The Runaway Groom Chapter 912
Eagle’s gaze became evasive right then, but he soon composed himself. “Your mother asked me to bring it to you.”
As Irene took it, she asked, “Why are you getting nervous? I wasn’t doubting you.”
“I’m not nervous, ma’am,” Eagle replied.
Irene, however, was clearly skeptical—he was clearly being antsy just now.
“Are you not used to this place yet?” she asked.
“…A little,” Eagle admitted.
“You’ll get used to it eventually,” Irene told him. “Just call me if something comes up.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Eagle replied, while Irene returned to the dining table.
This time, Sheryl did not force her to eat again and instead poured her a glass of water.
She took a sip when Pierre approached her, saying, “There’s someone here to see you, Mrs. Jefferson.”

“What are you doing here?” she asked in curiosity.
“James told me about what happened to Isaac,” he replied, his expression grim. “I came to help.”
As Irene nodded, Zachary asked, “Still no news yet?”
Irene shook her head. “James and I are prepared to survey the wreckage.”
“I’m coming along,” Zachary said right then.
Irene did not refuse, since she needed more people right now.
When James arrived, Irene spoke to Eagle and Pierre before leaving.
James had arranged a helicopter for them, since the wreckage was in Dunesia.
Driving would take too long, and this would save more time.
The helicopter they were riding fit four, which was just right for the pilot, Irene, James, and Zachary.
Even as the rotors turned deafeningly overhead, no one spoke throughout the journey as they were all silent.
Words were not needed before they found Isaac.
Zachary wanted to offer Irene some reassurance, but the right words simply would not come, and he kept quiet.

Over two hours later, the helicopter landed.
Standard plane flights would take just over an hour, but they needed to land directly on the edge of Bagoria, which
was further. There was also the speed difference in passenger flights and the helicopter.
The climate there was cold, but there were plenty of people.
Darcy’s Peak was the highest mountain of Dunesia, standing at almost 10,000 feet above sea level. Towering and
majestic, there were plenty of glacier lakes on the ridges, making it a favorite spot for hikers and tourists.
James had prepared windbreakers for the climate, and after getting off the helicopter, they headed to the
wreckage.
Dunesia’s search and rescue teams were already there, working alongside volunteers from the Zidonian embassy.

though they only found debris and no human remains.
There were supposed to be two pilots aboard, in addition to Stan Hill and Isaac.
One of James’s men approached them and reported, “Nothing yet.”
But there were no signs of them at all, let alone a corpse.
Irene remained at the foot of the mountain because there was a police line, and personnel not involved in the
search were barred from entering.
She did not even feel the chilly winds billowing. “Keep looking.”
As she had decided to personally join the search, James spoke to the police while Zachary stayed at Irene’s side.
There was no clear path up Darcy’s Peak, making traveling difficult, but fortunately the trees were sparse.
However, Irene noticed none of that as she strode ahead, not sparing a glance at the view that so many people
were enjoying.
No picturesque view could draw her attention now because her heart and mind were set on one person.
All she could hope for was to find Isaac soon, and she told herself that miracles could happen even in a plane crash!
“Mrs. Jefferson!” James was exclaiming as he suddenly ran up to them. “The Dunesians found someone!”
