The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533

Debbie held her head high without appearing guilty at all. "James and I go way back. We know each other so well, and everything I'm doing right now is for his sake."

’If you're not lying," Ember said with a sneer.

Debbie promptly wheeled on her and snapped, "What's your wife's problem, Zachary Slate? She doesn't even know me! Why would I try to hurt James? Even if we can't agree on this, what we want is ultimately the same-for James to be fine. Your wife, on the other end, keeps insinuating that I'd hurt James! So I'm asking you, why would I do that? What good would it do me?!”

Since Debbie had worked under Isaac for a long time, she was close with Stan and James. On the surface, she had no reason to hurt James.

As such, Zachary said, "Forgive her. She doesn't know that you're his friend. ■

Meanwhile, the medical staff had wheeled James out of the operating room, and Zachary said, "Let's go."

Debbie glanced at James on the stretcher and remained impassive despite her panic. "Yeah, we should hurry-his treatment shouldn't wait."

Ember pursed her lips. "Really?"

Zachary shot her a glare. "Stop it.’

Saving James took priority right now-it was not the time to fight.

Ember had always been wet behind her ears when it came to Zachary- since he had spoken, she quietly followed without a word.

Soon, the ambulance brought James to Central Hospital, and he was immediately wheeled into the operating room for another surgery thanks to Zachary's arrangement.

Zachary was not allowed in because he had resigned, and thus had to wait outside with the others.

Debbie stood very far from them because she lacked composure. Even if James had no idea that she was the one who staged his accident, he would be smart enough to suspect her.

If James really did wake up, she would be exposed at any moment.

Meanwhile, Ember leaned in to whisper into Zachary's ear, "You should keep an eye on Debbie."

Zachary certainly had not been watching Debbie before because he was too worried about James.

He turned toward Debbie just then and saw that she was fidgeting uneasily.

"I think she's feeling guilty," Ember told him.

Zachary rebuked her softly. ’Stop it. She would never hurt James."

Ember, however, still felt that Debbie was deliberately interfering with James's treatment. "Why not?"

"Because she has no reason to. They both work for Isaac and have built an understanding over the years. What good would it do her anyway?"

Ember was stumped.

Still, she grumbled under her breath, "How should I know? But I can tell she wants to hurt him."

"You shouldn't say that if you don't have proof," Zachary replied.

Ember turned quiet reluctantly.

It was another hour until the doors of the operating room opened and a nurse stepped out.

"Who is the patient's family member?"

Debbie rushed to the nurse, demanding, "How is he? Is he awake?"

"The doctor is checking on him, but this needs signing," the nurse said as she held out a form to Debbie, asking again, "Who will sign it?"
