The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 1048

Lulu closed her eyes in exhaustion, and Irene tucked her in. "Rest well."

However, Irene refused to abandon Lulu here and would make Lulu better no matter how hard it was.

She stayed for a long while in Lulu's ward, many thoughts crossing her mind.

Lulu would never get over Martin if she stayed here, and she might be able to leave her dark past if she started over in a new place and started anew.

She spoke to the officers, who agreed to her request considering Lulu's condition—the only condition was to get Lulu's consent.

Irene insisted that she would, and one of them said, "If you can convince Lulu to accept treatment and live well, you can ask us for anything you need."

In fact, they would have done everything they could for Lulu given what happened to her.

Irene did not need anything, however. "Just arrange for a vehicle for when I take her away."

"Leave that to us. Don't worry."

Since the officers were not arguing, Irene just had to work Lulu patiently.

She knew that words were meaningless, and Lulu needed time.

She just had to stay at Lulu's side and wait until Lulu understood.

However, Lulu did not speak much over the next few days even though Irene had another bed brought into the ward and basically lived with her.

Irene was worried about Lulu and that she would do something drastic, and staying with her all the time might offer comfort.

Seeing that Irene had not been sleeping well because of that, Eagle asked, "Ma'am, why don't you go home and rest while I stay here?"

Irene shook her head—she would only be at ease if it was her watching Lulu.

She also called Isaac, who understood her and assured her that he would take care of the family, and she did not have to worry.

Without any concerns over there, Irene would be at ease staying here.

Eagle lowered his eyes nonetheless. "You have dark circles under your eyes, ma'am."

As she returned to the ward and closed the door, Lulu called out to her, "Irene."

She had never spoken first ever since Irene came, and Irene hurried to her side. "Come with me, alright?"

Lulu did not respond but asked, "Who did you bring here?"

Irene replied, "A bodyguard Isaac arranged for me. He's great—he's been with me for a while."

"Oh," Lulu replied and said nothing else.

As such, Irene asked, "Why'd you ask?'

"I just thought he cares a lot about you," Lulu replied.

Irene thought about it but decided that Eagle had always been good to her, given his employer and him being a mercenary.

She stared at Lulu. "Let's not talk about him—let's talk about you instead. I'm staying here with you forever, unless you agree to come with me."
