The Runaway Groom Chapter 244


    Chapter 244


    Tommy was clearly ufortable in Irene’s hold. He


    was iling his arms around, and was choking with tears from time to time, but not crying out loud. It


    was obvious


    that he was sick.


    Irene kissed his cheek, her heart aching for him. “When did you notice that he was sick?”


    “Before I called you,” Sheryl replied.


    Irene nodded–all they could do is wait for the test


    results.


    In the meantime, Irene took Tommy to somece quiet, hoping that he would be morefortable with


    less people around.


    However, that didn’t seem to make things better for Tommy–he soon began to cry. Too young to put


    feelings to words, it was the only thing he could do.


    Knowing that he was in a bad condition, Irene told Sheryl, “I’ll get him checked. Wait here for theb


    results.”


    Sheryl nodded. “Okay. Go on.”


    Irene brought Tommy to the outpatient service–the


    only option left for her was to examine any possible cause


    of difort.


    While she waited, theb results were soon out, and


    Sheryl rushed to Irene with it.


    Irene took a look and scowled, because she knew what it


    meant.


    “Let me see,” the doctor said, and Irene gave it to him. “I see… There’s thispound called 2S,6R


    detected in the boy’s body. It’s what causes his convulsions.”


    Sheryl didn’t understand what he was saying, however, and pressed, “What’s that, doctor? How did he


    get sick?”


    “He’s not sick,” the doctor replied. “This chemicalpound has to be ingested-”


    “What?!” Sheryl eximed in shock and confusion. ”


    Tommy never took anything! Why would it be in his body?

    “I’m sorry, but it has to be ingested, and it’s not a


    mistakenly gave it to him.”


    Sheryl tried to argue, but Irene cut her short. “Mom, has


    anyone visited our home recently?”


    Sheryl thought about it and replied, “No. It’s just you,


    Isaac, and Ricky.”

    There was no way Irene or Isaac would hurt their own


    child. Sheryl wouldn’t do it either… Which made Ricky the


    only possibility.


    Could it really be him?


    Irene would’ve never suspected Rocky, but remembering all the things he had been up to recently


    made him a suspicious target.


    “Irene…”


    “Mom,” Irene cut Sheryl short again. “Don’t let Ricky near Tommy.”


    “Why?!” Sheryl asked, and soon came to a realization.” Does that mean he was hurting Tommy?”


    Irene only had her suspicions, however. s, she didn’t have evidence to form conclusions.


    “Just go home for now, Mom. Don’t tell Ricky about Tommy. Just say that I went looking for Isaac with


    him.”


    “Okay…” Sheryl didn’t understand what the doctor was saying or the nature of Tommy’s condition, and


    so asked,


    “Is this serious? Is that stuff going to hurt him?”


    Irene did not want her mother to worry, and so said, “It’s


    fine.”


    “Oh, that’s a relief,” Sheryl eximed.


    However, it wasn’t until she left that Irene let her feelings show.


    They were lucky they noticed early, or else…


    Even so, she couldn’t bear Tommy being hurt repeatedly.


    “I’ll have your baby admitted to the hospital,” the doctor


    said, to which Irene nodded.


    She and the doctor had been acquainted for quite a while, and he was eager to help her–such as


    getting Tommy admitted right this moment. After some discussion, they


    decided to start his medication as well. Since he was a


    baby, keeping him at a hospital would allow him to be treated in time should he get sick again.


    It was only until the evening that Tommy became quiet. He slept after having some form milk.


    That was when Irene’s phone suddenly started ringing. She immediately became wary when she heard


    the voice from the other end.
