The Runaway Groom Chapter 541
The man who answered the door was taller than Isaac. His skin was fair but rough, his hair was combed backward, and his eyes were a shocking blue, sharp and pronounced like his other facial features.Naturally, he was not the type people fall in love with at first sight, but one would never get bored ogling him.Standing aside, he said, "I've been waiting."Isaac entered. His clothes were thoroughly wrinkled after flying in and out of the country, his collar slightly open and stubbles visible on his chin.But it still did not affect his good looks—it added a sense of rugged maturity to him, in fact.He flexed his neck, which had gotten stiff from sitting, as he settled down on the couch. Sammy sat opposite him and asked, "Where is it?"Isaac threw the papers on the table.…Sammy was a Raideen. The head of the family was almost eighty now, and was barely surviving after suffering a heart condition. Naturally, the question of who his inheritance would go to was asked w
The Runaway Groom Chapter 542
Irene's throat was so dry she could not speak, and she did not dare to lower her hand stopping the blinding light burning her eyes.That was when she smelled food. Though she lowered her hand to look for it, she still had to keep her eyes closed because of the glaring light.Even if they were trying to force her to talk, they did not dare to go too far because it would escalate matters, and their opposition were already questioning their actions in this matter.With pressure bearing down on them from every corner, they could only resort to mental duress."Want a drink? Or food?" They lay out everything in front of Irene. "Admit that you're a spy, and you can have it all."Irene's eyes narrowed. Her lips were cracked and bleeding, but she firmly shook her head. Her fortitude was certainly shocking."Quit being so stubborn!" "No, I don't think she would last. Let's see how much longer she can hold out for!"The other man doubted that Irene would stay apathetic with the temptat

Dirk Hertz, Sammy's maternal grandfather, led the people rushing into the room.Their rivaling parties had always been at odds as they competed for profit, and this was no different. Even so, Dirk had the advantage in authority, even as the two factions now stood off against each other in a silent confrontation. "We have everything we need to build a case against Zidonia. Why are you releasing her?'"What, with false charges against a heavily pregnant woman? Zidonians are already accusing us of illegal detainment, and it's already causing quite a stir. Are you really going to push this to a point of no return?""They are all talking. Once we get proof from her, no one would believe a word they say—""She'd be dead before you do."In fact, even as Irene started to lose consciousness, she was bleeding profusely from beneath her waist, dyeing her skirt red.Knowing that they would be breaking a promise if they lose her now—and possibly the chance to solidify Sammy Raideen's clai

Isaac felt like he must do something just then to quell his suffocating unease.At the same time, Sammy tried to assure him, "She's probably going to be fine." Isaac raised a hand to ask for his silence.Right now, he needed peace and quiet, not pompous assurances.Eventually, he looked up at Sammy and said, "She's my wife."Sammy pursed his lips. "I'm sorry. We should have gotten her out earlier—""Is the patient's family here?"A nurse had stepped out of the room."I am," Isaac said, striding forward.He then hesitated, fearing the worst. "Is she—""She's lost too much blood—it's either the baby or the patient…""The patient."Isaac made up his mind even before the nurse finished—his choice was undoubtedly Irene between the two."Then I'm going to need you to sign this," the nurse said, handing him a consent form.Isaac put pen to paper.His signature would be a blade he wielded with his own hand, denying his own child life. But there was no other choice—he had to

Isaac leaned in and gathered Irene tightly in his arms. "Let's go home when you're better, Irene. Tommy is waiting."Irene was taken aback even as an ominous feeling seized her. "Why are you being evasive?" she rasped."I…" Isaac simply could not bring himself to tell her that their child was lost, and he was perfectly aware that she would feel even more miserable than he did. After all, it grew inside her body… "L-Look, I know things looked bad, but I'm already eight months in. The child could have survived even if it came prematurely!"Her voice was choking with tears even as she tried to keep it together. "You can't tell me that we lost our child… I won't believe you!""I don't believe it either…" Isaac whispered even as he brushed his cheek against hers.There was wetness over their skin, but there was no telling whose tears it was.Nonetheless, Isaac had said enough—their child was gone, and Irene's body trembled with agitation while her face turned pale."You said

Isaac hung his head. His hand, bleeding from his joints, dangled limply at his side.He suddenly looked up.Their child.Their child was the reason Irene was bleeding now.She was a doctor, and she claimed that their child was fine. Could there be a mistake?He had been too preoccupied with Irene's safety to notice, but at eight months, their child would be fully developed.But the doctors never showed him a thing.And he would see it—dead or alive!He whipped out his phone and called Sammy. "I need a favor…"…Back at Zidonia, Ember found herself naked on a large bed within a hotel room, with her body covered with hickies.She rubbed her temples firmly to figure out what was wrong.She then remembered receiving a text from Zachary, asking her out on a date at a bar. It was rare for him to ask her out, so she dressed up especially for the occasion.However, Zachary was not around when she arrived, though a man came up to her, asking, "Are you waiting for Zachary?""Yes…

Ember was certainly quick-witted.But although she managed to guess that someone had set her up in such a short time, she could not think of anyone who would do this to her."Just put on your clothes and leave!" Zachary snapped right then and turned to leave.Ember quickly caught him. "Listen to me, Zachary. I was set up—""Do I look like I give a damn?" Zachary's eyes were cold even as he watched her—he simply could not get a read on her.There were times when she was nice enough, but she was otherwise horrific!"Are you going to divorce me?" Ember asked—no man could stand being a cuck after all.Zachary held her faze for a moment and said, "Tell me where Lulu is and I won't."A realization dawned on Ember right then and she released Zachary, stumbling backward."You were being nice to me… because of her?""Yes." Zachary did not deny it, and Ember was left shaking with rage.So it was all feigned sincerity—she was just dumb enough to believe that he would fall for her!H

That was certainly the case, but Debbie still had other concerns. [James Cross may be a vegetable now, but there's still a chance that he will recover.][The answer is still no. If you so much as lay a finger on him, Isaac Jefferson will know everything.]Debbie was certainly unhappy with that arrangement, but she could not find out anything about the mysterious person, and their ID was untrackable.As such, she was subject to their whims.[Understood.]…Although Minerva was not Isaac's domain, he managed to gather all security footage from Flanley Hospital through Sammy's influence, along with information of all the doctors and medical staff involved in Irene's surgery.However, there was nothing suspicious on video, and the records detailed that the child was taken out by C-section but was not breathing even after resuscitation.After that, the body was placed at the morgue, and the hospital administration said that they were allowed access any time.Everything seemed cut
