The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 850

Irene gingerly asked Lulu, "Are you alright? I just wanted to get a nicer hotel. I didn't think we would run into Zachary—"

"Irene." Lulu cut her short with a smile. "I'm fine."

Studying Lulu's face for seconds, Irene decided to keep quiet after ensuring that she was.

Changing the subject, she asked, "You've been away for a while. Anything you'd like to eat? It's my treat."

Lulu thought about it. "Strawberry cake."

Irene was speechless—they could get that anywhere!

"Just cake? It's not that often you come back."

"Fine, but after dinner."

Martin joined them as they headed out to eat, before getting the strawberry cake as well.

"When can I take a look at the body?" Lulu asked.

"Anytime. Isaac has already arranged everything with the hospital," Irene said. "But you should rest before you go—it was a long journey and you're pregnant."

"No. If it's alright with you, I'd like to get it done soon and head home."

It was obvious that Lulu did not want to linger, so Irene called Isaac to make the arrangements, while she went with them in the same car.

After Eagle parked the car behind the hospital, they sneaked in since what they were doing was highly irregular.

If Neil were to find out, Irene would be in further trouble.

And since it was not as if Neil would agree to a post-mortem, they had to keep things quiet!

James Cross led them to the morgue, which was at a quiet corner beneath the parking lot.

They felt a gust of cold air hitting their face the instant the elevator doors opened, but Martin and Lulu remained composed since they were used to it.

Isaac, however, was worried—there was a chance Dennis's death was caused by the surgery or the artificial heart.

Isaac was waiting in the corridor outside. He took Irene's hand when she arrived, quietly saying, "Calm down."

Irene looked at him in surprise. "Do I look that worried?"

She had already kept herself under control!

At the same time, James pulled Dennis's body from the morgue drawer, while Lulu and Martin joined him.

Irene was going to do so since he was concerned about Lulu, but Isaac stopped her. "Don't."

"Why?" she asked.
