The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 917

Bob hated Ricky for his betrayal, and he fired a shot straight at Ricky before the police officers could subdue him!

However, Martin York stepped in the bullet's way, and the shot hit him on the back.

He was rushed to the hospital right away for emergency surgery, but the bullet was lodged too close to Martin's heart. They needed the best heart surgeons to extract it, or the risk would be too serious.

While the hospital arranged for the surgery, Lulu Adams was still at home.

She knew about the operation today, and although she never received word, she was afraid to call Martin since she might disturb him while he was on the job.

When she had enough of waiting, she headed straight to the precinct, where the higher-ups were interrogating Bob.

Lulu's worries eased, since it seemed that the operation was a success, and Ricky was the most vulnerable asset—he would definitely be killed if the crime ring realized he was the mole.

Finding Johnny, one of Martin's squadmates, she asked, "How did the operation go?"

Remembering that Martin was still in the hospital—his fate unknown—Johnny did not dare to say too much. Averting his eyes from hers, he simply told Lulu, "It's a success."

Lulu then asked, "Was the informant safe?"

"Yeah, we brought him back already," Johnny said, keeping his eyes lowered as he cleaned his table.

Lulu heaved a sigh of relief—that was good, and she would not have trouble explaining herself to Irene.

Turning, she said, "Tell your captain to come home soon too."

"Yeah," Johnny replied very softly.

Lulu seemed to remember something then, and she turned to look at Johnny. "Wait, the operation is a success, right? Martin can head home earlier, right?"

This time, Johnny simply hung his head in silence.

Martin was definitely not making it home tonight, but he did not dare to tell Lulu when she was so close to labor.

However, Lulu quickly noticed that he was acting strange, and her expression darkened.

"Johnny."
