The Runaway Groom

Irene's heart skipped a beat even as she stood outside the ward, and she could not hide the quiver in her voice. "It's that serious?"

She was afraid to imagine how bad things were for Lulu that the officer would say something like that.

Nonetheless, he said, "Go inside. You'll see.”

With that, Irene opened the door into the single-person ward.

There was a person laying in the bed placed next to the window, and Irene strode over when she saw that person.

However, Irene's pace was somber and she was afraid that something terrible had really happened to Lulu... until she stopped in her tracks suddenly.

She could not recognize if the person was Lulu, since the person's face was bandaged.

Irene turned, and the officer at the door nodded. "It's her."

Irene gasped, her legs suddenly feeling like they were made of lead and weighing a ton.

She was so close... yet the distance between her and Lulu felt so far! In truth, she was just afraid of moving closer.
