The Runaway Groom
Irene lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. “Isaac really wants a daughter.”
Lulu was silent for a moment. “How could he be so greedy?”
“He never mentioned it, actually,” Irene said quietly. “I just think it’s regrettable I can’t grant him his
wish.”
“Then you’re being paranoid,” Lulu told Irene. “Why pressure yourself when he’s not saying anything?”
“Fine, I’m the greedy one, alright?” Irene smiled.
“You are greedy. You’d want a son if you had daughters instead… but that’s human greed for you. It’s
endless, and humans only ever ask for more,” Lulu said, suddenly staring at the ceiling. “Irene… I just
want to live the rest of my life peacefully with Martin.”
“And you will,” Irene said. “Martin’s surgery was a success.”
Lulu pursed her lips in silence, while Irene suddenly apologized—Johnny had told Irene everything and
that Ricky would have been the one getting shot if not for Martin.
In the end, Ricky was the one who caused them so much trouble.
Sighing, Irene said, “I didn’t think that he would mess up so badly.”
“He’s just a kid,” Lulu told Irene reassuringly—Ricky was simply led astray.
“But it’s still a grave mistake,” Irene pointed out. “His life would have been over.”
Lulu became silent.
Even if Ricky had contributed a lot to Bob’s arrest, he was not avoiding prison for his crimes—the only
difference was that it was a lighter sentence thanks to his help in arresting Bob.
Moreover, he could get parole for good behavior while in prison, and it was already the most ideal
outcome.
Irene agreed too, since there were no other options in this matter.
Ricky had to take responsibility for his own actions, and he should learn and mature after this.
“Let me get you something to eat,” Irene said then, getting to her feet.
Lulu was just feeling a little hungry as well, and she could drink and eat easily digestible food six hours
after her C-section.
Still, Irene was limping since she was afraid of putting too much pressure on her sprained leg.
Lulu frowned. “What happened to your leg?”
Irene turned to Lulu and joked, “I was so worried about you that I sprained my leg when I rushed here.”
While Lulu was left speechless, Irene asked, “Feeling guilty? If you are, you can have your daughter be
betrothed to Tommy.”
Lulu was speechless at that—that was even more ridiculous!
Lulu protested, “She’s just a baby—”
Irene cut her short. “My son is too.”
Lulu laughed. “Did Isaac agree to this?”
Irene felt as if her heart clenched from the mention of Isaac, leaving her with a dull ache in the chest.
She still had not received word from James, and that meant they had not found Isaac.
She was absolutely worried since they did not know if Isaac survived at all.
“He just has to listen to me,” Irene said and stepped out of the ward, closing the door behind her.
She did not want Lulu to see the worry on her face.
“Ms. Spencer.” Johnny greeted Irene when he arrived with some lunch boxes and saw her outside
Lulu’s ward.
Irene smiled in return as he continued, “I was just bringing Lulu some chicken soup. My mom cooked it
—she said it’s good for women just after they give birth.”
“Thank you,” Irene replied. “I was just going to buy her some food.”
“I can bring it for her next time,” Johnny offered. “Hospital food is really plain.”
Irene nodded. “Thanks for the trouble.”
“It’s nothing.” Johnny smiled and opened the door to the ward.
As he strode inside with the lunch boxes, Irene limped and followed him when her phone started to
ring.
She whipped out her phone and saw that it was James.
Was there news on Isaac?!
She quickly answered it.
