The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 246

The Runaway Groom Chapter 246

Irene was naturally relieved to have Isaac’s men standing guard.

She headed to the elevator, when Ricky happened to arrive, appearing tense. “Where’s Tommy? Is he better now? Can I visit him?”

Irene calmly studied Ricky’s face, intending to find a tell and perceive if his anxiety was feigned.

However, he appeared to be too good an actor–she found nothing!

“Come with me, Ricky.” She entered the elevator and

pressed the button to head downstairs.

“Is there something you need?” Ricky asked.

“Yeah,” Irene answered quickly.

“What is it?”

“I’ll tell you later,” Irene replied.

“Okay.” Ricky did not say anything else.

When the elevator stopped, Irene left the elevator first

and headed straight to the parking lot behind the hospital, leading Ricky there.

“Irene? Why did you take me here?” Ricky asked,

uncertain.

Irene ensured that there was no one around before she answered him. “I have a question–are you sure my mother told you that Tommy was sick?”

Ricky didn’t expect that from her and it showed on his face, but he quickly composed himself. “Y–Yeah.”

He was too young, and his poker -face was lacking as Irene stared into his eyes, he nervously averted his gaze.

“I had my mom promise not to tell anyone that Tommy’s sick–especially you. I know her, and she always keeps her promise. Not to mention, she has even less reason to tell you because it concerns Tommy.”

“S–So what?” Ricky forced a smile.

“I didn’t do anything! Really!” Ricky was still trying to deny it as vehemently as he could.

That was when Irene suddenly whipped out a scalpel and pressed it against his chest. “I’m a doctor, and I can reach your heart with pinpoint position. Don’t think that this scalpel is too small to inflict any damage–I can ensure that you bleed out with just a little push, even if the

hospital is right here!”

She was naturally prepared when she called Ricky out here

it was the reason why she brought him out here alone

in the first place.

Ricky was petrified. “S–Stop…!”

“Are you going to talk now?” Irene pressed.

Seeing that the cat was out of the bag, Ricky cried, “I–I

didn’t want to do it… Believe me…!”
