie pulled Edric aside. "I heard from your mother that you broke up with Lily. Is it true?"

Edric nodded. "It's true."

"That's good! That's good! Then, I wouldn't have to be worried anymore." Marie looked relieved.

"What's the matter, Madam Walker?" Marie and Lily's relationship had been quite good.

What was the meaning of her current expression?

"Edric, you mustn't tell others about this. Didn't Lily have a miscarriage three years ago?" Marie asked.

Marie lowered her voice and added, "After that, she has always been unwell; she'd been having quite a number of gynecological issues. Some time ago, she came to see me. I checked her body and found that she was no longer fit to have a baby."

"What did you say?" Edric was stunned.

"The miscarriage three years ago had caused great damage to her body. Lily might not be able to have a child for the rest of her life!" Marie sighed. "She is such a good, beautiful, and kind lady. Why would God allow such a fate to befall on her?"

Edric was shocked by the news. How could that be? "Madam Walker, are you sure?"

"Edric, I am an expert in this field. Why would I lie to you?" Marie exhaled deeply.

"Ever since I found out that Lily was in poor health, I have been feeling so unsettling. You know, your mother wants a grandchild so desperately. If she knows that Lily can't be pregnant, she will certainly not accept Lily. I have been her friend for many years, and I don't want to deceive her. I feel so terrible being caught in such an awkward position. I have just gone to see your mother, and she told me that Lily has broken up with you. I'm so relieved to hear that. But it's a pity for Lily. She's such a good girl; what can she do about her future life?"

Edric turned around blankly. Lily could never ever conceive again! Lily couldn't give birth because of the miscarriage three years ago!

It was unimaginable. Lily was such an innocent girl. Marie was right. Lily was such a kind person; she should not bear such pain. It was all because of him and Margaret. He must do right by Lily.

Besides, Margaret had become estranged from Irene. She was still lying in the hospital bed, lamenting that she wanted Irene to go to jail. Irene on the other hand, didn't manage to see his painstaking efforts at all.

Lily had ended up in such a state because of him. Right then, Irene's heartless words flashed across his mind. "Don't dwell on the past. Edric is the past and he is with you now. He's now but a filthy, disgusting man in my eyes. I will never accept him anymore!"

Irene commented him as a filthy, disgusting man! How could she be so cruel? How could she convict him of such a crime without listening to his explanation? She was going to leave him! Since she didn't love him anymore, it would make no difference whom he married then. He would just marry Lily!

After two days on IV drip, Eden's fever finally subsided. Irene and Thomas discharged Eden from the hospital. They stayed in Kinsey's house temporarily because they hadn't found a house yet.

Irene began to look for houses. She went to several real estate companies. In the end, all of their rentals were over her budget.

Later, Kinsey called Irene and claimed that she saw a notice about a house for rent on the internet. The rent was ridiculously cheap. Kinsey had contacted the house owner and asked Irene to go to inspect the house immediately.

It was a three- bedroom house, and it was tastefully renovated. The landlord told them that he wanted to rent the house out because he was going abroad. He wasn't going to make money from the rental; instead, he just wanted someone to help him look after the house. Therefore, the rental wasn't set at the market rate. Most importantly, the tenant must be someone he deemed kind and friendly.

After meeting Irene, the landlord expressed his willingness to rent the house to Irene with the condition that she wasn't allowed to have pets, and that she should take care of the house as her own.

Irene gave him her word immediately. From the conversation, the landlord found out that Irene was a single mother, and truth be told, he felt very sympathetic towards her. Thus, he reduced the rental further. Irene was also told that if she had difficulty settling up for the rental in advance, she could pay it when she had the ready money at the end of the year.

Irene was very grateful to have met such a good person. Later, she signed the contract with the landlord and paid three months worth of rent.

After settling the house issue, Irene could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Jordan passed a message to her through David, stating that she didn't need to rush back to work. She could return to the company once everything was settled.

If it weren't for the existence of those disgusting beings in her life - such as Margaret and Lily, Irene felt that her life was actually pretty good.

When she returned, she was in a particularly good mood. She told Thomas about the new house. Thomas was delighted to hear such good news too. "You've indeed met a good Samaritan."

Eden was excited to hear that he would have his own room. "Mom, I want to take a look at the new home." "Okay, I will take you there tomorrow." Irene rustled his hair and smiled.

Amidst the joy, Irene's phone rang. She picked it up and realized that it was Steven on the line. "What's the matter?" she asked.

"Irene, come out of the house for a while. I have something to tell you." Thomas did not like Steven. Steven knew that too, hence he always avoided appearing in front of Thomas.

Irene resented Steven even more after her previous meeting with Lily. However, since he was now here for her, she could take the chance to interrogate him. With that, she went to see Steven.
