The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349

However, Irene was all too willing to receive her punishment because she admired Stephen for his exceptional ability.

Still, she only managed to clean up the storeroom around 4 p.m.

She was exhausted and did not have lunch, but she did not stop to catch her breath–she wanted to head home before midnight, and so quickly left to sort the patients‘ files.

Still, Stephen suddenly showed up at the door. “Come with me. Leave that to someone else.”

“Chief.” Irene quickly put down everything and followed.

Stephen may be uptight and demanding, but he was really trying to teach her. He would always bring her along during his surgeries, and he had her come along this time as well since the patient had an atypical medical history.

As they entered a patient’s ward, Stephen handed Irene an MRI scan. “What do you see?”

Irene started studying it when someone called out to her.

“Irene Spencer?”

She turned to find Harvey Gooding standing by the patient’s bed, and asked in surprise, “Why are you here?

“That’s my mother,” he said.

As Irene turned toward the woman lying in bed, Harvey continued, “I heard that Dr. Spencer is a specialist on heart disease, so I brought her here.”

Irene understood then, and turned back to the MRI scan. “Ventricular fibrillation and aortic stenosis, leading to heart failure. It’s potentially dangerous.”

Stephen nodded in satisfaction–her observation was quick and precise. “I suggest an operation as soon as possible,” he told the patient, “or there would be danger if this is allowed to continue.”

“What are her chances, doctor?” Harvey asked.

“Fifty–fifty.”

Harvey was clearly dissatisfied with that answer. That would be no different from flipping a coin!
