The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 844

Irene waved him off and said. "I'm fine. Probably just bad food. Get the car right now."

"Where are we going?" Eagle asked.

"Back to the hospital," Finn said, answering on Irene's behalf since she looked really sick.

Eagle quickly got the car without another question, while Finn helped Irene into it.

As Eagle drove to the hospital, Finn asked in concern, "Are you alright?"

Irene actually thought that her pain subsided since the initial pang. "Much better."

Color was returning to her face as well.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Finn said, "You must be under a lot of pressure lately. Maybe you were too anxious when you saw Director Turner faint?"

Irene ran the possibilities through her mind.

She did not eat anything cold or dirty, so it was not food.

Maybe it was as Finn put it—she was under too much pressure.

"Maybe!"

Her stomachache completely faded when they reached the hospital.

However, just as she alighted, James arrived and intercepted her, asking grimly, "What are you doing here?"

Irene said, "I was going to check on Dennis Turner—"

"Don't. He's dead—you should leave, and stay away. It's a mess over there."

Irene would have dropped to her knees if she was not holding on to the door.

Her voice quivering with disbelief, she asked, "H-He's dead?"

"Yes," James answered with assurance.

"What?! How?!" Irene had a hard time accepting it.

"What's happened has happened. We have to go—from here on, we must be careful." James then assured her, "It's not your fault either. Don't dwell on it."

As Irene returned inside her car, James told Eagle to keep both eyes on her. "Don't let her get out of the car. I'll be right back once I've arranged something."

It was always Eagle's duty to protect Irene. "You have nothing to worry about."

James then directed his men to retrieve Ian and keep a constant eye on him. Then, he ran back to Irene's car, telling Eagle to drive Irene home.

Along the way, he whipped out his phone to call Isaac since this incident might get blown out of proportion.

They had to resolve it as soon as possible!

However, Irene suddenly put a hand on James's arm. "Wait."
