His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 244

Virginia stared at him, the confusion swirling in her mind growing thicker by the second.

Seeing her dazed expression, Miles accurately guessed what was running through her head. He gently placed his hands on her shoulders, guiding her into the chair before taking the seat opposite her.

"Ginny, I know you have a lot of questions."

Virginia lowered her eyelashes, remaining silent.

The memory of Archer pressuring the hospital to pull the plug on his life support had always been an insurmountable emotional wall between them.

"You misunderstood him," Miles said, handing her a fork. "Back then, the Caldwells and the Suttons were tearing each other apart. Chloe was acting like an absolute lunatic, screaming to have my life support turned off."

A flash of sorrow crossed his eyes. "He pretended to play along with them and signed the consent forms, but behind their backs, he secretly transferred me to a top-tier neuro-rehabilitation center in Switzerland."

The fork in Virginia’s hand jerked violently.

She had never, in her wildest dreams, considered this a possibility.

"For the past few years, every single one of my living expenses, the entire expert medical team—he arranged all of it personally." Miles scratched the back of his neck. "Ginny, do you remember what I told you the second time we met in person, back when we only knew each other online?"

What he said?

—'I’ve been abroad these past few years. If it wasn't for him... I wouldn't have made it to where I am today.'

As his words echoed in her mind, a violent tremor shook Virginia's core.

He really hadn't given up on Wesley back then!

The massive, impenetrable wall of ice that had stood between them for over five years seemed to crack, a microscopic fracture running straight through its center.

She took a deep breath, fighting to steady her emotions, and locked eyes with Miles' undeniably striking face. "Alright, I understand now. What about you? What are you doing for a living? And why are you... dressed in disguise?"

Miles flashed a brilliant smile, pulling out his phone. He opened a social media app and slid it across the table.
