The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1051

"The patient's injuries are extensive," the doctor replied. "We needfurther examinations before surgery and plan the surgery accordingly.”It was certainly better to be safe than sorry.

"Thank you," Irene said.

“I'l do my best to treat her since I took her in as a patient.” The doctorsmiled. “I'm a perfectionist—I don't know what she looked like before orwhether I can restore her face to the way it was, but I'll definitely makeher look good.”

Irene agreed—it was fine not to reconstruct Lulu's original appearanceas long as the plastic surgery was a success.

After Lulu stayed at the hospital, it was medical examinations andplanning the surgery over the next few days.

Plastic surgery was not Irene's speciality, but she was allowed to bepresent and judge the success rate of the surgery with her ownknowledge.

After days of discussion, they planned over a dozen surgeries, bothmajor and minor.

It was possible for changes too, and Irene understood that.

When she told Lulu about the procedures, however, Lulu remainedsilent.

Unsure if she was actually agreeing to it, Irene tried to persuade her.“You'd look good even if you can't restore your original looks. Just thinkabout—it's a new face, a fresh start. Not a bad choice at all.”

Lulu understood what Irene meant, and it was not as if she disagreed,but...

"Alright, let's go with that!"

Still, she had already agreed to live on for her child, even if she had todo it pitifully.

Irene's heart ached for her. "I'm staying here with you. You won't haveto be afraid about being alone.”

"But you just said there'll be over a dozen surgeries. That would take awhile, and it's not as if I don't know a thing about medical procedures.I'm mentally prepared as well, so you don't have to stay here with me—you have a family, or are you abandoning them for me, staying here allthis while?"

“Isaac would understand,” Irene said, holding her hand. "And you don'thave to worry about me—my mother will take care of my sons very wellin my absence. On the other hand, I'm the only one who can keep youcompany, so how could I abandon you?"

“I know you're being kind to me, but you should go home for a whilebefore coming back. You don't have to stay,” Lulu insisted.

She did not want Irene to neglect her own family for her. After all,women had many things to attend to after marriage, and freedom wasnonexistent when they had a husband and children. They would alwayshave to think for their family's sake.

“Yeah, but not now," Irene said. “We just came—you're probably notused to this place, but I'll go back once your first surgery is successfullycompleted.”

Irene was certainly considerate for Lulu's sake, as if it was not until sixdays after Lulu was moved to Minerva that Lulu had her first surgery.

It took four hours, but thankfully went smoothly.

Irene stayed by Lulu’s bed while the latter was still asleep withsedatives.

"You can rest now that the surgery is over, ma'am,” Eagle told Irene. "I'llkeep an eye on her."

After all, Irene had been standing outside ever since Lulu was wheeledinto the operating room, never stepping away once.

And now that the surgery was over and Lulu was taken back to herward, Irene was still glued to her—it would definitely be wearing Ireneout.

“I'm fine,” Irene told him. "I'll only have peace of mind when I see herwake up—I'm all she has left without anyone else around her. I won't lether feel lonely and helpless now."

“Yes, ma'am,” Eagle said, lowering his head.

Lulu woke up in the middle of the night, with Irene having fallen asleepbeside her bed.

"Irene..."
