Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 166: You are doing great...

By the time they returned to the mansion, the sky was painted in shades of orange and golden. The sun was slowly setting, casting long shadows across the driveway. Their car moved gently toward the front of the mansion and rolled to a stop at the entrance. They all sighed deeply in relief.

It had been a long and stressful day, and everyone was tired. The driver stepped out and walked to the trunk to bring out the wheelchair. Davis looked at the chair and sighed deeply. So many thoughts filled his mind. Will I ever stand on my own again? he wondered. How long will I have to keep waiting for someone to help me out of the car?

Slowly, Davis was helped into the wheelchair. Jessica took hold of the handles and gently pushed him into the house.

Once they got to the bedroom, she dropped her bag on the nightstand and slumped onto the bed. Her feet ached, her head throbbed slightly making her brows furrowed. "It must be pain from the tears I shed earlier", She murmured to herself.

Her hand slowly massaging her temples in a slow, circular motion, her mind lost in a brief thought. She let out a small laugh, then whispered, "I think I’ve been crying too much lately."

Davis nodded. "That’s true. But not surprising—you’re starting to feel like a human again."

Jessica sat up and glared at him. "Was I not human before?" she asked, her voice filled with annoyance.

Davis chuckled, amused. "Don’t take it personal. I just mean you’ve become more... he paused briefly searching for the proper word ...emotional lately. Now, go take your bath so you can rest."

Jessica sighed and lay back on the bed for a moment. Then suddenly, a name popped into her mind. She sat up quickly, grabbed her bag from the bedside table, and pulled out her phone. She scrolled through her contacts until she saw the name she was looking for—The Dean. Her finger hovered over the number for a few seconds. She knew that if she didn’t call immediately, she might lose the courage to do so.

The phone rang for a few seconds before a male voice came through. "Hello, Dr. Sica," the Dean greeted politely.

"Hello, I’m calling to check on Matilda Santiago. I want to know how she responded to the prescription I sent. Did she have any side effects? It’s important to know which treatment works best for her and suits her body."
