The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 690

Chapter 690

Sensing danger right then, Irene turned toward Seth, who appeared perplexed by her look. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Irene pointed at Harvey Gooding. "He's your cousin?"

"Yeah," Seth replied honestly. "His mother is my mother's youngest sister."

"He's sick?” Irene asked.

"Yeah-that's what he told me," Seth said. "He's hoping you can take a look.

Irene's lips twitched.

Fine, it was her own negligence!

Or maybe she never could have expected that Seth and Harvey were related.

"Why are you so surprised?"

Harvey rose to his feet just then and he slowly walked towards Irene.

Alarmed, Irene retreated and turned to run, only to find the door blocked by several burly men, each of whom had fearsome looks on their faces!

Her escape cut off, Irene wheeled on Harvey. "What do you want?"

Harvey smiled. "To get checked, of course-l'm a patient, and you're a doctor, right?"

Irene narrowed her eyes. "I don't think I can do it. Get someone else, and let me go right now. You know Isaac's temper, and if he knows that you're messing with me again, he'll destroy you."

Harvey simply stared at her, and Irene felt the creeps from his gaze. "Don't give me that look!"

Harvey snorted and returned to the couch then, crossing his legs as he told Seth, "You can go back to work now. We don't need you here."

Seth was puzzled. "You two know each other? Why did you have to go through me, then?"

"Can't you tell from her harsh tone?" Harvey said. "There's a little misunderstanding between us, so she's been refusing to see me. That's why I needed your help, and I thank you for it."

"You deserved it, whatever it was," Irene coolly shot back. "You messed with us first, and I hate you, let alone him! I just didn't have the power to punish you, or I would have done worse than he did!"

Harvey's veins were bulging over his face from resentment, and his face twitched as he sneered, "You really deserve each other... It's the exact same words. Fine. I guess I have no reason to hold back now!"

With that, he beckoned, "Get in here."

Soon, a man in a lab coat who appeared to be a doctor entered.

Irene distanced herself by instinct while glaring at him warily. Even if she did not know what Harvey was up to, she was sure that he was rotten to the core!

"Are you going to lie down yourself, or should I have my man pin you down? ’ Harvey said flatly and icily-he had always been kind to her before, but they were burning bridges now!

Since Isaac had pushed him over the edge, he had nothing to lose!

If he had to suffer, he would make them suffer with him!

Before Irene could respond, he added, "I know that you're a doctor, and that you're smart and resourceful. Hell, I suffered at your hands before-but you're not getting away this time."
