The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 921

Johnny refused to listen to or to understand Lulu.

But as the stalemate persisted, Pippa suddenly had an idea.

She whipped out her phone to answer it. "Hello? Oh! The surgery is done? Thank goodness… That's great news!"

Johnny's eyes lit up in turn. "Is it about the captain's surgery?!"

Pippa nodded. "Yes. They're saying it was a success."

Lulu's hand eased from the doorframe right then.

She smiled, rejoicing, although her eyes still welled with tears.

Pursing her parched lips, Lulu said, "As long as he’s alright."

"Can you undergo the C-section now?" Johnny asked.

Lulu said nothing, but it was basically a silent approval.

After they wheeled her into the delivery room, Johnny was about to turn and leave when Pippa stopped him.

"I was lying, Johnny," Pippa said.

Johnny looked at her in surprise, but he was soon frowning.

He obviously understood what Pippa meant.

"That call just now…"

"No one called me," Pippa admitted.

"It’s fine. It’s better this way." Johnny, however, praised her instead.

They would not have gotten Lulu to undergo the surgery otherwise—were they supposed to just let two lives end on her whim?

Settling down on the bench just then, Johnny sighed and prayed that both Martin and Lulu would be safe.

"It's definitely a difficult day for them," Pippa said.

Johnny agreed. "Absolutely. I didn't think that they were that close either,"

He was certainly shocked when Lulu declared that she could not live without Martin, and that their bond was that strong.

Knowing that Lulu and Martin were both good people, he could only wish that they were fine.

After over an hour, Lulu delivered a girl, but the baby appeared bruised all over perhaps because she had been stuck in Lulu for too long.

As the baby was taken away to observation, Johnny sighed emotionally. "A girl is fine too."
