Chapter 116: Aurora Meets Her FatherThey were talking, and Aurora was pacing the corridors when she stopped in front of the door. She hesitated just inches away from knocking when she heard voices in the room and decided to subtly eavesdrop."Two days? It feels endless. We should have taken care of him as soon as those photos and videos were leaked," Taylor protested impatiently, pacing back and forth."I've said it before, it would be shooting ourselves in the foot. Besides, these days were necessary to make sure he's okay and living with his family so we can handle everything cleanly.""And that woman and the two kids?" Taylor asked, a bit uneasy."Nothing an accidental poisoning or a car crash after losing control can't solve. It will be just the woman? And the kids, can't we just send them to an orphanage? At least they would have a better life than that woman had before. After all, how can a woman with two small children take care of a debilitated man?" he asked mockingly.Auror
Chapter 117: End of an Agony?Elizabeth moved among the cars, trying to find the one where Gaby was, unconcerned and unaware that someone was following her."Where is she?" she murmured impatiently, glancing at the clock with concern for the time. Taylor was just a few meters away when he took a sharp object from his pocket; the distance shortened until he was close enough to hear her voice whispering."Hey!" Gaby shouted, speeding into the parking lot. Taylor ran between the cars, trying to hide. "Took me a while, huh?" she asked while sneakily observing, trying to find the man without Elizabeth noticing."Why did it take so long?""I promise it won't happen again, okay?" she declared, smiling nervously, while Elizabeth got into the car."What's the plan?" Elizabeth asked curiously."At this very moment, they've called a technician to investigate what's wrong with the power. But they won't be able to fix the problem. We're going to the site as specialized electricians. Jayden has the
Chapter 118: Surprise at the MansionThey looked in every room, searched the entire house, but found no one. No one understood what had really happened, and it was even stranger—why would the men be guarding an empty house?"There's no one in the house," the officer announced to Elizabeth, who was hoping to see Richard rescued."No! This can't be possible!" she asserted, desperate, running through the police officers and entering the house."It's alright, let her see with her own eyes," Jayden suggested when one of the men tried to stop her.She walked through each room, feeling her head spin amid the despair of having returned to square one. She entered one of the rooms, where she stopped in the midst of the nostalgic feeling that the simple room with just a bed and a desk brought to her. She looked around skeptically; she knew he was there, could feel something familiar."How can this be... Is it too late?" she murmured as her head swayed. She got up and absentmindedly opened the dr
119. My wife, I know who she is!"You don't remember? What are you doing here? Where is Beth and my daughters?" he insisted with questions as Elizabeth carefully got out of bed."How do you not remember me?" she asked weakly."Should I? Who are you to be sleeping next to me?"I'm your wife, Elizabeth." a mocking laughter filled the room."Girl... You must be going crazy, how can you be my wife? You can't have two wives, and besides, I wouldn't marry two women."You don't have two wives, just me, only me!" she asserted desperately."Whoever you are, I've never seen you in my entire life. Where is my wife?" he snapped, glaring at Elizabeth harshly."I'm here." a cheerful voice chimed in as she entered the room, carrying a tray with his breakfast." It's time for you to eat something, so I decided to prepare it myself."Beth... Why did you let another woman stay here? And where are we?" he asked, confused, while Elizabeth observed the two."I told you, it was the only safe place because y
Chapter 120. Richard's ToughnessEverything was ready to take Richard to the doctor, and Jayden helped wheel him in a wheelchair."Do you really think you're going to accompany my husband?" Elizabeth asked, holding onto the arm of the woman following the wheelchair."He's my husband. Why don't you go back where you came from?" she retorted, annoyed, then smiled maliciously at Elizabeth."Beth!" Richard called. "What are you doing? I've told you to ignore this woman. I don't know what she wants, but I hope she understands her place.""You have to remember... This woman is a fraud!" Elizabeth exclaimed."Liz... Let's get out of here, please," Gaby pleaded nervously."It's okay. Let's accompany him to the doctor for now. We'll focus on his recovery, and then we can take care of other things," suggested Taylor, while Ailda waited for them at the foot of the stairs.She avoided looking at Richard. Every time she did, her eyes welled up with tears, and she broke into sobs."Where is he!" th
Chapter 121. Alfred's InsightAlfred and Ailda made their way to Elizabeth's room; Coralie was obviously nearby. She pretended to be heading to the children's room and quickly retreated upon seeing Alfred."This woman..." Alfred murmured suspiciously."My right-hand woman," Ailda announced."She just reminded me of someone, but I don't know who it could be. It's like I've seen her before," he commented thoughtfully."How is Elizabeth?" Ailda asked, seeing Gaby coming out of the room."Shaken, devastated, irritated. Many things. These months have been draining," she commented without enthusiasm."Let's go inside; I need to talk to her," Alfred ordered, pulling Gaby back into the room."Grandma..." she sighed, heading towards Alfred and hugging him."Don't get discouraged like this, okay?" he tenderly requested as she nestled in his arms. "I need to talk to you all," he alarmed as the three of them sat side by side. He pulled a chair and sat in front of the three."Is there something el
Chapter 122. Some Thoughts Escape Me.["Do not provoke the impostor Elizabeth; Alfred has a plan, so pretend everything is fine and go along with her lie."] As I read the message, I furrowed my brow, showing discomfort. Nonetheless, I complied."For nothing. You're right. This accident injured your ligaments, but it can be reversed. After all, you have access to the best doctors. You didn't need to stay in this condition for so long," I said."That's good. Now... Can you leave? I want to be alone with my wife," Richard said. Jayden clenched his fists, holding back his anger. He stepped back and left the room.Richard would spend the night in the hospital, and in the morning, he would undergo surgery to correct what had been done. Beth stayed the entire time in Richard's room, while Jayden waited outside. Even though he wanted to talk to Richard, it made no sense since he didn't remember. Jayden remained thoughtful about everything until Beth finally came out of the room."What do you
123 Let Her Think She Won."He will have to rest," the doctor began instructing. "Until he is able to move, we will have to immobilize his legs, and then he will have to undergo rehabilitation to be able to walk as before.""Heavens... That's great," Ailda sighed in relief."When can we take him home?" Jayden asked."Tomorrow, as you have all the assistance at home, and the surgery was not risky at all. You can transfer him tomorrow."And so it was done. The next day, an ambulance was used to transfer Richard to his mansion, and he could finally be in his room. But apparently, he was in a bad mood."You have to be patient; the doctors said you will be able to walk in no time," Beth commented apprehensively."I know, but I'm tired of being stuck to this bed. I know they are mistreating you, and that's why I want them to understand that you are my wife, and they must respect you. I won't run away anymore, and I won't give up what I worked for just because they don't accept you. They are
