The Runaway Groom Chapter 837
James continued to tease Stan.
“The chicken blood was fresh and it was quite difficult to get my hands on it. Don’t you see how shocked the cops
were when they saw you? They looked so sure you wouldn’t make it.”
“You’re the one who won’t make it! If I knew I’d be given this crap once I came back, I wouldn’t have bothered!”
Stan snapped as he strode off toward the shower in his ward.
Thank goodness there was one in his room—he could not stand the stink latching onto his body!
James smiled and left before returning with a medical record.
Stan was done with his shower then, drying his hair and watching James. “What’s that you’re holding?”
James passed it to him. “Take a look. It’s your medical record.”
Stan shot James a look. “Why do I have a bad feeling about this?”
“Your feeling is wrong. You get to enjoy yourself fully the next few days,” James sat by his bed and rested his legs on
them.
Stan nervously opened the medical record, to find the terms: rib fracture, kidney bleeding, cartilage dislocation,

Frowning, he asked, “Are you people messing with me?!”
He felt repulsed just from looking!
“We can’t get him locked up if it’s not serious,” James said, walking up to Stan and clapping him on the shoulder.
“Just live it for the next few days, and it’s a nice dinner for me when you’re done. You deserve it.”
While Stan was left speechless, James continued, “Oh, and don’t leave the hospital. Stay inside your ward and leave
the rest to me.”
Stan nodded. “Fine.”
With that, James left the ward.
…
Over at the detention center, Neil was shouting the instant he saw Stan’s ‘case file’!
“He set me up! I never hit him that hard. It was staged!”
“This medical record is from the hospital. How did he stage that?” the officer interrogating him asked.
Neil was stumped and he soon became quiet.
Still, an idea struck him and he came to a realization.
It was payback for suing Irene and stubbornly keeping the case!
“May I contact my family?” he asked.
“You may,” the officer said in agreement.
With that, he sent a message to his family, so that they would settle the lawsuit against Irene out of court.
…
Irene was shopping with both her children, Sheryl Harris, and Mrs. Watson.
They bought a lot, mostly for the children.
Irene also bought some skin care products for Mrs. Watsons and Sheryl, since she could see how hard they worked
to take care of her children.
Since she had time, she had everyone leave the house together. While the chauffeur loaded everything in the car,
they went to a restaurant for lunch.
The food was good, and Irene carried her younger son while letting Sheryl eat first.
“It’s rare that you’re so free,” Sheryl said as she put food on Tommy’s plate.
Irene was standing and rocking her baby. “So you should cherish the time you can spend with me.”
Sheryl rolled her eyes at her. “Don’t think I didn’t notice you’re acting strange lately.”

Did she see through her?
“You used to be so busy and never talk this much even when you’re home. But now, you have so much free time
and you talk too much. So, did something happen?” Sheryl asked.
Irene was speechless—so the more she tried to hide it, the more obvious it was?
“Can’t you think better of me, Mom?” Irene complained. “Think a little higher of me, at least?”
“Fine.” Sheryl waved her off. “Now eat. I’ll carry him.”
Irene was not feeling an appetite, but handed her baby to Sheryl nonetheless and sat down to eat.
After lunch, they brought Tommy to the amusement park and ate dinner outside as well.
She said that Mrs. Watson should have a day off instead of cooking every day.
She had no idea if Isaac would make it home tonight either.
As such, she called him to tell them that everyone was outside.
Isaac soon answered her call, but Irene immediately heard a loud scream!
Her heart skipping a beat, she exclaimed anxiously, “Isaac?!”
