All Chapters of The Wife Who Walked Away Richer: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Elsie’s POVThe next time I woke up, I was once again alone. One look at the white walls and I knew where I was immediately. Judging by how much better I felt, I could already guess I was passed out for a while.Slowly, my time with Damien before I passed out filled my head and I couldn’t help but wonder who had given me a blood transfusion. My gaze wandered to my arm, which was still wrapped tightly.After waiting for a couple of moments and no one came to check on me, I decided to ring the small bell that was by the side of the bed because I wanted to talk to Damien and my family. I reached for the button and rang it quietly before waiting for a nurse to come for me. Sure enough, a nurse walked in a few minutes later and she immediately rushed to my side.“You’re awake,” she said, immediately checking my vitals. “How do you feel?”“Better than the first time,” I whispered as my voice came out raspy and lower than I expected. “Can I see Damien?”“Soon, but first I need to call the do

Elsie’s POVIt was my last day at the hospital and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been here for a total of three weeks and although I wasn't completely healed, I was better than I was when I first woke up.Now, I could swing my injured arm and walk around the hospital premises when I got bored. Things were going smoothly and I really wanted to go back home because the antiseptic smell of the hospital was starting to get to me. My parents have been the most supportive in my healing journey and I couldn’t even thank them enough. Despite their busy schedule, they always made time to see me and when they couldn’t make it at once, one of them would drop by.Let’s not even talk about Damien. We have been joined at the hip since the moment the doctor said I could take visitors. He only went home when he needed a change of clothes and didn’t bother stopping by the office anymore because the hospital had arranged a temporary office for him. The only time he left for the office was when he ha

Elsie’s POVPanic flared in my chest as I choked on my next words. I looked around the bathroom, my eyes frantically searching for a way out, but sadly there were no windows and the only door was being blocked by Victoria, who looked like a messenger from hell.I then decided to talk her out of it."Victoria, listen to me," I started, my voice cracking as I held my hands up in a harmless gesture. "Whatever you think is happening, whatever Lucas told you... is false and you really don't have to do this. You're sick, so let me call a nurse and we can get you help, please.""Help?" Victoria spat the word like I had called her crazy. She took another step forward and now I was firmly pressed against the sink. "You think I need help? I need justice, Elsie. I need you to understand what it’s like to lose everything while the world watches and laughs because that’s exactly what you have done to me.""I haven't done anything to you," I whispered, determined to stand my ground. "I left like yo

Damien’s POVI let out yet another sigh as I straightened my tie that was already perfect.I was currently in the boardroom, sitting at the head of the table with the board members seated around. This was a space that I usually ached to be in, but today a cold dread settled at the pit of my stomach, causing me to be restless. I checked my watch for the fifth time in ten minutes. 2:15 PM and I had promised Elsie I would be back by noon. The meeting had dragged on, and despite the millions of dollars currently being debated at the moment, my mind was far from here as I ached to be with Elsie once again. Unable to help myself, I reached for my phone and slid it beneath the table as I quickly sent a text to her.Then I waited. One minute. Three. Still no reply. She was probably sleeping, I told myself in order not to freak out. She had been through so much and her body needed the rest. But still, this was unlike her because she was always with her phone, no matter where. Unable to hold

Elsie’s POVI didn’t know how much time had passed but when I tore my eyes open and saw I was in yet another hospital room, I wasn’t surprised. I stifled a groan as I tried to move but it seemed as though my whole body no longer belonged to me. What the hell had happened?I let out an involuntary whimper as my body throbbed and then I looked up to see my mom rush toward me with both fear and relief in her eyes.“Oh my God, you’re awake!” she exclaimed in a loud tone, making me wince at the unexpected noise because at this point, even my ears felt tender.“Mom?” I asked, my hazy eyes settling on her. “What happened?”Because the last thing I remembered was being excited about being discharged but now I felt even worse than the first time when we had been attacked.“I’ll get the doctor immediately, baby,” she said before hurrying out of the room.I took the time to look around the room and realized something was different. This place looked more secure and even more expensive. In fact,
