The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1047

Lulu's gaze was evasive but calm in an instant, her voice frail. "I asked them not to call you, but they did anyway."

Irene was calm and did not show any misery at all.

Lulu was already in this state—she would not be able to calm down and focus on getting better if Irene showed her misery too.

Irene took Lulu's hand, noticing the many punctures over the skin which were definitely left from needles, leaving bruising everywhere.

She was afraid to hold Lulu too firmly, in fear that it would hurt Lulu.

Lowering her gaze to stop Lulu from seeing the pain in her eyes, she asked, "If they never called me, were you going to keep suffering like this alone?"

Lulu pursed her lips. "I just don't want to upset you!"

Irene could not hold back then. "You're still concerned that I'd worry after this happened to you?"

Before Lulu could say anything, Irene continued, "I've already told them that I'm taking you away. I'll get you a good doctor, and I know many of them. They'll definitely make you better—"

"Forget it," Lulu said flatly. "I know my condition, and there's no healing the heart even if I'm physically better. Why bother?"

"Cut that out," Irene snapped quietly. "Don't give up on yourself. You have a daughter!"

"Daughter…" Lulu's eyes lit up, though it dulled soon after.
