All Chapters of The Runaway Groom: Chapter 471 - Chapter 480

Irene's body and thoughts froze.H-He was awake?What should she do?How was she going to explain herself?Could she say that he was too good looking, and that she could not help it?What should she do?The instant she felt him hold her, she came up with so many excuses…But Isaac never opened his eyes, even though he was actually pushing his tongue up against hers now and was kissing her so hard that he was almost devouring her.She felt her breath leaving her lungs. Was he really awake…?"I missed you, Irene…" he murmured, almost unintelligibly. But she clearly heard it.She froze.He just said… He missed her?A crystalline drop of tear slid and trickled off the corner of her eye, dripping on his cheek.Isaac did not wake up—he was actually dreaming. Irene slowly got up. So, it was all just sleep-talking. "But I'm happy to hear you say you miss me."She wiped the lipstick from his lips, pulled his blanket over him, and left the hotel room, gently closing the

James had barely finished when one of the three burly men pushed him back inside the room.Erin was huffing and she promptly snapped when she saw that. "Fuck him up!"The three of them charged forward, and one of them landed a heavy jab on his left eye, flooring him.Luckily, James had seen action, and quickly grabbed a chair, swinging it at the man nearest to him, knocking him out!While another man tried to grab him from behind, he leaped aside and kicked him squarely on the back before making a dash outside and making his escape!…Harvey went looking for Irene right after he landed in Minerva. However, he had been knocking on her door for quite a while, but nobody answered.Still, he was going to call her when he noticed some sort of lifeform walking toward him. He flinched in shock—how could someone so ugly exist? When Irene saw him, she asked, "What are you doing here? It's so late already."Harvey appeared incredulous. "W-Wait, you're Irene?""Yeah," she replied cas

Irene asked, "Who is it?""One of your patients," the hospital chief said, before adding seriously, "He's now a shareholder of our hospital, so try not to get on the wrong side of him. It might complicate your career."She had a patient who was also a shareholder of Mead Clinic?Who?She quickly realized that it might be Isaac. He acquired Mead Clinic shares? Already?Still, it was only Isaac who had such ability among all his patients, especially when it came to tussling with the likes of the Raideens. "He's in the same ward as last time. Go on."Irene became even surer then. "Okay." Once she stepped out, she headed straight for the washroom to quickly put on makeup. She had presumed that she would see him in the evening again, so she forgot to put on her exaggerated makeup in the morning. Fortunately, she had everything prepared in her bag.Ten minutes later, she headed to the ward.To no surprise, Isaac was standing near the window and turned around when he heard the

Irene froze. Isaac had a towel around his waist, but his entire body was still wet, and… there was a scarlet rash over every inch of his skin.Surprised, she asked, "What happened?""That's my question. What did you put in my bath?" Isaac was frowning—the rash itched so badly! Irene quickly spoke into her phone. "Something just came up. I'll talk to you later."With that, she hung up and hurried into the bathroom and checked the bath, and somehow fished out a substance that could cause oversensitive skin. But she never put it in… How did it get in there?"Don't scratch," Irene told Isaac when she stepped out. "Just wait here. I'll get you an ointment—"However, Isaac grabbed her by the neck before she could leave, a menacing air spilling out of him as he growled, "You did this, didn't you?"Irene was suffocating and instinctively shielded her belly. "I have no reason to hurt you, Mr. Jefferson," she gasped. "It does me no good—there's a misunderstanding here, believe me."

Daisy said smugly, "She's a Zidonian, but she's stealing everyone's thunder. Our chief even recommended her for the next promotion, and she'd definitely be the next attending physician if we didn't do a thing about it. Well, now that I've slipped that drug into the bath salt she prepared for that Zidonian patient, rumor is already spreading that she'll be fired soon. The patient must consider her incompetent now.""That's enough, dear. We should be celebrating—why don't we jump into the bath together?" Bob suggested."Oh, you dirty boy," Daisy purred. …On the way back, Irene did not say a word in the car."We just have to show Admin the video we recorded of them, and it's over for them both," Jeff said. "So why the long face?"Irene said, "I hate intrigue. I really didn't expect them to do something like that.""There's a promotion at stake, after all. Moreover, an attending physician in Mead Clinic is a department chief in any other hospital. Of course things would get compet
