Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear.

Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1
Irene Spencer was married to a bridegroom who never showed up at their wedding.The bed sprinkled with rose petals that formed a distinct heart shape, along with the decorations within the suite, were all a slap to her face.It was humiliating! It was unbearable! However, there was nothing she could do about it! All her life, she had been under the control of others ever since she was born.Even her marriage to the Jefferson family was because of her father's greed.Her grandfather used to be Mr. Jefferson's chauffeur and had sacrificed himself to save Mr. Jefferson in an accident. Her family managed a small company and incurred a serious debt. On the verge of bankruptcy, Irene's shrewd father predicted that they had already reached the limit of favors they could ask for from the Jeffersons. As such, he resorted to sacrificing Irene for the sake of his personal gain—by proposing to Mr. Jefferson to have his grandson, Isaac Jefferson, marry her. It was overwhelmingly advanta

The hospital chief said, "That's her, Whitney Cox—she was on clinic duty last night."Stan entered, glanced at Whitney's name tag, and said, "Come with me."Whitney was puzzled. "What?""Oh, just go," the hospital chief pulled her along, seemingly not in the mood for questions. "Don't keep Mr. Jefferson waiting."Soon, Whitney was in the chief's office, where Isaac was lying on the couch. One would notice his tall and broad frame immediately, and it would take a second look to see that his lips were pale. The thick smell of antibiotics in the hospital hid the scent of blood that lingered on him as well.He was dressed in all black, exuding a domineering aura, with a single look enough to instill fear in a person!Stan walked up behind Isaac, leaned downward, and whispered, "They must have destroyed all the cameras to destroy any evidence of their presence. Also, this is Whitney Cox—the doctor on clinic duty last night. The hospital chief confirmed it, and I checked the records as

It was Irene's upperclassman, Zachary Slate. They had graduated from the same teaching hospital, though he was her senior by two semesters. Being a returnee, he was pretty famous in the country now, but he had always taken good care of Irene, and they were good friends."Shoot." Her reply was brisk."I have an outpatient visit to make, but something came up. Could you sub in for me?"Irene glanced at that time. She only had two surgeries in the afternoon and no outpatient visits for the day, so she had time in the morning. "Sure," she replied. "The address is Unit 306, Section A, Rose Garden. Tell them that you're looking for a Mr. Hill—Security will understand.""Okay.""Also, don't mention this case to anyone else at all, and don't ask the patient any questions. Just treat him—that's all you have to do," Zachary instructed her solemnly. "Got it," Irene replied, hung up, and headed straight to the designated address. Rose Garden was a luxury residential area, where privac

Keeping her head down, Irene walked up to her Gladstone bag. She did not forget her obligation as a doctor as she said, "You shouldn't let your stitches come in contact with water. Apply antiseptic once per day, and try to wear loose clothes that don't brush against the stitches."Putting down several small packs, she added, "These are pills for oral use, and this is the antiseptic.""Okay," Isaac replied flatly without turning around. Naturally, Irene said nothing in return and left with her bag.It was almost eleven after she caught a taxi to return to the hospital. She had a simple meal at the cafeteria but was summoned to the hospital chief's office once she returned to the clinic. His expression was solemn as if there was something he was hesitant to say, but eventually, he told her, "I'm going to let Whitney Cox take the internship at the Second Militarized Zone." Irene was stunned, but she did not give up immediately. "Didn't you agree before that I would be going?"

Zachary had come hitching a ride from Isaac to meet up with Irene.When he saw that it was Whitney coming instead, he alighted. "I'm leaving."After that, Whitney got in and sat opposite Isaac, feeling insecure since she realized that Isaac had mistaken her for someone else.However, she already experienced the benefit of his influence—the chief of the hospital had always admired Irene, but Isaac just had to speak, and Whitney was given the internship at the Second Militarized Zone instead.She had made up her mind to keep him.Such an opportunity—such good fortune—would only happen once in a lifetime. It was a blessing from the gods, and she must therefore seize it. "I've made up my mind," she said, looking up.Isaac twitched—he did not expect her to decide so quickly. Though he appeared unconcerned, he was actually curious about her answer."I don't want anything."Whitney knew for sure that something important must have happened, which was why Isaac had offered to take her
