The Runaway Groom Chapter 841
Although Irene had an idea what it might be, she asked, "What is it? Is the director's condition improving?" Ray nodded. "Yes—in fact, he just woke up, and they just sent him for a checkup."Irene flinched a little in surprise.Dennis Turner woke up—he woke up! That meant she saved him!Though she wanted to laugh, she could not.Everything that happened over the last few days—from the misunderstanding, to being taken to court—had taken its toll on her!But now, she finally had hope!Nonetheless, Ray told her, "I've taken a look at him already. He's doing fine—there probably won't be any issues."Irene smiled and nodded, but she was not relieved—not until she saw Dennis with her own eyes. Ray seemed to read her mind. He said, "Think positive. He's awake, and that means your problems are over, just like that."That certainly was the case—they would not be harassing her relentlessly after this. "Yeah," Irene said. "You should go back to work. I'll be waiting here for a wh

Neil's face contorted with rage. "You devious witch."Irene, however, was unmoved—she had seen through Neil's true nature and she was not interested in being petty like him!Dennis, however, almost passed out again from sheer frustration toward his son! Pointing at him, he snapped, "Don't you know that I'd be dead if she didn't insist on operating on me?! She put everything on the line to save me, but you sued her instead of thanking her?! Who taught you to be such an ingrate, huh?!"Neil retorted stubbornly, "She broke regulation—""Do you think I'd be alive if she followed regulation?!" Dennis huffed. Irene simply stood in her corner, watching quietly.Ray, worried that Dennis would get a stroke again, quickly rubbed his back. "You just woke up—try to stay calm or it'd hamper your recovery. Just talk things out with him calmly."Then, he turned toward Neil and said, "I'm the one who told your father. In my opinion, you made a mistake, which was why I decided on my own to te
The Runaway Groom Chapter 843
Although Irene tried to pretend she did not see him, Neil strode up to her and said, "Don't get so full of yourself. You're just lucky my dad is nice—anyone else would be giving you a hard time right now and not let you get off scot-free."Irene shot him a cool look. "It's like you're saying I should be thanking you for teaching me something.""No thanks necessary," he said, striding toward the ward while deliberately knocking into her on the shoulder. Irene remained where she was, but she had to admit that she had definitely learned her lesson.She had no idea if she would do the same if the same situation happened again—impulsive decisions only led to terrible consequences!She was lucky this one passed without further issue.Stepping outside the hospital, she looked up at the skies at the blinding sun. She had to narrow her eyes, but her lips were curling up into a faint smile.She started forward as Eagle brought the car, although a familiar car soon arrived and stopped b

Irene waved him off and said. "I'm fine. Probably just bad food. Get the car right now.""Where are we going?" Eagle asked."Back to the hospital," Finn said, answering on Irene's behalf since she looked really sick. Eagle quickly got the car without another question, while Finn helped Irene into it.As Eagle drove to the hospital, Finn asked in concern, "Are you alright?"Irene actually thought that her pain subsided since the initial pang. "Much better."Color was returning to her face as well. Heaving a sigh of relief, Finn said, "You must be under a lot of pressure lately. Maybe you were too anxious when you saw Director Turner faint?"Irene ran the possibilities through her mind.She did not eat anything cold or dirty, so it was not food.Maybe it was as Finn put it—she was under too much pressure. "Maybe!"Her stomachache completely faded when they reached the hospital.However, just as she alighted, James arrived and intercepted her, asking grimly, "What are you
The Runaway Groom Chapter 845
Irene put down her phone after sending the text and waited for a reply from Lulu.She would peek at the screen from time to time, but there was nothing…Even as she reclined against the couch, she wondered the possible causes of Dennis's death.Naturally, she could not come up with anything, and that only left her more frustrated!Still, as she scratched her head…her phone jingled with a notification.She quickly picked it up, and tapped on the screen to find a reply from Lulu: [How can I help?]Irene took a moment to consider her words: [Can you come back to Cloud City?]There was another long pause before a reply came: [Do I have to go back to help you?]Irene replied: [Yes.]Still, she became worried about troubling Lulu since she was married now. And since Lulu wanted to start over, Irene had even less reason to bother her. [Actually, I was just joking. I missed you, that's all.]Lulu, however, doubted that. [I know you, woman. I'll check if there's a bus.] Irene pu

Irene was confused. "Why is he being petty?"She turned to Isaac with a look as if to ask: what are you being petty about?Zachary then explained, "He doesn't like me calling you 'Irene'. I mean, we both go way back, and I've always been calling you 'Irene'. But he's so petty he forbade me from doing it—please reason with him if you have the time to do so."Irene was utterly speechless.These two grown men could not have been more childish! Meanwhile, Zachary appeared gleeful. "Don't you think he's petty, just like a child?"Irene stared at him then. "There's something I've been keeping from you, Zachary."Zachary was still smiling. "What is it?""Lulu got married," Irene replied.Zachary's smile stiffened even before she was finished, and it was hilarious to see it left freezing on his face.Naturally, it was Isaac's turn to tease him. "You shouldn't be petty. She's married already, right?"Zachary said nothing, but sprang to his feet in disbelief, staring at Irene as he s

Isaac was at once speechless, helpless, and amused. "You're really not taking anything lying down, huh?"Irene smiled. "I got that from you. Didn't you hear Zachary? I'm taking after you.""Fine." Isaac gave in, tugging at the hem of her blouse. "I am jealous."Irene sat down then, while he brushed her sidelocks with his clean, strong fingers. "Stay home over the next few days, Irene," he said in his deep voice solemnly.Irene turned toward him. "Are you worried that Neil Turner would try to hurt me again? I have to show up at court if he maintains his lawsuit, not to mention that our priority right now is to find out what killed Dennis.""I'll get a forensic doctor—""I've already asked Lulu." Irene cut him short.Isaac stared calmly at her for several heartbeats. "She agreed to it?"Irene nodded. "Yeah."Isaac thought about it, and he then said, "Alright, let's go with that. The cause of death is priority."They would come up with solutions afterwards, although Isaac had
The Runaway Groom Chapter 848
Lulu's smile was forced as she quietly replied, "Yeah."Irene sharply noticed the change in Lulu's expression. Still, she blinked a couple times but said nothing.If Lulu was keeping quiet, it meant she did not want to tell Irene.As such, Irene simply smiled as if she never noticed. "When you stay with us—"Lulu cut her short before she could finish, "We're staying at a hotel, since there are many people in your home and you'd be inconvenienced. I'll help you out, and I'll be ready to leave once I'm done."Lulu was right—Irene did not expect her to bring her husband. Considering that, staying at her home might not be appropriate. "I'll book a hotel room for you then," Irene said as she whipped out her phone.Lulu did not stop her this time. "Thank you very much. It's your fault for being rich."Irene gave her a playful nudge. "Don't tease me."Once she booked a room and hung up, Lulu asked, "So? What's this favor you need?""Look, I didn't know you were pregnant—I would
