Stan said, "It's me, Mrs. Jefferson.”

Irene’s eyes lowered slightly and said flatly, "Yeah."

Stan was silent for a while before answering, "The doctor said soon." Irene did not even need to guess—while Stan paused, he was actually asking Isaac what to say.

"Stan, is he hiding something from me?" she asked then with a threatening edge in her voice.

Stan was speechless.

He certainly would not dare to speak out of turn where Isaac was concerned, but that meant he had trouble answering Irene too.

If he said something wrong, he would have to suffer Isaac's abuse.
