The Runaway Groom Chapter 918

Irene was not even in Zidonia, but she could hear the urgency in Lulu’s voice.

Irene asked, “Is it Ricky?”

“No, it’s M-Martin…” Lulu said and pleaded, “Irene, I don’t have much time. Please hurry…”

“Is the baby coming too?!” Irene gasped.

“Yes, but listen—Martin was shot… they say the bullet was near his heart… S-Save him…”

Irene was afraid of telling Lulu that she was abroad right then. “Got it. I’ll be right over.”

Irene hung up, and she was planning to call James when she realized that it would take her over ten hours to return to Zidonia.

It was far too long, and way past the optimal time to treat Martin.

She quickly called Finn Crowe instead—thankfully, the youth was reliable as ever, and he quickly answered her call. “Director Spencer?”

“Don’t say a thing, Finn. Just listen to my instructions: go to Brian Adams and ask him to head over to New Kent. I’ll send you the exact address later.”

She had picked Brian Adams to succeed her as director of Hotmesh because she had read through his resume—he excelled in plenty of aspects, and he was one of the best heart surgeons in the country as well.
