The Runaway Groom Chapter 113
As Irene hung her head, Stan said, "Please pack her belongings, Mrs. Watson."Despite what Stan said, Mrs. Watson just had to pick up Irene's laundry and nothing else. After she was done, Stan brought a wheelchair, and Mrs. Watson helped Irene to get on it.With the men he brought, it looked as if Stan was afraid she would run away, and the overkill was enough for Mrs. Watson to tell that something was wrong. "Did you upset your husband again, Mrs. Jefferson?"Irene said nothing."Why?" Mrs. Watson simply could not understand, and disliked that about her. Irene could get along with Isaac and have a blissful married life with him. How many women would die for that?!"Because—"Before Irene could finish, however, they watched as Stan stomped on the rose bouquet Harvey sent, leaving an utter mess before telling Irene, "Mr. Jefferson's orders."Irene remained impassive—she did not really like those roses anyway."Do whatever you want," she said flatly. "Was that from the man

The doctor did not answer immediately, and instead asked, "Is your family with you?"Samantha, who had been standing at a corner, promptly replied, "I'm his wife."Like any other human being, Samantha yearned dearly for the one thing she lacked. While she was just a mistress, she certainly would never miss a chance to introduce herself as Mrs. Spencer out in the open!"Is my husband alright, doctor?" she asked then."No, there's no need for worry," the doctor replied. "Anyway, I'll be writing a receipt for you, Mr. Spencer. There's another test you should take."After writing on a piece of paper and passing it to Lionel Spencer, the doctor said, "You can go now. Your wife can stay."Lionel, however, could tell that the doctor was trying to send him out of the room. "Just be honest with me, doctor," he said. "There's no need to hide anything from me. I'm prepared for the worst."The doctor stayed awkwardly silent for a moment, and said, "Very well."He read through the reports a

However, Irene did not feel anything toward Harvey's predicament—the man had come up with that plan himself. He should have been prepared to fight Isaac when he did. He was not, however, and he could only blame his own stupidity for his losses."That's your darling, right there. Don't you have anything to say?" Isaac asked as he stared at Irene's face, looking for a reaction—he naturally did not take Harvey's explanation at face value.Irene was completely nonchalant, and he knew right then that Harvey was mostly telling the truth. After all, if she was really in love, there was no way she would not get worried about Harvey. Her nonchalance just meant that she did not care!But even if that had been an act, it was reality that she wanted to divorce him!Was she really that obsessed with leaving him? "Why are you so insistent on a divorce, Irene Spencer?" he asked directly with a dark look.Irene rolled her eyes. "You know that I'm with Harvey—""He already told me that it's a

"L-Let go…" Irene whispered even as she struggled. Isaac did not, however, and held her soft hand in his palm as he leaned in to kiss her lips.Irene would have usually resisted, but she was weirdly silent and did not push him away this time.In fact, she closed her eyes, quietly feeling the breath of another person and her heart racing as a result! His kiss was passionate, endless and enrapturing. One could not help being captivated by it! Since it was the first time she was being so docile, Isaac wanted more than kisses, and began to reach deeper to conquer her.His fingertips brushed past her collarbone, loosening her collar and sliding off her straps. Irene finally regained her senses from his dizzying kiss when she felt the sudden coldness over her chest, and realizing what he was doing, evaded him in panic. "Stop!"Isaac's gaze appeared clouded. "You enjoyed that too, didn't you?""No, I didn't." Irene denied it."Really?" Isaac brushed a finger over her lips that was

Ricky addressed Irene as 'Sis' the instant he stepped through the front door, but Irene remained impassive, and was certainly unaffected by that title. "Why did you want to see me?""You're a doctor, aren't you? You must know people," Ricky said tearfully. "You have to ask them to help Dad. His condition is very serious, and he won't survive for long if he doesn't get surgery."The usually haughty boy appeared despondent, just as Irene stiffened.She had a hunch, but it still struck her like a truck to find out that it was reality. "What did his doctor say? What's his condition?" she asked quietly."Malignant brain cancer. It's metastasized to his lungs," Ricky replied.Irene was stunned. "W-What?""You have to get him the best doctors, Sis. There might still be hope," Ricky cried anxiously.Irene, however, knew that the cancer had advanced to a very late stage if it had actually begun to metastasize, and not even surgery could help much.As she became silent, Ricky demande

"Yes, there isn't a limit," the cashier repeated, and explained, "The spending limit of Centurion Cards is upward of a billion."As a matter of fact, only the super-rich could afford the set of china Irene had picked.Being an employee there, the cashier had naturally met many such individuals, and more or less understood the way things worked among the upper-class. On the other hand, Irene was dumbstruck, but she soon remembered Isaac's words. "You can buy anything you want."She finally understood that now… but how could she bear to accept so much money from him?Meanwhile, the cashier had already gift-wrapped the tea set, and Mrs. Watson walked up to carry it for Irene. "Your card, ma'am." The cashier then returned the card, holding it with both hands once more.As Irene took it, she suddenly found it so heavy she would drop it—but it was just a card.She thought Isaac was joking when he told her that she loved her, and did not take it seriously. But why would he give

Irene returned to the mansion after leaving Dr. Kelly's house, and she nestled on the couch, spacing out. She was wondering if she should tell Sheryl about Lionel. After all, they did live under one roof over two decades as spouses. In fact, she felt that Sheryl had a right to know. As she took her phone from her pocket to make the call, it started to vibrate.It was a video from Sheryl, along with two text messages. In the video, Tommy was wearing a onesie. His hair had grown out with a healthy black hue, and his little eyes were darting everywhere as he looked around—an adorable sight.[Tommy is a month old now, and almost nine pounds. Don't you think he looks chubbier?][Just look at him. He really takes after you!]A while ago, Irene already contacted Sheryl and told her that Isaac had taken her from Harvey's custody, meaning that they still could not meet for the moment.Now, she told Sheryl that she was doing well and asked Sheryl to take good care of Tommy. Not

Ricky stammered, "I-I thought you're not going to help? Why are you here?!"Irene remained cold as ever. "To remove my plaster cast.""Hah! I knew you were an ingrate!" Ricky snapped indignantly—she would always be this cold, even though their father was asking to see her from his deathbed!"Mrs. Jefferson has done all she can!" Mrs. Watson snapped. "She even consulted—""Mrs. Watson," Irene called out to her, cutting her short.She did not have to explain her actions to anyone, let alone Samantha's son! Ricky could think whatever he wanted, and she was not obligated to find out or care. Still, Lionel must have heard them in his ward, and called out, "Irene?'Irene pursed her lips. "Yeah, it's me.""Come in. I have something to say."Irene was reluctant, and simply said, "You just take care of yourself.""Irene!" Lionel's tone turned forceful just then. "Do I have to get out of my bed?" "Stop it, Dad. She must have fed her conscience to the dogs," Ricky snapped."Watch
