Chapter 951

Irene grunted dully in pain, her fingernails almost digging into Isaac's arm right then!

"Umph!"

Isaac knew that she was hurting a lot, but words of comfort seemed to be pointless just then.

Even as he caressed Irene's cheek, he told Zachary, 'Hurry."

Zachary was certainly working as first as he could and was in full concentration as he tried to extract the bullet.

Fortunately, he could see the entire bullet clearly without any equipment and easily took it out!

However, Irene's started to bleed even more freely after he did, and he promptly pressed hemostatic powder over

her wound.

Irene was almost passing out, and she was sweating so much it was as if she had just taken a shower!

Zachary then poked his head out to yell at Stan, "Let's go!"

Stan got in and asked, "Is it done? Did you take the bullet out?"

"Yeah," Zachary replied, while Stan started to car and they resumed their journey.

They were not far from Franconia-a little more road past this town, and they would reach the Dunesian border.

"Rest for now," Zachary told Irene, but she was lying limply in Isaac's arms, no longer having the strength or spirit

to respond.

"Sleep," Isaac told her then, and she snuggled against his chest, her eyes closed and her lips pale as a sheet.

There was no telling how long had passed when they finally crossed the Dunesian border and arrived at Franconia.

They were much safer now-whoever that gang was, they would not dare to shoot at them out in the open at

Franconia!

Still, they were not relaxing just yet, nor did they return to the castle.

If the gang easily found them in Vos before, they might still be tracking them even now.

As such, they changed vehicles and took a detour, ensuring that they were not being followed before finally

heading back to the castle.

While everyone alighted, Zachary walked up to Isaac and said, "I'll carry her. M

"No," Isaac growled, and he stubbornly scooped Irene up in his arms while Zachary led the way.

Still, Zachary could not help arguing, "How could you be so petty? You're hurt and you can't see, while I'm just trying

to help. I'm not getting any funny ideas with Irene either."

"She's still mine, and I have hands," Isaac retorted. "I’m only blind, not crippled."

Zachary realized he might have misspoken just then and apologized."

Sorry. I didn't mean it."

Isaac took no offense and said, "Get a doctor."

Zachary gave Stan a look, and Stan quickly caught his cue. "I'll go right now. N

He turned and strode outside, while the others headed inside the castle.

Sheryl was keeping a constant eye on Irene's baby since he was starting to walk and would fall if he lost a little

balance. She needed to be around to catch him immediately.

Seeing Isaac entering just then, she picked up the baby and greeted Isaac," Welcome home."

"Yeah," Isaac murmured.

Zachary then said, "Irene is injured. Let them rest."

"Okay. Run along now," Sheryl quickly said without asking what was wrong. "Do you need my help?"

"Just keep watching the baby," Zachary replied. "Stan is off to get a doctor already."

Sheryl nodded. "I'll keep both eyes on the children. Don't worry.”

"Sir?" Pierre arrived just then.

"Cook us something," Zachary told him-they had been too busy running to eat.

"Of course," Pierre replied and promptly told the kitchen to get to work.

Meanwhile, Zachary led Isaac back to his bedroom while he was still carrying Irene.

After Isaac lay Irene on the bed, Zachary said, "I'll call James."

They had no idea if James had managed to get away safely, after all.

Isaac nodded but said, "Do it outside."

Zachary glanced at Irene, realizing that he had been a little considerate since he might wake Irene.

Zachary stepped outside, closing the door behind him and walking some distance before calling James.

His call was answered soon enough!

"Are you alright, James?" Zachary quickly asked.

"James, you say? So his name is James, I see... I'm afraid he's in our hands right now. You're a friend of his, aren't

you? Do you want to save him?"

Zachary's face fell right then!

Who did that voice belong to?!
