The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1016

Irene was the one who initiated it, but she was also the one begging formercy soon enough.

Pressing herself against Isaac's chest, she said, "Your eyes haven'trecovered yet..."

"Yes, but I'm still able-bodied..." he retorted, leaning in and reaching forher lips for a firm kiss.

Since it had been a while when they were together, he really missedher... especially physically.

And with Stan keeping watch outside, no one would dare to disturbthem.

Soon, the skies turned dark.

Irene fell asleep, nestled in Isaac's arms.

She groggily heard Isaac's voice—Stan just came in, bringing food.Opening her eyes, she asked, "Are you hungry?"

“I should be asking that question,” Isaac smiled. "What time do youthink it is?"

Irene glanced at the time to replace that it was already night—she arrivedin the afternoon.

And there went an entire day.

Getting out of bed and straightening her clothes, she told him, “Let's getyou cleaned up.”

Isaac would need help with showers since he could not see, and hemurmured softly. "Okay."

Irene smiled. "You mind not being able to see, don't you?"

Isaac did before, but he was a little less upset about being blind aroundIrene after getting it on with her.

With that, she helped him out of bed and to the bathroom.

They must have been getting antsy after abstaining for a while andwent at it again in the bath, which was why it took another two hours forthem to finish up.

Stan returned with dinner, and Irene started to feed Isaac.

"l can do it myself..." he said.

Irene refused and insisted on feeding him. "I'll help you."

Martin was found tortured to a gruesome death, with parts of his bodymissing.

They did not even arrange a funeral for him—Lulu and the otherofficers of the precinct had him buried in secret.

Lulu sent Jean away exactly because she was worried that Jean wouldbe unsafe with her. Now that Martin and her baby were gone, shedecided to return to the force.

She wanted to avenge Martin, just as she blamed herself for his death.If they did not argue, Martin would not have returned to work sooner orworked undercover—the reason for the latter being because she hadbeen constantly cold-shouldering him.

His cover was blown, and it led to his horrific death.

She felt very miserable, especially at the thought that she did not havea child for him despite their marriage.

That would not be the case if he married another woman, but inmarrying her, he died without leaving anything.

She believed that she owed him, but the force disagreed with herproposal.

“You're a woman who has not been trained, and you'll be exposedquickly. Captain York is gone now. You're his wife, we—"

“I'll do it my way even without your approval.” Lulu was determined.Hence, after discussing and deliberating on the matter, they agreed toher request to go undercover.

However, Lulu already had every intention to bring down the enemywith her—she did not fear death, only a tormenting life.

Naturally, she had to be trained extensively for the operation as orderedby the higher-ups.

An assessment followed after the two-week training.

Before she went undercover, she texted Irene:

[I have neither regrets nor fear. The only attachment I have is Jean, soplease take good care of her.]

Irene replied: [I will. Don't worry.]

[I'm relieved since you see that. See you around.]

Irene stared blankly at Lulu's text, a foreboding feeling crossing hermind then.

She wanted to reply to Lulu's text and ask how she was doing when thedoor opened.
