The Runaway Groom Chapter 230


    Chapter 230


    As the sirens approached, the gamblers who had been entranced heard it and ran out of the


    containers, and


    swarmed toward Ian when they saw him.


    “Why are the coast guarding?” they demanded.


    They knew that they were involved in a crime, and they were naturally worried about getting caught.


    “Just shut up if you don’t want to get caught,” Ian


    growled angrily, and carved a path through the crowd as he made his way to Isaac. “Things won’t end


    well for you once word of this gets out. Don’t forget–I’m your family. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the


    reputation of the


    illustrious Jefferson dynasty?”


    Though he owned this illegal casino, everyone knew who


    he was!


    If he was indicted and once word got out, Isaac would not fare any better?


    Isaac remained indifferent, his lips curling up with


    disdain and callousness. “What does that have to do with


    me?”


    He might be a Jefferson, but after seeing that Henry hade aboard without lifting a finger to save


    Irene or his child, he no longer had any qualms!


    From now on, he would protect his real family–Irene and Tommy deserved all his attention.


    Soon, the cargo ship was surrounded, and the ring sirens left many hearts pounding!


    Fearing arrest, the crowd was in an uproar as panic and guilt seized them.


    Stan and his men cleared a path, while Isaac left with Irene and Tommy on another boat.


    “I’m leaving this to you. Don’t disappoint me,” Isaac growled with a solemn look.


    Stan’s recent performance had been subpar and Isaac had. been meaning to straighten him out.


    Stan was naturally aware, and said, “Don’t worry, sir.”


    He would do his best this time.


    Isaac trusted him too, and naturally would not give up on him so quickly–everyone deserved a second


    chance.


    “Leave no stone unturned. I could tell that those men


    have dirtyundry, and I don’t want them out and about again,” Isaac added. “Understand?”


    “Yes–anyone whoid a finger on Mrs. Jefferson will be punished.”

    Stan was certainly smart. Isaac was being deliberately


    vague, but he understood anyway. Still, it was to be expected after he served the man so long, and


    gained an intimate understanding of how he thought.


    He even knew how to address Irene to suit Isaac’s mood!


    “Get it done,” Isaac said tly, and Stan returned to the cargo ship with his men.


    Isaac then headed above the deck and told the crew to


    bring the boat ashore.


    As the boat sailed steadily over the sea’s surface, Irene’s


    heart was still strung up, unable to rx.


    She feared that harm hade to Tommy.


    On the other hand, Isaac hesitated for a long while, but could not bring himself to ask her to let him


    hold Tommy.


    At the moment, it seemed that Irene would not let go of


    2


    the baby–she just seemed so anxious, and words of


    “I won’t let any dangere to you ever again,” he said


    quietly, his eyes fixed on Tommy.


    The boy looks so much like himself…


    Irene did not look up, but she replied, “Thank you.”


    Isaac understood how she felt.


    Once they made port and Irene carried Tommy from the boat, he said, “Can we go to the hospital? I


    want to get Tommy checked.”


    “I’ll take you there,” Isaac said.


    “Okay,” she replied, and got into his car.


    His phone suddenly started ringing–it was a call from Moneypenny, who told him that Henry wanted to


    see him.


    “Got it,” he replied, and hung up.


    He did not head to the Jefferson Manor, however, and


    instead brought Irene straight to the hospital.


    “You can leave me if you’re busy. I just need Jimmy with


    me.”


    “It’s nothing urgent,” Isaac said.


    No matter who was asking for him now or what situation needed his attention, nothing was more


    important than the safety of his child.


    In fact, Tommy had better be safe, or he would hold


    everyone responsible–even Henry!


    Soon, they arrived at the hospital.


    Once the car stopped, Isaac alighted first, and opened the door for Irene, walking with her as she


    carried Tommy


    out of the car.


    The examination soon concluded that the boy was fine-


    Ian did not overdose him.


    “Wargh-


    11


    Tommy suddenly started crying from hunger.


    “What is this?!”


    Isaac, however, quickly became anxious and presumed that the doctor had made some mistake, and


    caused the baby difort.


    ring sharply at the doctor, he growled, “What have


    2


    you done?!”


    Irene promptly tugged at his sleeve–it had nothing to do with the doctor. “Tommy is just hungry.”
