Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 128

Vidonia had barely walked when her stomach suddenly started growling.

It was already 2 p.m. – definitely time to grab some lunch.

Samson chuckled, reached out, and playfully ruffled her hair, “Guess we should get some food in you first.”

Vidonia pouted and hung her head low, “Right.”

She was feeling down and didn’t even realize how intimate the gesture was

The hospital was still bustling, a constant stream of people coming and going

But inside the VIP hospital room, the tension was thick

Elgin had a grim expression, “Why hasn’t she woken up yet? Wasn’t the anesthesia supposed to wear off by the afternoon?”

It was already 6 o’clock, and there was no sign of Letitia snapping out of it!

“Mr. Ramirez, please calm down. Let me check… The doctor held his breath and meticulously examined Letitia’s condition.

The results showed that everything was totally normal.

Elgin, looking none too pleased, stood by, scrutinizing every move the doctor made.

“Mr. Ramirez, it might be that Mrs. Ramirez doesn’t want to wake up,” the doctor finally said. “She might be avoiding something in the real world she can’t accept or face, so her subconscious chooses to bail, to just keep sleeping.”

Elgin, hands clasped behind his back, asked, “So what’s the fix?”

“Um… we wait a bit more, or maybe try to shake her up with something she deeply cares about, to signal to her that it’s time to wake up from this dream.”

Elgin, clearly impatient, just nodded and waved everyone out

The room fell silent again.

The last rays of the sun streamed through the window, casting golden light on the floor.

It almost seemed peacefully timeless.

Letitia lay there with her eyes closed, deeply unconscious, not even a flutter of her eyelids, devoid of life. Just lying there in silence.

“Are you punishing me in your own way?” Elgin asked. “Is that it? I said I’d love you in my way, are you doing the same? Letitia, you’re so petty and vengeful.”

Elgin slowly approached the bedside and gently swept her hair from her forehead.

Not willing to wake up? Can’t deal with the fact that the child is gone? But she has to wake up eventually.

“You can run but you can’t hide, Elgin whispered close to her ear, “Letitia, if you don’t wake up now, I’ll start with the people closest to you… one by one.”

Her eyes twitched slightly.

It worked. She always did seem to prefer learning things the hard way.

To get her to wake up faster, Elgin continued, “Open your eyes, Letitia, don’t sleep any longer.”

“Sooner or later, you have to face reality.”

“I told you, this is the beginning, not the end.”

“The future… it’s only going to get better, you know?”

Elgin repeated over and over, “You can’t escape me, and you definitely can’t hide from me.”

Letitia just felt annoyed. His deep, magnetic voice kept speaking right into her ear, every word crystal clear. She didn’t want to wake up.

So cold, so dark, she felt like she was sinking in an endless black hole.

There was light ahead, but she didn’t want to go towards it.

For Letita, being alive was just too exhausting. What had she done wrong to deserve this….

“Letitia wake up. I command you to wake up now.”

will staying asleep solve anything?

sin prison, and your mother is in the hospital, are you giving up on them?

ather mother. It had been so long since she had felt the warmth of family

Letita opened her mouth, her throat parched.

Elgin watched as the woman in Tront of him slowly parted her pale, chapped lips

He turned to grab a cup of water, dipped a cotton swab in it, and gently dampened the comers of her lips. But to Elgin, this was too slow

He took a sip himself, leaned down, and kissed her, passing the water into her mouth.

The temperature was just right, the water was sweet…

Letitia slowly opened her eyes and saw the man’s face close to hers.

Elgin. His eyelashes were long, and with his eyes closed, he looked quite affectionate

The sensation on her lips reminded Letitia what was happening.

Whether he was giving her water or kissing her, Letitia didn’t care, she felt a chill in her heart.

She opened her mouth and bit down hard!

“Hisss– Elgin frowned. He slowly pulled away, meeting her cold, unfamiliar gaze

A stranger’s gaze like he had never seen before

“You’re awake,” Elgin said, standing up straight, nonchalantly wiping his lips with his finger.

Letitia remained silent, her eyes filled with resentment.

She was still weak, and even more heartbroken. The child was gone

“Don’t look at me like that: Elgin said, “you’ll have kids again.”

He paused for a few seconds, then added, “Our kids”

His words were like a death sentence for the child that was.

Letitia closed her eyes, feeling a stinging pain. She couldn’t cry anymore; it turns out that when sorrow reaches its peak, there are no tears left to shed

“Elgin you’re so cruel,” she said, squeezing the words from her throat, “you killed my child with your own hands!”

The child she had so carefully and desperately tried to protect, was gone.

Not from an accident, not by Shela’s hand, not from health issues, but at the hands of Elgin!

Elgin stood by the bed, looking at her, “That child was a mistake from the start. Letitia, I just helped you end that mistake.”

“What gives you the right to end it for me? By what right do you decide the life and death of my child?”

“Because I’m your husband”

Letitia looked at him coldly. Just like… the cold way he used to look at her.

Now the tables had turned.

Elgin couldn’t stand her gaze, he turned his head away, unwilling to meet her eyes.

“Husband?” Letitia laughed, a laugh filled with desolation and helplessness, “Have you ever fulfilled a husband’s duties and responsibilities from the start? Have you ever treated me as your wife, with respect, understanding, and love?”

“I will in the future.”

There is no future! Letitia’s sharp voice cut him off, “Elgin, there can never be a future between us again!”

Her kid is her everything. He took away her everything and dares to talk about a future?

What a joke! She could never forgive him in this lifetime!

Elgin’s face darkened. “Then who do you want a future with?”

“Anyone but you.” Letitia bit her lower lip, glaring at him, “Elgin, I hate you, I’ll hate you till the day I die!”

His expression turned utterly sinister.
