The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363

Stephen said, “Don’t ask. Just get back to work–oh, right, I have arranged a surgery for you, so start prepping. I’❞ be bringing you to meet the patient soon.”

Irene, however, was still confused as to how the drama with Whitney suddenly became inconsequential, and so asked, “How was the matter resolved?”

“I’m not going to tell you, so don’t ask. Look–I trust you, Chief trusts you, and that’s that. Just don’t worry and continue working under me.”

Since Stephen made himself very clear, Irene decided not to ask. “Alright. I’ll prepare for the surgery now.” Stephen smiled. “Good.”

Harvey came looking for Irene during lunch break, and asked worriedly, “What’s going on? Why did Whitney Cox leave the hospital already?”

Irene told him. “It somehow got resolved.”

“How?” Harvey pressed.

Irene shrugged. “Beats me.”

Harvey was left speechless for a moment, and grumbled, “Well, your hospital is quite impressive… to think that I don’t even get to show my party trick. Won’t hurt to tell you now, but I was going to get you a witness to testify for you. Since she kept insisting you did it but no one actually has any evidence, they can’t say anything even if we clearly brought in a false witness. That would save you, naturally.”

Irene almost rolled her eyes at him. “That was the idea you had?”

Harvey actually appeared quite confident. “Yeah. Is there a problem?”

“Yes,” Irene said, but refrained from elaborating. “Anyway, your mother will be leaving the ICU today. Although she recovered well, aftercare is equally important, so take good care of her.”

“I know. Thank you for everything,” Harvey said gratefully.

“I’ve told you–I’m a doctor. You don’t have to go so far…”

“No, I wanted to help you with Whitney Cox, but ended up doing nothing. That means I still owe you one. How about dinner tonight?”

“I’m busy.” Irene refused summarily.

Harvey insisted. “I’m going to keep bothering you every day until you say yes.”

Irene was speechless.

“You’re crazy,” she said and strode off, though she stopped to shoot him a warning look. “Don’t follow me or bother me while I’m working. You can thank me by staying away from me.”

He clapped her on the shoulder just then. “Don’t think you can slack off just because I praised you. Keep doing your best–any doctor I’ve taught must make a name for themselves.”

“I will,” Irene said.

She stretched her hands a little after that and prepared to leave work when Harvey latched up to her like glue. “Let me drive you home?”

Irene simply ignored him.

However, Harvey was relentless. Seeing that she was not playing for long, he added, “I’ll hover around you every day until you get sick of me.

Irene was at a loss for words. He was nuts!

“You’re just going to piss me off,” Irene snapped, her expression making it clear that she was not joking around.

Harvey was speechless. “Honestly, how could you be so stubborn?”

Irene ignored him again, and stepped out of the main entrance when she heard someone call out to her.

“Irene?”

Once she saw who it was, she appeared taken aback for a moment, before running up to the other person.
