The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755

Irene turned away. "Please don't ask..."

James grabbed her arm as an ominous feeling seized him, but he kept his expression calm nonetheless.

’Tell me," he said, keeping his voice quiet.

Irene closed her sore eyes. "You have a hunch, don't you?"

James released her then.

Erin's clothes were in pieces when they found her, laying in the bushes near the car.

’That's why you shouldn't ask," Irene continued softly, hardly able to stay calm from the travesty. "I'll stay with her at all times, but she doesn't want to see you, so don't try to barge in. You'd only upset her more."

James's mouth hung opened, but no words came out

He was devastated, and Irene felt her chest tighten seeing his reaction!

Til take care of her. There will be someone with her at all times."

With that, she returned inside the operating room.

She was the one who operated on Erin, and therefore knew very well.

Worried that she would upset Erin, she tried to keep her voice as mild as she could. "Let's get you to your ward."

Erin was staring blankly at the ceiling in silence, as Irene quietly wheeled her to her ward and then locked the wheels in place, before taking a chair to sit beside her.

Erin lay on her side with her back to Irene.

Irene wanted to say something, but she ended up swallowing her words.

Any words of comfort were as pointless as it was unconvincing, and there was no comforting Erin's wounded spirit.

The room was silent in the dimly lit ward, until Erin's repressed sobs were heard ever so distinctly.

"Cry if you want. There's no else here," Irene rasped.

Isaac headed out, and Irene gently closed the door behind her, before throwing herself into Isaac's arms right away. "You're back."

Isaac patted her on the back. "Yeah. I was so worried when I heard you cry.’ "It's terrible," she murmured, her voice choking with tears. “It's all because of me..."

Isaac saw James on the way in, and he was sitting on the floor, appearing haggard and exhausted as he did not sleep the entire night!

"They wanted to take me, and Erin told them she was me to protect me...’

Understanding that she was distraught, Isaac held her in his warm embrace, offering comfort.

It took a while for her to finally calm down, and she sniffled.

When she looked up, there were still tears on his lashes. "What should I do?

Isaac raised his hands to wipe her tears. “How bad is it?"

Irene's lips were cracked and dry-she had not had a drink since the incident.

’She was raped... They took turns with her, and she lost her baby."
