All Chapters of The Substitute Wife of a Paralyzed CEO: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Victoria sat in front of Chris with mixed feelings. The man's face looked a little tense as he conveyed his decision to transfer Abigail to another hospital.Chris stared at her intently before finally saying in a soft voice, “Victoria, are you sure about this decision? I'm not saying another hospital isn't good, but Abigail has been getting intensive care here, and we understand her condition well.”Victoria swallowed, trying to keep her tone steady. “I understand, Doc. But the facilities at that hospital are more complete, especially for the long-term care that Abby might need. And... there is someone who fully supports this move.”Chris sighed. There was a glint in his eye that made it even harder for Victoria to shake her doubts.“I only want the best for you and Abby. You know that, don't you?”Victoria nodded. Her heart felt heavy, but she couldn't let her emotions get the better of her logic. “Of course, Doc. I really appreciate everything you've done. But I have to try everyth

Victoria walked quickly through the hospital hallway. Even though Noah had asked her not to rush, she couldn't slow down. It was as if an invisible force was pulling her towards Abigail's hospital room.When the door opened, the child's sweet smile greeted her—although her face was still a little pale.“Mommy!” she cried weakly, but it was enough to warm Victoria's heart.She immediately approached, gently stroking her daughter's hair, which had been tidied up again after the nurse cleaned it this morning.“How are you feeling today, sweetheart?” she asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.Abigail smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Better, Mommy. Doctor Hans said I'm a VIP patient. That means I'm special, right?”Victoria chuckled, although her heart felt bitter. “Of course you are special. You have always been the most special in Mommy's eyes.”Abigail giggled, then pulled the blanket tighter. Her cheeks began to turn red, a sign that her condition was slowly improving. But

That night, Victoria's body felt weaker and weaker. Her gaze occasionally glowed, and every step she took felt so heavy, as if all her energy had been drained. In the room, Ella looked at her with an expression of worry that was difficult to hide.“Mrs. Victoria, are you okay?” she asked, her tone soft but attentive.Victoria shook her head slowly, forcing a slight smile. “I'm just a little tired, Ella. Maybe I just need a little rest.”However, Ella's gaze remained sharp, full of doubt. “But you look very pale,” she said, her voice containing an anxious tone.“It's okay,” Victoria said, trying to reassure her. “Can you keep Abigail company tonight? I don't want her to be alone.”Ella looked at her doubtfully before finally nodding. “Of course, ma'am. But you should get a good rest. Should I call a doctor?”Victoria raised a weak hand, stopping her. “No need. I jus

The trip to the hospital went smoothly. Noah drove calmly, while Chelsea sat in the back seat with him. They had a light conversation to distract her from her worries.As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Victoria went straight to Abigail's ward. However, in the hallway leading to the room, she found James standing there, smiling at her.“Victoria,” he said, his voice sounding friendly. ‘Can I talk to you for a minute?”Victoria looked at him doubtfully. ’I'm in a hurry, James. What's going on?”James approached, a little too close for her comfort. ”Just a minute. I want to show you something.”Victoria sighed, knowing she wouldn't be able to avoid it. “All right. But make it quick.”She followed him to a small café near the hospital. Victoria felt something was wrong with the situation.“Have a seat,” James said as he pulled out a chair for her.Victoria sat down, trying to keep as much distance from him as possible. “What do you want to talk about?”James stared at her intensely

The days passed without any major surprises. Their routine felt like a neatly engraved pattern. Each morning began with breakfast with Logan, which, despite often being colored by small debates, still felt familiar. After that, Victoria continued with special therapy designed to help her recover.Logan's progress has been remarkable. Now, he is able to stand for longer periods of time and has even started to walk with the help of a cane. Although his steps are still unsteady, the spirit radiating from his eyes makes all the hard work feel worth it.“You know, Victoria,” he said one day, looking at her from where he was standing, ”I'm starting to feel like myself again. It feels like I have control over my life.”Victoria smiled, trying to hide the emotions that began to well up in her eyes. “That's because you never gave up, Logan. It's all thanks to your efforts.”She chuckled, her voice deep and full of warmth. ”And thanks to you too. If it weren't for you, I might have given up a l
