Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife novel Chapter 8

Theo rushed inside the hospital room where his mother was.

"Mom?" he gasped with surprise to see his mother healthy again.

Agatha looked at her son with emotions welling in her eyes.

"Theo" she whispered.

Theo hugged his mother as his eyes filled with happiness. After his father passed away, it was his mother who raised him while holding the Morrison group from falling. After Theo took over the company, only then she relaxed. If there is a person in this world for whom he can do anything, that is him mother. She put on the shoes of both his mother and father while raising him single handedly.

"I missed you so much mom" he shared his deepest emotions with her like a child.

Agatha kissed him on his head.

"Then it's a good thing that you have Nina now. She will take care of you just like I take care of you. She is a good girl Theo. By the way, where is she?" Agatha inquired softly.

Theo became stiff. He was not expecting his mother to bring up Nina who tried to kill her.

"Don't bother about her, mom. You just recovered. You should relax and rest well. Leave the rest to me" he evaded her question.

Agatha frowned. She sensed that something is wrong. The way Theo spoke about Nina in a detached way didn't sit well with her. She pulled back and looked at her son with concern.

"Theo, where is Nina? I want to see her" Agatha insisted.

Theo doesn't want Nina to come anywhere close to his mother again.

"Mom, she is the one who pushed you down the stairs. Why do you insist on seeing her again?" he asked as gently as he can.

That took Agatha by shock.

"What? Who said Nina pushed me down? Nina has nothing to do with this. I fact when she saw me rolling down the stairs, she rushed up to stop the fall. I remember seeing blood on her hand when she tried to hold me from falling. Who told you that it's my daughter-in-law who hurt me?" Agatha demanded.

Out of everything, Theo was not expecting to hear that from his mother. For the second time today, he is learning that he wrongly accused Nina of a crime which she didn't commit.

"Mom, you just woke up. You must be confused" he tried to pursuade his mother that she must have forgotten.

But Agatha pushed his hand away with which he was holding hers.

"Don't take me for a fool Theo. I was just twenty nine when your father left us. You were only four years old then. I am neither delusional and short-sighted. I am stronger than you think I am. Call Nina and take a look at her right forearm. I am sure you would still find the mark on her arm from where she got injured when she tried to save me back then" Agatha fiercely protected Nina.

She suddenly started coughing violently.
