The Runaway Groom Chapter 354
Stephen said, "It was Dr. Spencer."Harvey did a double take. "Oh, it was her?""Yes, but according to what I know about her, she definitely would not accept your gift either." Stephen said.Harvey smiled but said nothing—he and Irene went way back, and she would not be that tactless toward him.…When Irene arrived at Melville Hospital, she did not head straight to her department, but instead headed to Obstetrics and Gynecology and spoke to Lindsay Slate's attending physician. She wanted the doctor to call Lindsay over. Since they worked in the same hospital the doctor agreed to it. Soon, Lindsay arrived at the hospital with Chad. In reality, she would not have come at all if not for Chad. There were no issues anyway after she completed yesterday's checkup—even if her doctor suddenly said that there was a mistake and she had to come back."Doctor's orders," Chad told her, but Lindsay remained visibly annoyed."Would you like a drink?" he asked.Irene arrived just then

Irene could hear Lindsay, but she did not turn around or respond.However, Lindsay knew that her secret was out and that Irene knew who she was, so she simply gave up on pretending. "I know it's you, Irene Spencer—I've been careless. I should have recognized your voice, but I only caught on when I saw you checking my underarm." Irene finally turned around just then, and asked, "You know me?""There's no need to hide now. We both know what's going on. Don't you think we should talk?"Irene stared at Whitney, suddenly unsure what she was up to. "What do you want?""I just wanted to talk, but if you don't want to, fine." Whitney turned and started to leave, but Irene stopped her, and they headed to the staircase."I never expected that it'd be you who found out first," Whitney said as she stared at Irene. "Isaac Jefferson tried to kill me because of you. Don't you think I deserve to hold a grudge?""You deserved it. Do you still not understand what you've done? You are the reas

Whitney was rolling down the stairs!"Argh!!!"She did not want to give birth, and she could use this to frame Irene too.Chad was going to hate Irene for this too, since he was really looking forward to having the child—even loving it already. "Urgh…"It was a huge price to pay—it hurt like hell, and she was curling up from the pain.However, making Irene suffer made it worth it for her!Irene was left frowning as she finally realized what Whitney meant when she said she would suffer.She certainly had to give it to Whitney—the latter was ruthless enough to kill her own child!"You don't have my sympathy, Whitney Cox, because anyone who can kill their child like you is a reptile."With that, she left the stairs without calling for help—Whitney had done it to herself.Chad, who was looking for her, spotted her just then. "Have you seen my wife?""No," Irene replied, and left Chad to keep searching while she returned to her department.She barely took a seat when Stephen c

Taking Irene's silence as approval, Harvey followed her to the hospital chief's office.Even from a distance, they could hear Chad shouting and breaking various objects."Call Irene Spencer here now!" he was yelling madly.Harvey sneaked a glance at Irene to see no expression on her face at all, leaving him speechless and thinking that she was genuinely ice-cold.It was rare for someone to retain such composure in the face of potential danger, and Harvey's admiration for her only grew.The door to the chief's office was half-closed, and Irene quietly opened it. "Chief…""Irene Spencer!" Chad lunged toward her in a frenzy, but Harvey stood in his way. "Talk if you want, but don't resort to violence—any man who lays a finger on a woman is no man at all.""Who are you?!" Chad snarled at him, his eyes red. "Mind your business! She's the reason I lost my child! Why shouldn't I kill her right now?!" "That has nothing to do with me," Irene said, leveling Chad a cool look. "You ca

Surprised, Irene asked, "What are you doing here?""I was looking for you," Ricky replied. "But I couldn't reach you on your phone."Irene whipped out her phone, and pressed a button to find that it was out of juice and had turned itself off.Nonetheless, she said, "That would have to wait. I'm busy at the moment."However, Ricky was clearly antsy and did not even notice the confrontation right in front of him. "It's Lulu. She's—"Meanwhile, Harvey and Chad were already at each other's noses and a fight looked inevitable.Irene had to ignore Ricky just then and went up to stop Harvey, saying, "He's not worth it, and we're in a hospital."Chad, however, became buoyed since he thought that was a sign of Irene cowing. "I'm telling you, Irene Spencer, I'll have you kicked out of this hospital today," he gloated, pointing a finger at her face. "You can call me Dahc if I can't do it.""What are you talking about?" Ricky rushed up right then pointed a finger at Chad's face in retali

Irene coolly said, "Stop it—""Actually, he's right. I am in love with you, but Isaac beat me to the promised land," Harvey said with much ambiguity. Irene shot him a glare, "Har har, very funny. I'm being threatened with a lawsuit here, and might lose my job here. I can't have that, not when I upset Isaac over—"She stopped right then, realizing that she had spoken too much.Even so, Ricky quickly asked, "What? How did you upset Isaac?"Harvey's ears had pricked up as well, since he was eager to find out too. Irene grumbled, "Stop being a busybody and start thinking what to do about Whitney Cox. Oh, wait—what did you want to talk to me about?""Lulu is leaving," Ricky said. "I was thinking that you should talk her out of it."Irene, however, knew about Lulu's situation and would not do so lightly. "I need to know what's happening first." "Okay," Ricky replied. "I still hope you'd convince her to stay, though."Irene was left staring at him for a while at that, wondering w

There was no one in the bedroom.Irene blinked. Could he be in the study?Quickly closing the door, she hurried to study and opened the door… Only to find Stan, standing in front of the desk and sorting some documents.Frowning, she asked, "What are you doing here, Stan? Where's Isaac?"Mrs. Watson said, "I was going to tell you just then—Mr. Hill came, not Mr. Jefferson."Irene's face fell just then, while Stan appeared to be done and carried a stack of documents out of the study. Before he left, he offered Irene some kind advice as she stood by the door, "You should contact Mr. Jefferson if you're not busy, ma'am."Ever since Irene refused to leave the country with Isaac the other day, Isaac had been scowling, feeling constantly irritable and checking his phone constantly. He was certainly unable to put aside his pride to call Irene, and was hoping for her to do it first… But she never did.Irene was actually left speechless, because she had not exactly been idling.But i
The Runaway Groom Chapter 361
Irene had seen the person in the photo before—she was sorting a patient's file for Stephen, and he had told her that the patient had special privilege. However, the patient's photo left an impression on her because she resembled Isaac's mother.But why did Isaac have a photo of this woman too? Was she the reason he went abroad? She spaced out as she pondered when the door suddenly opened.She looked up and found Mrs. Watson standing there, asking, "Ma'am? Sorry, I thought you were asleep, and I saw a light in here…"Irene tucked the photo inside the envelope and returned it on top of the desk. "I was asleep, and was thinking about reading a book.""I see…" Mrs. Watson replied, but she was clearly skeptical.Irene smiled. "It's true."Mrs. Watsons smiled in return. "And here I thought you can't sleep because Mr. Jefferson is away."Irene was speechless—did Mrs. Watson read her mind?Simply plucking a book without really looking, she started to leave. "You should turn in, Mrs
