The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1050

Lulu felt uncomfortable along the journey to Minerva.

Even if she decided to go with it, she had no idea if she could really be properly treated there.

"You'll definitely get better,” Irene assured her. "And don't worry—no one will find out."

Lulu nodded as the plane began in descent.

Medical staff from the hospital were on hand to receive them, with Irene making the arrangements.

Although her social circle was not exactly huge, most of her acquaintances were involved in the medical field.

And with Isaac, Irene did not have to worry about money to get Lucas the best care.

Naturally, all the doctors and the treatment were first-class, and the plastic surgeon she got was incredibly accomplished. Irene certainly had to make an effort to reach out to him, and he was supposed to be on leave.

At the airport, they moved Lulu into an ambulance that took her straight to the hospital, with Irene keeping her company.

Before the surgeries, Lulu had a series of medical examinations, and Irene got a call from Tommy before the results came.

"Mommy, when are you coming home? Daddy and I miss you so much.”

“I'l be home soon,” Irene replied.

"When is that, Mommy?" Tommy pressed. "You said the same thing before, but it's been so long. Are you lying to me?"

Irene laughed. "How about I buy you a present when I get home?"

“I don't want anything but you. Are you going on a trip without me because I'm a burden?" Tommy complained.

Irene was left speechless.

Honestly, this child...

“No, I'm not," she said, coaxing her softly. "Be a good boy now, Tommy —I'll head home soon. I miss you too, believe me."

"Well, do you miss Daddy?" Tommy asked. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Irene frowned—that did not seem like something Tommy would say!

"Is there someone there with you, Tommy?" she asked.

Tommy blinked and turned toward Zachary, who had been telling him what to say.

Zachary waved him off, so he said, “There's no one with me."

"Really?" Irene asked, clearly skeptical.

"When are you coming home, Mommy? What are you doing out there? Daddy and I miss you so much..."

"Don't you have anything better to do, Zachary?" Erin snapped just then, striding toward Zachary as he told Tommy what to say. "Is it fun, a grown man like you tricking a child?"

"Oh, I'm just trying to find out what Irene’s been up to," Zachary replied. In truth, she was suspecting that Irene had gone looking for Lulu. After all, she had no reason to be away for so long when she did not have a job while her family was in Franconia.

And she had returned to Zidonia for a while. What could be taking so long over there?

Still, Irene heard everything from the other end and told Tommy to pass the phone to Zachary.

He took it since he was exposed, chuckling, “I'm just playing with your boy..."

"Save it," Irene snapped sternly. "I'm just settling some loose ends at work back at Zidonia. Be a bad influence on my son again and I'll be very upset.”

Zachary gave in. "Calm down. I won't teach him anything bad from now on, alright?"

“You'd better not. I'm asking Tommy once I get back, and I'll disown you if I find out that you were trying anything funny. Get your act straight if you still want my respect.”

"Okay." Zachary chuckled.

Seeing Lulu's doctor arrive just then, Irene said, "I still have work to do. I'll be going now."

Putting away her phone, she approached the doctor and asked, "How did the medical examination go?"
