The Runaway Groom

Chapter 17

Isaac did not sleep in the room she was sleeping in everything was neat and tidy, with nothing touched at all. Irene entered, took a shower, and put on fresh clothes before leaving. When she reached the hospital, however, she realized that Dr. King had swapped her out for someone else at her post.

There was no place for her now, and she turned and left in despair.

Stepping out of the hospital, she stood still for a moment, knowing now that she had no choice.

In the evening, she arrived outside Blue Bridge and stood outside for a while.

Nonetheless, just as she was about to enter, she saw Whitney.

Why was Whitney here?

However, Irene soon remembered Whitney’s connection with Isaac, and decided that it should not come as a surprise.

She headed inside, quietly following Whitney and watched as she entered a private room… However, it was

not Isaac inside, but instead, a rich kid named Chad Ross who used to woo Whitney when they were in university. Chad came from money but was no looker, which was why Whitney never showed interest in him.

So, why were they meeting?

Spurred by curiosity , Irene stayed to find out–peeking through the door frame, she found Chad wrapping his arms around Whitney intimately, and she was not pushing him away!

Irene had so many questions right then.

Was Whitney not Isaac‘s girlfriend? Why was she cheating on Isaac? The thought left Irene‘s heart skipping a beat – if Isaac were to find out, would he not strangle Whitney , given his temper? That was when she heard a voice from inside saying, “All good things must come to an end, Chad. Let‘s break up, okay?”

Chad‘s face fell right then. “Why? You found yourself another man, didn‘t you?” “No,” Whitney stammered, fumbling for an explanation. “I just don‘t think we suit each other.”

“You never said that when you spent my money.” Chad scoffed and smiled, his uncomely face turning perverted
