The Runaway Groom Chapter 529
The research concerned the entire medical development scene of Minerva and their position as a global power.After the mess Irene caused, there was no doubt they would bring down the hammer on her—especially when her allegiances clearly lay elsewhere."We're looking at prison time if things get to worse," Mick Gooding was saying. Stephen Carr had spoken to him over the phone, and he wanted to help after learning that Irene was in deep trouble. He had even gone as far as to seek out Isaac while asking his friends to discern the damage. "Pregnancy is inconsequential to the laws here, and since Irene is a foreigner, she might get slammed with espionage and treason," Mick finished, feeling the weight of a very hairy situation already.As Isaac listened to him dissect the situation over the phone, his expression remained impassive.However, there was no way he could just do nothing and wait—no matter how grim things looked."I have a business relationship with the Raideens. I'm goi

"James got into a traffic accident on the way to the airport," Debbie said worriedly. "The doctors are operating on him right now, but he's not out of danger yet."Isaac's face fell right then. James was in trouble? And it had to be now?He could not return at the moment either."Got it. Which hospital is he in?""Aiken. It's a small hospital nearby, but he needed help urgently.""I see."Isaac hung up and quickly called Zachary.Zachary might have quit his job as a doctor, but he had built a network in his time as one. Isaac would also have peace of mind with him keeping an eye on things.…Zachary was shopping with Ember at a store for luxury goods—since he was supposed to appeal to her emotionally in order to find out what happened to Lulu, it meant spending time and effort to earn her favor.Ember was naturally basking in the sweet world he fabricated for her, thinking that all her hard work had paid off as she had finally won Zachary's love. "That looks really nice,"

Zachary quickly drove to Aiken Hospital with Ember and arrived to find Debbie waiting alone outside the operating room.However, Zachary had noticed that conditions there were exceedingly crude, and his brow was deeply creased even as he strode inside.Even Ember was asking, "Why would they send Mr. Cross here?""What are you doing here?" Debbie was actually surprised to see Zachary there.Zachary said, "Isaac called me.""I see." Debbie lowered her eyes.Ember's eyes were locked on her. "You seemed surprised." Debbie looked up then, but her usual businesslike expression had already returned—she appeared solemn, even a little lofty as if she stood above others. "I'm sure you have a misunderstanding here, missy."As Isaac's secretary, she certainly had the disposition to belittle others. After all, there are so many people who wanted just minutes of his time, but they all had to go through her first.Be that as it may, Ember grew up like a pampered princess and she was not a

[You don't have to know who I am. Just know that Ember Lindt suspects you, and you really shouldn't let her stay at large or there's going to be problems.]It was as if the sender had seen everything that happened with their own eyes… Perhaps they were right there!Debbie quickly looked around and quickly spotted a person dressed in a black trench coat and a baseball cap on the second floor walkway. Seemingly sensing her gaze, the person quickly turned to leave.Debbie gave chase, but they were already gone when she reached the second floor. However, she was not giving up just yet—she quickly looked around to find the person when her phone jingled again.[Don't try to look for me, or I'll tell Isaac Jefferson that you tried to kill James Cross.]Debbie panicked—who were they? How did they know about Isaac?She quickly sent a reply.[What do you want?][To help you.]Debbie scowled. [Do you take me for a fool? You were threatening me a moment ago.][You can ignore what I sa

Debbie held her head high without appearing guilty at all. "James and I go way back. We know each other so well, and everything I'm doing right now is for his sake.""If you're not lying," Ember said with a sneer.Debbie promptly wheeled on her and snapped, "What's your wife's problem, Zachary Slate? She doesn't even know me! Why would I try to hurt James? Even if we can't agree on this, what we want is ultimately the same—for James to be fine. Your wife, on the other end, keeps insinuating that I'd hurt James! So I'm asking you, why would I do that? What good would it do me?!"Since Debbie had worked under Isaac for a long time, she was close with Stan and James. On the surface, she had no reason to hurt James. As such, Zachary said, "Forgive her. She doesn't know that you're his friend."Meanwhile, the medical staff had wheeled James out of the operating room, and Zachary said, "Let's go."Debbie glanced at James on the stretcher and remained impassive despite her panic. "Yeah

Dr. Wagner and Zachary were close, and so the former easily agreed to the surgery on short notice.But things appeared ominous at the moment."Well, he's safe and breathing…"Debbie panicked right then and dropped her phone, its screen shattering with a loud crack!Ember glanced at her, but while she felt that Debbie was obviously acting suspicious, Zachary thought that Debbie was just thrilled. "Don't worry. James is safe now."Debbie kept her head down to hide her reaction. "I'm just so happy…"Dr. Wagner suddenly said, "May I finish?" "What's wrong? Didn't you say he's saved?" Zachary asked."He's breathing, but…" Dr. Wagner was looking Zachary in the eye, but soon sighed. "I've done my best."Zachary sensed something ominous. "What is it?""He's in a vegetative state…""What?" Zachary exclaimed in fear and disbelief. It was a terrible outcome—the only difference between a person in a vegetative state and a dead person was their breathing!"We did what we could," Dr.

Though Ember was as rotten as she was a schemer, she was genuinely in love with Zachary.Meanwhile, Debbie was watching them nearby, finding Ember an eyesore no matter how she looked.Still, she turned away and whipped out a phone to make a call.It was soon answered."Mr. Jefferson? James is…"…Isaac had just met the Raideens.In any situation, they would first consider profit and then the big picture, but neither gave them reasons to help Irene. In fact, she was the reason their profits were hurt—since they were Minervans, and they controlled the interest of Mead Clinic.Naturally, they told Isaac that they were already doing him a favor by not adding fuel to fire.Isaac, however, knew that they were just refusing because he did not sweeten the pot enough. He whipped out his phone, about to make a call, when Debbie's call came.He answered it, but Debbie was stuttering a lot."Just tell me already!" he snapped."James… is in a vegetative state. He's at the Central Ho

Ember had a look of utter contempt. "You keep insisting that you are close with Mr. Cross, but you're in such a hurry to leave him already? You hardly look like you're mourning, too—are you really a friend to Mr. Cross as you kept claiming?"Debbie narrowed her eyes at Ember for seconds, but ultimately kept quiet and strode off, bearing with her snide remarks.After all, she knew that arguing or explaining would never work with Ember—the best option was to silence her permanently! On the other hand, Ember appeared disgruntled, but Zachary put a hand on her arm before she could, and even spoke on Debbie's behalf. "Ember, everyone including Debbie is hurting after what happened to James. She can come off as cold, but that comes with working with Isaac—it's not as if she doesn't care, but she's just that good at hiding her feelings."Ember appeared a little jealous that Zachary knew Debbie so well. "You seem to know everything about her… But I still think that she's up to no good."
