Chapter 432
Isaac noticed that Irene was going to make a move.
And just as he spoke, Irene somehow managed to shake off the two goons restraining her and started running
toward the river!
Isaac's face fell and he gave chase right then.
He managed to catch her by the wrist and firmly pulled. As she fell into his arms, he quietly told him, "Just stop..."
Irene shook her head in despair. "I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
She had lost all hope when Isaac said that he was only being nice to her because of Tommy. Still, she did not want
him to be coerced by Ian because of herself, and decided to do one last thing for him.
After all, he was the only man she had ever loved!
Seeing that they were both together, Ian remembered his dead mother and crippled father right then, and
promptly pressed the detonator he was holding, intent on blowing them both up.
Irene, however, sensed it before he could, and bit Isaac's arm as hard as she could. The pain made him release her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtever so slightly, and Irene seized the moment to push him away.
"Save Tommy..." she cried as she leaped into the river.
Then, a thunderous boom erupted.
Even though Irene managed to push him away, Isaac was still too close and was struck by the shockwave, knocking
him to the ground even as water and flames rushed into the air, filling it with the choking scent of dynamite and
splashing the riverbanks like a violent tide.
Just then, everyone in Isaac's SUV rushed outside-he certainly did not go alone, and brought the giant car to hide
them.
His men were all armed with tranquilizers, and were supposed to take out Ian and his goons when the opportunity
presented itself.
But it never did.
Ian had already taken a machete from one of his goons and was walking toward Isaac to make sure he was dead-a
tranquilizer dart hit Ian square on the neck before he got too far, and he dropped unconscious immediately.
Soon, his goons were taken down as well, while the leader of Isaac's men promptly barked, "Go! Search the river!
We must find her..."
Isaac found himself in a hospital when he regained consciousness.
Remembering what he saw before he was knocked out, he asked immediately, "Where is she?'
"They're operating on her," James assured him, having rushed to the hospital and was waiting as Isaac came to.
"We've saved Sheryl and Tommy as well, and Stan is taking care of them as we speak. Don't worry."
As Isaac looked sharply at him, however, James quickly lowered his head.
Take me to her," Isaac growled as he got up and strode outside, asking as he did, "Is she going to be alright?"
James kept his head lowered and said nothing-he could barely recognize Irene when he saw her, let alone be
confident that she could be saved.
"Tell me!" Isaac barked.
James lowered his head further as he hurried along. "It was very serious.
She was covered in blood when they fished her out of the sea, and her face was completely disfigured..."
Isaac stopped in his tracks and wheeled on James. "What was that?"
James did not dare to look up at all, and quietly said, "It's very serious..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsaac's fingers twitched, and he slowly clenched them into a fist, his knuckles cracking and turning pale even as the
veins bulged.
"The doctors are doing their best. They might be able to save her," James continued.
"Where... are they?" Isaac growled, his voice unwittingly quivering even though he was trying his best to stay calm,
and he had to pause for a moment to finish.
"It's the first room. The hospital put their best doctors on it too," James replied.
Though Isaac headed toward the operating room steadily, he was actually a mess inside.
The indicator outside the operating room was still red, indicating that the doctors were still operating on her.
On several occasions, Isaac appeared to be ready to rush inside, and would really have done so if James did not
stop him. "You're really going to kill her if you disturb the doctors..."
Even so, he felt as if something was stuck in his chest and he could not breathe, and he was almost hyperventilating
just to stop himself from suffocating.
He remembered the look of despair in Irene's eyes at the time, and he knew right then that she had clearly
misunderstood him.
It was why she pushed him away and leaped into the river, prepared to die. The indicator outside the operating
room suddenly turned off, and the doors opened as a doctor stepped out.
Isaac rushed up to him, and he breathed with enormous difficulty, "Is she alright?"
