Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 431 - Bab 440

Isaac noticed that Irene was going to make a move.And just as he spoke, Irene somehow managed to shake off the two goons restraining her and started running toward the river!Isaac's face fell and he gave chase right then.He managed to catch her by the wrist and firmly pulled. As she fell into his arms, he quietly told him, "Just stop…"Irene shook her head in despair. "I don't want you to get hurt because of me."She had lost all hope when Isaac said that he was only being nice to her because of Tommy. Still, she did not want him to be coerced by Ian because of herself, and decided to do one last thing for him.After all, he was the only man she had ever loved! Seeing that they were both together, Ian remembered his dead mother and crippled father right then, and promptly pressed the detonator he was holding, intent on blowing them both up.Irene, however, sensed it before he could, and bit Isaac's arm as hard as she could. The pain made him release her ever so slightly, an

James sighed and said feebly, "Everyone, please leave."Given the circumstances, it was ideal to let him calm down right now.As all the doctors filed out of the room, Stephen remained afraid to talk to Isaac, and so told James instead, "We really shouldn't leave the body there. It needs to be sent to the morgue soon."James certainly understood and agreed, or Isaac would never leave this room."I'll try my best," he told Stephen.Stephen lowered his gaze. "Sorry for all the trouble."James actually thought that this was what he was supposed to do anyway… How was it any trouble?Meanwhile, Isaac was standing alone in front of the surgical table after chasing everyone out. Everything around him seemed to turn still, and it looked as if he was alone in the world!Hours passed, and he never stepped out even though it was already nighttime. Outside, James was beside himself with worry, but he did not dare to go in.Stan arrived just then and asked, "How happened?"James's eye

The patient on the bed was burned from her right cheek down to her neck. Although it had been bandaged and medicated, the gruesome carnage underneath could not be concealed.Unlike incisions or lacerations, burn scars remain because the dead skin cells would linger. While grafting and plastic surgery were advanced enough to restore Irene's face completely, the problem was that she was pregnant right now. She must get an abortion for the antibiotics necessary for surgeries, and even if she did not, it would lead to defects in fetal development or a miscarriage.Stephen tried to reason with her, saying, "You can have another baby…"Irene was staring blankly up at the white, fluorescent lights that were dizzying, and closed her eyes. "No. There's a reason I survived that explosion… Maybe it's someone up there intent on having me keep my baby."In the instant she was falling into the river, she somehow slipped out of the explosive vest, which only detonated after she dropped unde

Nonetheless, James hurried to Isaac's side. "Sir."Isaac glanced at him briefly and asked, "Did you find a place?""Yes, sir," James replied. "We can use it in a couple days.""Good." Isaac remained impassive. At the same time, James turned toward the man with them, who was dressed formally over his exceedingly fair skin. Also, there was something shady about that face even though he clearly appeared solemn."Sir, who is this gentleman?"Isaac did not answer, and instead headed straight inside the operating room with the man. James followed, curious.The man first put down his box and opened it, taking out a pair of gloves and wearing it before pulling off the sheet placed over Irene's head.He frowned when he saw the face. "...I don't think I can do anything here. Burn scars only regenerate on living tissue, but if she's dead, I can't restore her face."In reality, he was the best mortician Isaac had found to reconstruct cadavers so that they would look their best before t

Ricky tried to free himself from Stan, but the other man kept a vice-like grip on his hand to stop him from running. Even so, Ricky protested. "No. I'd never agree to that—there's no way I can do it anyway. Just let me go!"Stan told him as politely as he could, "You're the best man for the job.""What do you mean I'm the best man for the job? Do you think Sheryl wouldn't be devastated if I were the one who told her?! I won't be the villain here! I refuse!"To Ricky, Stan might as well have been telling him the worst joke ever.Even if his mother had been at odds with Sheryl and Irene, there was no doubt that his mother had done more than her fair share of mistakes.And after he spent a lot of time with Sheryl and Irene, he could feel that they were generally kind, and long since considered them family. Sheryl had since become a mother figure as well… but if he told her that Irene was dead, she would die weeping!"Can't we hide it?" Ricky certainly believed that silence was the
