Chapter 99
In a Each Elgin radiated an icy aura that could chill you to the bone.
Someone dared to whisk Letitia away right under his nose? Who the heck was it?
Where did this knight in shining armor come from?!
Find out what happened, and I want to know within five minutes Elgin bellowed. “Move it!”
Right away, nght away…
He slammed his phone onto the seat, his face dark as a storm cloud.
Well, Letitia, you’re quite the trickster, aren’t you?
Elgin glanced at his watch, counting the seconds tick by, his patience hanging by a thread!
Just seconds shy of five minutes, his phone buzzed again.
“Talk”
“Mr. Ramirez, the person who took Mrs Sanders is Neil!”
“Him, really?”
“Yes,” his subordinate answered, and he took Mrs Sanders to a private hospital under the Thompson Group!”
Elgin immediately ordered. Turn around!
This twist was totally unexpected for Elgin.
Letitia was one smart cookie, pulling off a Houdini and saving her bun in the oven!
Thompson Elite Medical Center
In the high-end ward. Letitia lay on the bed, pale-faced with her eyes tightly shut
“Mr. Thompson, she is stable for now, and we ve managed to save the baby,” the doctor said. “But she needs to be taken good care of… otherwise, a miscarriage could happen at any time.”
“Got it
“Il prepare her daily medication, and the head nurse will take care of Ms. Sanders personally.”
Neil nodded, bending down to take a seat beside the bed.
He hadn’t expected Letitia to be pregnant. So who’s the baby daddy? And why was she in the hospital in such a critical condition? This woman seemed to be a walking enigma.
Looking at her face Neil felt a sudden pang of pity, Girls should be living carefree, happy lives, and yet you, you must have been through so much
Otherwise, why would she be all alone in the hospital, waiting for his rescue?
If he hadn’t shown up would her child have been lost?
As he pondered, the sound of humed footsteps approached from outside
Neil furrowed his brow and stepped out of the room.
From a distance, he saw Elgin storming down the hallway.
“Mr. Ramirez?” Neil said. “What brings you here?”
“That’s what I was about to ask you”
“I’m looking after Letitia, Neil replied straightforwardly. “But you and her you’re just her boss, right?”
Elgin had no reason rushing to the hospital for a mere employee.
Elgin’s face was a mask of thunder, “Who told you to look after her?”
got a call from Letitia last night, begging me to save her, so I came.”
“She sure knows how to play her cards right, finding you,” Elgin sneered. “Neil, I’d advise you to stay out of Letitia’s business!*
promised her that I’d be there if she ever needed help. A promise is a promise.”
feels openness didn’t have a bit of deception, but that tone was grating on Elgin.
Compared to the “good guy Neil, he simply looked like the devil incarnate!
ught save her once, but you can’t save her forever, Elgin retorted. “I don’t care what your feelings for Lettha ore, but from now on
Chapter 99
stay away from her!”
With that, Elgin headed towards the room.
Neil blocked his path, “Letitia is still unconscious’
“I’m taking her with mel
“Why?” Neil questioned. ‘She’s very weak right now and needs hospital care.”
“You don’t need to know why!” Elgin shook off his hand forcefully, intent on entering the room.
But Neil stood his ground, “Mr. Ramirez, she needs rest.”
Elgin narrowed his eyes, “Do you… do you like Letitia?”
This woman, she had a knack for seducing men!
Despite their deep-seated enmity, Elgin had been swayed by her charms time and again, his heart softening, his emotions stirred…
And what about other men?
“Mr. Ramirez, you must be joking. I have a girlfriend,” Neil replied. “I’m helping out a friend.”
A catch like Neil would’ve been snatched up ages ago.
His girlfriend was a match made in socialite heaven.
Rich, handsome, gentle, and responsible Neil any girl would cling to him for dear life.
Especially a perfect match, beauty and the brain.
“A friend? How many times have you even met? Elgin probed. “Neil, we’ve been partners for years, and I don’t want to fall out over some lowly woman.”
“You can’t talk about her like that.”
Neil was staunchly defending Letitia, which only fueled Elgin’s irritation.
He made Walden leave and then Neil showed up.
At least Walden had wronged her and hightailed it abroad, so Elgin didn’t see him as a threat.
But now, if Neil really took a shine to her, Elgin wasn’t sure he could beat him.
His needed to win. He was afraid Letitia would be charmed by another man and leave him.
This thought darkened Elgin’s eyes even more.
His desire to possess Letitia… was the possessiveness a man feels for a woman!
“Neil, Letitia isn’t as noble as you think,” Elgin said coldly. “Do you even know who she is?”
“Who is she?”
“My mistress.”
Neil was taken aback, “Mistress? Then the baby she’s carrying…”
Elgin replied, “I told her to get rid of it, she wouldn’t, and instead secretly sought your help to keep it. She’s angling for a leg up through
her child Doesn’t that make her a schemer?”
He didn’t clarify whether the child was his or not, leaving Neil to guess. But Letitia’s image was surely ruined in Neil’s eyes.
Neil was still reeling from the shock, lost for words, while Elgin took the opportunity to kick open the hospital room door and strode in
The loud noise awakened the sleeping Letitia
She popped her eyes open and the first thing she saw was Elgin’s face, dark with anger
That old familiar wave of fear washed over her, and she shrank back a bit involuntarily. “Elgin.”
“You’ve got some nerve!”
“Mr. Ramirez!” Neil burst in right after, “You’re scaring her.”
Glancing from Elgin to Neil, Lelitia’s mind slowly started to clear….
She suddenly looked down at her belly in panic, “My baby!”
“‘s safe. Ne said ‘Lucky I got here in time to get the doctors to operate on you
Lente stared at him, her eyes glistening with tears, barely holding back the flood. “Thank you, thank you so much.

“However, he continued, “the doc says you’re pretty weak, and the baby is in a risky spot too. You’re gonna need to be very careful and nurture your pregnancy carefully, or else….there’s still a chance of a miscarriage.”
