The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420

Irene was actually surprised that Isaac would call her first–he never did that after he went abroad twice.

Naturally, it surprised her that he would call her.

“Why…”

“Mrs. Watson told me that you were sick.”

Irene’s fingers clenched on her phone–he only called because Mrs. Watson told him that she was ill, not because he missed her?

Hanging her head, she said, “I’m fine. I just fainted from fatigue.”

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Yeah, much better. You don’t have to worry.”

“Yeah.”

Silence ensued, and it was so quiet that both could hear each other’s breathing.

Neither of them spoke, but they were not hanging up either.

Eventually, Irene broke the silence. “You must be busy. I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.”

“Yeah,” he replied.

However, neither did.

More silence.

Eventually, Isaac said, “Let’s just hang up.”

“Yeah,” Irene said, and did just that.

As she put away her phone, however, she felt unusually calm–as if all her pent–up frustrations and grief all left her.

Perhaps because she worked here, she was not repulsed by the scent of antiseptic.

As she lay down, she groggily closed her eyes.

The night was dark, and the hospital was silent aside from the occasional footsteps.

Irene was sleeping soundly when the door to her opened, but she did not sense the presence of the towering figure at the door.

He entered, pausing for a second before gently closing the door behind him, and walking straight to her bed.

He watched her sleeping soundly, lifting a brow as he wondered how she was able to sleep so soundly in a hospital.

-Unbuttoning his jacket, he lay in bed behind her, wrapping his arms around her.
