Chapter 135
All through the day till night, Eli was searching for his wife. But at that time, Lisa had left the country. She left for good without telling anyone about her decision.
That night, after seeing Santiago wheeled out of the theater, she couldn’t explain what emotional trauma she experienced. The handsome, well built President Axel was now struggling with his life because of what her husband Eli had done.
There and then, she made the decision to end her marriage with him. Quietly she left unnoticed and contacted her lawyer. She would birth her baby and raise him/her without Eli .
She doesn’t want Eli to be associated with her child even if his blood runs through the face of her baby.
Eli ‘s temperament had led to her decision to leave him. She can’t possibly remain with someone who can hurt his own family. She’s walked out of his life and gone for good.
That night, Eli was like a frustrated man. He’s mad at himself for shooting Santiago. His sister and especially his niece had severed ties with him.
His parents and brother have equally gone against him. Then his wife, the only one he thought would listen to his explanation also disappeared and left him with a divorce paper.
What about his unborn child? Will everyone just go and leave him in solitude? Even his unborn child had gone away from him, taken away by its mother?
Oh gush, for heaven’s sake, he didn’t mean to shoot that day. It was all a mistake. Who would even listen to him and hear him out. Why did he do it?
Few hours later, Santiago opened his eyes. Everything appeared blurry at the first sight, but slowly, his vision became cleared. He saw Mia by his bedside and held her hand.
“Aunt,” he called out gently. He seemed to be very weak. He heard all that Mia said and knew that Aurora had returned to Florence City. He wants to go and meet her immediately. He also remembered that he was shot by Eli , Aurora’s uncle.
“Santiago you are awake!! I’ll call the doctor at once!!”Mia dashed out. She was too excited and ran all the way to the call Mile.
Santiago blinked and tried standing up but felt his chest bandaged. He pulled off the drip on his hand and carefully helped himself stand up. He was staggering and waggled, but helped himself to the restroom. He doesn’t know how long he stayed there, but when he stepped out, he saw Mia, Mile and some nurses looked at him with a worried expression.
“Why the worried face?” Santiago asked as he carefully walked back to sit on the bed. “Why did you stand up without the doctor’s knowledge?” Mile asked but he was happy that Santiago scaled through, his life is hard and cannot be easily choked out.
“If I need a doctor’s permission to go and pee, whose permission do I need to be discharged?” Santiago asked and sighed, he wants to leave here as soon as possible “silly nephew. Lie down properly I need to examine you” Mile instructed with a broad smile.
Obediently, Santiago laid down with his eyes open. He watched Mile examine him with his stethoscope, check the wound on his chest that was healing very fast.
Having done all that, he declared that Santiago was fine and out of harm’s way. But needed to stay for another week in the hospital for a total recovery.
But Santiago asked that he should be discharged immediately. Mia pleaded that Santiago stay a little more in the hospital. If anything happens to him, Aurora would chop their heads off.
“Do you want Aurora to skin me alive?” Mile asked. It’s risky to stay out of hospital in his present condition. What about the wounds that are not fully healed? “If it’s Aurora, she’s my wife I can handle her” Santiago declared.
After much argument Mile compromised on the condition that he assigned a doctor and a nurse that will be with him, to administer drugs and set drip if need be. Santiago agreed and the case was settled.
Santiago took his phone, placed at his bedside and immediately ordered himself a Suit. Knowing that Jasper Milo had left with Aurora to Florence City, Santiago asked that Mia lend him her private jet. He’s going to meet Aurora.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Mia was Surprised, from the hospital to Florence City in this condition? She wouldn’t let him leave alone, so she asked Santiago to wait for her. She got a few things stuffed into a Suitcase, and ordered that Larry Tom should be brought along.
Thus a few hours later, before dawn, Mia, Santiago, a doctor and nurse filed into a jet and Larry Tom was handcuffed and brought in as well.
When Santiago saw Larry Tom, he looked shocked. Larry Tom was in St Petersburg? He disappeared from Florence City and he had searched diligently for him and his family.
He felt like strangulating him but Mia spoke “Santiago, don’t get worked up because of him, he’s not worth it and your health is more important”
She saw how furious Santiago looked at Larry Tom and the latter bent his head afraid to meet his gaze.
Santiago looked away. Seemed he had a lot of surprises in St Petersburg. He would get even with this fellow as soon as he quenches the chaos in the Axel group.
Early in the morning, Aurora woke up yawning. She slept in her room, her bed that she left for over four years. Her mother (Mrs. Logan) had kept the room clean and her things neatly in the wardrobe.
When she left the old manor the previous day, Palmer reluctantly let her go. She had tried persuading Aurora to spend the night with her but the latter insisted that her mother was waiting for her.
She came home to Mrs. Logan and Grey carried his little nephew and niece. It was a pleasant evening as the family seemed complete.
Aurora tried calling her mother but her cellphone number was not reachable. She called Mile and he said he just wants her to be strong enough for the surprise that awaits her.
Aurora shivered at her uncle’s words, is Santiago’s condition getting worse? As soon as she’s done with the Axel group , she will return to see Santiago.
