The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490

Isaac's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden commotion.

"Stop!"

It was one of the asylum patients, but the doctors and staff managed to subdue him soon enough.

After that, Isaac left to interrogate the personnel who assisted Stephen when he operated on Irene.

Although Stephen himself was being obstinate, it might not be the case for his collaborators.

Moreover, profit was everything, and Isaac doubted that they would sacrifice that to hide Stephen's secret.

James soon led him to the room where all the doctors who assisted in Irene's surgery were gathered.

Isaac did not threaten them immediately, but instead threw them a tempting bait. "I heard that the highest ranked among you is an attending physician at Melville Hospital. However, if anyone tells me where Irene Spencer is, you'll be an attending physician at Central Hospital."

The status of attending physicians varied between hospitals, and being an attending physician at Central Hospital was no different from department chief at any other hospital.

Naturally, the bait was absolutely tempting and everyone was already thinking about it.

They certainly did not want to give up such a golden opportunity to anyone else.

While they were all raring to go, a young man stepped forward and said, "I'll talk."

Although he was Stephen's student, he was still an intern and therefore the lowest ranked.

The instant he spoke, everyone turned toward him, throwing insults such as betraying Stephen's trust... but in truth, they were all just jealous he beat them to it.

Isaac was not surprised-if there was one thing he did not expect, it was how easily they agreed to talk, as if they had no resistance at all.

It went without saying that all promises were pointless when they had something to gain.

"Then, tell me."

Isaac took a seat at a chair nearby, crossing his legs nonchalantly as he leveled the young doctor a neutral glance.

Even though he knew his offer would encourage someone to come forward, people who betray their old master like this man were... unlikeable.

The young doctor kept his head lowered, afraid to look at the people around who were staring daggers at him.

"She's not dead... Dr. Carr switched out her body with that of another woman who was killed in a fire."

"Where is she now?" Isaac asked.

The young doctor shook his head. "I don't know. Dr. Carr made everyone leave the OR, and we never saw her since. We don't even know how or where she was transported away."

Isaac had thought that he would know something, and yet...

He scowled and swept his eyes across the other gathered doctors. "None of you know a thing, do you?"

Everyone kept their heads down-all they knew was that Irene survived, but none of them knew anything else since Stephen handled everything else afterward by himself.

Isaac was naturally unhappy with the outcome, and he also knew that Stephen is going to be obstinate.

It would be very difficult to make him talk..

Still, just as things came to a standstill, Isaac's phone rang.

[I'll be waiting at the Seventh Port.]

It was Robin's text, but Isaac could never calm down when it came to Irene -he so badly wanted to know what had happened to her.

"Bring Ian with US."

"Excuse me..." the young doctor called out, eager to remind Isaac of his promise.
