The Runaway Groom
Chapter 350

Chapter 350

Irene was left stunned for seconds, before coming to her senses and firmly pushed Harvey away, snapping angrily, “Are you crazy?!”

Why did he suddenly wrap his arms around her? Who did he take her for?

However, because she had her back to him, she could not see the reaction on the other man’s face—he could only see Harvey smirking despicably.

“Sorry.” Harvey then quietly apologized.

Irene glared at him. “Just agree to your mother’s surgery already.” With that, she returned inside Melville Hospital through the back door, never looking back as she did—or she would have noticed Isaac glowering.

Harvey naturally did that on purpose when he saw Isaac there, and hugged Irene to annoy Isaac.

After all, Harvey never managed to get the better of Isaac, and just wanted to annoy him a little just then. Naturally, Isaac's glower left Harvey feeling cathartic, and the latter smiled for the first time since his mother was taken ill. Even then, he pretended to be sympathetic and told Isaac, “Don’t misunderstand- I'm here because my mother was just hospitalized, and Irene was just trying to reassure me. You're not going to be that petty that you'd be upset, right?”

Beside them, seeing how Harvey was in need of a beating just then, Stan raised a fist right then.

Nonetheless, Isaac raised a hand to stop him. “You'd just cheapen yourself.”

Stan lowered his hand then and snorted. “Audacious, aren't you? You know she’s married with a child, but you're still being so clingy. It has to be either because you've never met women, or there are issues with your upbringing... Or maybe that's how your momma has educated you? To mess around with married women?”

“What was that?!” Harvey scolded right then—he would never be this upset if Stan only mocked him...

But not his mother!

Stan, however, was not worried about upsetting him. “What, you couldn't hear? Are you deaf?”

Harvey promptly charged at him and grabbed his collar, growling furiously, “You asked for this.”

“Oh, yeah? You think you stand a chance?" Stan was not afraid at all, and actually looked as if he had already won-he had training, after all. Nonetheless, Harvey was not going to take it from him, and promptly launched a jab in his face.

He would be no man if he did not defend his mother’s honor!

Stan was actually surprised that Harvey would do it, but was only left stumped for seconds before retaliation.

As the two grown men wrestled, Isaac wrinkled his brow as he stood watching nearby. “Stan, we have work to do.”

In other words, they should not be wasting time on something as inconsequential as this.

Stan quickly knocked Harvey to the floor right then—being born into privilege and leading a comfortable life, Harvey stood no chance in the first place anyway.

“Stay away from Irene Spencer,” he growled at Harvey. “She's Mr. Jefferson's wife.”

With that, he returned to Isaac, wiping his mouth as he explained, “I shouldn't have done that, but I just can’t stand him being smug.”

Isaac said nothing, since Stan was standing up for him.

They headed straight through the back door and went looking for Irene. She was drafting the surgical procedure as Stephen had told her to, and was absorbed in her computer as

she worked.

As such, she did not notice anyone at the door and only saw Isaac when he arrived before her table.*

“W-Why are you here?” She quickly flashed a smile even as she stood up in surprise. “Picking me up after work?"

“I want you to come with me overseas for a while,” Isaac said directly. He had actually come to tell her that he would be leaving for a while, and that she should stay with Tommy since it would be inconvenient bringing a baby along.

It was going to be a short trip anyway, but after learning that Harvey's mother was in this hospital and seeing Harvey hug her, Isaac wanted her to go with him.

However, Irene had not been working as a doctor for over a year, and just resumed her profession for days. Moreover, her department lacked manpower.

“Is this important?” she asked, not keen on taking time off. “I'm busy, and I might not be able to apply for time off anyway. Also, I just got this job, and I don’t want to leave a bad impression- sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Isaac suddenly cut her short. “I've told you before: I can get you a job at any hospital.”

Irene was irked by that attitude—the attitude as if he could get anything he wanted with his authority.

“I have my own ideals, Isaac, and not everything is about money or authority. Is that all there is in your world?"
