The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 896

Putting down her belongings, Irene said, "I'll go talk to him."

"It won't work even if you go—Brian Adam isn't going to say yes," Finn told her. "He was not the one who performed the surgery, so how would he answer the details when asked?"

Irene remained adamant. "I could make a list of all the details…"

Frustrated, Finn snapped, "You don't believe me? Fine. Go to him yourself!"

However, it was not as if Irene doubted Finn—she just thought it was wrong to attend a publicity event when she was leaving.

Moreover, she hated the spotlight.

As such, she went looking for Brian.

But even before she could say a word, he told her as soon as he saw her, "I'm not going. Don't try to talk me into it."

"You're saying no even before I said a thing?" Irene asked.

"I didn't perform the surgery. I'd just be stealing your credit if I went," he replied.

"You're taking over as director soon anyway. It's nothing," she insisted.

In fact, they had already agreed that he would take over as director beforehand.

Brian was willing to take up the role since there was a new research project and he was already involved as well.

Even so he waved her off. "I won't go even if you talked me to death—in fact, you should be going instead of giving away your accomplishments further. Otherwise, you won't be leaving with anything."

Irene laughed. "I have something—memories with everyone here. I'll visit whenever I'm free, too."

"Good, but you still have to get someone else."

Brian was determined, so Irene left to ask someone else.

But no one was willing, as they were worried they would mess up.

It would be embarrassing if it was exposed live that they were not the doctor who performed the surgery!

And given how advanced the world wide web was, they would be flamed to death if caught red-handed!

Having no other choice, Irene naturally had to do it herself.
