The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 912

Eagle's gaze became evasive right then, but he soon composed himself. "Your mother asked me to bring it to you."

As Irene took it, she asked, "Why are you getting nervous? I wasn't doubting you."

"I'm not nervous, ma'am," Eagle replied.

Irene, however, was clearly skeptical—he was clearly being antsy just now.

"Are you not used to this place yet?" she asked.

"...A little," Eagle admitted.

"You'll get used to it eventually," Irene told him. "Just call me if something comes up."

"Yes, ma'am," Eagle replied, while Irene returned to the dining table.

This time, Sheryl did not force her to eat again and instead poured her a glass of water.

She took a sip when Pierre approached her, saying, "There's someone here to see you, Mrs. Jefferson."

Irene thought it would be James, so she headed to the front door… only to find that it was Zachary Slate.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in curiosity.

"James told me about what happened to Isaac," he replied, his expression grim. "I came to help."

As Irene nodded, Zachary asked, "Still no news yet?"

Irene shook her head. "James and I are prepared to survey the wreckage."

"I'm coming along," Zachary said right then.

Irene did not refuse, since she needed more people right now.

When James arrived, Irene spoke to Eagle and Pierre before leaving.

James had arranged a helicopter for them, since the wreckage was in Dunesia.

Driving would take too long, and this would save more time.

The helicopter they were riding fit four, which was just right for the pilot, Irene, James, and Zachary.

One of James's men approached them and reported, "Nothing yet."

But there were no signs of them at all, let alone a corpse.

Irene remained at the foot of the mountain because there was a police line, and personnel not involved in the search were barred from entering.

She did not even feel the chilly winds billowing. "Keep looking."

As she had decided to personally join the search, James spoke to the police while Zachary stayed at Irene's side.

There was no clear path up Darcy's Peak, making traveling difficult, but fortunately the trees were sparse.

However, Irene noticed none of that as she strode ahead, not sparing a glance at the view that so many people were enjoying.

No picturesque view could draw her attention now because her heart and mind were set on one person.

All she could hope for was to find Isaac soon, and she told herself that miracles could happen even in a plane crash!

"Mrs. Jefferson!" James was exclaiming as he suddenly ran up to them. "The Dunesians found someone!"
