The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404

“…Don’t ever come back,” Harvey finished.

Irene was actually left stumped for a moment, and chuckled in amusement when she realized what he was talking about. “Do you think everyone is as childish as you are?”

“Me? Childish? How so?” Harvey protested, standing at her side and giving her a nudge with his elbow.

Irene simply sidestepped and pulled away, while telling Rosa, “You’re recovering well, so there’s nothing to worry about-don’t burden yourself over it.”

After all, people tend to get paranoid after heart surgeries, convinced that their hearts are now fragile and that they could die at any moment.

However, the truth is that the human heart is the strongest and most resilient of human organs-it never stops beating the instant formed in the fetus.

Harvey pursed his lips just then. “Why are you running? I’m not going to hurt you.”

Irene pretended not to hear him since she did not want to argue. “You may be discharged now.”

With that, she turned and left Rosa’s ward, while Harvey quickly told Rosa, “She’s a friend. I’m going to say goodbye.”

Rosa nodded.

She could tell from the way Harvey tried to get closer to Irene that he liked Irene, and could not help sighing as he left.

“Hey, could you not be so cold?” Harvey asked Irene as he followed her out of Irene’s ward.

“I still have work to do. Don’t bother me,” she said, never pausing in her tracks.

“Is your heart made of stone? Are you even human?” he huffed, but Irene pretended not to hear him.

“Stop,” Harvey called out, chasing her down and catching her by the wrist. “Why are you being so cold to me?”

Irene did not like him touching her, and shook him off firmly-the recoil sent herself stumbling backward.

Moreover, her health has deteriorated since she had not been sleeping or eating well over the last few days, and she almost lost her balance, but Harvey caught her in time.

“What’s wrong? Are you sick?” he asked in concern.
