The Runaway Groom

Chapter 361

Irene had seen the person in the photo before–she was sorting a patient’s file for Stephen, and he had told her that the patient had special privilege.

However, the patient’s photo left an impression on her because she resembled Isaac’s mother.

“I see…” Mrs. Watson replied, but she was clearly skeptical.

Irene smiled. “It’s true.”
