The Runaway Groom

Chapter 245

Ricky was the caller. He asked, “I heard Tommy’s sick. Is he better now?”

Irene did her best to pretend that she never found out, and instead asked calmly, “Who told you that Tommy is sick?“! Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Sheryl told me,” Ricky replied.

“My mom?” Irene exclaimed in feigned surprise, setting

her bait.

Ricky naturally took the bait, and pressed, “What happened to Tommy?”

Irene’s gaze turned cool and vicious. She had believed

that Ricky was different from Samantha, and so had done her best to encourage him, caring for him and making him feel like family.

Yet…

“Yeah,” she finally said.

“Is it serious?” Ricky asked worriedly.

“He’s been admitted. You can come by to check on him if

you’re worried,” Irene told him.

“Alright, which hospital is it? I’ll be right there.”

Irene gave him a location before hanging up and calling Isaac.

“Hello?”

“It’s me. Can you send me some well–trained bodyguards?”

Isaac grew tense right there and then. “What happened?”

“Can you send them?” Irene refrained from mentioning Tommy.

She didn’t want to keep it from Isaac, but this was a matter that concerned her family.

If it really was Ricky, Isaac would show now mercy if he found out–just as Irene wouldn’t!

“Of course,” Isaac replied.

Irene gave him the address and hung up.

On the other end, Isaac thought he smelled something, fishy. Irene wouldn’t ask for protection for no reason.

After pondering for a while, he paged Debbie the

secretary. “Ask Jimmy to come to my office.”

“Yes, Mr. Jefferson.” Debbie did so soon after he hung up,

and Jimmy the chauffeur arrived at Isaac’s office in no

time at all.

“Did Irene go anywhere after you took her to the Spencer

Mansion?” Isaac asked.

“She headed to the hospital since there wasn’t anyone home,” Jimmy replied.

Isaac raised a brow, sensing a foreboding feeling…

Meanwhile, Iren had been waiting for half an hour at the hospital when Isaac’s men arrived–there were five of them, and they all appeared well–trained.

However, Irene asked for them not to beat up Ricky, but

to protect Tommy instead.

“Please stay here and keep watch. No one is allowed to

enter this ward without my permission,” she told them.

“Of course, ma’am. Mr. Jefferson himself told us to follow

any orders from you before we came. Just say the word.”

Irene smiled begrudgingly. “I have none–I just hope

that you can keep my baby safe.”

Having made the arrangements there, Irene left the

ward.
