The Runaway Groom Chapter 466
Isaac's headaches had worsened due to prolonged insomnia and overdosing on sleeping pills.James rushed him to the hospital the instant they disembarked. After examination, the doctor told James that Isaac's condition was due to overdosing on sleeping pills, and there might be more side effects if he continued taking it.The doctor then administered a sedative to help him sleep, while James left and called Stan on the walkway. "He's admitted now, and the doctor told him to stop taking sleeping pills and try to sleep naturally instead. But we know his temper…"James was alone in Minerva with Isaac. Having no ideas, he had to call Stan to discuss.While he stood by the window, Irene arrived. She was wearing a lab coat, a cap, and a face mask, and spoke in fluent Minerverse, "I'll be checking on the patient now."James quickly told Stan, "Got to go. I'll call you again later."Walking over and noticing that she was a woman, he asked, "Wasn't he checked already?""I'll be observ

James quickly explained, "This is Dr. Jane Tanner. She's a doctor here."Even so, Isaac was staring at Irene with sharp eyes that could well pierce her face mask to see underneath…She was a doctor. So, why did she flinch?And what was that disguise for?A face mask and a scarf?Nonetheless, Irene feigned composure while thickening her Minerverse accent to further disguise that she was no Zidonian. "I'm Dr. Jane Tanner—you can call me anything you want, but the issue here is your insomnia. It is already affecting your overall health, so you must cooperate with treatment."Isaac, however, pushed off his blanket and started toward her, his presence more menacing the closer he got. Irene's hands clenched her side as she braced herself. "Please, you have to lie down… Oof!"Before she could finish, Isaac had pulled off her face mask.She quickly clasped her hands over her cheeks while panic showed in her eyes, but Isaac was already left stunned.All he could think about was how

The sight of the cocksure woman before them left James furrowing his brow.There was no escaping her!"Stalker," he growled impatiently. "Lapdog," Erin Gooding shot back right away.James was left speechless—he remembered that she had been raised here in Minerva, but she would actually know the Zidonian word for 'lapdog'?She was surprisingly fluent…Nonetheless, Erin seemed to have read James's mind and she said, "I may be raised here, but my mom and dad are Zidonian. Is it that weird that I know the language?"She was watching Isaac's face as she mentioned 'mom', but there was only impatience in his cold visage.Erin's lips twitched. "Hey, I'm your half-sister. Why the long face? Does someone owe you money? I know you don't want me around, and I don't mind not showing up… All you have to do is tell me where our mother is buried—"Isaac strode off before she could finish, and James stopped her when she tried to follow. "You're a lady. You can afford to act a little more rese

Having hatched a plan in her head, Erin was feeling buoyed and refrained from bugging James.Clasping her hands behind her back, she was grinning even as she left.She found a potential means of breakthrough, so it was not as if the day was wasted. On the other hand, James was feeling less than happy. Even as he kept walking, he was looking behind to check that he was not being followed, worried that Erin would latch on to him again.If she did, it would be a catastrophe! …Later in the evening, James got a call from Irene. "It's Dr. Tanner. Is the patient free at the moment? I can help him with the treatment now.""Of course," James replied. "We're at Olston Hotel, Room 909.""Okay," Irene said and put away her phone.She stood in front of her mirror, checking her disguise and ensuring that it was flawless before heading over.At the same time, James headed to Isaac's room to inform him, "Sir, Dr. Tanner will soon arrive for your treatment."Isaac was sitting on the c

The thought that Isaac was going to get buck naked in front of a woman so hideous she almost made him throw up left James's lips twitching.What an image it was!He stepped out of the room right then, patting his chest and counting his blessing that he was not the one suffering from insomnia.With a woman like that, his insomnia would probably get worse… No, he would probably get nightmares instead!How fortunate he was to be blessed with good health!…Meanwhile, Isaac was staring at the woman of marvelous ugliness as she stood at the bathroom door. "Are you going to watch me undress?""Gender is no issue for doctors," Irene replied calmly.Isaac raised a brow.Whether he had given up or something else, he actually began to unbutton his shirt!Soon, his beautiful collarbone came to view, followed by his chiseled chest. Irene was the first to blink and she was complaining inwardly if he was a little insane, being able to stay calm even with a woman as ugly as her…On the o

Irene's body and thoughts froze.H-He was awake?What should she do?How was she going to explain herself?Could she say that he was too good looking, and that she could not help it?What should she do?The instant she felt him hold her, she came up with so many excuses…But Isaac never opened his eyes, even though he was actually pushing his tongue up against hers now and was kissing her so hard that he was almost devouring her.She felt her breath leaving her lungs. Was he really awake…?"I missed you, Irene…" he murmured, almost unintelligibly. But she clearly heard it.She froze.He just said… He missed her?A crystalline drop of tear slid and trickled off the corner of her eye, dripping on his cheek.Isaac did not wake up—he was actually dreaming. Irene slowly got up. So, it was all just sleep-talking. "But I'm happy to hear you say you miss me."She wiped the lipstick from his lips, pulled his blanket over him, and left the hotel room, gently closing the

James's eyes widened, and his face soon contorted and flushed in anger."Erin Gooding! What do you think you're doing?!"Erin was sitting on a chair nearby, leisurely eating some Shine Muscat while glancing at him sideways. "What's all the fuss for? It's just your clothes. You still have your underwear on, but don't expect it to stay that way if you don't cooperate."James was speechless. What was she playing at?!"Let me go right now!" he snapped.Erin, however, was not afraid at all, and allowed him to fume as much as he wanted, even blinking her eyes innocently at him. "You're all tied up. I can leave you here to starve you to death, but you're still ordering me around? Are you really sober?"James could not say anything against that. He did not want to admit it, but it was harsh reality. As such, he restrained himself and flashed a fawning smile, "Erin, darling? Seeing that I'm a good friend of your brother, could you show your magnanimity and let me go?""Sure." Erin

James had barely finished when one of the three burly men pushed him back inside the room.Erin was huffing and she promptly snapped when she saw that. "Fuck him up!"The three of them charged forward, and one of them landed a heavy jab on his left eye, flooring him.Luckily, James had seen action, and quickly grabbed a chair, swinging it at the man nearest to him, knocking him out!While another man tried to grab him from behind, he leaped aside and kicked him squarely on the back before making a dash outside and making his escape!…Harvey went looking for Irene right after he landed in Minerva. However, he had been knocking on her door for quite a while, but nobody answered.Still, he was going to call her when he noticed some sort of lifeform walking toward him. He flinched in shock—how could someone so ugly exist? When Irene saw him, she asked, "What are you doing here? It's so late already."Harvey appeared incredulous. "W-Wait, you're Irene?""Yeah," she replied cas
