The Runaway Groom Chapter 230

As the sirens approached, the gamblers who had been entranced heard it and ran out of the

containers, and swarmed toward Ian when they saw him.

“Why are the coast guard coming?” they demanded.

They knew that they were involved in a crime, and they were naturally worried about getting caught.

“Just shut up if you don’t want to get caught,” Ian growled angrily, and carved a path through the crowd

as he made his way to Isaac. “Things won’t end well for you once word of this gets out. Don’t forget–I’m

your family. Aren’t you afraid of ruining the reputation of the illustrious Jefferson dynasty?”

Though he owned this illegal casino, everyone knew who he was!

If he was indicted and once word got out, Isaac would not fare any better?

Isaac remained indifferent, his lips curling up with disdain and callousness. “What does that have to do

with me?”

He might be a Jefferson, but after seeing that Henry had come aboard without lifting a finger to save

Irene or his child, he no longer had any qualms!

From now on, he would protect his real family–Irene and Tommy deserved all his attention.

Soon, the cargo ship was surrounded, and the blaring sirens left many hearts pounding!

Fearing arrest, the crowd was in an uproar as panic and guilt seized them.

Stan and his men cleared a path, while Isaac left with Irene and Tommy on another boat.

“I’m leaving this to you. Don’t disappoint me,” Isaac growled with a solemn look.

Stan’s recent performance had been subpar and Isaac had. been meaning to straighten him out.

Stan was naturally aware, and said, “Don’t worry, sir.”

He would do his best this time.

Isaac trusted him too, and naturally would not give up on him so quickly–everyone deserved a second

chance.

“Leave no stone unturned. I could tell that those men have dirty laundry, and I don’t want them out and

about again,” Isaac added. “Understand?”

“Yes–anyone who laid a finger on Mrs. Jefferson will be punished.”

Stan was certainly smart. Isaac was being deliberately vague, but he understood anyway. Still, it was to

be expected after he served the man so long, and gained an intimate understanding of how he thought.

He even knew how to address Irene to suit Isaac’s mood!

“Get it done,” Isaac said flatly, and Stan returned to the cargo ship with his men.

Isaac then headed above the deck and told the crew to bring the boat ashore.

As the boat sailed steadily over the sea’s surface, Irene’s heart was still strung up, unable to relax.

She feared that harm had come to Tommy.

On the other hand, Isaac hesitated for a long while, but could not bring himself to ask her to let him

hold Tommy.

At the moment, it seemed that Irene would not let go of the baby–she just seemed so anxious, and

words of comfort seemed to be ineffective.

“I won’t let any danger come to you ever again,” he said quietly, his eyes fixed on Tommy. The boy

looks so much like himself… Irene did not look up, but she replied, “Thank you.”

Isaac understood how she felt.

Once they made port and Irene carried Tommy from the boat, he said, “Can we go to the hospital? I

want to get Tommy checked.”

“I’ll take you there,” Isaac said.

“Okay,” she replied, and got into his car.

His phone suddenly started ringing–it was a call from Moneypenny, who told him that Henry wanted to

see him.

“Got it,” he replied, and hung up.

He did not head to the Jefferson Manor, however, and instead brought Irene straight to the hospital.

“You can leave me if you’re busy. I just need Jimmy with me.”

“It’s nothing urgent,” Isaac said.

No matter who was asking for him now or what situation needed his attention, nothing was more

important than the safety of his child.

In fact, Tommy had better be safe, or he would hold everyone responsible–even Henry!

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

Once the car stopped, Isaac alighted first, and opened the door for Irene, walking with her as she

carried Tommy out of the car.

The examination soon concluded that the boy was fine-Ian did not overdose him.

“Wargh- Tommy suddenly started crying from hunger.

“What is this?!”

Isaac, however, quickly became anxious and presumed that the doctor had made some mistake, and

caused the baby discomfort.

Glaring sharply at the doctor, he growled, “What have you done?!”

Irene promptly tugged at his sleeve–it had nothing to do with the doctor. “Tommy is just hungry.”
