The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 944

As Isaac blinked, Irene noticed the scarring on his face from his fall, which had since recovered.

She gently touched his face and eyelids, murmuring, "It was so difficult for us to find you. How could I leave you?"

Isaac held her wrist and said quietly, "There's this couple who saved me. I can't leave them."

"We'll come with you," Irene said—from her perspective, a savior of Isaac's was her savior too.

"Why don't we leave together and strategize instead?" Zachary then suggested. "We don't know who our enemies are, and going in recklessly would make us passive."

Isaac thought about it, but Zachary was definitely making sense.

Moreover, he was blind, while James had yet to arrive.

This was not the time to go back to the vineyard!

"Yeah," he said. "Let's go somewhere safe and decide how we can help them."

They returned to the jeep which was parked nearby, and while Irene had her arms around Isaac's, she noticed that Isaac was being hesitant as he walked, even shambling.

And as she looked at him, puzzled, she realized that he was not looking at him.

He was scowling and quietly said, "I'm fine."

Irene had definitely been too excited to notice anything wrong with him, but now she did.

His eyes were not even on where he was going but darting everywhere without a focus.

She had a bad feeling about that, and her heart clenched.

She tentatively raised her hand in front of his eyes and waved, but he did not react at all and his eyes never moved.

Zachary froze.

"Isaac—"

He was about to speak, but Irene shook her head at him, telling him to stop.

Isaac must be in a delicate state at the moment even if he did not show it, and he had always been good at pretending.

Still, Irene slowed down and discreetly watched out for him.
