The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

Anything goes, as long as it appeases Isaac.

“Well, has Dr. Kyle agreed to work as Tommy’s attending physician?” Irene asked.

“No,” Isaac replied.

In fact, Peter Kyle did not appear attracted by any offer, no matter how much money he was promised. It seems that ambitions are just like Zachary’s and Irene’s, though he promised to come immediately should Tommy fall sick again.

Zachary recommended Dr. Kyle because he had come into the country to further his career -to be precise, his girlfriend was local, and he decided to take up a career here to stay with her. Anyway, someone as talented as him was bound to find success anywhere he

went.

Dr. Kyle’s reason for not working as Tommy’s attending physician was because he has to help other children as well–such was his obligation and compassion as a doctor.

Irene was sure most doctors shared that compassion, and wasn’t surprised by Peter’s

response.

Bzzt-

Irene’s phone suddenly started to ring, and she answered it outside.

It was Miss Lang. “I need a favor.”

“What is it?”

“There will be a dance competition held in the city’s sports complex. I’ve been picked as a judge, but I had something come up so I can’t attend. I was thinking you can take my place.

Irene quickly refused. “I don’t think I could.”

“Why not?”

Irene said, “I don’t have the qualifications for one, and I’m quite busy at the moment.”

“It won’t take that long,” Miss Lang pointed out, “It’s just one afternoon, so please help me

out here.”

Irene glanced at Tommy, who was lying in his crib. She couldn’t say yes to Miss Lang’s request because she hadn’t really taken good care of Tommy. Now that she had plenty of time to do it, she didn’t want to do anything else. “I’m sorry, but I really don’t have any time to spare…”

“Oh, I guess I should come clean–Robin Lynd actually asked for you. She’s quite keen to have you adjudicate.”
