The Runaway Groom Chapter 472
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

James furrowed his brow. "What are you laughing at? Did you lose your mind?"Harvey was staring at his left eye, however. "Are you trying to turn into a panda, with one black eye?"James raised his hand to hide his bruised eye while glaring at Harvey with the other. "Seeing that you helped me before, I won't hold this against you. But you should know that I have a temper, and don't complain that I never warned you when you mock me again.""I helped you?" Harvey was a little confused.When did he help James, and with what? How did it manage to slip his mind?"Are you sure about that…?""Don't bother. I won't remember it even if it was a huge favor—you laughed at me, so we're even. Now buzz off."With that, James headed toward Isaac's room, leaving Harvey speechless.He doubted that he would help James out of the kindness of his heart.Still, he glanced at the time. "Oh, it's almost seven."He still had to head to Irene's apartment—he did not have any time to waste here.He al

Irene asked, "Who is it?""One of your patients," the hospital chief said, before adding seriously, "He's now a shareholder of our hospital, so try not to get on the wrong side of him. It might complicate your career."She had a patient who was also a shareholder of Mead Clinic?Who?She quickly realized that it might be Isaac. He acquired Mead Clinic shares? Already?Still, it was only Isaac who had such ability among all his patients, especially when it came to tussling with the likes of the Raideens. "He's in the same ward as last time. Go on."Irene became even surer then. "Okay." Once she stepped out, she headed straight for the washroom to quickly put on makeup. She had presumed that she would see him in the evening again, so she forgot to put on her exaggerated makeup in the morning. Fortunately, she had everything prepared in her bag.Ten minutes later, she headed to the ward.To no surprise, Isaac was standing near the window and turned around when he heard the

James was on top of a woman.Irene could not see who it was—only her fair, thin legs.She blinked. James got himself a girlfriend and even brought her to Minerva?Just then, the woman cried out furiously, "Let go of me, James Cross, or I'll scream for help!"Irene was left speechless—that did not seem to be your typical make out session.She quickly turned away, even closing the door for them.Whatever the relationship they had, she should not be looking anyway.Then, she looked up and saw Isaac standing in the walkway, staring at herself. Irene wondered if he caught her spying on James, even though she did not mean to—she was just curious at the time."I saw nothing," she said.Isaac said nothing to that and simply headed to his own room, leaving Irene speechless and unsure what Isaac was thinking. Did he believe her or not? She nervously followed him, and tried to act calm before asking, "Did you sleep well last night, Mr. Jefferson?"Isaac had entered his own room by

Irene froze. Isaac had a towel around his waist, but his entire body was still wet, and… there was a scarlet rash over every inch of his skin.Surprised, she asked, "What happened?""That's my question. What did you put in my bath?" Isaac was frowning—the rash itched so badly! Irene quickly spoke into her phone. "Something just came up. I'll talk to you later."With that, she hung up and hurried into the bathroom and checked the bath, and somehow fished out a substance that could cause oversensitive skin. But she never put it in… How did it get in there?"Don't scratch," Irene told Isaac when she stepped out. "Just wait here. I'll get you an ointment—"However, Isaac grabbed her by the neck before she could leave, a menacing air spilling out of him as he growled, "You did this, didn't you?"Irene was suffocating and instinctively shielded her belly. "I have no reason to hurt you, Mr. Jefferson," she gasped. "It does me no good—there's a misunderstanding here, believe me."

The mole had been pasted on the tip of Irene's nose and it started flapping about as she breathed, dangling and stopping short of detaching.Isaac was staring at her, and she was close enough for him to smell the thick scent of makeup.Frowning so much his brows almost met, he told her, "Your mole is falling off."Irene quickly clasped a hand over her nose—she blinked her fake eyelashes even as Isaac kept staring at her. "Don't tell me it's a fake mole to look pretty?" he asked.Irene racked her brains, and said, "O-Of course not. I've been applying some ointment to remove it."Plucking the fake mole off and holding it out to show Isaac, she said, "See? It totally dried up and fell off—"Isaac growled, "Keep that away from me."Disgusting!Irene smiled, took out a tissue, and rolled the mole into it before throwing it into a basket, then continued to apply the ointment on Isaac to curb his itch.When she was done, she told him, "You have to wait until it dries before you sle

Daisy said smugly, "She's a Zidonian, but she's stealing everyone's thunder. Our chief even recommended her for the next promotion, and she'd definitely be the next attending physician if we didn't do a thing about it. Well, now that I've slipped that drug into the bath salt she prepared for that Zidonian patient, rumor is already spreading that she'll be fired soon. The patient must consider her incompetent now.""That's enough, dear. We should be celebrating—why don't we jump into the bath together?" Bob suggested."Oh, you dirty boy," Daisy purred. …On the way back, Irene did not say a word in the car."We just have to show Admin the video we recorded of them, and it's over for them both," Jeff said. "So why the long face?"Irene said, "I hate intrigue. I really didn't expect them to do something like that.""There's a promotion at stake, after all. Moreover, an attending physician in Mead Clinic is a department chief in any other hospital. Of course things would get compet
