The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437

While Stephen was too nervous to speak, the hospital chief gave him a look that said he knew everything, and rebuked him from the very start, “What do you take this hospital home for, your backyard? A place where you can do anything you like?!”

He had been lenient toward Stephen after the drama with Mick Gooding before, but warned him that nothing like that could be allowed to happen again.

This time, Stephen was caught abusing his authority again to help Irene.

Even if it was the right thing to do, he was committing a serious crime by helping her fake her death, even using someone else’s body in replacement!

“I’m sorry…”

“I don’t need apologies. I’m not playing along this time. I’ll send someone to inform-”

“Sir.” Irene got to her feet despite much difficulty.

Stephen moved up to help her stand. “You’re still hurt…”

Even so, Irene kept her eyes fixed on the hospital chief. “I asked him to help me. Blame me if you want, but I hope I have your forgiveness this one time.”

The chief frowned even as he stared at Irene’s face. It would not be a far cry to compare her to Helen of Troy before, but now…

“Your face…”

“It isn’t serious,” Irene replied. “I may be disfigured, but I’m alive. Sir, could you please let it go this one time? Seeing that I’ve never made mistakes since I started working here, and have always given it my all?”

The hospital chief actually felt guilty as he watched her face, and eventually heaved a lengthy sigh. “Fine, pretend I was never here and that I don’t know a thing. But this must be the last time this happens, or both of you are out of there!”

While his tone and words were stern, he actually did not press the tissue and turned to leave the room.

Stephen heaved a long sigh after he was gone. “Thank goodness he spared us.”

“Sorry for bringing you into this,” Irene said guiltily.

“It’s just a little tit for tat. I’ve caused so much trouble for you before, haven’t I? You really saved me with Mick,” Stephen told her.

Irene tried to smile, but it stung as she tried to move her burned cheek.

“Alright, just rest for now, and don’t say a word. I’ll transport you away from this hospital tonight.”

Irene nodded, still feeling guilty toward Stephen as if she was exploiting him.
