The Runaway Groom -
Chapter 552
Chapter 552
Isaac had to coax Tommy with his toys before the boy finally let go, and Sheryl scooped him up in her arms. "Come in already."
"Yeah," Isaac replied, and headed to the bedroom with a hand around Irene’s shoulder.
Once he closed the door behind himself, he swiftly gathered her in his arms, knowing that she was saddened that Tommy had grown distant to her.
“I know you love him, and how difficult it was for you to keep him back then. He loves you, but he needs time to remember since you've been gone for a while."
Irene knew that, but she just could not help feeling despondent, so Isaac had to gently pat her on the back.
After a while and her mood improved, Isaac let go and said, "I'm getting a bath ready."
He headed inside the bathroom, prepared a tub full of hot water that filled the room with vapor.
Then, he helped her undress, but Irene caught his wrist. "I can do it myself- m
“I'l help,” he insisted, not because of libido, but only because he wanted to take care of her.
It had just been three days since her C-section, and she was not supposed to come into contact with water.
Isaac soaked a towel to rub her body, gently and meticulously, and
when that was done, he applied ointment to her scar and helped her
put on the pajamas Sheryl prepared for her.
Once that was done, Isaac took a quick shower, changed into fresh clothes, and followed her downstairs.
After a brief moment of respite, everyone had calmed down.
Sheryl had Tommy sit beside Irene, beside the table full of piping hot food.
Ladling a bow! full of steaming soup for Irene, Sheryl said, "Here. This will keep you warm."
"Yeah," Irene said, holding it with both hands and taking small sips. She really did feel warmer.
After that, she started to put food on Tommy's little plate,
He was sitting in his highchair, able to eat on his own without help. The food Irene gave was his favorite, and he would scoop everything with his tiny spoon into his mouth, and Irene felt her heart sing even as she watched.
Once dinner was over, Sheryl urged her to return to her room, since she was still in her postpartum stage and needed to be careful.
Irene did so, returning to her room with Isaac since Sheryl and Mrs. Watson would clean up after them.
Still, she kept standing since she just ate, and asked, "Where's James Cross?"
After all, she had only seen Debbie the secretary but not James. Isaac's expression changed slightly just then. "He... He's incapacitated.”
It's rare to see him being cagey, so Irene pressed, "What happened?” "He had an accident,” Isaac admitted-he would rather not mention it since it was terrible. "He's now in a vegetative state.”
What?!
Irene was at once shocked and heartbroken.
How did that happen to James?
“Its fine-don't worry about it. You should be resting.” Isaac pulled up a blanket and laid her down while saying, "Im going to check on him now.”
irene nodded, since it was the least Isaac could do. "Yeah."
still, she suddenly remembered something as she lay down, and she called out to him. "Isaac..."
