The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 666

Chapter 666

Lulu was certainly pale from shock when Irene saw her.

Irene actually felt guilty and blamed herself for being skeptical that Lulu would faint from the fire.

'Are you feeling better?" Irene asked mildly. "The hospital might not be the best place to rest. You can come and stay a dew days with me, since Zachary would to stay in the hospital a few days before being discharged-"

"I'm fine. I think I'll pass," Lulu said, cutting her short.

Irene sensed that Lulu was being distant right then..

"Lulu," Irene said, taking Lulu's hand. "We're best friends, aren't we? You don't have to be a stranger. I mean, we even used to share the same bed..."

Lulu pursed her lips. "Did we? I don't remember."

Irene was not about to give up, just as Lulu's aloofness did not deter her.

"We did." Irene smiled.

"You should go. I should check on Zachary," Lulu said as she got out of bed and left, completely leaving Irene.

Irene was disappointed, but did not hold it against Lulu-Lulu's aloofness might be due to her amnesia.

All Irene could do for now was to be understanding toward Lulu.

When Lulu arrived at Mrs. Slate's ward to find Zachary checking on his mother's injuries, she watched silently, her eyes utterly cool.

When Zachary turned around, however, she quickly pretended to be scared out of her wits, her coolness turning into fear!

"Ms your mother alright?" she whispered softly and worriedly.

"She's going to be fine, don't worry," Zachary told her. "You should get some rest."

Lulu remained there regardless. "But we can't stay at that house now, can we?"

"Yeah," Zachary replied. "But I'll quickly arrange for a new place to stay."

"What caused the fire?" she asked tentatively just then.

"I don't know, but the police are investigating. We will soon find out."

"Yeah," Lulu murmured.

Zachary walked over to her and caressed her cheek. "Do you feel better now?"

She felt disgusted, but she braced herself so that she would not avoid his touch. "Yeah."

"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you," Zachary said, blaming himself for this incident.
