The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 812

The look in Ray's eyes was basically saying: Are you kidding me?

Surgeries were not a game!

"Even if you're a medical research staff, surgeries are only to be performed by doctors with the proper certification and training. Do you have those?"

"I do," Irene replied.

Ray stared fixedly at her in silence, surprised despite himself.

Still, she had remained calm since the start, and that was proof enough—the average person would be losing composure once they found out that their family was facing mortal danger.

"But you're not a doctor of this hospital. Even if you are a doctor, you're not allowed to perform the surgery here," Ray told her.

Irene had more to say when Finn and several Hotmesh Research personnel arrived together, having heard about Dennis's condition.

"How is it going?" Finn asked.

"Not good," Irene replied.

"What?" everyone exclaimed at once.

Irene stayed silent, but Ray explained, "If you're his family too, I'll make it clear—you need to prepare yourself."

"What?!"

"Was it really that serious?!"

Finn realized right then that was why Irene had him get the artificial heart—she knew about Dennis's condition already.

"Our doctors are saving him right now. Just be ready," Ray said.

However, Irene stopped him again when he started toward the operating room again. "The artificial heart is here, doctor. I'll do it if you don't dare to do it."

Ray looked Irene in the eye. "I've made it very clear…"

"The rules are inflexible, but people aren't."

"I won't let you perform the surgery no matter what you say." Ray was clear, because he would never be able to assume the responsibility if anything were to happen.

"Dr. Hall? Dr. Clegg is calling. The patient is going into shock."

Ray turned to leave right then—he did not have the time to waste his breath with Irene.
