The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 918

Irene was not even in Zidonia, but she could hear the urgency in Lulu's voice.

Irene asked, "Is it Ricky?"

"No, it's M-Martin…" Lulu said and pleaded, "Irene, I don't have much time. Please hurry…"

"Is the baby coming too?!" Irene gasped.

"Yes, but listen—Martin was shot… they say the bullet was near his heart… S-Save him…"

Irene was afraid of telling Lulu that she was abroad right then. "Got it. I'll be right over."

Irene hung up, and she was planning to call James when she realized that it would take her over ten hours to return to Zidonia.

It was far too long, and way past the optimal time to treat Martin.

She quickly called Finn Crowe instead—thankfully, the youth was reliable as ever, and he quickly answered her call. "Director Spencer?"

"Don't say a thing, Finn. Just listen to my instructions: go to Brian Adams and ask him to head over to New Kent. I'll send you the exact address later."

She had picked Brian Adams to succeed her as director of Hotmesh because she had read through his resume—he excelled in plenty of aspects, and he was one of the best heart surgeons in the country as well.

Most important of all, his ability was above question.

Finn was understanding enough to spare her any questions. "I'll go right now."

"Good," Irene said, and hung up.

She called Lulu back, but it was an unfamiliar voice on the other end. "Hello?'

Somehow, Irene could hear Lulu panting from the other end, although she was clearly restraining herself already.

Having given birth herself, Irene knew how much it hurt.

Staying calm, she asked, "Which hospital is Martin at?"

The man replied. "New Kent's First Citizen Hospital."

"I'm sending a heart surgeon over right now, so receive him when he arrives and arrange for him to help with Martin's surgery," Irene said. "I don't have the specifics on Martin's condition, but Lulu's call just now tells me plenty. Just ask the hospital to stabilize Martin's vitals if they aren't confident about a surgery, and wait until the heart surgeon arrives. If they can do it, tell them to do it immediately without delay."

"Yes, ma'am," Johnny replied.

"How's Lulu right now?" Irene then asked.
