The Runaway Groom Chapter 64
Irene knew that Isaac was up to no good even as she watched him.And just as expected, he chuckled and said, "I love it when you suffer."She was left speechless for a while, but stayed calm as she retorted, "Your interests are so weird that those who didn't know beforehand would think you're nuts."With those words, she sat on her bed—she was much better now, and had gotten tired after going through some physiotherapy for the day. She then glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already nine, and asked, "Aren't you leaving?'However, the more eager she was to make him leave, the more reluctant Isaac was to do so."Wherever you'll go, I'll be there," he said as he leaned against his couch lazily.Irene simply ignored him and lay down on her bed, when Isaac said, "I'll be sleeping with you here tonight."Ignoring him again, she pulled her blanket to keep herself tightly enveloped, as if afraid that he would come to take it away from her.Isaac smiled at her reaction

Whitney could not care less right then—she must stop Irene from getting it on with Isaac!However, when the door was abruptly opened, Isaac's expression turned to a glower and he sprang to his feet. Glaring at the intruders, he bellowed, "Who let you in here?!"His glower turned even more fearsome when he saw that it was Whitney!Still, Whitney was quick enough to respond in time. "I was going to visit Irene…"Irene, however, was certainly aware that Whitney was here to destroy her. Sitting up in bed, she deliberately and intimately wrapped her arms around Isaac from behind.Despite his considerable height, she was on her bed, allowing her chin enough leverage to rest on Isaac's shoulder.Smiling at Whitney, she asked, "You're visiting me? For what?"Despite her smugness, she was praying inwardly that Isaac would not push her away right then.However, Isaac proved to be at once cooperative and accepting.He loved Irene being this close to him, and the scent wafting from her bo

"You mean, for causing trouble in paradise?" Irene did not deny it. "Of course I am."Yes, she could never get a read on the actual relationship between Isaac and Whitney, but she was not bothered.All she needed to know was that Whitney was head over heels for Isaac, and the fact that she was staying around Isaac would piss Whitney off. Knowing that alone was enough.On the other hand, Isaac loved her honestly, and he swiftly wrapped his arms around her and pinned her against the bed.Irene panicked right then, and her speech turned to a stammer. "W-What are you doing? This is the hospital! You're going to be caught in a scandal if anyone sees you!"Isaac grinned. "Are you saying that we can do it anywhere but the hospital?""That's not what I mean!" Irene promptly denied it—in fact, she would never do it with him wherever they were!Everything she said just now was just to upset Whitney!On the other hand, Isaac was looking with eyes flaring with desire, but he was restrain

Irene stroked her belly, and in her mind, she told her lost child, 'See? The one who hurt you is receiving her just deserts.'Closing the door behind herself, she sat on her bed and glanced at the glass of water Isaac drank.Ever since Whitney showed up, she never touched any food made by the hospital, and only stuck to the food Mrs. Watson brought.Whitney had spiked her drink, but it somehow ended up with Isaac drinking it—taking the bullet for her, figuratively.Whipping out her phone, she called Zachary and told him about Isaac's condition."If push comes to shove, prescribe him something… or get him a woman."Since Whitney was obviously bent on making it count, she would have used something with a high dosage.Furthermore, Isaac also appeared at his wit's end. Her words, however, left Zachary speechless for a long while, though he eventually said, "Okay."Irene hung up, but for some reason, could not fall asleep, ending up tossing and turning in bed for the rest of the n

It was Samantha.Before this, Lionel had come to ask Irene so that she could speak with Isaac, and to persuade him to be lenient on Ricky. Irene, however, refused to help—which meant Samantha's son was going to prison. Even if he would not be serving a long sentence, he would have a criminal record, and his career options would be limited even if he completed his studies.Naturally, she was at once annoyed and furious, and hated Irene for not helping, believing her to be callous.That was why Samantha showed up at the hospital—she would make a scene and humiliate Irene!Having gathered journalists at the scene, she dropped to her knees in her campaign to get Irene flamed—so that everyone would think of Irene as an ingrate who refused to help her brother.As she cried, she complained, "Ricky is your brother! Why do you refuse to help him?! Do you have a conscience?! He's your only brother…"She bawled so loudly that those who did not know would think that she suffered a great

Samantha tried to reach for Irene again, but Zachary stopped her and warned, "Mess around again, and I'm calling the cops!"That finally kept the woman in line.Leading Irene to his car, he asked, "What's going on here? I told you I'd help you get discharged. Why were you trying to leave early?"Irene kept her head down. "I just felt like it.""Want me to drive you home?" he asked.Irene nodded. "Okay." Neither of them spoke before they reached the mansion.When they reached the front gates and Zachary stopped his car, he hesitated for a moment before telling Irene, "I got Isaac a woman like you'd suggested last night, but he did not even touch her."Irene suddenly looked up, slightly surprised and cheering up without knowing it herself.Nonetheless, she kept her indifferent expression. "Really?"Zachary nodded. "Of course. Would I lie to you?"Irene naturally believed him.Then, as she alighted, he suddenly called out to her again. "Irene…""Yeah?" She turned around.Ho

Mrs. Watson had always been calm and composed—why was she panicking out of the blue?Irene quickly put aside her work and asked, "What's wrong, Mrs. Watson?"Mrs. Watson held out her phone in front of her. "Here, take a look."Irene glanced at the screen and saw that it was a video of the little piece of theater that Samantha put together at Central Hospital this morning. Someone has uploaded it online, but it was clipped and framed in a way that portrayed Irene as the villainess. She did not need imagination to tell who was responsible—Samantha herself had done all that this morning solely for this!With networking being as advanced as it is, it is very convenient to get someone flamed online if one is willing to pay enough for traffic. After all, netizens are rarely smart and believe whatever they see, never once trying to uncover the truth for themselves. In fact, the worst ones are so warped in world view and character that they could drive a perfectly nice person over the ed
The Runaway Groom Chapter 71
Isaac did not return home that night, but Irene thought nothing of it. Without a job, she lounged around in the mansion, taking her time to nurture her body while working part-time as an online medical consultant.Though she never left the house, she took no notice of the scandal Samantha fabricated, let alone find out how far things had gone.When Isaac did not return over the next few days, Irene decided that this was the best chance to run away, and so told Mrs. Watson, "Can you give me the check for the cleaners? I'll pick up the laundry.""Oh, I can get it for you!" Mrs. Watson suggested. "Actually, I want to leave the house for a while too." Irene smiled. "Picking up the laundry afterward is just convenient."In reality, she would leave once she picked up her laundry. As Mrs. Watson passed her the check, she looked at Mrs. Watson for a while before reaching out to give her a hug, saying, "I'm going to miss you, Mrs. Watson."Mrs. Watson laughed. "What are you on about,
