The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 933

Isaac asked in confusion, "Tell what?"

"Didn't you see anything since you were brought here?" Marie asked.

Isaac shook his head. "No. Nothing."

"Really?" Marie pressed on.

"No," Isaac said assuredly. "Nothing at all."

Marie nodded and walked up to help him walk. "You don't look like a bad man. Zidonian, right?"

Isaac nodded. "Yes."

Helping him back to his room, she told him, "Get some rest."

As Marie and Thomas got in bed that night, she said, "He said he saw nothing."

"Do you think he'd admit it if he did?" Thomas asked in return.

"But he's Zidonian," Marie argued. "He probably won't—"

"They might have sent a Zidonian to find us so that we'd let down our guard."

Thomas was certainly paranoid, and even Marie had a hard time understanding him. "If you believe that, we should've left him to die and save ourselves the trouble!"

"I would've—if he wasn't blind," Thomas replied.

The vineyard was actually a front, and the truth was that they were rearing a certain species of animal illegally, which had body parts that could be sold for good value.

However, Thomas and Marie were not actually criminals, but they were forced to stay here because of their son's debt.

It was either their compliance or their son's life, although they would be killed as well if news of this place leaked out.

That was why they were worried that Isaac was sent to investigate them and refused to let him leave.

Thankfully, his legs and eyes were hurt—they would not try to save him if he could see, and might even kill him.

Meanwhile, Isaac could not sleep at all.

All he thought was that they were living in a weird place, and there was no way he would have known that he had actually stumbled on an illegal farm!

After days of toiling, Irene finally gave in to exhaustion and slept as if she was in a coma.
