The Runaway Groom Chapter 919
Irene quickly and hastily treated her sprain before leaving.
Tommy ran up to her, hugging her leg. “Mommy, where are you going? Can’t you play with me? This place is really
fun. I really like it here!”
“Sorry, Mommy’s busy,” Irene said, tenderly petting his little head. “You stay here and listen to Grandma.”
Tommy blinked at her. “Mommy…?”
Eagle came and scooped Tommy up in his arms. “I’ll keep them safe, ma’am.”
Irene certainly believed in Eagle and nodded. “I’m counting on you.”
“It’s what I should do,” Eagle replied.
As Irene started down the stairs, Eagle called out to her again. “Ma’am…”
Irene turned. “Yeah?”
Eagle headed inside his room and brought her a bottle of ointment.
“People in my line of work always have some medication prepared. Just spray it on the affected area, and it will
ease the swelling.”

“You’re welcome,” Eagle replied.

James arrived just as Irene stepped out of the front door of the castle, and he took her straight to the airport.
Along the way, she told him, “Call me immediately if you have news on Isaac.”
“I will,” James replied.
Irene lowered her eyes then, which were filled with worry—both for Isaac and Lulu.
They waited for a while at the airport before the announcement to board her flight echoed on the public address
system.
“Should I book your flight back too?” James asked.
Irene actually had no idea when she would return and so said, “I’ll book it myself. You just focus on finding Isaac.”
She needed a ride too, which was why she might as well ask James to book the ticket too.
Naturally, she did not need to bother him as well on the return flight.
“Okay,” James replied, and she headed to departures.

Over at Zidonia, Brian Adams hurried to New Kent immediately, and Johnny was on hand to receive him and take
him to the hospital.
His credentials were verifiable, and the hospital was naturally willing to cooperate, since saving Martin took priority.
Since they did not have heart surgeons experienced enough to operate on Martin, no one took the scalpel.
As such, Brian was quickly briefed on Martin’s condition before he consulted the local attending physicians and
decided on the surgical procedure.
Time was of the essence—once Brian and the others decided on the procedure, they went to work.

Over at the maternity ward, Lulu was on a hospital bed, sweating from head to toe from the pain, and her hair so
damp every strand was sticking to her face..
But she withstood it without making a sound.
More than seven hours had passed, and it was now nighttime—Lulu was still not delivering the baby, even though
she was utterly enfeebled.
The obstetrician in charge said, “C-section it is!”
However, Lulu turned toward Pippa, the female officer who accompanied her to the hospital, and she asked feebly,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is Martin’s surgery over?”
“Not yet,” Pippa replied.
As Lulu’s gaze darkened, the obstetrician said, “Your delivery isn’t going well. A C-section is safer.”
Lulu, however, was staring blankly at the ceiling.
Martin was the best man she had ever met—she did not want to live if he died.
A tear trickled out of her eyes.
Martin was the one who brought light to her life again…
At the same time, the obstetrician urged Pippa to persuade Lulu, since Lulu’s condition was serious.
“Look, Lulu—the doctors are doing their best to save Martin right now,” Pippa told Lulu. “If something happens to
the child when he recovers, he’ll be miserable…”
Lulu flashed a bitter smile.
The child was not Martin’s, and it would actually be humiliating to him if the child were born!
It should not have existed at all!
As such she refused to undergo the C-section, and she turned toward Pippa. “Please ask them how Martin’s surgery
is going… Please?”
