The Runaway Groom Chapter 261


    Chapter 261


    As Isaac keptughing, Irene was left mystified. “What are youughing about? Me?”


    “No,” Isaac replied. “I’mughing at myself for falling for your dad’s ploy.”


    Irene was silent for a while, andughed as well when she


    came to a realization.


    “You like that about me?” she asked.


    “I do,” Isaac said,posing himself as he continued, ” And I like that it’s you.”


    Even if Irene knew none of that, he would have fallen for her anyway. Knowing that simply made her a


    more


    colorful personality.


    Irene naturally did not try to nitpick, since it was her either way.


    “She may have been foiled this time,” she said, returning the conversation to Robin. “There’s no telling


    what she’ll be up to next.”


    “I’ll have Stan keep an eye on the Jeffersons,” Isaac


    replied calmly and quietly-as if they didn’t matter to


    him.


    Irene knew she couldn’t be of help when it came to work. “I’ll do my best to not get in the way.”


    “Right, I should go to the hospital,” she added, since she had yet to check on Ricky. “I know you hate


    him because he poisoned Tommy, and I do too. But my father


    entrusted his care to me, so I can’t abandon him.”


    Isaac didn’t respond, but drove her to the hospital


    anyway.


    They soon arrived. Knowing that Isaac would not want to see Ricky, Irene said, “I might stay for a while.


    You should go.”


    Isaac certainly didn’t want to see Ricky, and so said, “I’ll tell Jimmy toe take you home.”


    “Okay,” Irene replied, and stayed at the entrance, watching as Isaac drove off before heading inside.


    Irene called Sheryl, and quickly found Ricky’s ward. When she entered and found him lying in bed, she


    saw that his face was still swollen, his right eye purple, and his arms and feet were all bandaged.


    Irene certainly knows Isaac’s methods-she was once his victim, after all.


    “How are you feeling?” she asked.


    He was awake, and when he saw her, he quickly asked, Did you know?”


    Irene knew he was referring to Isaac sending his people to beat him up.


    “I didn’t,” she admitted.


    Ricky scowled anyone would feel miserable after getting beaten up.


    Walking up beside his bed and pulling out a chair to sit, Irene asked, “How bad is it? What did the


    doctors say?”


    Ricky didn’t answer, and instead held her gaze and asked, “Would you have stopped him if you knew?”


    Irene turned quiet, because she had no idea.


    However, Ricky didn’t seem to me her since her son


    came first.


    “One broken arm, while the other are just bumps and bruises. I guess Isaac just wanted to rough me up


    a little as reprisal for Tommy. He wasn’t trying to kill me.”


    “Alright,” Irene said and helped him pull his nket up to his shoulders. “I’ll keep things together at


    Spencer


    Holdings for now.”


    Ricky nodded. “Okay.”


    That was when his phone suddenly vibrated. Instead of checking it, he told Irene, “I’m thirsty. Can you


    get me a ss of water?”


    “Okay.” Irene went over to the thermos sk nearby, but it was empty. “I’ll get it from the dispenser


    outside.


    Ricky nodded. After Irene left, he whipped out his phone


    to see that it was another text from that anonymous


    sender.


    [Do you want to see your mother?]


    Ricky replied without hesitation: [Can I?]


    [You didn’t seed in your task, but you at least did it. I’m kind enough to let you meet her.]


    [Thank you.]


    [12 a.m., Timberwest Road. The Equestrian Club behind.]


    [Okay.]


    Ricky was actually thrilled -he had been worried about


    Samantha all this while.

    She was safe in prison, but it wasn’t the case now that she


    was out.


    Irene happened to return just then and saw the look on his face, and asked, “Did something good


    happen? You look lively.”
