The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1297

Turning around, Zephyr left the door of Riley’s apartment. After taking a few steps, he suddenly fell straight to the ground. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

His face was pale and his eyes closed.

Zephyr felt that he had a long dream.

In the dream, he and Riley were about to get married. Nicholas had gone abroad. There was no car accident or suspicion, nor did Riley be sent to a psychiatric hospital.

Zephyr and Riley still loved each other so much, and what made him more happy was that Riley was pregnant. She gave birth to a boy for Zephyr several months after they got married.

The three of them were happy.

The dream was so beautiful that Zephyr didn’t want to wake up from it.

When he woke up, he would have to face the cruel reality.

“Zephyr… Zephyr…” Someone was constantly calling Zephyr’s name.

“Zephyr, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly become like this?” It was the sobbing voice of his mother.

It was a dream, and it was time to wake up!

Zephyr slowly opened his eyes and saw his parents.

“Dad… Mom… Why are you…” Zephyr said in a weak voice.

“What happened, Zephyr? Who hurt your fingers? Did Riley ask someone to break your fingers?” Mariah asked anxiously.

Hearing Riley’s name, Zephyr got anxious and asked, “Where is Riley? Where is she? I… Why am I here?”

“She sent you to the hospital, but now she’s in the police station and is detained,” Mariah said.

“Police station? How could she be detained in the police station?” Zephyr asked nervously.

“She is suspected of deliberately hurting you. Of course, she should be detained!” Mariah said angrily.

But when Mariah said this, Zephyr’s expression became even more anxious. He pulled off the thin quilt on his body and was about to get out of bed.

“What are you doing? Lie down. Your fingers have just been cast. If you move them again, the plaster will be in vain and your finger functions will be affected!” Mariah said hurriedly.

Jeffery pressed Zephyr’s shoulder and said, “Listen to your mother and lie down!”

“I broke my fingers myself. It has nothing to do with Riley. Even if she really wants to break my fingers, I am willing to let her do so! I’m going to the police station and tell the police what happened!” Zephyr said. He couldn’t let Riley suffer any more wrongs.

But Zephyr’s words shocked Jeffery and Mariah.

“What? Did you break your fingers yourself?” Jeffery and Mariah looked at their son in disbelief.

“Yeah, I broke them myself. Harriet cut off Riley’s finger. But now, even if all of my five fingers were broken, I can’t compensate for Riley’s lost finger!” Zephyr said.

It was an unbearable pain for Zephyr.

“You… You…” Mariah was shocked and couldn’t calm down. After a long time, she finally said, “It… It was Harriet who cut off Riley’s finger. It was not you. Why did you do that?”

“Was Harriet the only one who should be blamed?” Zephyr said bitterly. “If I had protected Riley when she was in trouble, how could Harriet have cut off Riley’s finger so recklessly? It was me. I gave Harriet a chance!”

“Even if you felt sorry for Riley, you didn’t have to do this. We can compensate her with money. Since you want to divorce Harriet now, you can marry her again!” Mariah said. The Scott family had already known that Hendrick’s biological mother was Riley.

Therefore, they would not reject Zephyr marrying Riley again.

But after hearing Mariah’s words, Zephyr seemed to have heard a joke.

“Mom, do you know how much I want to marry her? But it is impossible! She will never forgive me, let alone marry me. Even if I pay her back with my life, she won’t look at me again,” Zephyr said sadly with great a

painful look.

Hearing this, Mariah took a deep breath and staggered.

Jeffery hurriedly held Mariah.

“How could you…” Mariah wanted to say something, but the words seemed to have stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say anything.

At this time, Zephyr got out of bed and rushed out of the ward.

Mariah looked at Zephyr’s disappearing back in a daze and finally cried in Jeffery’s arms.

“Why? Why would this happen…” Mariah murmured.

Jeffery could only gently pat Mariah on the shoulder and comfort her, saying, “Maybe things are not as bad as we think. Don’t worry too much…”

Although Jeffery said so, he had a strong sense of anxiety. He had a premonition that maybe the Scott family would always be haunted by the influence of what had happened to Riley.

Zephyr rushed to the police station. After he explained everything to the police, Riley was finally released.

“I’m sorry,” Zephyr said. As soon as he said that, he was stunned. He realized that he had been saying sorry to her all the time.

“Don’t appear in front of me again so that such things will never happen again,” Riley said indifferently. Looking at Zephyr’s right hand with a cast and bandage, she added, “Besides, don’t say those meaningless words again. Even if you lose all your fingers, I can’t get my finger back. It doesn’t make any sense for you to do so.”

Zephyr only felt a throbbing pain in his heart. “Can’t I really compensate you for something?”

“It’s useless. Life will never come back again.” Riley looked away from Zephyr and walked towards the gate of the police station, ignoring him.

Zephyr covered his chest tightly with his uninjured left hand and felt the increasingly painful feeling.

Couldn’t everything come back?

Was it really impossible?

At this moment, Zephyr was like a prisoner sentenced to death. All that remained in his heart was despair!

Riley entrusted a lawyer and filed a lawsuit to take back the equity that was once been seized by Harriet. At that time, Harriet became Riley’s guardian on the grounds of Riley’s mental illness. Therefore, all of Riley’s shares were taken away by Harriet.

Now, it had been proved by experts that Riley was not suffering from mental illness. So she could take back her shares.

However, her shares needed to be calculated again because they had become difficult to distinguish from other shares after the business. reorganization of Summer Group and the Scott family’s business.

Fortunately, the Scott family didn’t make things difficult. They gave a fairly good offer in court. Finally, this case ended smoothly.

Riley entrusted her lawyer during the whole trial and did not appear in

court.
