The Runaway Groom Chapter 398
"We've consulted specialists, but it's true. The doctor operating on Yvaine Lynd inadvertently snipped a vital nerve. Brain surgery always has its risks, and accidents tend to happen if it's not the best of specialists. I've also made queries, and there were six doctors and interns operating on her, including Stephen Carr and Irene. They are all saying that…"James's voice trailed off without mentioning any names, but everyone understood."Maybe she was trying to save your mother," Stan explained. "But craniotomy isn't her specialty, and there was a mishap…"Meanwhile, Isaac was standing before the curtain wall, keeping his back to the both of them in silence. Naturally, neither of them dared to speak further after that, and simply stood there in silence.After a long while, Isaac said quietly, "Both of you can go."James and Stan traded glances, and almost spoke at the same time, "Accidents can happen during surgery…""I said, you can go. Understand?" Isaac said, cutting them

James became a little upset then. In his opinion, Irene had simply made a mistake and did not mean to do harm—she just had to talk things through with Isaac to mend their relationship.But given the way she was behaving, their relationship could fall apart at any moment. After all, Isaac's mother was the one who died."Do whatever you want," James said and jogged off to catch up to Isaac.Irene then turned toward Mick. "You should return to Minerva."Mick looked up at her. "Yvaine said that too?"In reality, Yvaine never said it—she just believed that it would be better if he was gone. "Don't you have a daughter? You should return to her side."Mick blinked. Irene knew about their daughter too?Did Yvaine tell her?That has to be it."If that's what she wants," Mick said.For Irene, she just wished that things would be over soon—it was really grilling to her heart, and she was basically suffocating whenever she looked into Isaac's eyes.It was devoid of warmth, but he pret

Harvey was left a little stunned when Irene shook him off so violently, not to mention that she was frighteningly cold.He could not help asking gingerly, "A-Are you alright?"Irene glanced at the time. "You have two minutes."Harvey was left at a loss for words for a while, but quickly said, "I don't know what Isaac did, but construction on a tower I invested in was halted, citing non-compliance. I had to return to Sunny City because of that, and they told me that it's because of Isaac. How could he be so petty?"Irene understood right then. "You deserved it."Harvey huffed, "Do you even have a conscience?!""Your mother can be discharged now. I can help you with the arrangements any time," Irene said flatly.Harvey was left at a loss for words again. She was killing him!"I guess both of you are reptiles—you're made for each other. Even if I wasn't doing everything you tell me, I've at least worked hard to get in your good graces because you saved my mother—how could you hurt
The Runaway Groom Chapter 401
Isaac looked up at James, staring at him for a couple seconds and growled, "He survived," James replied. "Yes, but the driver didn't.""Clean up the mess. Compensate the driver's family generously.""Yes, sir," James said. In fact, he felt guilty because the staged traffic accident was meant to kill Mick, only to end up hurting an innocent. "Also, you should take the trip to Franconia to check on the company for a while, sir," James added."Yeah," Isaac flatly replied.His face was impassive, and the air around him seemed cold enough to freeze.He raised a hand, gesturing to James that he could leave.He had been sulking for days, and James actually became careful with his words around him.As he closed the door to the study and saw Irene in the living room, he asked, "Could you show more concern to Mr. Jefferson?"The atmosphere everyone had to work in was suffocating—even Stan was refusing to show up at Isaac's home. He used to hate going to the office, but he was now b

There was a clear twitch in Isaac's calm gaze right then, as if he was hopeful about what Irene was going to say.However, before Irene could tell him that Yvaine's death had nothing to do with her, she remembered the letter Yvaine left her.Caught in a dilemma just then, her lips trembled as she murmured, "I-I'm sorry. It was an accident… believe me."She hung her head with those quick words, and left the study as if fleeing. Quickly hiding herself in the washroom, she pressed a hand firmly over chest to restrain herself. However, her nostrils were already moist and her tears were flowing without control.She clasped a hand over her mouth to stop herself from crying out—so that no one would notice her misery.Still, it took her a long while to compose herself,At dinner, she sat away from Isaac, keeping her head down and not tasting her food at all.Isaac never spoke, but he put a glass of milk Mrs. Watson prepared in front of her, and left the dining room.Irene stared at t

Stephen was left stunned. "You didn't know?"Irene laughed dryly. "Do you really think that he would still talk to me about his affairs?""No," Stephen quickly said, and sighed. "Mick had an accident on his way to the airport. It was horrific—the taxi driver died on the spot, while Mick was critically injured. Luckily, help reached him in time and he survived. Still, don't you think that it's too much of a coincidence? Don't you think Isaac Jefferson is behind that?"Irene pursed her lips in silence—she would not be surprised if Isaac was, given his character. She at least knew that much about him."You shouldn't jump to conclusions without evidence," she said coolly nonetheless. "Mick's lucky that he survived."Stephen thought about it and agreed. Mick had been a dead man walking ever since Yvaine's death, and somehow managed to survive despite the horrific accident—it seemed that it just was not his time to go."Well, I've done all I can for him," Stephen murmured. In fact,

"...Don't ever come back," Harvey finished.Irene was actually left stumped for a moment, and chuckled in amusement when she realized what he was talking about. "Do you think everyone is as childish as you are?""Me? Childish? How so?" Harvey protested, standing at her side and giving her a nudge with his elbow.Irene simply sidestepped and pulled away, while telling Rosa, "You're recovering well, so there's nothing to worry about—don't burden yourself over it."After all, people tend to get paranoid after heart surgeries, convinced that their hearts are now fragile and that they could die at any moment. However, the truth is that the human heart is the strongest and most resilient of human organs—it never stops beating the instant formed in the fetus.Harvey pursed his lips just then. "Why are you running? I'm not going to hurt you."Irene pretended not to hear him since she did not want to argue. "You may be discharged now."With that, she turned and left Rosa's ward, while

Irene turned around to find Whitney Cox and Chad Ross, with two bodyguards escorting them.However, Harvey was already in a foul mood, and Whitney's mocking only irked him further. "Mind your own business," he snapped in retort.Whitney's face fell right then. "Watch your mouth!""I could say the same to you," Harvey fired back—he was just feeling very frustrated and had no place to vent, and naturally aimed his crosshairs on Whitney since she was clearly trying to mess with them."What…" Whitney stammered. She had been feeling frustrated after falling for Irene's trap, especially since Chad became utterly disenchanted with her after learning that she had deliberately caused her own miscarriage.Now, he offered her no leeway or freedom, and kept two bodyguards with her wherever she went, essentially keeping her under house arrest as well.He also told her that she would regain her freedom after she got pregnant and delivered the child, and would not allow her to do anything b
