The Runaway Groom Chapter 906

James did not dare to look at Irene, let alone answer her.

It was not as if he refused to offer her any comfort.

The truth was that he did not come straight to Irene after he was informed about Isaac’s plane crashing, but

instead, he sent anyone they had over to the scene immediately.

They in turn confirmed the plane had crashed within Dunesia borders, and just before James arrived at the hilltop

mansion, he was further informed that they found the wreckage on Darcy’s Peak, the highest peak of the country.

It was common knowledge that while airplanes were the safest way to travel, a crash was always lethal!

That was why he did not dare to give Irene an answer—her disappointment would be worse if he gave her hope!

Fortunately, Irene waved him off feebly. “I get it. Just make the arrangements… Can you get us out before

sundown?”

“Yes,” James replied.

Irene took her baby back from James just then, but it felt like her chest was hollowed out—as if her heart was taken

away.

She tightened her hold on her baby, as if seeking a handle on reality.

The baby started to struggle from the discomfort, but Irene never noticed until he started to cry.

Coming to her senses, she quickly eased her hold around her baby just as Sheryl came out of the mansion.

“What’s wrong?” Sheryl asked.

Irene looked at Sheryl blankly and shook her head. “Pack our things, Mom.”

“What? Why?” Sheryl asked in surprise.

“We’re moving to Franconia,” Irene said.

Despite Irene doing her best to pull herself together, Sheryl immediately noticed that something was wrong when

she saw the weariness in Irene’s expression. “What happened?

Irene did not want to tell the truth, afraid that Sheryl might collapse from the truth.

“Isaac’s been wanting to migrate to Franconia, but we stayed because of my work,” Irene said instead. “Now that

I’ve resigned, we could go there now—it would be convenient for Isaac too, since the Remy headquarters is there.”

Sheryl thought that Irene was making sense, and yet…

“Do we have to leave in such a hurry?” Sheryl asked.

“Yeah.” Irene nodded. “We’ll be going today.”

Sheryl leered at her suspiciously. “Why do I have this feeling that something’s wrong with you?”

After all, Irene had never once mentioned living in Franconia, but they were now leaving out of the blue?

The sudden urgency was certainly unusual.

Irene pursed her lips and tried to smile, intending to reassure Sheryl.

However, Irene’s smile was uglier than a crying face, to the point that Sheryl was snorting. “Don’t smile if you can’t

—you look hideous. I won’t ask anything if you don’t want to tell me anyway. I’ll start packing up.”

Then, as Sheryl started to head inside, Irene called out to her. “Mom? Can you take my baby too?”

Sheryl turned and did so.

The baby was beaming right then—he was used to Sheryl carrying him, and he was happier than when Irene

carried him around.

While Sheryl was busy wiping his drool, Irene arched her back, pressing both chest firmly on her chest.

Sheryl glanced at Irene, and there was a brief look of worry in her eyes before she sighed and returned into the

mansion with the baby.

Meanwhile, the dam on Irene’s emotions collapsed instantly, and she felt such a crushing weight her spine could

snap.

The sun was right overhead, but all she felt was coldness around her.

Her whole body shivered as she stood alone, spacing out for so long her legs went numb.

She was staring blankly into thin air, her vision blurring even as she looked at people.

When she got to her feet, her head went dizzy and she blacked out, falling to the ground right then.

Eagle saw her fall unconscious and he quickly carried her into the mansion.

Sheryl panicked when he saw them—what on earth happened that could leave Irene blacking out?

“Shouldn’t we take her to the hospital?”

Aside from being an incredible martial artist, Eagle was slightly learned in medical knowledge as well.

He naturally could tell that Irene was actually fine, and that she was just unconscious from mental distress.

“She just needs some rest. She’ll recover soon,” he said.

Sheryl quickly told Eagle to take Irene to Tommy’s room, but just as he was about to put Irene down, she suddenly

opened her eyes wide. “Isaac…”
