The Runaway Groom

Chapter 290

Chapter 290

A nurse came in with fresh bandages and other medicine, holding a tray in one hand as she opened the door with

the other.

Irene was utterly embarrassed when she heard the nurse come in, and buried her face in Isaac’s chest.

The nurse naturally did not expect to catch them at such an awkward moment either, and was left freezing up at

the doorway, unsure if she should enter or leave.

Isaac turned around and leveled a cold glare at the nurse. “Out.”

Coming to her senses and realizing that she did not knock, the nurse quickly closed the door behind her, patting her

chest to calm herself.

Isaac’s glare was so cold it could freeze her blood!

However, Irene pushed him off shyly inside. She refrained from doing it too forcefully since he was hurt, and it

looked just like a love tap. “See? She saw us. This is so embarrassing.”

“We’re married.” Isaac got up, straightening her wrinkled collar.

Irene smiled at the tender man on top of herself.

The nurse was still there when they stepped out, and Irene told her, “Just leave everything on the table inside. I can

do it for him.”

“Okay,” the nurse said, did as she was told and left.

She was traumatized by Isaac’s glare-even if he was really good-looking, she was too afraid to let her stare linger!

Later, both Isaac and Irene arrived at Ricky’s ward, where Sheryl was helping him drink.

Ricky greeted Irene the instant she saw her, and gave her a pleading look as if asking her not to tell Sheryl what

happened-Sheryl would not be this nice if she knew, not to mention that she and Irene were Ricky’s only family now.

To Ricky’s relief, Irene nodded, gesturing that she would not tell Sheryl.

Sheryl noticed their exchange since she was looking at Isaac, and then disapprovingly at her own. daughter. “He’s

hurt and should be resting. Don’t you know how to care for a patient? Hurry, Isaac, go sit on that couch.”

While Irene was left speechless, Isaac insisted, “I’m fine.”

“No, you’re not,” Sheryl said. “And you should be resting.”

Issac pursed his lips, his gaze darkening even as Sheryl gestured for Irene to make him sit.

At the same time, Irene whispered to him quietly so that only both of them could hear, “I think Mom appreciates

having you as her son-in-law.”

Isaac held her gaze. “Who wouldn’t appreciate someone as outstanding as me?”

Irene was left speechless. How narcissistic could he get?

However, it was not the time for that. Turning toward Ricky, she asked, “Did you see that person’s face?”

“I did not,” Ricky replied. “She kept her back to me and she was dressed like a man, but I have the feeling that she’s

a woman from her figure and the way she’s dressed, even though I never saw her face. She must have put on a

disguise to fool me.”

“A woman?” Irene was not actually surprised, and immediately thought of Robin Lynd and Kathy York.

Isaac said nothing, although he appeared pensive.

“I have an idea,” Ricky said just then.

“What is it?” Irene asked.

Ricky glanced at Isaac and said, “Let’s keep this between us.”

Irene noticed that he did not want Isaac to know, so she walked up to Ricky’s bed. “Tell me.” Ricky beckoned for her

to get closer..
