The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418

Irene woke up to the faint scent of antiseptic.

It was such a familiar scent that she immediately knew that she was in the hospital.

As she slowly opened her eyes, the lights on the ceiling were so bright that they hurt her eyes.

She closed her eyes, rested for a while before opening them again.

Mrs. Watson had Tommy in her arms. Relieved to see Irene open her eyes, she exclaimed happily, “You’re awake, ma’am!”

Irene wanted to get up, but she suddenly found herself too weak and unable to muster any strength. “The doctor said that you’re very weak and shouldn’t move. You should rest,” Mrs. Watson told her.

Irene glanced at Tommy just then and held out her hands. “Can you give Tommy to me?”

Mrs. Watson put Tommy on her bed, and Irene said, “Let me have a moment.”

Knowing that she wanted to be alone, Mrs. Watson asked, “Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

Irene had no appetite at all, and told Mrs. Watson as much.

Mrs. Watson sighed and tried to reason with Irene. “You should at least eat something–the doctor is saying that you’re fatigued. Do it for Tommy if not for yourself… I mean, can you even carry Tommy now?”

“Okay,” Irene said, giving in.

“Take your time to rest,” Mrs. Watsons said as she left the room, closing the door behind her.

“Mah–mah…” Tommy blabbed as he leaned in Irene’s arms, his little hands flapping, grabbing her hair one. moment and her clothes the next.

It was now autumn, and Mrs. Watson had dressed Tommy in the overalls Irene recently bought him–it looked adorable on him.

“Mah–mah… Mah–mah…” he repeated. His fluffy voice could melt any heart, though that was all he could manage for now.

Irene lay on her side and put a hand around him, gently caressing his little cheek.

Tommy seemed to accept it without fussing, though he was not content with lying down, and started to roll around, his little feet kicking.

With Mrs. Watson gone for a while now, Irene decided that she really was exhausted, and called Sheryl Harris, who asked instantly when she was told, “Are you sick?”

“No. I think I’m a little fatigued from work, so I can’t help Mrs. Watson take care of Tommy. She’d probably get overwhelmed.”

“Alright. Which hospital are you staying in? I’ll be right there,” Sheryl replied.

Irene told her, “Melville.”
