The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398

“We’ve consulted specialists, but it’s true. The doctor operating on Yvaine Lynd inadvertently snipped a vital nerve. Brain surgery always has its risks, and accidents tend to happen if it’s not the best of specialists. I’ve also made queries, and there were six doctors and interns operating on her, including Stephen Carr and Irene. They are all saying that…”

James’s voice trailed off without mentioning any names, but everyone understood.

“Maybe she was trying to save your mother,” Stan explained. “But craniotomy isn’t her specialty, and there was a mishap…”

Meanwhile, Isaac was standing before the curtain wall, keeping his back to the both of them in silence.

Naturally, neither of them dared to speak further after that, and simply stood there in silence.

After a long while, Isaac said quietly, “Both of you can go.”

James and Stan traded glances, and almost spoke at the same time, “Accidents can happen during surgery…”

“I said, you can go. Understand?” Isaac said, cutting them short.

“Yes, sir.” Both Stan and James left.

Irene quickly hid, and returned to the study after Stan and James left.

She then found Isaac resting a palm on the curtain wall, his head lowered and his back arched.

She had never seen him like that before-he was the proud and indomitable Isaac Jefferson.

He would never cringe like that, and yet he did.

He must be miserable-he had just found his mother, but she was gone again before they could acknowledge each other.

Losing her twice must be exceedingly horrific for him, and yet, she could not go to his side to comfort him now.

After all, she was the one who killed his mother-it would hurt him more to see her, would he not?

She gently closed the door to the study and returned to her bedroom, still barefooted.

It clearly was not cold, but she felt that way anyway.

She sat on the bed for the entire night, and Isaac never returned even as dawn breaks.
