My Disabled Husband Has A Secret novel Chapter 7

Author's POV

Coming out of the hospital, Lelia stood near the road to hire a cab when she realized she had no money.

"Hope someone helps them." Taking a deep breath, Lelia starts walking when her phone starts ringing.

Lelia took out her phone. It was an unknown number. Lelia picked up the call.

"Hello, who is it?" Lelia asked

"It's me" Came a deep voice over the phone.

"Duke" Lelia was confused. Where did he get her number? "She didn't remember giving him her number"

"Yeah, it's me" Duke answered calmly

"Where did you get my number?" Lelia asked her

"Is it important now? I am your husband? Is it not normal that your husband has your phone number?" Duke asked in his deep voice

"It didn't mean anything like that. Do you have anything to say?" Lelia asked him

"Where are you now?" Duke asked her even though he was aware of her location.

"I am outside of the hospital"

"Then, buy some groceries. I will come home for lunch" Duke said.

"Buy groceries!" Lelia looked at her empty purse. "What should I do now? I don't have any money left"

When Lelia didn't answer Duke spoke up again, "I am sending money to your account. Use it as you wish"

Lelia's phone beeped up. She was shocked. Duke has sent 10,000$

"Where did you get money?" Lelia asked him. She still remembered her Father telling her about Duke's condition. He has no job. Then from where did he earn this money? Don't tell me he did something illegal!?

Duke chuckled hearing his wife. She was questing him to see that little amount which he usually earned every ten minutes.

What will she do when Duke will reveal his true identity? Will she be shocked or happy?

"Are you there?" Lelia asked when she didn't get any response.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Winters, I didn't rob anyone. Be at ease and use it as you wish"

Saying this Duke disconnected the call before Lelia.

Lelia looked at her phone for some time and walked towards the store.

Mark was shocked to hear the conversation. Did his Boss use his personal number to call her? He never shared this number with anyone. Only his grandfather called him on this number.

"Once, Duke said he only shared this number with his family. How did the woman get close to him? It doesn't matter now. Now he needs to look after Lelia too.

Duke saved Lelia's number as wifey and smiled at her cuteness.

"Boss, won't you have lunch with the client?" Mark asked him.

"No. I will attend the meeting only. Attend the lunch at my place" Duke said and looked outside of the glass.

"What should I buy?" Lelia was looking around the store.
