The Runaway Groom
Chapter 405

Chapter 405

Irene turned around to find Whitney Cox and Chad Ross, with two bodyguards escorting them.

However, Harvey was already in a foul mood, and Whitney's mocking only irked him further.

“Mind your own business,” he snapped in retort.

Whitney's face fell right then. “Watch your mouth!”

“I could say the same to you,” Harvey fired back-he was just feeling very frustrated and had no place to vent, and naturally aimed his crosshairs on Whitney since she was clearly trying to mess with them. “What...” Whitney stammered.

She had been feeling frustrated after falling for Irene’s trap, especially since Chad became utterly disenchanted with her after learning that she had deliberately caused her own miscarriage.

Now, he offered her no leeway or freedom, and kept two bodyguards with her wherever she went, essentially keeping her under house arrest as well. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He also told her that she would regain her freedom after she got pregnant and delivered the child, and would not allow her to do anything before that-let alone help her..

It was only evident how much she had hurt him by aborting their child. Naturally, without her freedom and unable to do anything against Irene or Isaac, Whitney was not going to be nice now that she saw Irene. And yet, her attempt to throw shade at Irene was foiled, and she was left seething.

Glaring at Harvey, she snapped, “Look who's talking-you're just a lapdog, a bootlicker!”

Harvey chuckled coolly. “At least I'm not licking your boots.” Whitney's hands clenched into fists, just as Chad spoke.

However, he was just reminding her, “You're here for a checkup, not a fight.”

Nowadays, he was a lot less docile and obedient toward Whitney. Cowed-even a little scared-she turned quiet.

“Let's go,” Chad said. “It's time for your appointment.”

“Could we not come here again?” Whitney asked-she hated this place. Chad refused straightaway. “No. I'll keep tabs on your health until you deliver the baby.”

Whitney was fuming, but pursed her lips, afraid to argue or even let it show on her face.

As she left, she leveled glare of spite at Irene-the thought that Irene was the reason she lost her freedom and was used by Chad as if she was just a breeding tool left her seething.

“You did this. Just you wait.”

Irene simply ignored her-Whitney’s contempt for her was nothing new. With that, Chad left with Whitney, while Irene went back to work, leaving Harvey standing.

He watched as Irene left, and heaved a deep sigh.

Despondent, he returned to his mother's ward to get her discharged. Stephen did not give Irene much work to do for the door so that she could rest.

However, she was too restless to stop, and start to read the notes Stephen gave her-it was certainly useful, what with the preclinical experiences he gathered along with the mysterious symptoms he encountered over the years.

Bzzt-

Her phone suddenly started to ring.

Isaac?

She quickly checked, and felt a little disappointed when she saw that it was her mother.

As she answered it, Sheryl Harris asked over the other end, “Are you free tonight? Bring Tommy over if you can-I miss him.”

“Okay,” Irene replied.

“Also...” Sheryl paused for a while before adding, “Bring Isaac too. I'll try to cook more for him.”

The mention of Isaac left Irene hanging her head. “He's abroad for work...”

“Don't lie to me!” Sheryl snapped-she was once married too, and could tell immediately that there was something wrong with Irene’s tone!
