The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394

Irene forced herself to stay calm. “I’ll resuscitate the patient.”

“It won’t work.” Stephen said-he knew from the start that the surgery itself was almost hopeless.

In fact, he called in Irene because he had his own agenda.

“You never know until you try!” Irene snapped, ignoring him and pressing her full weight on Layla’s ribs, pumping as hard as she could.

It was taxing, and she was soon sweating buckets.

Even though beads of sweat as large as peas trickled off her hair and rained over Layla’s face, she did not give up.

“I’ll save her! I won’t let her die!”

As there was still no response on the ECG, she tried the defibrillators next.

Although Layla’s body rose inches into the air from the jolt, it landed heavily soon after, and there was still no response.

“Vitals lost,” someone said.

frene flipped out right then. “Who was that?!”

She would save Layla whatever it took-that was the only thought on Irene’s mind, because Layla was Isaac’s only family and she mattered to him.

However, even as Irene continued with defibrillation, Layla’s body only moved in response to the jolt, but her vitals were not recovering at all.

Eventually, Stephen stopped her futile efforts. “It’s been half an hour. It’s the same even if you keep going…

Irene’s eyes were red. “How did this happen? How?!”

Stephen actually averted his eyes, and turned toward everyone else, gesturing for them to leave.

Irene was not aware, but everyone there was loyal to him.

After all, he had instructed many interns, and it was no issue finding a handful whom he could trust..

What?!

At that very moment, she realized that she had worshiped the wrong person.

“I know that you’ll no longer respect me after I ask this,” Stephen sighed. “But if you don’t do it, neither Mick nor myself will survive this.”

Irene’s lips curled up in a cold smile, and she rasped, “Did you think Isaac will spare Mick just because I announced that I killed her? You don’t know the man.”

“Actually, I do,” Stephen replied quietly. “As a citizen of Cloud City, it’s inevitable that I’d hear a thing or two-that’s exactly why I’m asking for your help.”

Irene was left at a loss of words. “So, you knew there’s no saving her, and you called me here to become your scapegoat?”

“Yes,” Stephen admitted, looking her in the eye as he said so. “I know it’s out of line and absolutely terrible. for you, but there’s no other choice. This is the only way I can save Mick-he’s genuinely in love with Yvaine, and he was the one who carried her to me. She was barely alive, and he begged me to save her. Her injury was so extensive even needed a kidney transplant, and he did not hesitate to give his kidney to her.”

“Miraculously, they were a match. Mick is the reason Yvaine survived this long, and I don’t want him to suffer Isaac Jefferson’s wrath because of this. Yes, there might’ve been hope to turn things around if Yvaine survived, but she’s dead, and there’s no doubt that Isaac will blame Mick after he made her lose. her memories. It’s not to mention that the inhibitor chip was exactly why she died anyway.”

“But you’re different. You’re Isaac’s wife, and if you claimed that it was a mishap in the surgical process and not the chip, he wouldn’t be that eager for reprisals.”
