The Runaway Groom
Isaac looked up. Slowly closing his magazine, he told Erin, “It’s late. You should go to bed!”
With that, he headed to the kitchen, where Irene was still sorting the plates into the drawer.
“You’re not done yet?” he asked.
“I am now,” she replied, sorting the last stack into the drawer and stretching her arms—her back was
actually starting to get sore.
Isaac walked up behind her.
“Good work,” he said, putting his arms around her waist. “I’ll give you a massage.”
It felt ticklish to Irene instead, and she smiled as she pushed him away. “Buzz off. You don’t have to.”
“Buzz off to where?” Isaac asked.
Irene was too tired to fool around with him. “I’m sleepy.”
“Let’s go to bed then,” Isaac said, giving her a peck on the lips. “You look pale.”
Irene’s heart seemed to clench, but she feigned calmness as she rubbed her face. “Really?”
“Yeah,” Isaac replied.
“I think I’ve been tired recently,” she explained, pursing her lips and pushing him out of the kitchen.
“Now, go already.”
“Irene,” Erin called out to her just then—she had yet to go back to her room.
Irene thought that Erin was unsure which room she was staying in, so Irene pointed it out for Erin. “The
one to the right—over there.”
“I know. I’m just not sure why you guys are still up. It’s almost 2 AM now.”
“I was cleaning the kitchen,” Irene replied.
“You were? Where’s Mrs. Watson?”
“At the hospital,” Irene replied simply.
“Oh! I would have come back sooner if I knew,” Erin said.
“I’m fine on my own,” Irene replied. “I’m going to bed now. You should too.”
Erin nodded.

As she stepped out of the shower, Irene saw the glass of cranberry juice on top of the bedside drawer.
Walking up to the bed, her eyes were fixed on the man lying on it as she asked, “You made that?”
“Yeah,” Isaac replied. “Drink it while it’s warm.”
Irene sat on the bed and picked up the glass, but kept it in her hand as she asked, “Isaac, do you find it
unfortunate that you can’t have a daughter?”
“I have two sons already,” Isaac said as he looked up. “Why would you ask that?”
Irene simply chugged the cranberry juice and got into bed, wrapping her arms tightly around him.
“You’ve been a little passionate lately,” Isaac said lightly.
Irene did not answer and she simply buried her head in his chest.
It was very late, so they soon fell asleep.
–
Irene woke up at six in the morning.
Mrs. Watson was not around and Sheryl had to take care of the children, so it was up to Irene herself to
prepare breakfast.
Isaac quickly wrapped his arms around her waist. “You can sleep in.”
“You do that,” Irene said, giving him a peck on the cheek. “I’m making breakfast, and I still have to see
off Lulu at the train station before heading to the hospital. Erin is still staying with us and no one is
getting any breakfast if I don’t cook.”
“I’ll order takeout…”
“Just let me cook,” Irene said, getting out of bed and tucking him under the blanket. “You sleep.”
She got changed and headed downstairs when she noticed that Erin was up too.
“You’re early,” Irene said.
“I was thinking about helping out with making breakfast since no one’s around,” Erin said.
As such, both women went to work together, and breakfast was ready soon enough.
After that, Irene helped Tommy get changed, while Sheryl was already holding Irene’s baby, who woke
up early too.
Erin cleared the table after breakfast.
Irene thought it was not ideal since Erin was supposed to be a guest, but Irene did not have the time.
As such, she left everything to Erin while she rushed to Lulu’s hotel.
After sending Lulu and Martin to the train station, Irene bought breakfast and rushed to the hospital,
telling Finn the instant she arrived, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Finn replied.
“Here, I bought you breakfast,” Irene said as she placed the box on the table. “Eat something before
you leave.”
Finn naturally accepted it while Irene checked on Mrs. Watson.
“She’s fine,” Finn told her. “She was quite spirited and she slept after taking her meds.”
As Irene nodded, Finn added, “Call me anytime if you’re too busy, director.”
Irene naturally felt awkward bothering him all the time, and she said, “I’ll get a nurse today.”
–
Later, Finn left, only to rush back to Mrs. Watson’s ward after a while.
He must have been running since he was panting heavily.
Irene poured him a glass of water while asking, “What happened? Catch your breath.”
“It’s big. It’s really big…” Finn gasped.
