The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 1052

Irene quickly took Lulu's hand. "I'm here. The surgery was a success—you have nothing to worry about."

"Yeah," Lulu replied, staring at Irene. "I'm very thirsty…"

Irene poured her a glass of water since Lulu had to lie down and refrain from moving, and she felt much relieved from her parched throat after having a drink.

"I'm done with my first surgery. When are you going home?" Lulu asked then.

"I'll book a plane ticket in a couple days," Irene told her.

Irene was still in a dilemma—she had to find someone reliable to take care of Lulu before she did, and she would feel ill at ease if she asked a stranger.

She wanted to ask Mrs. Watson since she trusted her, but doing so would arouse Zachary's suspicion.

Though that idea just did not seem right, there was no other option.

"You're stressing me out if you keep staying here," Lulu said feebly then.

"Don't worry and rest," Irene told her. "You're just done with your first surgery—you need to stay healthy for your second."

Lulu refused to listen. "You're stressing me out because you keep staying here. I'm concerned your husband would hate me if this drags on—that I'm really taking too much of your time."

"You worry too much," Irene said, patting her hand.

Isaac would not get upset over this, since he was not that unreasonable.

Moreover, Lulu was there to help her when Irene was in trouble before, and both of them had supported each other, giving each other their best—they were family even if they were not biologically related.

"Get some rest. Anything else can wait after tomorrow," Irene said.

Lulu was feeling tired and fell asleep soon after she closed her eyes.
