Irene was planning to move back to the Cook family. However, she did not expect Edric to call her that night. He told her that he witnessed Steven being hospitalized and asked if she planned to visit him.
Irene had happened to watch Steven on the TV regarding news of his meeting in the province the day before. Steven seemed energetic then. He did not look sick. Why would he suddenly be admitted to the hospital?
She recalled the time when Steven had pretended to be sick and hospitalized. Irene had a hunch that something must have happened to Steven during his meeting at the province, so he pretended to be sick again. So, she didn't take it to heart.
Not long after dinner, Maisy called to inform Irene that Steven had been admitted into the hospital because he had passed out. She requested Irene to head over to the hospital to visit him.
