The Runaway Groom Chapter 841
Although Irene had an idea what it might be, she asked, “What is it? Is the director’s condition improving?”
Ray nodded. “Yes—in fact, he just woke up, and they just sent him for a checkup.”
Irene flinched a little in surprise.
Dennis Turner woke up—he woke up!
That meant she saved him!
Though she wanted to laugh, she could not.
Everything that happened over the last few days—from the misunderstanding, to being taken to court—had taken
its toll on her!
But now, she finally had hope!
Nonetheless, Ray told her, “I’ve taken a look at him already. He’s doing fine—there probably won’t be any issues.”
Irene smiled and nodded, but she was not relieved—not until she saw Dennis with her own eyes.
Ray seemed to read her mind. He said, “Think positive. He’s awake, and that means your problems are over, just

That certainly was the case—they would not be harassing her relentlessly after this.
“Yeah,” Irene said. “You should go back to work. I’ll be waiting here for a while… Also, thank you so much. You’ve
really helped me a lot all this while.”
“It’s fine.” Ray waved her off. “Saving patients is our obligation as doctors. Just wait here—I’ll go in for a look.”
“Okay,” Irene said, and she waited at the bench outside while Ray headed inside the examination room.
She received a call as they waited from the court.
It turned out that not only had Neil Turner refused to withdraw his case, but he was now also suing her for
extortion!
Irene’s heart sank—she did not expect them to renege on their agreement!
Still, she came to realize something after this incident.
Not everyone was capable of being nice. In fact, they were simply unreasonable!
“Understood,” she flatly said and hung up.
However, she did not call Isaac—the matter was utterly resolved now that Dennis had woken up.
Neil was notified by the hospital about that as well, and had rushed to the hospital.
Still, he paused when he saw Irene and glared at her hostilely. “You’re despicable!”
Irene heard him and looked up, pursing her lips when she saw who it was.
She said nothing, since she had nothing to be said with someone like Neil.
Even so, she could not understand.
How did someone as kind as understanding as Dennis get a stubborn son like Neil, who could not even keep his
word?
How did he even make it in society?
Neil in turn continued as Irene stared silent, “Did you think I’d be helpless after you set me up?”
Irene frowned and shot him a cool look. “And did you do it without help?”
Though Neil was stumped for a moment, his neck straightened. “I’m smart enough to trick you by asking for a
deal.”
Irene laughed jovially. “Smart? You meant you broke an agreement, just like a common crook?”
“What did you say?!” he growled and glared at Irene viciously as he started to lose face.

“This lawsuit will end with you sentenced, Irene Spencer!” Neil snorted, huffing and puffing without any bearing of a
gentleman—more like some loudmouthed thug!
The door to the examination opened then, and Dennis was wheeled out.
He saw Irene immediately.
“Come here,” he said, not bothered to look at his own son.
Irene walked toward him, though she kept a pace’s distance instead of getting too close and asked softly, “How are
you feeling?”
Dennis said, “I feel spirited and physically healthy. It’s all thanks to you—”
“Dad!” Neil cut him short, and ran over to give him a hug. “You’re really awake! I was so scared when you were
unconscious!”
Dennis, however, pushed him away. “Withdraw the lawsuit right now. Stop embarrassing me!”
Ray had told Dennis everything while he had his examination, and Dennis certainly wanted his son to withdraw the
lawsuit and stop harassing Irene.
Neil did a double take and wheeled on Irene right then. “You told him?!”
