The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665

Isaac did not return even at 8 PM and Irene's calls were not getting through.

It was only after she asked James that she found out that Isaac had left the country.

How could he leave so quietly without giving her a head's up?

Irene actually felt very miserable that she could not sleep that night, and was left staring at her phone, wishing that he would call.

However, she received a call from the hospital instead.

"Sorry for calling this late, but are you a friend or family member of Zachary Slate?’

Irene drew a blank, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm calling from emergency dispatch-we had to get your number from the patient's phone. If you're a family member, please come to the hospital at once."

Irene frowned. "What happened?"

"He was wounded in a fire. He's being rushed to Cloud City General as we speak."

"Understood. I'll be right there,’ Irene said. She then quickly got out of bed and put on her clothes before asking the chauffeur to drive her to the hospital.

There were not many cars this late at night, and they soon arrived.

Irene rushed inside with the chauffeur in tow.

She made a query at the front desk, but Zachary was still being examined before surgery and she was not allowed to meet him just yet.

As such, she had to wait.

It was not until 4 AM when Irene was finally allowed to meet Zachary.

A huge chunk of his arm was charred but treated, and he was now laying exhaustively in his bed.

"What happened?" Irene asked.

She could not believe it-the Slates' residence was a standalone mansion, and there should have been fire safety equipment installed when it was first built. Even if that failed, getting out should be no trouble either since it was no high-rise building.

Zachary had no idea how it happened either. He was sleeping soundly, and he felt feeble when he woke up, coughing from the thick smoke.
