Semua Bab The Runaway Groom: Bab 741 - Bab 750

Irene was still staring at the diagnosis report as she murmured softly, "How could this be…?" So, Dennis was in a hurry to retire… because of his condition?She was a heart surgeon who had been researching artificial hearts and knew best when it comes to heart conditions.While Dennis's malignant arrhythmia sounded less scary than heart failure, it was dangerous regardless!Arrhythmia—especially malignant cases—posed danger because it meant the distortion of the heart's regular rhythm, causing it to beat irregularly or just stop abruptly. Patients might suddenly lose consciousness out of the blue and faint, which required emergency resuscitation right away or it would mean death! And judging from the diagnosis data, Dennis's condition was very serious. Benign cases or early discovery might be curable, but it was not the case for Dennis—all he could do was control the symptoms to control the symptoms. But should the worst strike…Irene found it ironic that Dennis would have

The letter read: [Dear Irene, I will be leaving. Don't come looking for me—I'm an adult who can take care of myself.][I'm sure this letter would surprise you, but I have to tell you that I've thought this through.][I've actually heeded your advice, and I found it to be true. I've also read that chasing after butterflies never work—one should instead plant flowers to draw it to you, and it was more or less the same as what you said: be successful, and draw that butterfly I love to me.][I don't know if I would actually make it, but I just wanted to tell you that I'm determined to make something for myself, and I won't be coming back before I succeed.] [I know that I would have a better chance if I stayed with you, especially with my brother-in-law's help—but I don't want to be helped. I want to see how far I can go myself, if I'm a person who has what it takes to build something for himself.][I just might be too ashamed to return if I fail, but you have nothing to worry about

Irene was puzzled to see Erin Gooding in the children's boutique, holding a pink baby jumper and finding it pretty.She admired it for a while, and was surprised to see Irene standing at the doorway when she put it down. "Hey, sis! What are you doing here? Getting some clothes for the children?"Irene entered. "I was just passing by, so I came in."Erin actually thought that she came expressly. "I see…" "I'll buy some if I find something that suits them, though," Irene added.Erin started to help eagerly right then, picking several that fit Irene's second son. "I think these look good."Irene liked them too—Erin certainly had good taste.Hesitating for a moment, Irene then asked, "Are you here alone?"Erin lowered her head and murmured softly, "Yeah.""Are you pregnant?" Irene asked tentatively."...Yeah."Irene smiled. "Congratulations."Still, Erin appeared unhappy. "I want to marry, but James says that he's busy and we can only get registered. I want a wedding and ge

No one arrived at the conference room punctually, but Irene was not puzzled.She would be if they actually came on time without trying to mess around.That was when the door to her office suddenly opened, and Finn entered, wheezing, "It's done."He barely made it."Good work. You can take a break now," Irene told him. "Just bring the stuff to the conference room when I text you.""Okay," Finn nodded, but turned around just as she was about to leave. "By the way, when are you going to forgive me? I really don't want to be your assistant—I mean, I don't mind how difficult my work gets, because I won't complain. You, on the other hand, are just making me run personal errands for you."Irene put down the document she was holding. "Patience. Your time will come.""When?" Finn pressed.Irene simply glanced at the clock on the wall. "Just take a break for now. The meeting is starting soon.""Meeting?!" Finn exclaimed coolly. "What meeting are you talking about? Meeting yourself? I wa

Erin Gooding poked her head into the door, and sensing that she had been intruding, she apologized. "Sorry. I was looking for…"She turned toward Irene, who caught the look and glanced at the time. "Ten minutes," she said.Erin nodded in response and closed the door, standing outside as she waited.Soon, people filed out of the meeting room, with Irene the last to exit, carrying stacks of papers in her arms."Is something up?" Irene asked.Erin nodded, so she said, "Let me return these to my office first."Erin waited once more as she did, and once Irene stepped out this time, she came up to Irene with a smile. "James called me, telling me to pick the date. I think I should return to Minerva to tell my father too.""As you should." Irene agreed—getting married was a big deal, and Erin should tell her father about it. "Your work is really busy, huh? You must not have had dinner since that meeting lasted for a while, right? It's my treat."Though Irene was going to head hom
