The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 243

Irene frowned worriedly. “I think I saw Ricky.”

Isaac turned towards where she was looking, but saw nothing. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Irene shook her head. “No.”

She couldn’t have been–it was obviously Ricky.

He sounded frantic when she called him today, and he

was acting all shady just now–something was clearly wrong with Ricky!

Nonetheless, Isaac put an arm around Irene’s shoulder and said, “I’ve told Stan to look into him. He’d have

something soon if Ricky really was messing around at Spencer Holdings. Come on, let’s go.”

Irene nodded, feeling gradually uneasy. Her foreboding feeling soon came true!

Stan discovered that Ricky was the one who leaked news about the casino ship.

“How could it be him?” Irene asked in disbelief. “He

should have no reason to do it…”

However, Ricky’s unusual behavior meant otherwise.

“Did you find anything else? Has he been up to anything recently?” Irene kept on asking Stan.

“I did, but there’s nothing unusual there,” Stan replied.

Irene frowned. “That’s weird…”

Bzzt-

Just then, Irene’s phone started to ring.

It had been taken from her when she boarded Ian’s casino ship, and she forgot to take it when she left since she was anxious to rush Tommy to the hospital.

Stan had recovered it for her.

The call turned out to be from Sheryl, and she sounded worried, “Irene, you have to come back. I think

something’s wrong with Tommy!”

“What happened?”

“I’m not sure, but he’s convulsing a lot. I’ve called an ambulance, but you really should come take a look.

“Okay,” Irene replied.

“Did something happen?” Isaac asked.

Irene had no idea what was happening yet, and since Isaac was busy with his family business, she didn’t tell him about Tommy. “It’s nothing. My mom just asked if I was going home soon… I thought I should since I’m not doing anything anyway.”

Smiling at Isaac, she said, “Okay, I’m going now. You should go about your business.”

“Should I still keep an eye on Ricky?” Stan asked.

Irene thought briefly about it. “No.”

If Stan couldn’t find anything, Ricky was either being wary–or it could have been nothing at all.

She certainly hoped for the latter to be the case. If Ricky was wary, they would find nothing anyway.

Perhaps she was being paranoid, too. Ricky had never been out of line. In fact, the boy had been doing well, and Sheryl told Irene that he was as frantic as she was when Irene was abducted; he even went as far as to go with Sheryl to demand Irene back from Harvey.

Samantha White was already jailed, and Irene wasn’t about to get into an argument with Ricky just because of her meager suspicions.

“I’ll ask Jimmy to give you a ride,” Isaac said.

“Okay,” Irene replied.

Once Irene reached the Spencer Mansion, the ambulance had long since arrived and had taken both Sheryl and Tommy to the hospital. As such, Irene had to head to the hospital.

“You should go back to the mansion,” she told Jimmy the chauffeur, and ran inside.

She headed straight to pediatrics, but did not see Sheryl or Tommy. Eventually, Irene found her mother at the clinical laboratory.

Rushing to her side, she called out, “Mom…!”

Sheryl seemed to find peace of mind right then. “Oh, Irene. You’re here.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She passed Tommy to Irene, and Irene saw the needle holes on his fingertips. “They were drawing blood samples?”

Sheryl nodded. “Pediatrics had no idea what’s happening to him, so they sent him here to get tested.“
