The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117

Ricky addressed Irene as ‘Sis’ the instant he stepped through the front door, but Irene remained impassive, and was certainly unaffected by that title.

“Why did you want to see me?”

“You’re a doctor, aren’t you? You must know people,” Ricky said tearfully. “You have to ask them to help Dad. His condition is very serious, and he won’t survive for long if he doesn’t get surgery.”

The usually haughty boy appeared despondent, just as Irene stiffened.

She had a hunch, but it still struck her like a truck to find out that it was reality.

“What did his doctor say? What’s his condition?” she asked quietly.

“Malignant brain cancer. It’s metastasized to his lungs,” Ricky replied.

Irene was stunned. “W-What?”

“You have to get him the best doctors, Sis. There might still be hope,” Ricky cried anxiously.

Irene, however, knew that the cancer had advanced to a very late stage if it had actually begun to metastasize, and not even surgery could help much.

As she became silent, Ricky demanded, “What, are you going to do nothing?’

Irene simply needed time to calm down. “Go home for now.”

However, Ricky thought that her reaction meant she was still holding a grudge against Lionel, and therefore indifferent.

“He may have been a little overbearing about your marriage, but he’s your father. He’s sick and almost dying now-are you so cold that you won’t help?”

“Won’t help?” Irene coolly said. “What do you take me for, some sort of god? His cancer is in its late stage-no one can help him!”

”

Ricky promptly lost it and screamed, “You heartless bitch! You’ll get your just deserts!

Irene, however, was unmoved. “That would be my own issue. Why are you getting upset?”

“I’m upset because you’re an ingrate! You won’t be here if not for Dad

Nearby, Isaac frowned. Did the boy forget that he was here, yelling at Irene right in front of him?

With a quick gesture, his men dragged Ricky out of the mansion, and Irene did not stop them, watching as Ricky continued to scream murder at her even as he was taken away.

However, once he was out of sight, she grimaced in misery.
