Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105

“No need. Just bring me the first aid kit.”

He sat on the couch with a poker face, cool as a cucumber while tending to his own wound.

It was dead silent around; nobody dared to disturb him.

White gauze wrapped around his hand, Elgin casually tied a knot and suddenly asked, “How’s the situation with the prison?”

The butler didn’t catch on at first, “Prison? Oh… Mr. Ramirez, are you talking about Dr. Sanders?”

“Who else would I be referring to?”

Dr Sanders has been locked up, haven’t heard any fuss about him.”

Elgin’s lips curled into a chilly smirk, “Tomorrow moming, bring him here.”

The butler’s heart skipped a beat, but he could only reply, “Yes, Mr. Ramirez.”

Getting up, Elgin kicked the first aid kit away and headed upstairs, agitated.

Letitia… this is all your doing!

The butler froze for two seconds, then snapped out of it and hurried off to take care of business.

The next day.

Letitia freshened up, had a quick breakfast, and was ready to head to work.

Just a few steps out, she spotted a figure standing at the villa’s entrance from afar. He looked familiar.

On a closer look, her expression changed completely, and her bag dropped to the ground.

Letitia rushed forward in a panic, “Dad!”

Hearing her voice, Preston also turned around, “Letitial”

They embraced each other.

Whenever Letitia visited her father in jail, they were separated by thick glass she could see him but couldn’t touch him. She never thought there would come a day when they could meet like this, breathing the air of freedom!

“Dad, how come you’re here?” Letitia was both shocked and overjoyed. “Were you released as innocent?”

“I don’t know, someone picked me up early this morning and then brought me here.”

Years of prison life had stripped Preston of his former dignity. His hair turned gray, his back somewhat stooped, his hands were rough and covered with tiny cuts, some still bleeding.

Letitia’s heart ached, “Dad, your hands… they used to be so well-cared for, they’re meant for surgery…”

“Ah. it doesn’t matter, I’m… not going to be operating anymore.”

“Dad, there will be a chance, there will be.”

Preston gave a sad smile and changed the subject, “Letitia, where is this place?”

“This is… Ivory Towers, Elgin’s residence.”

“Why did he bring me here?”

Letitia’s heart skipped a beat too. Yeah… what’s Elgin’s next move?

“For a family reunion,” Elgin approached leisurely with his hands behind his back, a good chance for a heart-to-heart chat.”

Letitia immediately shielded her father behind her.

What are you afraid of?” he raised an eyebrow, “So you do get scared after all?”

Letitia was on guard, “You can’t possibly be this kind-hearted.”

“Don’t paint me as the bad guy. After all… he’s my father-in-law, I’ve got to treat him well.”

A sly grin played on Elgin’s lips, but his eyes were ice cold. He was intimidating.

Father-in-law? Preston’s face went pale, “Letitia, you… you married him? How could you marry him!”

Many woren dream of being Mrs. Ramirez, and she got it without breaking a sweat, replied Elgin

Preston shook his head. ‘No, it’s not like that… Letitia, what exactly happened?”

Dad. Be a long story, I’m fine?

Letitia forced a smile, trying to look like she was doing well,
