Enchanted By His Charm



The next day, Cassie asked for leave, and Roy personally called Joseph, and Roy kept persuading Joseph for a long time. Finally, after listening to him, Joseph was very calm, and he said, "You just want to ask for your wife's early maternity leave? It would help if you asked Cassie. After all, she likes the job, and you are asking for leave in advance, and the position can not be vacant, so she needs someone else to fill it up."

Roy explained, "Joseph, you are really rational enough, but I have to admit that if you do not do so, The Runestone Group could not work so well. Don't worry, I've told Cassie, and she knows our child's safety is the most important."

Joseph admitted.

It had never been necessary for the chairman of any company to personally request the general manager's involvement in personnel dispatch, except in the case of the Runestone Group.

Irish began to actively engage in the joy of being an aunt.

Cassie had to stay at home, feeling bored, while Shirley, on the other hand, was feeling happy. However, due to Ruby's sadness, Shirley couldn't leave her side and remained by Ruby's side throughout.

Police had closed the case, and Emery was finally determined to commit suicide because someone witnessed Emery jump from upstairs when no one was around.

That was, she was not threatened and abetted by others.

This was the result that Ruby could not accept, and she was more willing that Emery killed, so at least her anger and sadness could be exported.

Shirley was deeply concerned about Ruby's situation, and she remained by her side throughout the day, providing constant companionship and support.

In fact, Cassie also wanted to go over to comfort Ruby, but at the thought of her deep prejudice against Joseph, she gave up. There was a feeling called "You will hate her bird when you hate her." 

Joseph was not only Irish's husband but also a close friend of hers. However, Irish harboured concerns that Ruby might not approve of her or have a favourable opinion of her.

Ruby increased the number of service staff, so Cassie felt like she was a greenhouse flower.

And Shirley could certainly not help, which made Cassie take a little relief. In fact, if Shirley came, she would really be very nervous. Later, Cassie's mother came to help, and Cassie was happier, mainly because she liked to eat her mother's dishes.

Now, Cassie had ample time to accompany Irish on shopping trips. Whenever they stepped out the door, Cassie seemed to radiate with an air of regality akin to a queen embarking on a grand tour.

On this particular day, Irish had also made arrangements for them to go shopping together at the mall, specifically focusing on selecting items for women and babies.

When Cassie spotted a pair of adorable small shoes, she couldn't help but inquire about the price. To her surprise, the price tag revealed a cost exceeding $3,000. 

Cassie protruded her tongue and said, "It's very expensive."

Irish closed her lips, and generously said, "I will send it to you."

Cassie repeatedly refused.

"It's toddler shoes, and the material and arc design are crucial factors," Irish explained to Cassie. "Besides, they're not meant for you. When I have children, you can buy a pair for $6,000." With that, Irish proceeded to the counter to make the payment.

"I would never take advantage of you, don't worry. I'll buy them for you," Cassie assured Irish, though her heart felt a twinge of sadness. Deep down, Cassie understood that Irish was genuinely longing to have children, and the situation tugged at her emotions.

Irish giggled and remarked, "You have a conscience, don't you?" 

After purchasing the shoes, they stumbled upon a dessert shop and decided to take a seat there.

As Irish was about to sit down, her phone rang, interrupting their moment of relaxation. 

"Who could be so oblivious to disturb our happy time?" she muttered irritably as she answered the call.

Cassie indulged in a sweet dessert while discreetly eavesdropping on Irish's conversation. Unexpectedly, she noticed a sudden change in Irish's expression, causing her own curiosity to intensify.

After Irish ended the call, Cassie couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and promptly inquired, "What happened? Your expression seemed to change during the conversation."

Irish replied, "It was my aunt who mentioned that Jay had returned to New York with Lilith."

Cassie's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Is Lilith okay?"

Irish responded, "She is currently in Concorde."

Without wasting any time, Cassie quickly suggested, "Then let's hurry and go see her."

"Don't go, Cassie. You're pregnant; it's not safe for you to visit the hospital," Irish objected, expressing concern for Cassie's well-being. However, Cassie remained adamant and disagreed with Irish's suggestion.

"Well, never mind me. Let's go," Cassie insisted, gently tugging Irish's arm. "Even if you send me home, I'll still be worried. It's best for us to go and see Lilith."

Irish contemplated for a moment and ultimately agreed with Cassie's reasoning. Understanding the urgency and importance of the situation, they decided to proceed to the hospital together.

****

Jay had brought Lilith to the local hospital, but to their disappointment, the doctors could not diagnose her condition despite conducting various tests. All other bodily functions appeared normal. After consulting with Lenard, Jay decided to transport Lilith back to New York in search of better medical expertise and resources.

Upon arriving at the hospital in New York, the doctors swiftly initiated treatment for Lilith. After conducting a thorough examination, the doctor provided a definitive answer: it was highly probable that someone had administered a significant dosage of hallucinogens, resulting in Lilith's state of unconsciousness.

Jay grew increasingly concerned about the possibility of a high dosage of drugs being administered to Lilith. However, the doctor who examined her explained, "At this stage, we haven't found any specific evidence. All we can do is wait for her to regain consciousness, and then we can closely monitor her condition and make further observations."

When Mary and Steve arrived at the ward, they found that William and Kelly had already arrived earlier. William anxiously questioned the doctor about Lilith's condition, seeking any updates or information.

The doctor provided some reassurance, stating that barring any complications, the patient should regain consciousness either during the night or, at the latest, by tomorrow morning. This hopeful news offered a glimmer of relief amidst the uncertainty.

Jay expressed his intention to stay in the hospital to support Lilith during her recovery. 

However, Kelly lashed out at him, accusing him of feigning compassion and holding him responsible for the situation Lilith found herself in. The atmosphere became tense as blame and emotions ran high within the group.
