The Runaway Groom Chapter 845
Irene put down her phone after sending the text and waited for a reply from Lulu.
She would peek at the screen from time to time, but there was nothing…
Even as she reclined against the couch, she wondered the possible causes of Dennis’s death.
Naturally, she could not come up with anything, and that only left her more frustrated!
Still, as she scratched her head…her phone jingled with a notification.
She quickly picked it up, and tapped on the screen to find a reply from Lulu: [How can I help?]
Irene took a moment to consider her words: [Can you come back to Cloud City?]
There was another long pause before a reply came: [Do I have to go back to help you?]
Irene replied: [Yes.]
Still, she became worried about troubling Lulu since she was married now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd since Lulu wanted to start over, Irene had even less reason to bother her.
[Actually, I was just joking. I missed you, that’s all.]
Lulu, however, doubted that. [I know you, woman. I’ll check if there’s a bus.]
Irene pursed her lips and quickly typed. [Thank you.]
[Cut that out. There’s no need to get formal between us.]
Irene stared at the screen and smiled.
It was good having friends.
Another text soon came. [Bought a ticket. Tonight, 8 PM.]
[Call me when you arrive. I’ll come to get you.]
[Sure.]

The door opened just then, and Irene looked up to see Isaac entering, with Zachary Slate in tow.
Considering that she was still in touch with Lulu, Irene turned off her phone and slipped it into her pocket, while
staying calm as she greeted Zachary.
Isaac was scowling, having heard from James about Dennis’s death—which was also why he returned early.
As he sat on the couch, he stared at Irene as he asked, “You know, don’t you?”
Irene nodded slightly and said quietly, “He died out of the blue.”
Isaac found it fishy too, while she continued, “The examination after he woke up proved that he was healthy. Ray
Hall was watching even though I did not personally examine him, and I trust Ray’s character and competence.”
Still staring at her, Isaac asked, “Are you saying that he died, but not because of the surgery?”
“Yes,” Irene replied, and voiced her suspicion, “Dennis woke up—and that means his body was adapting to the
artificial heart. I could tell that he was in good spirits as well. The sudden death is simply abnormal.”
“I’ll have someone look into it—”
“It’s alright,” Irene said, cutting Isaac short. “I have an idea.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe did not tell him that she asked Lulu to examine Dennis’s border since Zachary was there.
Isaac saw her hesitation in speaking, and he merely gave her a long look but stayed silent.
“Irene, if there’s anything I can help with, just ask,” Zachary said just then.
Isaac rolled his eyes at him, but Zachary pretended that he did not see it.
He knew Isaac hated him calling Irene by her first name, but he insisted on doing it the more it upset Isaac.
“I’m thirsty, Irene. Could I have a glass of water?”
Irene was just rising to her feet when Isaac caught her wrist while leveling a hostile look at Zachary. “Get it
yourself.”
Zachary shrugged. “I don’t know where to get water here.”
Isaac snapped, “Then go home. Drink your own water.”
While Zachary was left speechless, Irene glanced between them.
What had gotten into them?
“Are you two having a fight?” she asked.
Zachary grinned. “No, it’s just your darling being petty.”
