The Runaway Groom
Chapter 597

Chapter 597

Isaac walked up to Irene and gently gathered her into his arm, asking quietly, "What's on your mind?"

Irene actually thought that he had left, but it turned out that he was waiting for her.

"Aren“t you a bold one? Not worried that Debbie would see you?" she asked.

Isaac was still holding her as they got in his car. "She's going to be busy.”

Meanwhile, Debbie the secretary was trying on a bridal gown at a boutique and reveling in the joy of it.

After all, Isaac had personally ordered it tailor made for her, and she now believed that he was now seeing her as a woman, even accepting her.

She expressly brought the set of diamond jewelry, virtually parading it to the looks of envy of everyone around her.

“It really suits you," the assistant at the boutique flattered.

Having put on the bridal gown and the diamond jewelry set, Debbie admired her own reflection in the mirror and grinned broadly at the assistant's words. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She could not help feeling buoyed-she enjoyed this feeling of being served and fawned over.

Meanwhile, the assistant was still showering her flattery. “Also, shouldn't we address you as Mrs. Jefferson now?"

Debbie's grin broadened further, but she said, “Not yet-that could wait until after our wedding.”

"But the bridal gown is ready. Shouldn't it be soon?" the assistant asked.

Debbie lifted a brow and said proudly, "Of course."

"Congratulations!" the assistant exclaimed.

Debbie reared her chin proudly and smugly-all her schemes and hard work had certainly paid off!

Meanwhile, Irene was lounging lazily in Isaac's car.

She was already worn out, and the surgery left her further exhausted. "Does Debbie know that you rescued Ricky?"

"No," Isaac replied with a cold look. "She would already be dead if we had the antidote for Tommy."

Irene turned to look at him then, holding his hand as she said, "The antidote for Tommy is at the testing phase at the moment. It can be administered once testing is completed with no observable side effects.”

There was a flash in Isaac's eyes, and he suddenly drove to the side of the road and stopped the car.

"Why are we stopping—"

Before Irene could finish, she was pulled firmly into a tight, warm embrace.

Irene did a double take as Isaac wrapped himself around her, and as she breathed in his familiar scent, her body relaxed as she leaned against him.

Blinking, she softly said, "It's going to be alright.”

Tommy would recover, and they would find their lost child-she was the voice of that.

Isaac brushed his cheek against hers.

It was the first time he found such assurance in life.

He looked at her then-a woman only in her twenties who could endure more than he could.

That scrawny frame seemed to carry boundless power.

She was as strong as she was brave, and calm in a crisis.

There were countless things that made her sparkle, and each of them made her mesmerized.

"Tell me immediately when Tommy's antidote is ready.”

He had been searching for it, but he got nothing-Debbie's years spent working for him were certainly well spent, and she learned a lot.

Now, he knew that it was unlikely to find the antidote from Debbie. "Okay," Irene said softly.

"I didn't expect this day to come," Isaac said, laughing at himself self- deprecatingly, “that I'd be helpless and need you to bail me out." Irene raised her hands, worming them around his waist. "Don't you feel blessed that you married me now?"

Isaac flashed a rare smile and quietly said, "Yes. Must have burned through ten lifetimes worth of blessings too."

They looked into each other's eyes then.

Though Irene lost considerable weight, her eyes were still bright as ever.
