A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 455

"Mommy told me that she misses me. She was calling out to me just now." Bob held Maria's hand, determined to stay by her side. He did hear her call his name a few moments ago.

Maria had been unconscious for two days, and because of that, James doubted his son's claims.

However, Bob still wouldn't listen to his father. He got tired of sitting on the bed, so he lay beside Maria and nestled in her arms. Every now and then, he would call out to her, and hope that it would wake her up.

Finally, through his unremitting efforts, Maria finally moved a muscle.

But her reaction was so subtle that her ex-husband and son didn't notice it.

"Boston!" James shouted impatiently. He had heard the word "mommy" hundreds of times today already, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"James,"

said a faint voice.

With cold, unrelenting eyes, James glared at the little boy. "Who said you could call me by my name?"

Bob looked at his father with confusion, shaking his head in denial.

"If you keep yelling at my son, I'll strangle you myself!" said the faint voice earlier.

The moment he heard that threat, James was too stunned to react.

This time, he clearly heard whose voice it was. It didn't come from Bob; it was actually Maria's.

Her eyes were still closed as she embraced her son. "Bob, don't be scared. Mommy's here."

James walked towards the bedside and held Maria's hand. "Mia," he said in a soft voice.

When Maria heard his voice, she still didn't open her eyes. "Go away! You yelled at my son!"

"No, I didn't." James bit back his explanation because he knew that it wouldn't make a difference. "Mia, just open your eyes and look at us, okay?"

As soon as he finished talking, Maria's eyelids moved slightly. However, she was too dazzled by the brightness of the light. "It's too bright."

Outside the window, the sun was at its peak, but the room was cool enough to withstand the summer heat. James decided to draw the curtains to reduce the amount of light going into the room.

It was then that Maria opened her eyes. She was greeted by James' affectionate gaze. "Mia, you're finally awake."

"Mommy." Now that his mother was awake, Bob sat on the bed, looking at her with a wide grin.

Maria shifted her gaze away from James and looked at her son. She wanted to touch his cute little face, but the pain prevented her from doing so. It was so painful that her face became distorted.

James immediately put her back to bed. "Don't try to move. Your wounds haven't healed yet."

With that, he pressed the buzzer above the bed and asked the doctor to come in for a checkup.

Aside from the trauma it caused her, Maria's body was relatively fine. All she needed to do for the time being was to get as much rest as possible.

However, she didn't want to be in the hospital for a long time, so James brought her back to the villa, and asked her doctor to change the dressings on her wounds regularly.

Sandra, Mildred, Meagan, and Peggy often visited her. In addition to her friends, Bob was always with her, so there was never a dull moment for her.

It was already November, but the temperature in H City was still scorching. By this time, Maria had recovered from her wounds and her life returned to normal.

At this time, the news that Colby and Rosa were sentenced to death was reported by the media.

In addition to that, Rosa's statement about how Arthur actually died also circulated the news. It was true that he died in an accident, but it had nothing to do with Maria. Back then, she was just cooking in the kitchen. In actuality, Rosa was the one responsible for his death.

Maria had taken the blame for over ten years, and her name had finally been cleared of all accounts.

Meanwhile, James was in DS Group's headquarters, handing in some documents about the acquisition of HM Group to Maria. "Honey, we've acquired HM Group, and you're the biggest shareholder. Does that make you happy?"

As she sat in front of her desk, flipping through the documents, a smile appeared on her lips. "Very happy, actually. You want to know my next plan? I'm going to acquire HL Group," she bantered.
