Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 173

“it’s the least I can do, because you’re Elgin’s lover. He’ll come around, and then we can handle everything”

Hawley was hot-headed now, but if he thought about doing something to Letitia, he’d have to consider how Elgin would feel.

Samson was running around, taking care of everything.

At the hospital entrance.

Vidonia watched the car drive away, “You always seem like a goof-off, but when push comes to shove, you’ve got some chops,”

“That’s right,” Samson said. “You think I’m all fun and games?”

“Before today, yeah, that’s exactly what I thought.”

Samson, thinking he’s slick, straightened his suit, “Looks like you’ve got me all wrong, Vidonia.”

Vidonia rolled her eyes and retorted, “Don’t push your luck.”

“Hey, you nearsighted or something?”

Samson’s sudden question caught Vidonia off guard, “Huh? What do you mean? You’ve known me this long, ever seen me with glasses?!”

“If you’re not nearsighted, why can’t you see clearly?” Samson said. “I’m a total catch, a rich and young bachelor, and you’re always looking down on me?”

*…Please.”

Letitia got back to Ivory Towers, bone-tired.

The butler had everything spick and span, calm as a millpond like nothing had happened.

“Mrs. Ramirez, you’re back,” the butler said. “Rest up.”

She nodded.

The bathtub was already filled with water, with a brand-new clean nightgown placed alongside.

In the master bedroom, Elgin’s presence lingered everywhere…

Letitia lay in bed, her nose tingling. Suddenly, her tears just started flowing.

Why had things between her and Elgin turned out this way?

Hatred, a lost child, risking life for each other…

Loving someone shouldn’t feel like a chore, and hating someone shouldn’t be scary. But the real heartache is when you both love and hate someone.

You couldn’t even tell which is stronger.

Letitia drifted off into a restless sleep, plagued by nightmares.

When she was in a psych ward and was bullied, her meal was spilled on the floor, and she was told to pick it up and eat.

At that night in the hotel room, Elgin whispered “I’ll marry you” in her ear.

Then it was her lying in the OR, waiting for the baby to be taken out…

When she woke up, it was already dark.

Letitia got up and found her pillow soaked.

“Sir,’ she asked as she came downstairs, “any word from the hospital?”

“My lady, nothing yet”
