The Runaway Groom Chapter 709
"It was his own fault."'Lulu did not feel her conscience gnawing at all, because she never lifted a finger. Naturally, Mrs. Slate was not about to believe her. "Really? Do you think you'd believe it if you were told that?""I would," Lulu replied.Mrs. Slate scowled. "You…""Please, I need a signature," the nurse interjected just then. Worried about Zachary's safety, Mrs. Slate quickly signed the consent form and said, "You have to save my son.""Don't worry, the doctors will do their best, and it's not that serious anyway."With that, the nurse returned inside with the surgery consent form, leaving behind a scowling Mrs. Slate. She did not speak to Lulu, but the gears in her mind were working furiously.It was clear that she could not make things work for Lulu—even if she had a change of heart and accepted Lulu now, Lulu's behavior only left her repulsed. Lulu kept demanding that she die for what she did, and had been hurting her and Zachary repeatedly.She probably w

James did not try to hide it. "Harvey got away."Harvey and his assistant Enrique had been seriously hurt, so James kept them in the same room without much security. Isaac realized right then that Harvey must have kept everything he had in Sunny City as a diversion.And once Isaac was gone, Harvey would inevitably make his escape—no matter what James did.Could this be his last resort?Isaac could not help pursing his lips—Harvey was really being elaborate with this one. "I know I should send our people after him, but we're too late… He already went abroad. It's weird now that I think about it, because he did not linger for a moment, and his outbound flight was arranged with perfect timing. I just don't get it! How did it pull it off so flawlessly?"The instant they realized that Harvey was gone, James sent his men to guard the airports and anyplace else he might be, but Harvey made it out anyway.It even looked like they had arranged their own capture from the timing of that

If they were not meant to be together, would they have ever met and became sweethearts at university? Zachary thought then that his mother was being ridiculous, saying that he and Lulu were not meant to be together! It annoyed him considerably, and he got out of bed.Mrs. Slate began, "You're hurt—""I'll live," Zachary growled impatiently. "You're so annoying."Mrs. Slate became silent, while he drove straight home.Naturally, Lulu was not there, and he expected that.He hung his head as he sat alone on the couch, thinking.…Lulu was staying at the house Ricky rented for her, but she was feeling dispirited for some reason. She was curled up as she sat on the edge of the couch, unable to stop himself remembering the sight of Zachary stabbing himself in the chest.Maybe… Just maybe, his feelings for her were real?She quickly shook her head as soon as the idea took hold, and got out of the couch to leave.Still, she paused at the doorway after putting on her shoes, hesi

The lunchbox was not from the cafeteria, and while the sliced fruits inside were not rare, it was not exactly common either.Not even Sheryl knew that she liked it because of its sickly sweet taste, even compared to other fruits. She loved it as a child, and since not many knew that, she soon had a hunch.To no surprise, Seth appeared at the door and he entered with a smile.Irene's expression was ice-cold, however. "What are you doing here?""Just checking in on you, or is that not allowed?""Nope," Irene said shortly. Seth was not discouraged, however. Even if he wanted to know what happened between Irene and Harvey badly, he was smart enough to not mention it."I remembered that you liked this fruit as a kid, so I bought it for you as dessert after your lunch."Irene lowered her gaze. She did like to eat sweet food as a child, but that was because life has been tough for her as a child.Now that she was an adult, she no longer relied on that stuff, and she did not he

Isaac did not answer right away, and instead asked, "Are you sick?"Irene took her hand off her stomach and denied it. "No… it's just my hip. It's sore from standing all day." Aside from the first glance, she had not been looking at Isaac since, and said even as she kept her gaze lowered, "It's late. We should go home."She started to leave, and tried to keep herself standing straight as much as possible, reluctant to let Isaac see that she was ill.Isaac remained where he was.Suddenly, he asked, "How long do you need?"Irene's back stiffened for a moment, and she began to stride off.She did not want to talk about it, and with him at that.Isaac quickly caught up, and took her hand despite his reluctance.She struggled a little, but she allowed herself to be pulled along since she could not free herself.He had parked his car outside, and the lights flickered as he whipped out his key and pressed a button. While he opened the door, Irene held the car door in place."Isa

The only thing Isaac could come up with was that he had upset Irene.But when he thought about it, he did not do anything that would make her unhappy, did he?"Did I upset you?" Irene had calmed down in turn, and realized that she made a mistake—she should not have taken it out on Isaac."I'm sorry," she apologized."It's alright," he replied.Irene was quiet for a moment, before she murmured while her lips quivered, "Shouldn't you be saying that we don't have to apologize to each other?"Isaac chuckled. "We should always apologize when we're at fault, or we'd start tantrums on a whim."He actually did not want to be cagey or too polite, because it meant that they were distant—that their feelings for each other were getting bland.And he did not want that!Even so, Irene was feeling miserable after what happened, and right now, he should be doing his best to ease her mind.He was certainly not that magnanimous, but he simply understood that what happened was not her fault,

"Let's meet up, Irene!"Isaac looked up, as if to ask who it was.Irene shook her head— she did not recognize the number or the voice.Isaac pressed the button for the speaker and asked, "Who are you?"Beep, beep…The caller hung up right then, seemingly because they could not hear Irene's voice.Irene frowned. "Who could it be?"Isaac shook his head. "I have no idea."In truth, he had a hunch that it was Harvey, who was on the run, calling with a voice-changing application.Noting the number, he sent it to James and had him look into it."It's just the emergency room available at this hour, right?" he then asked."Yeah," Irene replied, nodding—she was actually fine, and a little hot soup would be enough for her to feel better. Still, she got checked anyway. Afterwards, her doctor told her that he could prescribe her painkillers if she could not stand the pain.Knowing the serious side effects, and that it cured the symptom but not the cause, she refused, and left the cli

Irene found the voice familiar, as if she had just heard it last night.She turned around and found Moneypenny standing behind her.She could not help taking one step backward while asking warily, "What do you want?""We need to talk," Moneypenny said, and quickly explained, "Master Jefferson doesn't know that I'm here. In fact, he's too sick to order me around. Coming to see you was my own decision.""We have nothing to talk about." Irene refused him right away, and started toward the building again.Still, Moneypenny jogged up and stood in front of her. "Master Jefferson has made errors in judgements, but having you marry Master Isaac was definitely the best thing he had ever done."Irene knows that Moneypenny was appealing to her emotion, just as she never forgot everything Henry did—be it good or bad.She had decided to see past it since it was in the past, but she would still hold Henry's treatment of Isaac against him.He was clearly treating Isaac unfairly, when he was t
