Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

She opened her eyes and heard Shela say, “Finally awake, huh? Tough cookie, aren’t you? Looks like we can take a bit more blood from you.”

“You still want my blood!”

“Oh, come on, don’t play innocent. Your little stunt landed my dad in the hospital with a stroke, so you’ve got to own up to it. Donating blood is the least you can do, and Mr. Ramirez agrees

Letitia struggled to sit up, “What a sick play you and your father have put on!”

“Yep, serves you right for being so gullible and for insisting on keeping that baby!” Shela walked over to the bedside, “Letitia, if you just play ball and get rid of it, I could let you off the hook.”

She clenched her teeth, “Not happening.”

This child was her own flesh and blood, she wanted to keep it.

Then we’ll just keep taking your blood and see how long you can protect yourself, let alone the baby!”

“Shela, you’re so hell-bent on me getting rid of the child because of the father, right?” Letitia guessed.

Shela’s face changed for a moment but quickly denied it, “No!”

“I guessed right.”

“Ha, keep dreaming. Shela said mockingly, “The father of this little mistake is just some ugly, fat old man.”

“I’m not that easy to fool. That night….

Letitia had a vivid memory. Even in the dark, although she couldn’t see his face, but judging by his voice, physique, and the faint scent on him, the man was a high-caliber, classy guy.

Plus, he had promised he would marry her. Such a man could never be an ugly, fat old-timer.

“You have the nerve to mention that night!” Shela seethed with jealousy, “Shameless woman! Threw away all your decency!”

Letitia smirked sarcastically, The ones with no shame are you and your father. I was just fine in the psych ward; it was. you who shipped me off to that hotel!”

“That didn’t mean you could just sleep with any guy!”

“Shela, if I spill the beans to Elgin…”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Shela shrieked, “Then I’ll reveal your pregnancy and have Mr. Ramirez get rid of the child himself!”

Letitia looked away coldly and got out of bed.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Shela blocked her, “Until my dad is up and well, you’re staying in the hospital, ready to be tapped for blood at any time!

Letitia shook off her hand and walked out with determination.

After grabbing a bite at a restaurant outside the hospital, she finally felt some strength return.

“Mrs. Ramirez, a shadow fell in front of her, and Ranen stood there, “Mr. Ramirez sent me to take you back to Ivory

Towers.”

She nodded, “Just let me finish.”

She felt like crying, but she had no right to tears; her tears didn’t worth anything.

Back at Ivory Towers, Letitia was hungry again.

But it was so late, where could she find food?

She searched the kitchen and finally found a thermos on the table, with nourishing soup that Phedra brought daily.

Perfect! She had just been drained of blood and needed to replenish her nutrients!

Letitia couldn’t wait to dig in when Elgin’s voice came from the doorway, “Wait.”

She turned and glanced at him.

“What’s up?” Letitia asked emotionlessly, “Am I not even allowed to eat now?”

Elgin walked over with a stern face and took the thermos, “Eat anything you want, just not this.”

“Why? You used to force this on me! Now…” Now that she needed to recuperate, he forbade it!

The frustrations of the whole day couldn’t be held back anymore.
