The Runaway Groom

Chapter 287

When the ambulance arrived and rushed them to the hospital, Irene had to wait outside. Although she could help, she did not have a medical license and was not allowed into the examination room.

After over an hour, both Ricky and Isaac were found to only suffer minor injuries and were treated accordingly. Still, they were admitted for observation since it was a bomb.

Since they were admitted to different wards and Irene could not care for them both at the same time, she called Sheryl to help take care of Ricky.

She then called Mrs. Watson, saying, “Isaac and I won’t be home tonight. Is Tommy doing alright?”

“Yes, he’s such a good boy. Don’t worry, Mrs. Jefferson-I will take good care of him.”

Irene was naturally relieved since it was Mrs. Watson. “Okay.”

After that, she called Stan on Isaac’s phone.

She wanted to tell Stan that Isaac was unavailable and could not work for a while, and to have Stan call if something important came up. However, the instant Stan heard what she said, he promptly pressed, Why? Did something happen?”

“He’s hurt,” Irene admitted, and told him where they were.

Stan arrived in half an hour, along with Debbie, Isaac’s secretary.

Seeing her, Irene was reminded of how entranced she had been when she touched herself on Isaac’s NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

desk.

Right now, she was utterly serious-even grim-as if she was a completely different person from before.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Irene would have doubted it if someone had told her what Debbie did instead.

“How did he get hurt?” Debbie asked just then.

“Yeah, what happened here? Why did he get hurt out of the blue?” Stan quickly echoed.

“There was a bomb, and he tried to save me,” Irene said.

“A bomb?” Stan exclaimed in surprise. “How? Was it the Jeffersons-”

“No,” Irene replied. “I don’t know-we’ll have to wait until Ricky wakes up to get an answer.”

Only Ricky and Isaac knew that she had been taken to that unfinished building. Anyone else who knew where they were and plant that bomb must be the mastermind who goaded Ricky, and he probably knew

who it was.

“Ricky is involved?” Stan asked.

Irene nodded.

That was when she caught Debbie sneaking a look at Isaac. Irene stayed impassive as she said, “We don’t need that many people around here. You both should head home to get some rest.”

“I can stay to help care for Mr. Jefferson. You should rest after what happened,” Debbie said then.

“No,” Irene refused. “He’s my husband, and I should care for him. I’ll contact Stan if anything comes up.”

“Yeah. You should go,” Stan joined in.

Debbie lowered her gaze, and started to head out of the ward. “Okay.”

Still, she looked up again, seemingly to take another look at Isaac, only to find Irene staring at her instead. Composing herself instantly, she said, “See you around,”

Irene stayed quiet, and simply stared at Debbie impassively.

While it had only been a theory before, Irene was now completely sure that Debbie was in love with Isaac. “Stan, how long has Debbie been working for Isaac? Does he trust her a lot?”

“Both of us have worked for Mr. Jefferson for a while now. She’s good at her job, so Mr. Jefferson trusts her considerably.”

As Irene nodded in understanding, he asked, “Why would you ask that out of the blue?” “Nothing.” Irene replied. “Just asking since I’m not familiar with the people around Isaac.”

Stan naturally did not dwell on it, and she said, “I’ll stay here. You should go too.”

She then turned to find that Isaac had already recovered without her realizing it, and he was staring at her!
