The Runaway Groom Chapter 850
Irene gingerly asked Lulu, "Are you alright? I just wanted to get a nicer hotel. I didn't think we would run into Zachary—""Irene." Lulu cut her short with a smile. "I'm fine."Studying Lulu's face for seconds, Irene decided to keep quiet after ensuring that she was.Changing the subject, she asked, "You've been away for a while. Anything you'd like to eat? It's my treat."Lulu thought about it. "Strawberry cake."Irene was speechless—they could get that anywhere!"Just cake? It's not that often you come back.""Fine, but after dinner."Martin joined them as they headed out to eat, before getting the strawberry cake as well."When can I take a look at the body?" Lulu asked. "Anytime. Isaac has already arranged everything with the hospital," Irene said. "But you should rest before you go—it was a long journey and you're pregnant.""No. If it's alright with you, I'd like to get it done soon and head home." It was obvious that Lulu did not want to linger, so Irene called Is

The remains of a broken test tube lay on the floor, and Isaac strode into the room, studying Irene from head to toe."Are you alright?"Irene shook her head. "I'm fine."Isaac frowned—her face was pale, and she appeared weak as she lay against a desk.Still, he asked, "Did you find something?""Dennis was definitely poisoned," she replied. "I found traces of hemlock in the sample Lulu gave me.""Hemlock?" Isaac asked. "What's that?""It's a poisonous plant," Irene explained. "You can extract enough poison to kill two oxen with a single shrub."However, she had no idea who would poison Dennis—he had been admired and loved during his time at Hotmesh Research, and no one held enmity against him."Maybe he consumed it by mistake?""No," Irene said confidently. "That can't happen because hemlock doesn't exist here—it's indigenous to another continent. Moreover, there should be initial symptoms such as exhaustion, accelerated heart rate, cerebral hypoxia, and fainting. It would the

Still feeling muddled as she picked up her phone, Irene answered, "Hello?""Were you still asleep?" Lulu asked.Irene looked up at the clock and saw that it was already past nine. She sat up, rubbing her eyes. "I had a late night, so I overslept.""I knew it. Anyway, we found something suspicious from the video you gave—up and at it, girl. Let's meet up."Irene pulled off her blanket and got out of bed. "Alright, I'll meet you at the hotel.""Okay."Once she put away her phone, Irene quickly got dressed and washed up. She headed downstairs, where Isaac was teaching Tommy chess."I need to go," Irene said, heading straight to the porch and putting on her shoes. Isaac put down his chess piece and patted Tommy's head. "Let's continue when I come home."Tommy pouted unhappily in silence.Isaac told him. "Be a good boy, and I'll buy you a toy." Tommy promptly looked up, beaming. "I want a Transformers toy.""Okay," Isaac said, making his way to Irene. "You haven't eaten yet.

Irene appeared agitated, but Lulu held her hand and made her sit. "You should be pleased that they're not after you." "No, I won't be pleased. They killed a man just for money!" Still, Irene soon noticed that she was getting too emotional, and she quickly apologized, "Sorry."Lulu smiled, thinking nothing of it. "I know you can't accept the evils of humanity… Well, I'm used to it."Which was why she thought it perfectly natural."Either way, we now have a suspect. Top that with some evidence, and we'd be able to prove your innocence."Still, Irene's phone rang just after Lulu was finished and she glanced at it.She snorted, but she was otherwise calm—it was yet another court summons as Neil Turner sued her again. She was not at all surprised, and she sat down to gather herself.Nwo, she just had to wait for Isaac to do his thing, since Martin had already pointed out the suspect. It was the nurse who brought Dennis a glass of water.Dennis fainted soon after, and he died

Molly was quickly on her knees, begging for mercy. "I really don't know anything! Please, just let me go!""She's stubborn. She's really refusing to talk," James said then.Isaac looked at her in disdain with his cool visage. "Stubborn? I believe that they always talk. If they don't, it just means that the approach is wrong.""Yes, sir. Leave it to me—I'll make her talk in ten minutes," James said, and beckoned. "Someone bring me a—""Alright! I'll talk, I'll talk…" Molly could see that the men around her were no angels, and that there would be pain if she stayed silent.She had gone straight to internship after graduating university, before earning her certification as a proper nurse. Naturally, she could not even stand the thought of physical pain since she never suffered.And if she would talk after being put through the pain, she would rather talk before."Then, talk!" James dropped to a crouch, glaring at her. "At least you understand. If you were any slower, you'd really s

Yolanda blurted, "Then what killed him?""Poison," Irene replied. The room was suddenly silent, but they were skeptical.Poison? That was simply unbelievable!"What poison?" Yolanda asked with a clearly skeptical tone, and even her reaction was basically asking if Irene was trying to avoid responsibility. After all, they knew that Irene had insisted on performing the surgery on Dennis, and she must bear responsibility for his death. Still, Irene patiently explained, "I hope everything I say here will stay in this room. We're gathering evidence, but we don't have everything yet, which is why I must ask for your silence. If we make too much noise, we'd alert the culprits—right now, no one knows that I've already discovered that Dennis was poisoned."Pausing, she continued, "I know you won't believe me, and you'd think that I'm trying to excuse myself from this responsibility. So, I'm obliged to tell you that I'm not—everyone must know that we had technical issues during our res

Irene then saw Eagle standing beside Neil.As Neil scrambled to his feet, he was pointing and snapping at Eagle, "Y-You hit me again! I-I'll sue you for physical assault!"Eagle simply raised his fist and Neil flinched, clutching his head. "No! Don't hit me!""Then get out of here!" Eagle barked sternly. Having had a taste of Eagle's strength and knowing that he would not win, Neil promptly fled.Irene walked toward Eagle just then—the man certainly offered a stalwart sense of security as a bodyguard."I won't go easy on him if he shows up again. There's really no end with him.""Yeah," Irene agreed as she got into the car. "Just keeping him away is a blessing."Neil was unreasonable, and he latched onto people annoying like chewing gum. "It's the first time I've ever met someone like him," Eagle said."There are all sorts out there," Irene replied. Just as there were every variety of oddity out in the world. Once a person understood that, they would certainly be at eas

Irene knocked on the door to Isaac's office, and it soon opened.Isaac stood at the doorway as he noticed the bag she was holding. He asked, "What's that you're holding?"Irene entered and replied, "Dirty clothes." Isaac was just about to ask her what dirty clothes she was referring to when James Cross entered as well."Sit down. Do you need a drink?" Isaac asked."Yeah," Irene murmured distractedly, nestled on the couch. Isaac could tell that she was under the weather, but he asked nothing and instead returned to his desk."You said 'almost'. Did you find the guy?" he asked James."Yeah," James nodded. "Our man is a subordinate working under New Suns Pharma's deputy CEO."And that man had asked someone to bribe the nurse.Since they had already found the perps, they just had to deal with Neil.That man was still adamant that Irene's surgery and the artificial heart was what killed Dennis. He would have trouble accepting that his father was poisoned, and was not killed bec
