The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1017

Irene looked up to see Stan helping Isaac into the room.

She quickly put down her phone and walked up to help Isaac, taking him off Stan's hand.

"What did the doctor say?" she asked.

"He's recovering well," Stan said.

Irene happily forgot about Lulu, all her focus placed on Isaac just then. The blindfold over his eyes was already taken off—he could not see entirely, and most things were just a blur.

Still, the doctor explained that she just had to recover a few days for a full recovery.

Irene happily said, "It's been a while since I've arrived. Tommy just called last night, asking when I'm going home—we can both go home once you're better."

"Yeah," Isaac replied.

However, Irene was concerned.

While Zachary was on hand to care for home before, Zachary's focus would be placed completely on Jean.

Stan was here at Minerva with them, and James Cross came over with Erin Gooding while also being wounded.

There was only Eagle back home, but she was more or less worried with two children at home, and she would like to go home soon.

"Was I being capricious?" she asked Isaac—coming when she wanted without making arrangements for the children.

Isaac told her not to dwell on it, since they would be home soon anyway.

They faced no problems, and nothing would happen.

However, Irene was traumatized—each time something happened, they were just a hair's breadth away from danger.

The last time was no exception, and she felt traumatized whenever she saw Isaac's eyes and was profoundly in fear of further danger.

"What do you want to eat? Shall I take you there?" Isaac asked, trying to ease her mind on purpose.

Irene leaned into his chest. “I won't know where to go. You can make the arrangements.”

As such, Isaac took her to a nice restaurant outside, her mood relaxing in Isaac's company.

Over in Franconia, Zachary was staying with the children at the castle, in the company of Mrs. Watson and Sheryl.

Naturally, he had asked Sheryl for pointers on how to raise the children, though Sheryl was laughing when he suddenly brought Jean home. "How did you get a child when you're not married?"

Zachary smiled. "By accident.”

"So you just want the child, not the mother?" Sheryl asked, since she was oblivious that the child was Lulu's.

Zachary's face fell right then, and Sheryl, realizing that she had misspoken, quickly tried to change the subject. "How old is she?" "Three months." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Sheryl stared at Jean emotionally. "Ours are all boys. Would have been nice to have a baby girl too."

Tommy was watching them as he lay on his belly, asking, “Is she my sister?"

"She can be,” Zachary said. "But remember, she's different from your baby brother because she's not related to you by blood."

"What's the difference?" Tommy asked in curiosity.

While both Sheryl and Zachary were left speechless, Mrs. Watson said, “That means you can marry her when you're older."

Tommy could understand that and snapped, “I'm just a kid."

And with that, he ran off to look for Eagle, who was going to teach him to shoot.

Zachary was left at a loss. "What does he mean? He's not interested in my baby girl?"

"Wait, you're really going to betrothe them?" Sheryl asked. "Well, it's fine if Tommy isn't interested—there's still Baby!"

Zachary was speechless. Jean was his baby girl too!

He would never allow her to be passed between the brothers like some object!

“I'll pick my future son-in-law carefully,” he declared.
