The Runaway Groom Chapter 735
Irene's appearance surprised everyone.They were all briefly stunned, but they soon turned toward Finn."How did you know it's actually here?"None of them told him, after all.Finn was just going to say that Yolanda told them, but Irene spoke before he could. "Is it really that hard for me to find out?'Yolanda just arrived, and heard her—she realized right then that she should not have spoken in front of Finn. After all, the boy did not understand the politics involved and would admit the truth straightaway. If everyone else found out that she was the one who talked, they would definitely give her a wide berth.Meanwhile, Irene slowly approached the crowd, her gaze sweeping across those who just spoke nonchalantly. "You know who Isaac is to me. Of course he'll find out what I want to know."Dennis walked up to her then. "Come, Irene. Sit with me."Irene sat beside him naturally, while the people who were quite enthusiastic moments ago stopped moving and stayed silent.Iren

Irene frowned at the man's snappy voice. "Who are you?""We're at Aerial Vision right now.""What's that supposed to be?"Those words only Irene left confused.An unfamiliar voice and an unfamiliar address? She naturally would not go there recklessly!"Let me go…"A voice spoke from the other end then.Irene frowned—it sounded a little like Zachary Slate. What was going on over there?However, whether it was due to a bad signal or something else, things began to turn noisy and choppy over there.Unable to hear anything, Irene hung up and alighted.Isaac had reached home just then, and she stood there waiting for him to go in with her."Did you just come back?" Isaac asked as he walked up to her, giving her a gentle hug when she nodded.Before they could enter, however, Irene's phone rang again.She frowned as she answered, and Zachary soon spoke from the other end. "Irene, please help me…"Irene was confused, but asked tentatively, "Zachary?""Yeah, it's me… You have t

However, Zachary wobbled in front of her before dropping to the floor with a thud.Left dumbfounded, Irene promptly dropped to a crouch to check on him the next instant. However, she found Zachary winking at her away from the others' gazes.Irene was speechless. He was pretending? Why?While she was still confused, the bald man beckoned for his thugs to leave.Zachary quickly tugged on her sleeve and mouthed, "Com—pen—sa—tion."Irene realized with a start and sprang to her feet. "Stop! Are you trying to leave just like that after you caused injury?"The bald man wheeled on her with a vicious glare. "Are you trying to swindle me?!""No, but he's unconscious and needs the hospital. You have to foot his bill," Irene said.The bald man strode toward her right then, but Isaac stepped in between, his presence calm but intimidating. "What do you think you are doing?""She's trying to swindle me."The bald man naturally knew how far they went, since they did not hit Zachary anywher

Zachary was left puzzled by Isaac's sudden outburst."What? How did you upset you now?" He puffed his chest confidently, his usual fear of Isaac gone since Irene was here with them.Isaac really wanted to kick Zachary right then."Clean up your own mess from now on! What were you thinking, asking for her? What can a woman like her do?! If I didn't happen to get home at the same time, she would have come alone. Who knows what would happen then? Maybe you did not think before you did? Or maybe your brain is just mush?!""It wasn't me—they took my phone," Zachary quickly explained. "They called her."Isaac was skeptical. "How many contacts do you have on your phone? And they had to call her?"Zachary hung his head guiltily then, afraid to look Isaac in the eye."Say something!" Isaac barked."I wanted to call her, but I didn't even though it was on display. I just slipped my phone back in my pocket, and they saw it when they unlocked the screen."He wanted to ask Irene about Lu

Since Ricky was impulsive and easily got into conflicts with others, he was naturally on edge when he saw Zachary.Irene quickly turned to Zachary. "It's late. You should head straight home."She barely finished when a blur darted toward them and punched Zachary in the face.Irene quickly caught Ricky. "What are you doing?! Both of you are hurt!"On the other hand, Zachary wiped his lips and looked at Ricky askance.Still, he said. "It's fine… I'll be giving up on Lulu, Ricky. Just do what you will with her—you don't have to be hostile with me now."Although he did not hit back, Ricky snorted. "You're despicable, Zachary Slate. Playing goody two shoes now after what you did? She wouldn't have left if you'd let go of her sooner!""Left? Where to?" Zachary, who was completely in the dark, was naturally surprised by what Ricky said. After all, Lulu did not have relatives, and her only connection was her best friend, Irene.He quickly turned toward Irene and asked, "Where did she

"It's me," Isaac whispered softly into Irene's ear. She turned and smacked him on the chest in annoyance. "You scared me."Isaac held her hands down. "I'll be more careful next time."Irene took a moment to calm down then—her heart had almost leapt out of her throat just now, as she thought someone had broken in.Still, she became worried anyway. "I wonder how Lulu's doing. Where would she go? She's all by herself…"Isaac frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you tired?"Irene flexed her neck in response—it had certainly been a long day, and it was very late. "Yeah," she replied with a yawn."So why bother?" Irene realized then that he was not concerned, but complaining that she was being a busybody instead."They're family," she grumbled. "I can't do nothing—""Yeah, now go to bed." Isaac wrapped his arms around her then.She sighed. "I haven't bathed…""It's fine to skip for a day. Go to bed."Irene fell in bed and closed her eyes as she spoke. "Fine. I'll do it tomorr

"Shush." Yolanda King put a finger on her lips.Irene frowned when she saw who it was. "What are you doing?"What was Yolanda being so hushed about?She could just say it directly, whatever it was—why drag her to this quiet place? Irene almost thought it was a villain."I'm worried we'd be seen!" Yolanda grinned. "Anyway, I just wanted to thank you."Irene straightened her clothes and asked, "What for?"Yolanda actually felt awkward just then. "You know what for."Irene actually did not. "I'm going if you won't say it.""Oh, don't be in such a hurry!" Yoland exclaimed, catching her."It's work hours," Irene said flatly. Yolanda smiled in embarrassment. "Well, it's for you not to reveal that it was me last night. I know you did that for my sake."Irene brushed nonexistent dust off her clothes. "It's nothing. Having one person being ostracized in the building is more than enough, and the rest of you would at least be able to get along. The big picture, right?"There was furt

Irene was still staring at the diagnosis report as she murmured softly, "How could this be…?" So, Dennis was in a hurry to retire… because of his condition?She was a heart surgeon who had been researching artificial hearts and knew best when it comes to heart conditions.While Dennis's malignant arrhythmia sounded less scary than heart failure, it was dangerous regardless!Arrhythmia—especially malignant cases—posed danger because it meant the distortion of the heart's regular rhythm, causing it to beat irregularly or just stop abruptly. Patients might suddenly lose consciousness out of the blue and faint, which required emergency resuscitation right away or it would mean death! And judging from the diagnosis data, Dennis's condition was very serious. Benign cases or early discovery might be curable, but it was not the case for Dennis—all he could do was control the symptoms to control the symptoms. But should the worst strike…Irene found it ironic that Dennis would have
