The Runaway Groom
Chapter 814

However, Irene quickly noticed the man's resemblance to Dennis and thought right then that the man was his son.

Finn gave Irene a look, hinting that they should go because Neil Turner appeared agitated.

He was certainly worried that Neil would say something that upset Irene, since she was not Dennis's family and had no authority to sign the consent forms for the surgery.

It would be ideal if the surgery was a success, since Dennis's family had no issue to pursue and they would even be grateful to Irene.

But if Dennis died, they would have every reason to pursue responsibility.

Irene was not about to hide, however.

Whatever happened had happened, and she did what she did—hiding would not solve anything.

Neil stormed toward them with a furious glare. "Who do you think you are? You have no right to give the surgery a green light."

"Director Turner was in danger. There was no time to think," Irene explained.

"That still doesn't give you the right to decide for my father,” he growled sharply. "Not when you have no familial connection to him. You have my thanks if he's alright, but if anything bad happens, it's on you! Where is he now?"

"He's placed in the ICU after surgery,” Irene said. "You're not allowed to see him for now."

Neil started glaring again. "What? The ICU? How bad is he doing?!" Ray had just left the operating room then, and he helped Irene out of the bind. "The surgery was a success. We just have to wait and see if the patient goes through the next 48 hours without issues.”

"Fine, I will believe that my father is fine for now."

The other employees of Hotmesh Research knew Neil.

All of them assured him that Irene meant no harm to Dennis, and that the surgery was performed without Neil's family's consent because he was facing serious risk. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Since they spoke on Irene's behalf, Neil did not pursue the issue further for the time being.

Finn then leaned in to whisper into Irene's ear, "Our own people contacted Director Turner's family, since we shouldn't hide it from them.”

Irene naturally knew that, and she therefore did not blame anyone or argue.

In fact, she knew very well that Neil was upset because she had disregarded the procedure.

Ray told Irene then, "You must be worn out after the surgery. You should get some rest—I've spoken to ICU, and they'll contact me if anything comes up.”

"Thank you," Irene said, turning toward him then and whipping out her phone. “You can have my number. Give me a shout if there's something.”

"Okay," Ray replied.

After getting Ray's number, she put away her phone and told Finn, “I won't be going back to Hotmesh Research. Just call me if there are any problems.”

"Okay," Finn replied.

Irene glanced at Neil then, who was still surrounded by Hotmesh employees.

She was pleased to hear that everyone was speaking on her behalf— no matter what happened, she now had their confidence.

She turned away and headed out then.

Eagle, who was waiting outside, opened the car door for her when he saw her arrive.

Getting inside, she said, "Home."

"Yes, ma'am,” Eagle said and he went to the driver's seat.

At the same time, Irene closed her eyes from exhaustion.

Lulu Adams and Martin York got married, though there was no grand ceremony.

They simply put together a small feast, inviting friends and family. Lulu was dressed in white while Martin looked imposing in his military uniform.

They were formally wed amid the blessings of friends and family.

As they retired for the night, Martin handed her a chest.

She opened it and was stunned when she saw what was inside!
