The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 829

James could see that Irene was worried.

"Did something happen?" he asked.

Irene shook her head. "I can't reach him."

James thought about it. "Maybe he's just busy. Maybe his phone is just out of juice. Don't worry, he'll be alright."

"Yeah, I'm not worried," Irene said, taking a deep breath before stepping inside the elevator. "I'm going now."

James only realized what was happening then, and he called out to her just as she was about to enter the elevator. "Is there a reason why you're looking for him?"

Irene paused and turned toward him. "No."

"I can help, whatever it is," James said.

Irene was quiet for a while before she said, "There is a little something."

"Let's talk in my office?" James asked.

"Sure," she replied.

…

They headed to his office, where James made her a cup of coffee and put it in front of her.

"So? What's the matter?" he asked as he sat down.

Irene went straight to the point. "I'm looking for a reliable lawyer. Is there anyone available here?"

"We do have a formidable legal team," James replied. "Which field, specifically? And are you asking for yourself, or…"

"For myself—I was sued, and the responsibility is on me," Irene admitted.

James frowned slightly. "Could it be a dispute about a medical case?"

"...I guess!" Irene was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't have the moral high ground here. I need a lawyer just to buy me some time."

She knew that Neil would give in once Dennis woke up.

On the other hand, if Dennis died, she would take the punishment due for her violation of hospital regulation!

But right now, what she needed was a little time.

James raised a brow. "A medical case, huh?"
