The Runaway Groom Chapter 439
It was Lulu Adams—she rarely called Ricky, and she had not done so since her last return to Sunny City.Naturally, her calling him now took him completely by surprise. While he would have made time to chat with her for as long as he could on any other day, now was not the time for that."Lulu, whatever it is, it would have to wait. I'm very busy right now.""What are you busy with?""Beating up someone. I'm hanging up now—I'll call you later." He hung up just as he said, leaving Lulu dumbstruck over on the other end.Ricky was young and maybe brash, but he was not going to break the law, was he?Lulu quickly called him again, but Ricky was bent on violence. He actually found the call irritating, and turned his phone off without answering it.Lulu kept trying on the other end, and when she was greeted by an automated voice, she was actually left panicking a little……James's men led Ricky into a dark room. There were no windows, only walls and one steel door that opened f

Ricky tried to free himself from Stan, but the other man kept a vice-like grip on his hand to stop him from running. Even so, Ricky protested. "No. I'd never agree to that—there's no way I can do it anyway. Just let me go!"Stan told him as politely as he could, "You're the best man for the job.""What do you mean I'm the best man for the job? Do you think Sheryl wouldn't be devastated if I were the one who told her?! I won't be the villain here! I refuse!"To Ricky, Stan might as well have been telling him the worst joke ever.Even if his mother had been at odds with Sheryl and Irene, there was no doubt that his mother had done more than her fair share of mistakes.And after he spent a lot of time with Sheryl and Irene, he could feel that they were generally kind, and long since considered them family. Sheryl had since become a mother figure as well… but if he told her that Irene was dead, she would die weeping!"Can't we hide it?" Ricky certainly believed that silence was the

Zachary was stunned. "You lost your job?"Lulu had already turned to leave, not remotely bothered to answer him.Zachary was not going to let up so soon, however, and caught her by the wrist."Let go!" Lulu exclaimed, appearing utterly disgusted by his touch.It certainly cut Zachary to the quick—she hated him so much already?"Do you really think that our past was that stupid?" Her words were basically a refusal to acknowledge their past relationship, and it was unacceptable to him.Even if they had broken up, they used to be truly in love. How could she dismiss it like that?"What else would it be?" someone suddenly asked.It was Ricky, who had returned with Lulu's drink, shooting Zachary a glare as he gave it to her. "You are the one who cheated Lulu, and then doubted her even though she clearly wasn't the one behind the banners, and you made her lose her job too. How despicable can you be? But it's fine—I'll take good care of her, and you don't have to worry. So stay aw

Zachary demanded, "You're the one who got Lulu fired, aren't you?"Ember could clearly hear his voice from upstairs!Mrs. Slate scoffed. "You call that a job? And yes, I framed her for a mistake and got her fired. She was the one who humiliated us with those banners at your wedding, and her behavior will only escalate if I don't straighten her out."Ember was naturally smug when she heard that—Mrs. Slate now hated Lulu to the bone, did she not?"Do you have any evidence it was her?" Zachary snapped."Evidence? She admitted it herself!" Mrs. Slate shot back, furious that Zachary was still thinking about Lulu. "You're married, Zahcary—you should be caring about Ember. Her family background matches ours, and she is the Lindts' only daughter. It's not just an individual marriage, but a marriage between families! Don't you understand how lucky you are?"Zachary had always known that his mother loved money and influence, and his father's philandering ways left her suffering considerabl

Stephen almost lost his footing the instant he saw Isaac inside the office.What was he doing here?!Pulling the doctor aside, he asked softly, "When did he get here?""Just now," the doctor replied. "He chased everyone out the instant he arrived. I think he's gathering Dr. Spencer's belongings."Carr became flustered—Irene repeatedly emphasized the importance that he gathered her belongings.What was he supposed to do now?"Is there something wrong, Dr. Carr?" The doctor noticed the look on his face. Stephen quickly shook his head. "It's nothing. Also, all of you should go about your business instead of standing around.The doctors dispersed, while Stephen, feeling too guilty to talk to Isaac, turned to leave as well.He would never dare.…A quietness loomed amid the rows of desks in the office, and Isaac was the only one seated there, at Irene's seat.There were stacks of books, research papers, patient medical histories, and various receipts on the table. Only one ph

Isaac stared at the letter for a long while without moving, as if he was frozen stiff.He was simply staggered… To think that Yvaine Lynd had written such a letter to Irene! He certainly never expected his mother to remember everything but not come back to him because she fell in love with Mick Gooding!Haha… the irony! His mother fell in love with another man. Did she even think what that made of his father?His fingers clenched, and the paper crumpled in his grasp.Stephen was mentioned in the letter…Rising to his feet, he stormed toward Stephen's office.Stephen looked up the instant he opened his office door and quickly rose to his feet when he saw that it was Isaac.While he had weathered his fair share of drama with patients and their families over the years, he felt pure, gripping fear around Isaac. Perhaps because he was feeling guilty and hid a lot of things from the man, he did not dare to meet Isaac's gaze. Even as he kept his eyes elsewhere, he asked, "Is ther

Irene agreed to be the scapegoat implicated with Yvaine's death. And it was all because Yvaine had written her letter, asking her to save Mick.She just wanted to carry out Yvaine's will, only for Isaac to misunderstand and give her the silent treatment.How miserable must she have felt? She could not tell him anything because Yvaine told her not to, leaving her to suffer it all alone!"My selfishness led to this. I shouldn't have asked someone innocent to take the fall just to save a friend, and cause a misunderstanding between you and her. I'm sorry—""'Sorry?'" Isaac scoffed. "Did you think that's going to cut it?!"Stephen did not dare to say a word in response—it was true, a mere sorry was not going to cut it."'Violated your ethics as a doctor', was it? Then you shouldn't keep your job, or you'll insult the profession," Isaac growled before turning to leave. He then stopped at the doorway, and added without looking back, "People like you don't deserve anything."With t

When the door opened and Irene saw the person standing outside, she exclaimed in surprise, "You?!""Stephen contacted me and gave me your address," Mick Gooding told her. "He wants someone to take care of you, since you've just arrived and probably not used to this place."Irene did not let him in immediately—naturally, she had her concerns."Don't worry," Mick assured her. "Stephen told me everything—your secret is safe with me."It was only then that Irene let him in.While Mick survived a car crash, he was injured considerably. It was only thanks to the advancement of medical technology that he made a full recovery. Even so, Yvaine's death still hit him badly—he looked much older now, and the tip of his hair was turning white, as if he aged a decade in an instant.After Mick entered, he gave Irene a business card. "Here's my number and address. Contact me if you need help." Irene took it out of politeness. "Thank you.""You don't have to. I mean, didn't you come here beca
