The nurse had just typed a message on her cell phone screen. Her thumb was about to press the -send- button, when suddenly the sound of rapid steps pounded the floor of the hospital corridor.

"No need to send it," whispered a sharp voice behind her.

The nurse reflexively turned her head. Her eyes widened at the sight of the figure standing there-Nora, with a cold face and piercing gaze.

"I'm just-"

Nora snatched the cell phone out of her hand. She read the text message that hadn't been sent, then quickly deleted it.

"Listen carefully," Nora said as she took out an ATM card from her small wallet. She held it out to him. "There's two million inside. Take it. But don't ever send that message to Samuel."

The nurse looked doubtful, swallowing hard. "But... Mr. Samuel paid me to find Mrs. Rebecca."

"And now I'm paying you to keep your mouth shut," Nora cut in quickly, her tone leaving no room for debate.

The woman disguised as a nun was instantly recognized. She looked down for a moment,

  • MR. CEO, Your Wife Is Back!   Chapter 90

    Samuel sat back down in his chair after watching Rebecca, Liam, and Reno disappear from view. He sat silently, staring blankly at the empty glass. His eyes looked sad, his mind drifting back to the past—to the time when Rebecca was still his wife.His head leaned against the chair, and slowly his eyes closed. All the memories he had been suppressing surfaced one by one.It was a cold, biting night. Light rain tapped against the apartment window. Samuel lay in bed with a feverish forehead, a weak body, and a throat that felt like it was on fire. He didn’t like being taken care of—it was too much trouble, he said. But Rebecca, as usual, didn’t care about Samuel’s refusal. “I told you, I don’t need to be looked after,” Samuel snapped when Rebecca came in with a bowl of porridge and a thermos of hot water.Rebecca approached with a calm expression. “You have a high fever. If I leave you alone, it could get worse.”Samuel turned his face away, refusing to look at her. “I’m not a child.”R

    Rebecca returned to the table, putting on a brave face as if everything was fine. However, the sadness she felt was evident in her eyes. Her gaze was blank for a moment before she realized Reno was calling her."Mommy... Mommy, what's wrong?" Reno asked, looking at his mother with confusion.Rebecca smiled slightly, gently patting her son’s head. “Nothing’s wrong, sweetheart. Mommy’s just tired.”Liam looked at Rebecca closely, then glanced briefly at Samuel, who was still sitting with Nora. Samuel’s face was expressionless, but his eyes continued to follow Rebecca’s movements from a distance.“If you want to go home first, I can take Reno out to play for a while,” Liam offered gently.Rebecca shook her head. “No need. I can stay here. Besides, Reno is having fun.”Reno smiled again as he ate his spaghetti. But his little eyes occasionally glanced at his mother’s weary face.Samuel was still watching from the opposite table. He closed his eyes for a moment, then memories of the past r

    That afternoon, the atmosphere at an outdoor café in the city center was bustling. The air was quite cool, perfect for spending time with family or loved ones.Rebecca sat at one of the tables with Liam and Reno. They looked relaxed, laughing quietly as they enjoyed their weekend. Reno sat between them, playing with a spoon, his five-year-old face beaming with joy.“Reno, do you want spaghetti or chicken wings?” Liam asked, opening the menu.“Spaghetti!” Reno answered enthusiastically.Rebecca smiled. “Aren’t you tired of eating that all the time?”“No, Mommy! Reno loves it!” the boy replied, tapping the table.Soon, the waiter came to take their order. After that, Liam leaned back comfortably and turned to Rebecca.“You seem calmer today,” Liam said softly. Rebecca nodded. “Yes, because I’m happy to enjoy some free time with Reno.” Liam looked at her intently. “I’m glad to see you smiling like this.”Rebecca lowered her head slightly. There was a hint of uncertainty in her eyes,

    At 7:00 in the morning, Samuel's apartment was quiet. Samuel had just finished showering and was putting on his shirt when the doorbell rang. He walked to the door and opened it. "Mom? Why are you here so early in the morning?! What's wrong?!""There's something I want to talk to you about." Mrs. Wanna stepped inside. The woman sat on the sofa, followed by Samuel. "Just say it, Mom!"Mrs. Wanna looked at her son seriously. "Samuel, how old are you now?"Samuel narrowed his eyes. “Five years older than five years ago, Mom,” Samuel answered half-jokingly. But Mrs. Wanna didn’t laugh. “Mommy is serious. You’re 31 years old, Samuel. I want to see you happy, with a wife, with a family. Mommy also wants a grandchild.”Samuel fell silent. He stared at his teacup.“Is this about Nora again?” Samuel asked softly. “Yes. Nora is a good woman, Samuel. She’s patient, she’s been waiting for you faithfully. She’s been waiting too long, hoping you’ll marry her.”Samuel sighed. “Mom, I don’t lov

    In the stuffy basement, Sindy and Anthony began to despair."We have to get out of here," Sindy muttered, her voice hoarse.Anthony turned his head. "I know. But the guards here are too vigilant."“I’ve marked it. Every night at nine o’clock, the main lights are turned off briefly. Maybe that’s when they change shifts,” Sindy whispered, recalling.Anthony nodded. “Then we’ll try tonight. But we need a tool to cut these ropes first.”Sindy turned toward the corner of the room. “There’s a rusty nail on the back wall. If I can move a little toward it.”Anthony slowly turned his body. “We’ll work together. You push with your feet, and I’ll try to move my body in that direction.”With great effort, they began to slowly shift their bodies. Their movements were slow but steady. Meanwhile, the sound of footsteps outside the room grew increasingly rare. The hope was small, but it was enough to keep them going.On the other side of the city, an elegant restaurant in the business district was bu

    That afternoon, in the midst of her busy schedule, Rebecca received a message from an unknown number. The message was brief but made her heart race.[Rebecca, it's me—Liam's mother. I've found your mother. She's at a remote hospital in the hills outside the city. Sorry I couldn't let you know sooner.]Rebecca immediately stood up from her chair, her face tense. Her hands trembled as she held the phone. Without hesitation, she called the number.“Is it true that you’ve found my mother?” Rebecca asked hurriedly, without any preamble.“Yes, Rebecca, I overheard Liam talking to someone. I grew suspicious, so I investigated discreetly. It turns out you’re right—your mother was taken to that hospital. But it seems her identity has been disguised; her name isn’t her real name.” Rebecca swallowed hard. “How is she?” “I haven’t been able to see her directly… The hospital is quite secluded.”Rebecca clenched her fists, holding back the rage boiling in her chest. “Thank you for the informa
