Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife
Chapter 140

Chapter 140

Hes actually planning to squeeze into this tiny hospital bed with her!

With his towering height of six feet, he can’t even stretch his legs out!

“Eigin, get up!” Letitia nudged his shoulder, “Who said I wanted to share a bed with you?”

He kept his eyes closed, all relaxed, “You want me to sleep on the floor?”

“Just go back to your mansion!”

“Without you there, I won’t go back.”

Letitia was at a loss for words again.

On this one-meter bed, two grown-ups lying down made it hard to even turn over.

She had no choice but to lean against Elgin

That was bad enough, but to add to the embarrassment, every slight move made the bed squeak andcreak. It simply couldn’t handle the weight of two people.

“You… go sleep on the couch!” Letitia pointed, “Otherwise, I’ll go sleep there”

Otherwise, there’s no way she would get a good night’s sleep.

As she tried to get up, Elgin’s hand pressed on her belly, Sleep, stop fussing.”

Til hit the couch! I sleep there! You, oh so precious Mr. Ramirez, can have the bed!”

Yet Elgin still held her down, making it impossible for Letitia to get up.

He, however, found this quite amusing, like pinning down a squeaky mouse, a smile curling at thecorners of his mouth.

Annoyed, Letitia punched him in the chest and turned her back to him.

Elgin wrapped his arms around her from behind, “Goodnight.”

On the tiny hospital bed, the two of them squeezed together.

Elgin quickly fell asleep, his breathing steady, his hand always resting on her waist, never leaving.Letitia, however, lay awake, not a hint of sleepiness

In the past… she knew Elgin despised her, tormented her, and she knew how to counteract it, how toendure. But now, Elgin was an entirely different person, a man who was suddenly showering her withaffection…

This sea change left Letitia completely disoriented, unsure of her next move.

Feeling hatred is straightforward, but dealing with love is harder than it looks.

It was well into the night before Letitia finally couldn’t resist sleep, and in a daze, it seemed like Elgingot up.

He seemed to lay a kiss on her forehead, but she was too tired to open her eyes

When Letitia woke up, it was already ten in the morning.

The doctor came for his rounds, and Letitia asked, “When can I be discharged?”

“Uh… I’ll have to check with Mr. Ramirez ”

“Are you the doctor or is he the doctor? Why ask him?

The doctor replied. “Mr. Ramirez has instructed us to make sure you’re in good health, ready to starttrying for a baby as soon as possible. Mrs. Ramirez, you’ve recovered physically, but conditioning willtake some time, you can’t rush it.”

Letitia fell silent.

Trying for a baby? Having a child with Elgin? That’s just laughable and absurd…

This means, the longer she stays in the hospital, the better, otherwise, once she’s back at Ivory Towers,Elgin will… have his way with

hert

Letitia clenched her fists. Looking out at the clear weather outside, Letitia said, “Prepare the car, I wantto see my mother.”

The servant complied, first checking with Elgin before daring to make the arrangements.

Wanting to present a good image to her mother, Letitia did her makeup with care.

The sanatorium was much quieter compared to a regular hospital.

Arriving at the room. Malinda was still deep in sleep, looking much thinner.

Perhaps it was a mother-daughter connection, but Malinda’s eyes fluttered and she suddenly woke up,“Lelitia…”

Mam, fm here.”

Malinda looked at her “Am I dreaming, or

are you really here…”

Tm really here, mom.” Letiba held her hand. “I came to see you. I’ve missed you”

With her mother, she could act like a spoiled daughter, be herself, and not have to be so strong.

Letitia. Tears started falling from Malinda’s eyes.

“Mom, why are you crying? I’m all right”

Malinda struggled to sit up on the bed. “You silly child, always only telling me the good news, howmuch have you suffered on your own?”

Letitia bit her lip. “Mom, everything will get better”

Shela had been there once, spilling all the beans about Letitia’s situation, they both knew it withoutsaying, but neither took the initiative to bring it up.

What would that change? Cry their eyes out together?

“I know you’re trying to cheer me up, but.

How could Elgin ever be nice to her!

Her most important virtue and marriage, were both ruined by Elgin!

“Mom, let’s not talk about that, I can handle it, you don’t need to worry.” Letitia said. “You just need tofocus on getting better, until you can see dad again”

“Your dad and I have both become your burdens

“No

as long as you’re here, I will always be a child, able to be spoiled with you.”

Malinda hesitated for a few seconds, then asked. “What Shela said.”

“Don’t mind her, don’t believe her words. Letitia said, “Mom, you have to trust me.”

Even if she was lying, it was a lie out of kindness. Shela would only upset Malinda!

Malinda was tired, after a short chat she became drowsy, her gaze vacant.

After coaxing her to sleep. Letitia gripped her phone and stepped out of the room.

Standing at the end of the corridor, she called Elgin.

“Hello. He quickly picked up, “What’s up?”

I’m at my

mom’s

“I know Elgin was always on top of her whereabouts

“When will you give my mom the special medicine, Letitia asked, “Her condition is only getting worse,we can’t delay any longer.”

The medication was expensive, and only with Elgin’s nod would the hospital prescribe it

She had once borrowed money from Walden to pay the fees, but the hospital returned it

Elgin’s voice was indifferent “You know what you need to do for me to agree to save her.”

“Elgin, the deep-seated hatred is between your dad and mine. The death of the child is between youand me. From start to finish, my mom is just an innocent, pitiful woman! Can’t you just let her go

“Her fate is in your hands, not mine”

Letitia clenched her teeth. “You’re just threatening mel

“I’m giving you a chance. Elgin replied. “Others are not worthy of my threats.”

He wanted her to bow down, to back off, to be docile, to comply

Elgin chimed in again, “Think it over and give me a ring whenever. I’m all ears, anytime.”

And with that, he hung up.

Lentia clutched her phone, gazing out the window and taking deep breaths

A few minutes ticked by, and she hit redial.

your mind?” Elgin’s voice Roated through light as a feather

Say it?”

Letitia replied, “I’m not going through with the divorce. I’m sticking with you.”

“Theres my good girl,” Elgin’s tone softened, “See? It’s all a piece of cake.”

“As for the medicine, my mom needs it today”

“No problem.” Elgin’s words were pure gold

At his beck and call, someone got cracking right away
