Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 146 Playing Hard To Get

After parting ways with Elyse, Theo decided to drown his sorrows at the local bar. With each sip, he felt the weight of the evening slipping away until he stumbled out, more than a little tipsy. As Theo attempted to navigate the road home, his vision blurred and his reflexes slowed by the alcohol. Before he knew it, he veered into the guardrail and the car lurched, triggering the airbag to inflate with a loud pop, knocking him out cold.

Thankfully, a good samaritan driving by noticed the wreck and immediately called for an ambulance which rushed Theo to the hospital.

Zandra, upon receiving the distressing news of her son's accident, abandoned her overtime duties at the office and rushed to the hospital.

When she arrived, her heart clenched at the sight of him pale and unconscious on the hospital bed. With trembling hands and tear-filled eyes, she checked him over, fearing the worst.

The doctor strode into the ward with a calm yet reassuring demeanor. "Please try to stay calm," he began, his voice steady. "Your son is going to be just fine. He's still feeling the effects of the alcohol, but the car accident wasn't as serious as it may have seemed. We've thoroughly examined him, and I'm happy to report that he has no internal injuries. Just a few scrapes and bruises on the outside."

Upon hearing the doctor's reassuring words, Zandra couldn't help but let out a long, relieved sigh. She reached up to smooth down the strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead in her worry, and with a deep breath, she straightened her posture, returning to her usual image of strength and resilience.

"Thank you, doctor."

After the doctor finished explaining the precautions and left the ward, Zandra took a seat beside
