Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 531 - Bab 540

[You don't have to know who I am. Just know that Ember Lindt suspects you, and you really shouldn't let her stay at large or there's going to be problems.]It was as if the sender had seen everything that happened with their own eyes… Perhaps they were right there!Debbie quickly looked around and quickly spotted a person dressed in a black trench coat and a baseball cap on the second floor walkway. Seemingly sensing her gaze, the person quickly turned to leave.Debbie gave chase, but they were already gone when she reached the second floor. However, she was not giving up just yet—she quickly looked around to find the person when her phone jingled again.[Don't try to look for me, or I'll tell Isaac Jefferson that you tried to kill James Cross.]Debbie panicked—who were they? How did they know about Isaac?She quickly sent a reply.[What do you want?][To help you.]Debbie scowled. [Do you take me for a fool? You were threatening me a moment ago.][You can ignore what I sa

Dr. Wagner and Zachary were close, and so the former easily agreed to the surgery on short notice.But things appeared ominous at the moment."Well, he's safe and breathing…"Debbie panicked right then and dropped her phone, its screen shattering with a loud crack!Ember glanced at her, but while she felt that Debbie was obviously acting suspicious, Zachary thought that Debbie was just thrilled. "Don't worry. James is safe now."Debbie kept her head down to hide her reaction. "I'm just so happy…"Dr. Wagner suddenly said, "May I finish?" "What's wrong? Didn't you say he's saved?" Zachary asked."He's breathing, but…" Dr. Wagner was looking Zachary in the eye, but soon sighed. "I've done my best."Zachary sensed something ominous. "What is it?""He's in a vegetative state…""What?" Zachary exclaimed in fear and disbelief. It was a terrible outcome—the only difference between a person in a vegetative state and a dead person was their breathing!"We did what we could," Dr.

Ember had a look of utter contempt. "You keep insisting that you are close with Mr. Cross, but you're in such a hurry to leave him already? You hardly look like you're mourning, too—are you really a friend to Mr. Cross as you kept claiming?"Debbie narrowed her eyes at Ember for seconds, but ultimately kept quiet and strode off, bearing with her snide remarks.After all, she knew that arguing or explaining would never work with Ember—the best option was to silence her permanently! On the other hand, Ember appeared disgruntled, but Zachary put a hand on her arm before she could, and even spoke on Debbie's behalf. "Ember, everyone including Debbie is hurting after what happened to James. She can come off as cold, but that comes with working with Isaac—it's not as if she doesn't care, but she's just that good at hiding her feelings."Ember appeared a little jealous that Zachary knew Debbie so well. "You seem to know everything about her… But I still think that she's up to no good."

This time, Irene was denied food and water from her cell, and she could occasionally hear a baby's tormented cries.She curled into herself, clutching her belly whenever she heard it, fearful that the same would happen to her own child. She had no idea how long she was kept in that dark cell, which seemed to transcend beyond space and light.At first, she knocked on her door to get a response, but her answer was silence.Eventually deciding that it was pointless, she simply gave up and idled to save her strength. As more time passed, thirst and hunger seized her, and she yearned to see the light again."Who can save me?"As she curled into herself at a corner of the wall, her thoughts soon became a mess and she started hallucinating.She started to tremble whenever she heard the baby's cries now.…Over at Duran, Isaac met Auric at a 7-star hotel.The venue was grand beyond description, and the furnishings within were just as extravagant. Crystals, velour, red velvet, and

Erin Gooding strode into the room. "Did you just say James Cross? He's a vegetable?"Erin was Mick's adopted daughter, and Stephen naturally knew her.However, he had no idea what got her so agitated…"You know James?" he asked.Mick was watching Erin too—was there something between her and James that he did not know?Erin hastily explained, "I met him when I was trying to ask Isaac Jefferson where my mother was buried.""Oh, I see." Stephen thought nothing of it.On the other hand, Mick knew his daughter—if she and James were mere acquaintances, she would not get so agitated after learning that James fell into a vegetative state. Breathing a sigh, he thought to himself that his child was an adult now, and it was time she left the nest."You should go visit him."Erin was actually surprised by Mick's words. "Dad…?""Go!" Mick waved her off. "Just don't forget your way home."Erin bit her lip. "Thanks, Dad."With that, she ran into her room to pack her bags.Stephen was a
