The Runaway Groom -
Chapter 1049
Lulu asked, "Why do you insist on taking me away?"
"Or what, am I supposed to not care while you get yourself killed?"Irene snapped, not abiding with her self-destructive tendencies justthen. "Has anyone lived their lives without facing setbacks and roughpatches? Is that worth getting killed for? There wouldn't be that manypeople alive if that were the case."
"Did they suffer like I do?" Lulu countered.
Irene was stumped, but there definitely had not been many whosuffered like Lulu did.
Even so, Irene pushed on. "It's always darkest before the dawn.”
“I'm tired,” Lulu replied, shaking her head and reluctant to speakfurther.
Irene knew that Lulu was refusing to see reason and pressed, "If you'renot going to do it for anyone, do it for Jean. Just think about it—what ifZachary marries someone and Jean has to live with a stepmother? Youshould know very well that the stepmother would definitely abuse Jeanand put her through all the pain in the world. In fact, you weren'tallowed to stay in your own house when your father remarried andwhen you're an adult! How miserable would it be for Jean to live withouta mother, even as a child?"
Despite what she said, Irene knew very well that Zachary loved Jeanand would never remarry on a whim, let alone allow Jean to suffer inany way.
She just needed a reason to persuade Lulu to keep living—even if ithurt.
And to no surprise, Lulu's expression changed ever so slightly.Mothers are strong, as the saying goes, and Irene was convinced thatLulu would replace the will to live for Jean.
As such, Irene continued to harp on. "If you're alive, you could at leasttake Jean back if Zachary remarries and Jean's stepmother mistreatsher. At the very least, she won't be abused—or have you not seennews of how stepmothers abuse stepchildren?"
"Stop it." Lulu turned away.
"No, I think I'll keep this up—you can't even care for your child, and allyou want is to be free. That makes you a selfish mother who gave birthto her child but could not even protect the child. Why did you bring Jeanto this world at all?"
Irene kept going despite Lulu's reluctance to hear more—she insistedon hurting Lulu so Lulu would feel the will to live.
For Lulu's part, it was not as if she completely refused to think forJean's sake.
However, at that very moment, she could not face herself—not becauseshe was disfigured, since she was not afraid of being ugly.
Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could think about was how shewas defiled, even though she was willing to do it to win those villains'trust.
But that was just it—she was ready to die from the start, and now thatshe was told to keep on living, she had no idea how to handle whathappened.
"Why did you come, Irene?" Lulu asked—she would not have to feelconflicted otherwise.
“I would've been here earlier if I wasn't delayed,” Irene replied.
Lulu closed her eyes, which only made Irene anxious and fearful—ithad been days, but Lulu was not budging at all.
"Lulu..."
“I'l go with you, but I don’t want anyone to know about me, includingIsaac,” Lulu said then.
She knew about Zachary's friendship with Isaac, and Isaac knowingmeant Zachary would replace out too.
Irene nodded repeatedly. "Okay, got it. I won't tell Isaac.”
“I'l have people prepared for your departure.”
She had already spoken to the medical staff about that, and all theyhad to wait for was Lulu to agree.
And now that she did, they could move her to the airport right away.The airlines they were using had also given them special treatment,given Lulu's unique circumstances, since Irene had liaised with them aswell—once on the plane, Irene and Eagle would take care of Lulu.Irene certainly could, since she was a doctor.
Their flight took them straight to Minerva, and Irene had a doctorprepared for Lulu.
After all, Isaac and the others were all at Franconia, and Lulu did notwant anyone to know about her situation.
Moreover, arranging for Lulu to be treated in Minerva would also hideher from those who meant to harm her!
