The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 347

Hearing this, Victoria's heart sank.

She had initially thought that there was a disagreement between Genevieve and Laurel, and Genevieve had intentionally hurt her.

But now it seemed…

The police show up, and Genevieve has a complete breakdown?

A torrent of thoughts flashed through Victoria's mind, and a sense of foreboding washed over her.

At the hospital, outside the patient room.

The doctor gently closed the door and walked a few steps over to Elias. "Mr. Shawn, you can rest assured. Lady Laurel is awake and fine. It's just a mild concussion. All she needs is a few days of bed rest."

Elias's cold gaze swept over the door to the room, and he gave a deep hum of acknowledgment. "Thank you for your trouble."

Flattered, the doctor quickly waved his hands, insisting it was no trouble at all. He then gave some instructions to the housekeeper responsible for Laurel's care.

The housekeeper noted everything down, repeating the details back to the doctor to confirm.

Elias stood across from the hospital room door and glanced at a message from Hawk, confirming that he had safely dropped Victoria off at Willow Creek Estates.

His gaze unconsciously fell on his messaging app. The familiar cartoon cat avatar at the top of the screen caught his eye, and his mind drifted back to what Victoria had said tonight.

—'I don't want to.'

—'I don't want it anymore, Elias.'

Every word was like a sharp sword piercing straight through his heart.

After a long moment, he exited the app and sent a message to Lucian, telling him to come out for another drink.

After sending the message, Elias looked up. The doctor had left, and only the housekeeper remained, diligently reviewing the notes she had taken, afraid of making the slightest mistake.

Elias raised a hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, which ached with exhaustion. After working around the clock for days and drinking quite a bit tonight, he was starting to feel weary.
