The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 988

Irene was talking to Isaac, and she stopped when she heard knocking and opened the door. "Erin…"

"I was thinking about getting some ribs, but I don't know where to go," Erin said. "Do you?"

Irene did not, but she had an idea.

She told Eagle to get back to the castle and had Pierre do it—he was the type who can help with anything with their daily life.

Come to think of it, having the man around did make life easier.

"I'll go too," Erin said, wanting to pick the ingredients herself for her soup.

"Okay," Irene replied. "You can go with Eagle."

Erin smiled and nodded, but before she turned to leave, she remembered something and glanced at Irene. "Isaac's eyes…"

"We were just talking about that," Irene said.

Erin was very concerned about James, but she did not forget about Irene either. "Now that James is back, my brother's eyes can't wait."

Irene knew that too. "Yeah."

With that, Erin left to look for Eagle while Irene closed the door and turned toward Isaac. "Did you hear that?"

Isaac was staring into thin air, his gaze unfocused as he quietly said, "I don't care what you say. You're staying here."

"But I contacted the doctor," Irene argued—she wanted to go with him to Minerva.

She had personally looked into the optometrist and saw that he was accomplished in his field, and she also made the appointment.

If they stayed here and kept discussing it, when would they ever move?

Naturally, the sooner they got it done, the better—but Isaac was insistent on Irene staying home.

"What's wrong with me going with you?" she asked. "I'm a doctor, and I can care for you even if I can't treat your eyes. And I can care for you better than Stan can, can't I?"

"Have you fully recovered?" Isaac asked.

"Yes," she replied, but she definitely had not—gunshot wounds were not healed so easily!

Pursing his lips, Isaac asked, "Why can't you listen?"
