The Runaway Groom Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047Chapter 1047
Lulu's gaze was evasive but calm in an instant, her voice frail. "I asked them not to call you, but they
did anyway."
Irene was calm and did not show any misery at all.
Lulu was already in this state-she would not be able to calm down and focus on getting better if Irene
showed her misery too.
Irene took Lulu's hand, noticing the many punctures over the skin which were definitely left from
needles, leaving bruising everywhere.
She was afraid to hold Lulu too firmly, in fear that it would hurt Lulu.
Lowering her gaze to stop Lulu from seeing the pain in her eyes, she asked, "If they never called me,
were you going to keep suffering like this alone?"
Lulu pursed her lips. "I just don't want to upset you!"
Irene could not hold back then. "You're still concerned that I'd worry after this happened to you?"
Before Lulu could say anything, Irene continued, "I've already told them that I'm taking you away. I'll get
you a good doctor, and I know many of them. They'll definitely make you better-"
"Forget it," Lulu said flatly. "I know my condition, and there's no healing the heart even if I'm physically
better. Why bother?"
"Cut that out," Irene snapped quietly. 'Don't give up on yourself. You have a daughter!”
"Daughter...” Lulu's eyes lit up, though it dulled soon after.She would only scare Jean like this, so how could she be a mother?
"You don't have to worry about me," Lulu said, determined. "I won't go with you."
"You really want to die?" Irene could not help asking.
"Yeah," Lulu replied.
Irene did not care about her mood just then. "You're a mother no matter what happens to you. She'd be
motherless if you died, and don't you know how terrible it would be for her? Having a father but not a
mother is a lifetime's worth of regrets, and I promise you that I'll make you better. You'll look good, even
if it's not as good as before."
"Do you think my heart can recover even if my face does?" Lulu asked with a dark look. "I'm disgusted
with my own body now, and I really don't want to live anymore. I've let down everyone who was sincere
to me. Don't you understand? I'm a jinx-Martin might not be dead if I've never married him...
"How could you say that?" Irene snapped, her heart breaking. "How could you say that? You didn't
want all this to happen, and no one would care or know if you came to Franconia with me. Stay away
from everything in Zidonia and start afresh-you can because you're young, and you still have a long life
ahead of you. Don't give up. Trust me, everything will be better."
"How can it be better at this stage?" Lulu asked. ’Just leave. Don't tell anyone else about me-just leave
me to my own devices here.”
Irene was afraid to leave, her heart hurting as she listened to Lulu's words of self-destructive despair.
'Til always stay with you," Irene said nonetheless."You don't have to worry about me," Lulu said. "You can't save me—no one can. This is my fate, and
I'm accepting it." "Nonsense. What do you mean, fate? Everything will be better-just listen to me this
one time!"
