The Runaway Groom Chapter 114


    Chapter 114


    The doctor did not answer immediately, and instead asked, “Is your family with you?”


    Samantha, who had been standing at a corner, promptly replied, “I’m his wife.”


    Like any other human being, Samantha yearned dearly for the one thing shecked. While she was


    just a mistress, she certainly would never miss a chance to introduce herself as Mrs. Spencer out in the


    open!


    “Is my husband alright, doctor?” she asked then.


    “No, there’s no need for worry,” the doctor replied “Anyway, I’ll be writing a receipt for you, Mr. Spencer.


    There’s another test you should take ”


    After writing on a piece of paper and passing it to Lionel Spencer, the doctor said, “You can go now.


    Your wife can stay.”


    Lionel, however, could tell that the doctor was trying to send him out of the room. “Just be honest with


    me, doctor,” he said. “There’s no need to lude anything from me I’m prepared for the worst.”


    The doctor stayed awkwardly silent for a moment, and said, “Very well.


    “He read through the reports again, and finally told Lionel, “You have a malignant brain tumor.


    Despite having prepared himself mentally, Lionel almost fell off his chair from sheer shock, his knuckles


    balling into fists on hisp just then.


    Samantha naturally lostposure as well, since Lionel was basically her sugar daddy. “It’s just a


    cough, doctor! How could it be a brain tumor? Could there have been a mistake?”


    “It’s probably metastasizing,” the doctor replied. “The dry cough is a symptom that it’s moved to the


    throat and lungs.”


    “There must be a mistake!” Samantha snapped.


    Lionel did not have it in him to flip out just then. “Please, leave us.’


    Samantha, however, seemed to not hear him. “Let’s go to another hospital. This ce is full of quack


    doctors! You’re just fine, there must be a mistake”


    “That’s enough!” Lionel barked, his ire getting to him.


    He was already in a bad mood, but she just had to keep yapping!


    Samantha reluctantly turned quiet.


    Feeling chagrined, Lionel said, “Sorry about that, doctor.”


    The doctor waved him off-he certainly understood, and there were other patients whose family


    members reacted worse.


    “How… How long do I have left?” Lionel asked even as he worked hard to keep himself together.


    In the end, everyone is inevitably afraid to die, and few have ever faced death with grace and


    fearlessness.


    “We will require further tests,” the doctor replied. “You should get admitted now if possible.”


    “I will think about it…” Lionel mumbled.


    “Of course,” the doctor said, and handed him his reports. “Of course, you can have further tests at


    another hospital if you want.”


    Lionel appeared deted and took the folder quietly, got up, and left.


    Samantha followed him, saying, “We should consult another hospital… They might have messed up


    here.”

    It only served to annoy Lionel, who just wanted peace and quiet, only for her to keep prattling on!


    “Just shut up if you don’t want me to die!” he growled.


    “But I’m doing this for your own good,” Samanthained softly.


    Lionel was not bothered with her just then-he did not even have the strength to speak after finding out


    about his sickness.


    Meanwhile, Irene had returned to the mansion.


    However, the men Stan brought with him were still around, standing guard outside the mansion to stop


    her from escaping.


    It was basically a house arrest thatsted over a month.


    In that time, Isaac never showed up, and she never had contact with the outside world. Cut off from all


    outside contact, she had to idle her days away.


    On the other hand, Harvey was not that lucky.


    Isaac was furious, but since he could not vent it at Irene, Harvey had to take the brunt of it.


    Heunched a campaign to sabotage all projects Gooding Enterprises had, and did not care if it hurt


    his checkbook!


    Harvey was left on the verge of bankruptcy, and news of hispany’s unstoppable decline kept


    making headlines!


    With all their projects basically killed off, Harvey finally caved to the pressure and sought out Isaac,


    exining that there was nothing between him and Irene-they were just putting up an act to upset him.


    His words were: “I just wanted to annoy you, and Irene wants to divorce you. It was just amon


    goal, and we agreed to pretend as if we are in a rtionship! There is actually nothing between us at


    all!”


    Irene finally found out when Isaac showed up at the mansion again.
