The Runaway Groom

Chapter 537

Chapter 537

There were those who willfully made the wrong choices for short term profits.

Irene certainly learned her lesson this time.

"Do you know what's going to happen if you insist on being so stubborn?" Her interrogator glared at her. "You're

pregnant. Shouldn't you think of your child, even if you don't care about yourself?"

Irene's fingers clenched. "I told you-l admit to damaging the research effort, and I'll take my punishment accordingly."

After all, the hospital could only fire her and demand compensation, but it seems that the Minervan government wanted

to make her crime a bigger issue than it was.

She knew all too well that if she confessed, they would use her to cause an international conflict.

Her interrogators suddenly stopped to whisper to each other.

Irene could not hear what they were saying, but it definitely was nothing good given the looks on their faces.

And her hunch proved right soon enough.

It seemed that they could not get what they wanted from Irene, and therefore needed to make her yield in another

She had been locked up in a precinct because Mead Clinic had already filed a lawsuit against her, but her

She then heard footsteps of her escort leaving.

Not knowing where she was, she slowly sat down on the cold floor.

Everything felt chilly—the air, her surroundings, her heart.

She could not help shuddering even as she held herself firmly.

She then remembered Isaac, and wondered if he was worried that she went missing again.

Was he looking for her?

She feared that she would never see him again and felt so vulnerable for once that she could cry.

"Isaac..."

In this place that was so dark no one could discern her feelings and yet inspired fear anyway, she hoped so much that

she would suddenly wake up from this nightmare, and that she would suddenly be home again, with Tommy, Sheryl, and

Isaac beside her.

But it was just the beginning...
