The Runaway Groom Chapter 827
"There's a misunderstanding," Irene reasoned. "I just want to meet you to explain—""You actually have something to say? Weren't you eager to hide from me? Even sicking your man on me? Now you're finally eager to talk after I sued you?! I'll make it very clear—I won't settle!" Irene stayed calm even though Neil was bellowing at her. "I don't need your forgiveness, because I'm not hurting anyone. I wanted to save your father, which was why, under the circumstances—""Don't tell me. Tell the judge, and see if what you did was up to regulation!" Neil growled and added, "And don't call me again, or I'll sue you for harassment too!"Irene certainly did not expect Neil to go that far!Even as she sighed to herself inwardly, she said, "Your father is a medical researcher, and you should know why his research centers around the heart. He wants to save more people, or would you want to see him die because of heart failure? I broke regulations, but I saved your father. He would be dead if

Though Neil wanted to flip out again, he restrained himself because of the difference in strength between him and Eagle. "You're good with arguing, aren't you? Now leave, or I'm calling the cops." Eagle had more to say, but Irene stopped him. If they kept this up, they would really start fighting—and she came to make peace, not to fight."He doesn't mean it. You should calm down and listen to me telling you what happened at the time—""What happened at the time was that you did not get our consent and you implanted an artificial heart still in its test face," Neil huffed. "And now my father is lying in the ICU, hanging by a thread—and you say you are trying to save my father? Did you really, now?!"Irene was stumped.Yes, she tried to save Dennis, but she did not.Even if he was not dead, he might be soon!Still, she looked Neil in the eye and said, "I did my best—""Don't bother!" Neil waved her off. "Leave, or I'm calling security!"Irene stared at him, knowing that she

James could see that Irene was worried."Did something happen?" he asked.Irene shook her head. "I can't reach him."James thought about it. "Maybe he's just busy. Maybe his phone is just out of juice. Don't worry, he'll be alright.""Yeah, I'm not worried," Irene said, taking a deep breath before stepping inside the elevator. "I'm going now."James only realized what was happening then, and he called out to her just as she was about to enter the elevator. "Is there a reason why you're looking for him?"Irene paused and turned toward him. "No.""I can help, whatever it is," James said.Irene was quiet for a while before she said, "There is a little something.""Let's talk in my office?" James asked."Sure," she replied.…They headed to his office, where James made her a cup of coffee and put it in front of her. "So? What's the matter?" he asked as he sat down. Irene went straight to the point. "I'm looking for a reliable lawyer. Is there anyone available here?""We do

Irene's call still did not reach Isaac and she could not help frowning, with worry showing on her visage. Why could she not reach him? It was certainly more puzzling that even James did not know where he was!Getting in the car while feeling uneasy, she forgot to tell Eagle to head home. Eagle had already started driving for a while before he eventually asked, "Where to, ma'am?"Irene, however, was feeling a headache with the lawsuit and with Isaac being out of reach.Closing her eyes, she said, "Home."Eagle could see her worrying from the rearview mirror, but he drove quietly.Once she reached home, Irene asked the instant she stepped inside, "Is Isaac Jefferson home?""No," Sheryl said, staring at her. "Do you always use his full name?"Irene was speechless—she was too anxious because she could not reach Isaac!Still, she tried to stay nonchalant with Sheryl. "I always do. I mean, what else should I call him? Baby daddy? That's vulgar."Sherly was amused. "Every lovin

Isaac remained relaxed with their baby in his arms.Sitting down on the couch while playing with the baby, he said, "The old man is dead."Irene appeared stumped. "The old man?"Which old man?"The one named Jefferson," Isaac said flatly, without any emotion in his tone. Irene, however, was stunned when she realized which old man he was referring to!"He's dead? From illness?" She knew about his condition, and while it was serious, they had managed to keep it in check with the best medicine available. He should not have expired that quickly… That was when Isaac said nonchalantly, "He had a heart attack."He kept his eyes away from him.Irene lifted a brow. "You gave him said heart attack?""There was a connection I guess," Isaac replied. Irene was speechless. She then took their baby from his arms and left the baby with Mrs. Watson while dragging Isaac upstairs.Once inside, she quickly asked, "What on earth happened?"Isaac simply sat on the edge of the bed, starin

Irene looked into Isaac's eyes as she said, "I know you're trying to comfort me."She could not help blaming herself because she was not the one who suffered.But as a fellow woman, she understood what Erin was going through.Nonetheless, Isaac said mildly, "Erin Gooding and James Cross made up. They're both doing well now, so don't shoulder the blame."Irene raised a brow. How was she unaware that they made up?However, it was good news that Erin could come around and start over with James.Making a serious face, she asked, "Where's Ian Jefferson now?""Locked up," Isaac said darkly. "He's hanging by a thread."Even though everything was now in the past, Ian had hurt him and the people around him.And that was unforgivable.That was why Isaac did not relent despite Henry's relentless pleading. He beat Ian half to death and kept the latter locked up in Jefferson Manor."Your grandfather's funeral—""His son will handle it. I just need to show my face for appearances sake,

Irene looked Isaac straight in the eye. "Uglies don't cheat."Isaac raised a brow, his visage alluring. "Did I cheat?'"...Not at the moment, but I wouldn't know. In the future…"Isaac leaned in and bit her nose. "I won't.""Ow." Irene grunted, pushing him away.Isaac beamed at her, his eyes twinkling beneath his thick lashes. "Where does it hurt?"Irene was speechless. Getting frisky again, huh?"Stop it, I'm not in the mood," she said sternly."Yeah," Isaac tamely got off her, while both of them composed themselves and straightened their clothes."By the way, did you go to my office to look for me?" Isaac asked."Yeah," Irene replied. "I had something to talk to you about, but it's resolved now.""Hmm." Isaac frowned. "What could be resolved so quickly?" "I was sued," Irene admitted. "That's why I wanted your help looking for a good lawyer. You weren't there, so James introduced me to a member of your legal team. The man looked formidable, even agreeing to help me reso

Neil's lawyer certainly questioned that statement. "That's merely an excuse. Are you saying that the patient would have died if the surgery was not performed?"Irene's lawyer in turn provided everything from physical evidence to material witness.Ray Hall, one of the doctors in charge during the surgery, was willing to testify for Irene as well—that Dennis would have died if not for the surgery!Even the initial diagnosis, the surgical process, and Dennis's medical history pointed to that."You may consult other specialists for a third-party opinion with these data to verify if Dennis Turner had faced mortality. But one way or another, it is clear that without said surgery, Mr. Turner would be dead."Neil whispered something into his lawyer's ear then and the lawyer nodded before saying, "That may be the case, but was the surgery performed in adherence to regulations?"The plaintiff had no comeback with the defendants' evidence and testimonies, so they could only repeatedly insis
