The Runaway Groom
Irene asked, “What’s big?”
Finn kept gasping, “Someone… approached us… asking for the artificial heart.”
Irene was taken aback, but asked, “Who?”
“A patient with a congenital heart condition. He heard that our former director used our artificial heart
before and he’s willing to give it a try,” Finn said, staring at her with an urgent look. “This is an
opportunity.”
Irene knew that too, but she said, “Find out if he’s really sick.”
She had to be cautious after what happened with Dennis Turner, and the artificial heart was not yet
certified as well.
“Okay, I’ll go right now,” Finn said, rushing out of the room as quickly as he did when he arrived.
At the same time, Irene asked for care workers from the hospital.
She wanted the right people and cost was no issue. She also screened through the candidates before
picking one.
Mrs. Watson felt embarrassed that Irene got people to take care of her. She said, “I’ve really caused
you so much trouble just because I fell sick. You even had to get me a care worker. I…”
“Oh, Mrs. Watson.” Irene smiled as she took Mrs. Watson’s hand. “You’ve helped me so much more. I
wouldn’t even have time to go to work without you around. It’s only right that I take care of you when
you’re sick, and I already feel guilty that I have to hire a care worker for you since I have to get back to
work. Please just accept this favor.”
“But I heard they charge over two hundred per day. Isn’t that too expensive? I thought the usual fee is
around a hundred…”
“They’re more reliable,” Irene assured her.
Mrs. Watson had no words just then, and she could only feel grateful.
Irene was being sincerely nice, and she hired a more expensive care worker in fear that the care
workers would get upset with Mrs. Watson.
“Now get some rest. I’m going to work now—I’m coming back to check on you later.”
“Okay,” Mrs. Watson said, waving Irene off. “Just go already. You have nothing to worry about with the
care worker here.”
Irene told the care worker to call her anytime something came up, giving them her number.

When Irene arrived at Hotmesh Research, everyone was debating if they should use the artificial heart
again.
They mobbed her as soon as they saw her arrive, asking, “Did you hear about the request, Director
Spencer? What do you think?”
“We’re not given permission yet,” Irene replied. “We won’t use it on the patient for now.”
Everyone was silent, but Dennis’s survival with the artificial heart was a living example and the medical
board would not drag their feet with the certification.
With that, Irene told everyone to go to work while she cleaned up her office.
Finn soon returned with the patient’s medical history, and it was indeed a congenital heart defect with
no other possible treatment, which was why they were eager to try the artificial heart.
After all, when there was no option, even a risky chance brought hope.
Irene, however, was staring at the patient’s file in silence.
Finn then said, “The patient told us that they would sign an agreement if we provide an artificial heart—
whatever happens, we will not be responsible.”
Irene asked, “Do you think this would work?”
Finn was taken aback—Irene always had her opinion on things. Why was she hesitant now?
“I mean, in the case of our former director, someone was out to hurt him,” Finn pointed out. “All we did
is our best to save him. You shouldn’t let that weigh you down.”
“I’m not, but the repercussions were so severe.”
It was not as if Irene did not want to help—she still could not get over the lawsuits and the guilt of
Dennis’s death.
That was why she had to give it further consideration.
Finn suddenly noticed that Irene was packing everything on her desk and he wrinkled his brow. “Why
are you packing up your things?”
Irene looked at him then. “I won’t lie to you, Finn—I’m thinking about resigning.”
“Why?!” he exclaimed in confusion. “Once the medical board gives their approval, the artificial heart
would be certified as medical equipment. But you’re leaving at this juncture?!”
