The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1013

Irene did not manage to find Isaac's ward from the receptionist, so she had to talk to the doctor.

She headed to the VIP ward on the top floor and ran into Stan, who was speaking to the attending physician.

"Stan," she called out to him.

Stan turned toward her and was left gaping when she saw that it was her.

"M-Ma'am!" he exclaimed as he hurried to her. "What are you doing here?"

Irene smiled. "Can't I come?"

Stan quickly shook his head. "No, it's just quite sudden. Why didn't you call?"

Irene raised a brow. "Did I come at a bad time?"

Stan shook his head again. "No…"

Irene simply strode past him toward the doctor—Isaac never did tell her about his condition, and she naturally should find out first.

"Excuse me, but when are Mr. Jefferson's eyes expected to recover?"

The doctor stared at her in turn. "And you are…?"

"His wife," Irene replied.

"Oh!" the doctor exclaimed, coming to an understanding just then. "You were the one who contacted me at the time."

"Yes." Irene nodded.

"Anyway, the patient is expected to be discharged in under a month," the doctor told her.

"Thank you," Irene replied.

For her, it did not matter if it took a while, as long as Isaac could see again.

The doctor was busy, so he excused himself after informing her about some matters to take note of.

Irene turned toward Stan, who smiled awkwardly as she approached her. "Mrs. Jefferson…"

Isaac did not want her around because he was worried she would be in danger, and so that she did not have to see his miserable state.

Irene knew that Isaac had his own misgivings, but they were married—she loved him no matter what state he was in.

"Take me to his ward," she said.

"Should I tell him first?" Stan asked in return.
