Elisa took the medicine and slept for about two hours. When she woke up, she felt well again, as if she were a different person. She felt thirsty and a little hungry, got out of bed and went downstairs.
It was hushed at this time, two o’clock in the afternoon. She descended the stairs lightly and walked towards the kitchen. There was no one there, so she poured herself a glass of water, and there were small tomatoes on the table. She stuffed two in her mouth, one on each side, keeping her mouth full.
Afterward, she rummaged through the kitchen cabinets and grabbed some cookies and soda; on the other side, she held a yogurt. This would be her lunch. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Her mouth and hands were both full, and Elisa, satisfied, went upstairs to her room. She was still very afraid of Robert, so she tried to walk as quietly as possible, fearing she might disturb him.
Just as she reached her bedroom door, Elisa put her hand on the doorknob. All she needed to do was open the door, step inside, and close it, and she would be safe.

However, her relief was short–lived. Just as Elisa was about to step into her room, she felt a piercing gaze on her back.
Elisa slowly turned around, but as soon as she turned around, she froze. In front of her was Robert, sitting in a wheelchair and staring at her deeply.
Those eyes were as bright as a cold star, as bright as Elisa imagined, and as cold as she imagined. His fell on her, making her feel like she was covered in ice.
As soon as she saw her appearance, Robert’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her legs trembled; she didn’t know if it was fear, nervousness, guilty conscience, and all kinds of complex emotions intertwined so that there was only one thought in her mind in an instant.
Run!
Robert was about to speak when Elisa ran into her room like a rabbit, leaving Robert confused.
He was about to grab the doorknob to Elisa’s room, but before he could react, “Bang!” A loud noise of the door slamming shut and locking came from in front of him.
He had no patience for this and suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Mrs. Anna, Robert’s mother, quickly entered with a pair of high heels. She was still dressed in an elegant suit, and it seemed she had just dealt with business matters. As soon as she heard about her son, she came rushing towards him, without having time to change clothes.
When Mrs. Anna entered, she saw Robert in a wheelchair and walked towards him.
“Robert!” She stopped, looking happy and excited.
“Mom!”
Robert called her softly, and then his mother squatted down and hugged her son tightly.
When he was a child, she didn’t hug him like this. However, today, it was a necessary exception.

a thousand days and nights.” Anna said, and tears started to fall uncontrollably.

“Mom, I’m awake now!” Robert replied that this sentence comforted him, and Anna just wiped away the tears and squatted down. Her son had grown up, and now the man before her seemed so small.
She had little involvement in her son’s education because when she lost her husband, she had to carry the burden of the Fischer family alone.
“Mother, I have read the company’s financial reports for the past three years, as well as all the ongoing projects… “But Anna interrupted him.
“Robert, you just woke up, so don’t worry about that. I still support the Fischer Group, and now you need to take care of your body first,” She replied.
After all, she had experienced the pain of losing a child, and she wanted him to become as strong as before. She would protect him as much as she could. Those dark days were unbearable to look back on, and now, in her heart, nothing was way more important than her son.
When Elisa heard Mrs. Fischer come, she ran downstairs. Everyone was gathered. John, Anna, and Robert were sitting in the living room. The three of them were talking when they heard footsteps approaching. and upon facing Elisa, she was tremendously embarrassed.
She looked at Robert and only found his gaze, and when that gaze reached her, the mixed–severity was like a sharp knife, cutting her heart in half in an instant. She couldn’t even breathe lightly.
-Elisabeth, come here,” Robert spoke, and she walked towards the room like a robot. Anna was in a good mood and looked at Elisa with a smile.
“Robert, Elisa is the wife your mother chose for you to marry. You must have met before, right?”
“Exactly, but don’t worry. You will get to know each other after a little contact!” The grandfather quickly said, and Anna also nodded in agreement. “Emotions and feelings need to be nurtured!”
Robert looked at his mother, wondering why his mother liked her so much. After all, Elisa was there for the money, and his mother and grandfather didn’t hate this kind of woman. He didn’t know why.
Elisa sat on the couch, feeling scrutinized. She knew that Robert had woken up and her marriage to him had also ended, but how would Mrs. Fischer deal with her? Elisa was ashamed to ask directly.
“I’m tired. I’ll go back to my room first!” Robert suddenly said.
It seemed that it was not just the grandfather who would disagree with the divorce, but that didn’t mean he would easily agree.
Robert returned to the room, and Elisa suddenly felt less depressed. ”
“Elisabeth, I have something to tell you. Let’s go to the office,” Anna said and took the initiative to speak.
“Yes, ma’am.” Elisa, a loyal follower of Anna, was sure she would want to discuss the divorce. After all, Robert’s attitude towards hier was evident.
Even though Anna didn’t arrange the operation for her mother, the money she had on hand would allow her to have the surgery in New York. As for the source of the kidney, she was thinking of a way, but if it didn’t work out, she would use hers.

She had always dreamed of such a result, and thinking about it, she sighed. She was even a little excited; if this marriage didn’t bind her, she would be free.
Anna sat on the couch, and Elisa stayed more in the corner, afraid. It seemed somewhat unusual for a boss to try to fire an employee.
“Elisabeth, when I came, it was already arranged. When would it be convenient to take your mother to the capital for the surgery?” Anna suddenly said, and Elisa’s face, full of doubts and even more disbelief, stared. at her in surprise..
“But I… I am not pregnant with Robert’s child,” she stammered, and the lady smiled. She was truly sincere and honest.
