The Runaway Groom
The voice from the other end was as loud as it was urgent. “Come in right now! The patient is going
into cardiac arrest. I’ll keep him alive for now!”
Irene’s heart skipped a beat, but she restrained her panic and answered, “Got it.”
“Take the back door when you come. The patient’s family might stop you if you come from the front,”
Ray added.
“Got it,” Irene repeated.
As she put down her phone, she tried to act casual as she said, “I’m stopping here for the day. Ray Hall
has just called, saying that Dennis is improving. I’ll go take a look.”
She did not dare to mention the bad news in fear that Isaac would stop her from going.
Isaac was in turn staring at her with a meaningful gaze.
“Really?” he asked, clearly skeptical.
“Yeah.” She smiled. “Come with me if you don’t believe me.”
“Alright. I will,” Isaac said, rising to his feet.
Irene was speechless—she thought that Isaac would not bother, and yet…
Whatever. Anything could wait until after they head to the hospital.
“Let’s go to our room for a bath and a change of clothes.”
Irene did not even have the time to do it. “I’ll just get changed. The bath can wait—let’s go to the
hospital now.”
Isaac got up, leaning against her.
After they returned to their room and got changed, they headed to the hospital.
However, they had just arrived outside and Isaac was going to alight as well when his phone rang.
It was James Cross—there was a document that needed Isaac’s personal signature and he could not
sign it.
Irene seemed to sense that he was needed. She said, “Go. I’ll be fine—Dennis is better now, so his
family won’t harass me.”
Isaac mused to himself for a while. “Call me if there’s any issue.”
Irene nodded and watched as he drove off. She was about to turn and go straight inside when she
remembered Ray telling her to take the back entrance, and she did so.
However, Neil Turner caught her even as she reached the small door at the back.
“Irene Spencer!” he growled with a menacing glare, as if he would lunge at her and tear her into pieces.
“How dare you lie to me! ‘The surgery was a success’, was it?!”
Irene took a step back by instinct, but she calmly told him, “It was a success. It’s probably just a post-
surgery symptom or rejection. That’s a risk that comes with any major surgery—”
“Don’t bother with your excuses! My mother fainted after she was told what happened to my father.
There’s no telling what would happen to her, but if she ends up hurt too, I will bring this down on your
head until there’s nothing left of you!”
“I’m willing to take responsibility,” Irene told him. “But right now, you have to let me see your father—”
“Again?!”
Neil started toward her, clearly seeing red.
However, before he could reach Irene, Eagle appeared out of nowhere between him and Irene, and
then kicked him away with swift precision.
As Neil landed on the floor, he was left stumped by Eagle’s sudden arrival.
“…Who are you?!”
However, as Eagle leveled his cold, sharp eyes at Neil, he was immediately silenced.
“What are you doing here?” Irene asked, surprised by Eagle’s appearance too.
She left with Isaac this morning, and Isaac was also the one who drove her here.
Could Eagle have been following them all along?
“I’m in charge of your safety, ma’am,” Eagle replied. “I’m always watching.”
Irene nodded—so that was it.
Still, she tugged at Eagle, “There’s no need for further violence. Just keep him here.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Eagle nodded.
While Irene went inside the hospital, Neil got off the ground to chase after Irene, but he did not dare to
move when Eagle was leering at him.
Fuming, he had to watch as Irene left.
As such, he instead browbeat the hospital staff and obtained evidence of Irene insisting on performing
the surgery on his father as evidence to bring her to court!
