The Runaway Groom
Chapter 767

Chapter 767

While everyone was caught off guard, Irene ran forward and lay Dennis flatly on his back, then barked at Finn to get an oxygen mask while punching Dennis in the heart.

It was an emergency resuscitation technique, using the jolt of the impact to restore the heart's regular rhythm.

Dennis's sudden suffocation was due to his malignant ventricular arrhythmia, stopping his heart and causing loss of breath.

Finn soon returned with the oxygen mask, which Irene put over Dennis's face while continuing to massage his heart.

The process lasted for five minutes until Dennis's heart rate returned to normal and his breathing turned smooth again.

He was fortunate that help reached him in time.

Helping him sit up, Irene asked, "Do you feel better?"

Dennis nodded. "Much better."

"Director..."

Everyone was watching him worriedly.

Although they were working at a research center, they were all well- versed in the medical field, and Dennis's symptom was enough for them to tell that it was something serious.

Still, there were many conditions that led to abrupt loss of breath, so they could not nail down which it was precisely. Getting to his feet, Dennis waved them off. "Oh, I'm really not the strapping youth I once was..."

"You're sick, sir," Finn said.

Everyone else agreed. "You have to tell us. Don't leave us hanging." The director sighed at their vocal concern. *1 didn't want to worry anyone, but fine. It's malignant ventricular arrhythmia.*

"Sir...?*

“That's enough, I'm fine,” Dennis said sternly-he never told anyone because he did not want them to worry. "Anyway, I'm now announcing that I'm formally retiring, and Irene here will be your director. Please give her your support so that I have peace of mind, or I don't think I could leave this place in peace.”

"We will,* Finn spoke up first once again.

Everyone agreed. "Don't worry, sir. We will do our best to help Director Spencer and develop the best artificial heart there is.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was the assurance Dennis needed.

"Good. You're all good people," he said, and added since he was in a good mood, “Lunch is on me."

"Actually, I'll pass,” Irene said.

"What? You're the main event...*

"I just read this paper about recurring issues in the pump,” Irene replied. "The issue is the sheet was made too thick, and should be decreased from the current standard of 0.05 mm to 0.03 mm. I was just going to speak with the head of robotics about that.”

"But isn't 0.05 mm the limit?"

Irene naturally knew that it was difficult, which was why she wanted to discuss it with the head of robotics for options.

“You're all in for a good time now. She's a real workaholic.*

“Let's learn from her example.”

Everyone was certainly impressed by Irene’s ability to react and passion for her work.

Dennis clasped her hands behind his back. "In that case, you should all go back to work, and do your best. I'll be going now.”

“I'l walk with you,’ Irene said.

In fact, everyone did and soon returned to work.

Time seemed to fly as Irene had her discussion with Professor Novsky, the head of robotics.

She started to glance at her watch repeatedly around 5.30 PM-Isaac had told her to leave work early, since he would be there to get her. That was why she decided not to work overtime.

"Alright, let's stop here for today," she suddenly said.

"Sure. I'll reread the data, see if we can reach 0.03 mm."

"Good."

She was not in coveralls since she did not enter a lab, and she left work after briefly cleaning up her materials.

Isaac, who had already arrived and parked his car outside the building, wound down the window when he saw her step outside.

Irene hurried when she saw that chiseled, handsome face. * When did you arrive? You could've called me.’

"Didn't want to disturb you," he replied.

Irene got in. "Were you waiting for long?"

"Not really," he said, and reminded her, “Seatbelt.”

However, they were about to drive away when Irene spotted Seth, still prone on the ground.

It must have been half a day!

"Stop," she called out to Isaac before lowering the window and calling out to Eagle, who quickly walked up to her.

"Did you kill him?" she asked.
