The Runaway Groom
Isaac did not return even at 8 PM and Irene’s calls were not getting through.
It was only after she asked James that she found out that Isaac had left the country.
How could he leave so quietly without giving her a head’s up?
Irene actually felt very miserable that she could not sleep that night, and was left staring at her phone,
wishing that he would call.
However, she received a call from the hospital instead.
“Sorry for calling this late, but are you a friend or family member of Zachary Slate?’
Irene drew a blank, and asked, “Who are you?”
“I’m calling from emergency dispatch-we had to get your number from the patient’s phone. If you’re a
family member, please come to the hospital at once.”
Irene frowned. “What happened?”
“He was wounded in a fire. He’s being rushed to Cloud City General as we speak.”
“Understood. I’ll be right there,’ Irene said. She then quickly got out of bed and put on her clothes
before asking the chauffeur to drive her to the hospital.
There were not many cars this late at night, and they soon arrived.
Irene rushed inside with the chauffeur in tow.
She made a query at the front desk, but Zachary was still being examined before surgery and she was
not allowed to meet him just yet.
As such, she had to wait.
It was not until 4 AM when Irene was finally allowed to meet Zachary.
A huge chunk of his arm was charred but treated, and he was now laying exhaustively in his bed.
“What happened?” Irene asked.
She could not believe it-the Slates’ residence was a standalone mansion, and there should have been
fire safety equipment installed when it was first built. Even if that failed, getting out should be no trouble
either since it was no high-rise building.
Zachary had no idea how it happened either. He was sleeping soundly, and he felt feeble when he
woke up, coughing from the thick smoke.
Since he was a doctor himself, he knew that something was wrong with his body, but he did not dwell
on it-he first carried Lulu out of the building, and he was burned when he returned for his mother.
“I’m not sure how the fire actually started, but the cops are on it,” he finished.
“Where’s Lulu? Why haven’t I seen her?” Irene asked.
“Don’t worry, she’s fine-she passed out from shock, but she’s still out. You should check on her later.
Try to comfort her in my place,” Zachary said.
“Passed out from shock?” Irene frowned.
Lulu was a forensic doctor who feared nothing even though she had to look at all forms of corpses
everyday.
And she somehow fainted from the fire?
The Lulu she knew was no scaredy cat and she would calmly face any dangerous situation.
Saying that she would pass out from shock was hardly believable, or did amnesia really change a
person?
Seeing that Irene was spacing out, Zachary asked, “What’s in your mind?”
Irene came to her senses just then and said, “Nothing.”
“Okay. You should get some rest-you need it, especially after your surgery, ” Zachary told her.
Irene did not feel sleepy at all. “I’ll check on Lulu first before I go home.”
“How about I ask for an extra bed? You could sleep while you wait,” Zachary suggested.
“It’s fine.’ Irene turned him down. “I’ll stay here for a bit and leave right after I check on Lulu.”
Zachary got out of his bed just then.
“Where are you going?” Irene asked.
To check on my mom,” Zachary replied.
After he got Lulu out of harm’s way, the fire reached his mother before he returned for her.
In fact, his mother was seriously hurt among them-he had to check on her, or he would be too worried
to sleep.
Irene nodded. “Yeah, you should go.”
Half an hour later, Lulu finally regained consciousness, and Irene went to visit her!
