The Runaway Groom

Chapter 345

While Irene stared blankly at the woman who resembled Whitney Cox, the woman saw her as well.

She initially appeared surprised to see Irene, but soon spite showed in her eyes.

Irene had already noticed that the other woman had been looking at her funny before, and could not help frowning when she clearly saw that this time as well.

Why the hostility? They were not even acquainted. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chad spotted Irene as well just then, and quickly pulled her away, and whispered once they were out of earshot, “You're pregnant Payback can wait."

“Yeah,” she replied, but she clearly was not giving up.

Even so, she was now reliant on Chad and would never dare to go against him excessively.

In fact, she never wanted a child, and always used protection—but she got pregnant anyway.

Since Chad loved the child, she had to keep it, but was also determined to lose it if it became an obstacle to her revenge.

Meanwhile, after Irene helped another patient to get an ultrasound, she looked through the medical history of the journalist.”

It turned out that she was 21-year—old Lindsay Slate.

However, although she was not Whitney or of the same age, Irene found that woman unusual, especially in the way she looked at Irene. Irene knew must get to the bottom of this, but that means she would have to do her own investigating- she could not ask Isaac since he was still not done with his business.

It was 8 p.m. when she finally left work, and it was early for her. Still, she did not go home immediately, and instead made a copy of the file on Lindsay before heading to Spencer Mansion.

She was going to let Ricky Spencer look into the matter himself, but the instant she entered her old home, she found Lulu Adams applying disinfectant to Ricky's back.

Ricky was in worse condition than Isaac after that close shave with the bomb, and his hand only regained movement lately.

As Irene walked up to them, she joked, “You're a lucky boy, Ricky.” Ricky smiled awkwardly in return, and was actually afraid to look Irene in the eye—Lulu had been tending to his injuries since she started staying there over the last few days. He found out that Lulu and Irene were friends in medical school, which explains her skill and dexterity since she must be a doctor too.

Irene arched her back so that she whispered directly into Ricky's ear, and asked, “So? She's good, isn't she?”

While Ricky did not hesitate to nod, Irene continued, “Still, I think you're the only one living she attended to.”

Ricky suddenly felt the creeps from her words.

What was that supposed to mean? Was he the only one to survive Lulu’s treatment?

“What are you talking about?”

Irene straightened herself. “She didn't tell you?"

Ricky blinked. “Tell me what?"

“She's a forensic doctor who examines dead bodies. You're her only living patient.”

Ricky stared at Irene for two seconds before leaping off the couch, staring at Lulu and stammering, “Y- You work on dead bodies?”

Lulu nodded, but tried to make her job sound creepy in the knowledge that Irene was messing with Ricky.” You really are the first living patient I had. I've never attended to living people, and it is with these Hands that I hold my scalpel, cut into those stiff bodies, slicing through their chest...”

“Stop.” Ricky gulped, and stared at Lulu’s hands—they were pretty and fair, her joints pronounced...

But the thought that she cut dead people left him with goosebumps. “You girls are terrible.” Ricky pouted like a puppy, while Irene and Lulu giggled.

Then, seeing the folder Irene was holding, Lulu asked, “What's that?" Irene took a seat on the couch and was about to answer when a dark blur dropped in front of her, and she turned pale!
