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

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.
Most important of all, his ability was above question.
Finn was understanding enough to spare her any questions. “I’ll go right now.”
“Good,” Irene said, and hung up.
She called Lulu back, but it was an unfamiliar voice on the other end. “Hello?’
Somehow, Irene could hear Lulu panting from the other end, although she was clearly restraining herself already.
Having given birth herself, Irene knew how much it hurt.
Staying calm, she asked, “Which hospital is Martin at?”
The man replied. “New Kent’s First Citizen Hospital.”
“I’m sending a heart surgeon over right now, so receive him when he arrives and arrange for him to help with
Martin’s surgery,” Irene said. “I don’t have the specifics on Martin’s condition, but Lulu’s call just now tells me
plenty. Just ask the hospital to stabilize Martin’s vitals if they aren’t confident about a surgery, and wait until the
heart surgeon arrives. If they can do it, tell them to do it immediately without delay.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Johnny replied.
“How’s Lulu right now?” Irene then asked.
“We just got her in an ambulance. We’re heading to the hospital right now.”
“Alright. Take good care of her,” Irene replied. “I can’t reach her right now—I’ll only arrive around half a day later.”
“Understood,” Johnny answered.

Hanging up on the other end, Irene started to limp into the castle.
Eagle stood at the door, watching Mrs. Watson as she played with the children in the courtyard.
Tommy especially liked it here, and he was running around happily.
Eagle soon spotted Irene, and he walked up to greet her. “Are you hurt, ma’am?”
“I’m fine,” Irene told him.
Eagle was eyeing her foot, but he said, “Yeah.”
Irene then asked one of the servants to bring her some ice, and she applied it to her sprain while calling James.

“James, I need to go back to Zidonia.”
James was silent for a moment. “Now?”
“Yeah,” Irene replied. “Book me a ticket, and make sure the airport is the nearest to New Kent.”
New Kent was in one of the less wealthy regions of Zidonia and near the border.
The criminal elements there were especially active, and there was no airport directly in that town—Irene would
have to land somewhere near instead.
Still, James hesitated since Isaac was still missing. “Does it have to be now?”
“Yeah,” Irene replied. “It’s very urgent.”
She was certainly worried that Isaac was still worried as well, but Zachary, Stan, and James were all doing their best
to find him.
On the other hand, Lulu was going into labor, while Martin’s life was in danger!
Irene was worried about them too!
“Got it,” James replied. “I’ll check for the next flight available.”
