The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403

Stephen was left stunned. “You didn’t know?”

Irene laughed dryly. “Do you really think that he would still talk to me about his affairs?”

“No,” Stephen quickly said, and sighed. “Mick had an accident on his way to the airport. It was horrific- the taxi driver died on the spot, while Mick was critically injured. Luckily, help reached him in time and he survived. Still, don’t you think that it’s too much of a coincidence? Don’t you think Isaac Jefferson is behind that?”

Irene pursed her lips in silence-she would not be surprised if Isaac was, given his character.

She at least knew that much about him.

“You shouldn’t jump to conclusions without evidence,” she said coolly nonetheless. “Mick’s lucky that he survived.”

Stephen thought about it and agreed. Mick had been a dead man walking ever since Yvaine’s death, and somehow managed to survive despite the horrific accident-it seemed that it just was not his time to go.

“Well, I’ve done all I can for him,” Stephen murmured.

In fact, he had exhausted all his favors for Mick since Yvaine’s death.

Starting with staging Yvaine’s death as a surgical mishap, Melville Hospital’s reputation had taken a blow, and it was only because he had the chief’s respect and favor that he was not placed under inquiry.

In addition, in such cases, should the deceased family press charges, the doctor in charge would be taken to court. It was only because Irene was Isaac’s wife that he did not do anything to her, or she certainly would not still be working here.

“Dr. Carr?”

Harvey Gooding called out as he approached them from the walkway. Pretending not to see Irene, he spoke directly to Stephen, “I was going to get my mother discharged, but the front desk said something. about needing an agreement from you, so could you help me sign this?”

“Okay,” Stephen said as he took out the pen in his chest pocket, turning toward Irene just as he was about to sign the paper, “Are you sure the patient can be discharged?”

“Yes,” Irene replied. “She has been recovering well, and she can be allowed to return home.”

As Irene was the one who operated on Harvey’s mother, Stephen should ask for her opinion.
