The Runaway Groom
Chapter 478

Chapter 478

The mole had been pasted on the tip of Irene's nose and it started flapping about as she breathed, dangling and stopping short of detaching.

Isaac was staring at her, and she was close enough for him to smell the thick scent of makeup.

Frowning so much his brows almost met, he told her, “Your mole is falling off.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Irene quickly clasped a hand over her nose-she blinked her fake eyelashes even as Isaac kept staring at her.

"Don't tell me it's a fake mole to look pretty?" he asked.

Irene racked her brains, and said, "O-Of course not. I've been applying some ointment to remove it."

Plucking the fake mole off and holding it out to show Isaac, she said, "See? It totally dried up and fell off-"

Isaac growled, 'Keep that away from me."

Disgusting!

Irene smiled, took out a tissue, and rolled the mole into it before throwing it into a basket, then continued to apply the ointment on Isaac to curb his itch.

When she was done, she told him, "You have to wait until it dries before you sleep.”

“You're not leaving tonight," he said.

As he spoke, he entered his bedroom and shut his door behind him. What?!

But she was going to the hospital to find out how her bath salt got mixed up with the drug that caused oversensitive skin... Something fishy was clearly going on!

"Why?" she asked, knocking on the bedroom door.

"So that I can arrest you if it turns out that you were intentionally hurting me."

Irene was speechless-she had already made herself clear! How could he still doubt her?

'1 didn't mean to hurt you," she told him again, but Isaac ignored her. Having no choice, she lay down on the couch, feeling drowsy.

Isaac somehow fell asleep without her massage, whereas Irene was left toiling all the way until the morning.

By then, most of Isaac's rash had faded and stopped itching, so he finally let her go.

Still, Irene left some medication with James and told him to make sure that Issac applied it.

She was tired after a long night, and her face was pale.

Even so, her mind was clear-she got the medicinal bath salt from the hospital, and it had to be an insider who messed with it.

Word spread like wildfire that Irene might soon be fired, and everyone was left in an uproar as they speculated the reason.

"But, why? Everyone acknowledges that she's a great doctor..."

“True. Maybe she offended someone important?

"Probably. Why else would something like this happen out of the blue?" Irene was pretending to be dismayed as well—it was an act, to trick the people who set her up into believing that she really was going to be fired.

After all, people tended to expose themselves when they let down their guard.

She had her eyes on two of her rivals-Bob and Daisy-since the rest were attending physicians.

If anything happened to her at this juncture of their research, both of them stand to gain much.

As such, she decided to tail Bob.

He headed down to the basement parking lot, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood beside his car, looking like he was waiting for someone.

Irene kept an eye on him from afar, and that was when she saw someone else arriving.

It was Daisy!

Irene was left gaping. Both of them were working together to set her up?

As they got in the car and left, Irene got into Jeff Cartman's car which was waiting in the basement parking lot as well, saying, "Follow them." “I know," Jeff replied-Irene had asked him for help before, and they tracked her rivals’ car all the way to a large house, where they both alighted and got inside.

They appeared intimate, and Jeff mused, "Are they a couple?"

Irene was curious too, and the possibility could not be discounted. Bob and Daisy were in the same age group and were said to have graduated from the same medical school as well.

Still, they were rarely in touch at the hospital.

Irene whispered, “Let's get to a window-see if we can get a closer look."

Jeff nodded-most houses in Minerva stood alone, and they circled around to a window at the backyard, and peered into the living room. Bob was sitting on the couch with Daisy in his arms. "Jane Tanner is dead meat. Guess the next promotion is either you or me."

"Oh, you can take it-just make sure I get the next one. But if I get it, I'll make sure you get the next one too... Let's get married when we're both promoted to attending physicians,” Daisy cooed as she leaned into Bob's arms.

"Yeah," Bob murmured as he brushed his fingers through her hair. 'We're lucky you caught wind that the Zidonian patient had acquired Mead Clinic shares-and from the Raideen family, no less. Now that Jane upsetted him, it's all over for her."
