The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245

Ricky was the caller. He asked, "I heard Tommy’s sick. Is he better now?"

Irene did her best to pretend that she never found out, and instead asked calmly, "Who told you that Tommy is sick?"

"Sheryl told me," Ricky replied.

"My mom?" Irene exclaimed in feigned surprise, setting her bait.

Ricky naturally took the bait, and pressed, "What happened to Tommy?"

Irene's gaze turned cool and vicious. She had believed that Ricky was different from Samantha, and so had done her best to encourage him, caring for him and making him feel like family.

Yet...

"Yeah," she finally said.

"Is it serious?" Ricky asked worriedly.

"He's been admitted. You can come by to check on him if you're worried," Irene told him.

"Alright, which hospital is it? I'll be right there."

Irene gave him a location before hanging up and calling Isaac.

"Hello?"

"It's me. Can you send me some well-trained bodyguards?"

Isaac grew tense right there and then. "What happened?"

"She headed to the hospital since there wasn't anyone home," Jimmy replied.

Isaac raised a brow, sensing a foreboding feeling...

Meanwhile, Iren had been waiting for half an hour at the hospital when Isaac's men arrived—there were five of them, and they all appeared well-trained.

However, Irene asked for them not to beat up Ricky, but to protect Tommy instead.

"Please stay here and keep watch. No one is allowed to enter this ward without my permission," she told them.

"Of course, ma'am. Mr. Jefferson himself told us to follow any orders from you before we came. Just say the word."

Irene smiled begrudgingly. "I have none—I just hope that you can keep my baby safe."

Having made the arrangements there, Irene left the ward.
