The Runaway Groom Chapter 492
Robin knew that she would never rescue Ian so easily, and therefore sought Henry Jefferson's help before he arrived.After all, Henry was Isaac Jefferson's grandfather, and always would be.No matter how cold or hostile Isaac was toward his own family now, Robin was convinced that he would show no such sentiment toward his own grandfather. She was sure that if Henry showed up, they would be able to take Ian back.And yet…Isaac's expression was calm as a placid lake when he saw Henry, and he was unmoved at all.On the other hand, Henry was leaning against his cane.His health had deteriorated considerably and there was no hiding it, despite the meticulous care of his team of doctors. Right now, he was just a candle in the wind."Isaac."Even so, he was deferring to Isaac now, and he did not speak like an elder at all.He was just another family member, begging for forgiveness.He certainly regretted making the mistake of changing sides, instead of appealing to Isaac with

Moneypenny's voice was very soft as he whispered to Henry, and he was sliding peeks at Robin as she remained on the ground. "Sir, you're just upset because Master Ian is one of your grandsons, but he did murder Irene Spencer." In other words, he was saying that Isaac would never forgive Ian, and now, they had no leverage or ability to fight Isaac. "But as long as he leaves a seed, he's not gone forever," Moneypenny finished. Henry quickly understood what he meant. Turning to look at Robin and thinking about it briefly, he soon said, "Well, that's an idea."To assure him further, Moneypenny added, "Master Greg's line will not be snuffed so soon, anyway. Even if something were to happen to Master Ian, his father still lives—he's lost the function of his legs, but that doesn't mean he's lost all functions below the waist."Henry's wrinkled eyelids twitched. "Sly old fox.""Well, is there a reason it wouldn't work?" Moneypenny asked as he helped him stand.Henry considered it
The Runaway Groom Chapter 494
Dr. Wells, the chief of the hospital, was telling Dr. Pitt, "The orders from above are that our research is not to be revealed to Zidonia. Yes, our new Zidonian shareholder had made us agree to take part in their forum at all, and it was out of our hands, but our country's efforts should be kept here. Would we still have an edge over them if we announce our findings there?"Dr. Pitt was sharp enough to tell that it was not just the hospital wanting to keep things under wraps—there was more at stake than what she could see.Meanwhile, Dr. Wells was still ranting in frustration about how things had been mishandled. "Also, Dr. Tanner may have contributed greatly, and it's almost beyond question that she should be sent as a representative, but did you forget that she's Zidonian? Where do you think her loyalties lie? I'm sure you know, so why choose her? You should have hidden it from her in the first place! You're basically asking for it!""I just thought that she is the right person,"

Isaac's tone was sharp and ironic. "You? What else do you have left?"Stephen was left stumped right then.Certainly, all the honors and accomplishments he accrued over his career were gone, and he was slapped with the disgrace of causing a death by negligence before his retirement. But Isaac was the reason for all that!As such, Stephen stubbornly snarled, "Fine. Do whatever you want to me and my family. I can't tell you a thing anyway, because I know nothing.""You don't give up, do you?"Isaac beckoned for someone to bring a chair which he sat on and crossed his legs casually, appearing lofty and indomitable. "James, bring his family here."Stephen panicked right then—he was fine with whatever they would throw his way, but he did not want his family involved. "I would have told you if I knew, but I don't. What am I supposed to tell you?!""The doctors who helped you with Irene's surgery have already confessed that she's alive, and you switched a burned body with hers," Isaa

Stephen was laughing, having gained the upper hand. "Oh, calm down—you may have the looks, but your temper is so foul that even the ladies run away from you. Why don't you try to change that instead?"Isaac sprang from his chair, appearing so furious that he could kick Stephen right then, and James had to quickly stop him."He's just playing you, sir. Calm down.""If you say so—but you will have your answer when you see her," Stephen said confidently.James shot him an icy look. "Quit yapping and give us an address, or else!"More or less content just then, Stephen finally said, "She will be returning to the country for a forum."Both Isaac and James thought of the same thing at the same time. Mead Clinic's annual forums were usually held within Minerva or neighboring countries, and they only moved it to Zidonia this year. "Is she working at Mead Clinic?" James asked.Isaac had the same question in mind.Stephen nodded. "Yes." James was shocked—they had been in Minerva, a

Isaac saw the woman walking around the circular fountain in front of the hotel.She was wearing a khaki trench coat with a white floral dress, and her black mini boots were short enough to bare her fair legs. Despite being heavily pregnant, she was not swelling up. Her black hair was spread over her shoulders, and despite the face mask hiding her face, it did not hide her tenderness.As James stopped the car, Isaac alighted and started toward her.Irene had been keeping her head lowered and did not notice the person coming toward her, so she suddenly found her way blocked by another person.She tried to move to the right, but the person before mimicked her to keep blocking her path, doing the same when she moved to the left. Frowning in slight annoyance, she growled, "Could you—"She trailed off when she looked up and saw the person before her, and she quickly lowered her head again guiltily. "Please, excuse me," she said, but there was a quiver in her voice. Even so, that s

"Isaac Jefferson, you have every right to not love me… But you have no right to question my virtue."With that, Irene reached for the doorknob, opening it with a click.However, Isaac caught her hand. "I'm sorry."Stephen's words had struck him where it hurt, and he let his own anger get the battle of him. Moreover, she really was pregnant, which was why he had such a poor choice of words."Irene, if I didn't love you, I'd never be with you even if we had ten children. All I wanted to do was protect you, that's why I said I was only staying with you because of Tommy—the more I showed concern for you in front of Ian, the more he would want to hurt you."Irene looked up, forgetting her scars in shock. He had said that because he did not want Ian to hurt her. So, was it all just a misunderstanding?Isaac's eyes landed on her scars then and his expression darkened further. His throat felt stiff and he could not speak.Irene came to her senses when she realized what he was lo
