The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 955

Zachary replied, "I did."

Irene frowned. "Then why'd you say you don't know what happened to him?"

Unable to hide it, Zachary said, "He might have been captured. Don't worry, though—Isaac has already asked people to find him."

Irene remained worried. "Is he really going to be alright?"

Zachary did not tell her about the phone conversation he had with that gang member, so that she would not worry too much.

"You're still hurt," he said instead. "You should be resting. Isaac and I will find James."

After all, Irene was arching her back slightly even as she stood, and her face was pale—the bullet wound her shoulder must still hurt.

"Call me immediately when there's news," she rasped.

"Yeah. I'll go bring Erin over now," Zachary replied.

Irene nodded, and Zachary turned to leave.

Pierre approached her then. "Ma'am."

Irene then saw a maid carrying a tray of food and said, "Just bring it to the dining room. I'll eat with everyone else."

"Sure." Pierre gestured for the maid to leave.

Irene sat beside Isaac then, and he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"My shoulder hurts, but lying down hurts more," Irene replied.

"You should get your injury checked at the hospital again."

"It's fine," Irene said. "Zachary did his best."

Then, putting some food on Isaac's plate, she said, "Here, eat up! I'll feed you."

He looked weary at that, and Irene smiled. "What, are you getting embarrassed even though we're married?"
