Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

“He was in his wet clothes all night, until they dried with his body heat. Seriously, after a wrenching ordeal like that, how can his body take it? Mr. Ramirez started coughing as soon as he got back that moming.”

“He’s been on meds these past couple of days, and he’s a bit better, but still coughing. Plus, the company’s got a ton of stuff waiting for him to handle…”

After hearing this, Letitia blinked slowly for quite some time. What on earth is Elgin thinking?

She realized that she was finding him more and more unfathomable.

He’s the one who wanted her dead, and yet he’s also the one who saved her. Maybe, just maybe, Elgin is just controlling. Her life, or whatever else, he made sure it’s all in his hands.

“Got it. Letitia said, eyes downcast. Im heading out, butler”

“Very well, madam”

Letitia’s mind was a mess, staring out the car window at the scenery flashing by, trying hard to recall the night she jumped into the lake.

She couldn’t swim and was determined to die, the water was bitterly cold, and she quickly sank.

Water flooded over her, filling her lungs, her consciousness was slipping away…

And then, a pair of hands were holding her up, then her lips were kissed by someone. Back then, she really wanted to open her eyes to see who it was, but she just didn’t have the strength

Now, thinking back, it turns out it was Elgin.

He was ruthless, pushing her to the edge, then pulling her back from the brink

Men, they re a bundle of contradictions.

Letitia pushed the door open and walked into the hospital room, putting her wandering thoughts aside.

“Mom,” she called out with a bright smile, “I’m here to see you.”

Malinda was sitting in a wheelchair, trying to do some rehab exercises.

Being bedridden for so long as a comatose patient, her physical functions had declined, and it would take time to recover

Malinda looked at her lovingly, “Letitia, you’re here. Have a seat.”

“Ive been super busy with work these days, so I haven’t been able to visit much,” Letitia said sweetly, squatting next to Malinda, “But you’re always on my mind.”

She rested her head on her mother’s lap, just like when she was a child.

Having her mom around was wonderful.

Baby, this is your grandma, can you see her? Letitia whispered silently in her heart.

“I think about you every day too, it’s just my body… Malinda sighed, “It’s not much use anymore, I’m a burden to you, costing so much

money

“Money’s not an issue, mom.”

“Don’t lie to me. With a room of this standard in such a hospital, it must be costing a fortune each day.”

Letitia shook her head, “The hospital director is a friend of Walden’s, so we got a discount. Don’t worry about it.”

“I take meds and get IVs every day, but I don’t seem to get much better.”

Elgin refused to let her take the special medicine that cost fifty grand each. However, Malinda continued to take her regular medications. Of course, their effectiveness was just so so

“Mom, the fact that you woke up is already a blessing,” Letitia looked up. “Leave these worries to me. You raised me, now it’s my turn to take care of you.”

Malinda’s fingers gently combed through her soft, long hair.

Even doing nothing, just being with her mother felt perfect for Letitia.

It’s just a shame that happy times always fly by so quickly. Before leaving, Letitia almost cried, holding back her tears, “Mom, take good -care of yourself. I make sure you get to see dad again.”

‘Ainght my biggest wish in this life is to have our family reunited”
