OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 176 - Mr. King, your wife is a month pregnant

"What did you say?" Alex didn’t want to get his hopes up, but he remembered the doctor’s words when he arrived at the hospital. Could it be that the pregnancy was still viable, as Colton was suggesting?

"What makes you think I would believe you?" His expression was cold, and at this moment, he wanted to throttle Tess for what she had done to his wife.

"Please let me explain. When Joanna was taken by the paramedics, they explained the situation, prompting us to prepare everything before they arrived. The injury was to her head, but she was also miscarrying, so I saved both her and the baby," Colton concluded. Alex didn’t want to be deceived out of desperation, as this was not just about him.

Joanna had suffered greatly because of him, and he wanted justice for her by any means necessary.

"Since you were there when it happened, tell me the truth," Alex told Tess. She stared at her brother in tears as blood still oozed from her ears.

"We were talking, and Joanna got upset. I only put my leg in her way to stop her, but she fell and hit her head on the washbasin before her waist hit the floor."

Alex still couldn’t believe her because of what Violet had told him. "Her best friend told me that you had threatened to kill my baby."

Tess was full of regret. If only she had listened to her brother, they wouldn’t have been in this mess. From the looks of it, and with no ring on Alex’s finger, it was evident that the marriage was already crumbling.

Perhaps she should have waited for her time, and even if she never had Alex, she could have had her life and future to enjoy.

"I only said it to upset her, but I never meant it," Tess pleaded, feeling dizzy from losing so much blood. Colton was afraid but pleaded.

"Alex, if you don’t believe I saved your baby, then ask for a pregnancy test on your wife. But in the meantime, please allow me to treat my sister," he pleaded. Alex sighed. "Go ahead."

Dario was disappointed. This wasn’t the Salvador he knew, but before he could question him, Alex was on a call. It appeared he wasn’t using any of the doctors in this hospital and was instead employing the services of an external one.

As soon as he ended the call, he questioned Colton, who was scrambling for some medications in the storeroom.

As a doctor, he knew what was needed and first injected pain medications and another to stop the bleeding. The storeroom was filled with supplies, so almost everything he needed was there and more. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"I just wanted you to think she lost your baby so that when you see her with a child in the future, I could claim it as mine," he explained. Tess was sorry she didn’t follow his plan but was already losing consciousness from the medications.

"What about her damaged womb?" Alex asked. Colton replied with regret. "Her womb was seventy percent okay before the fall. She will still need a lot of bed rest to improve the condition of the pregnancy."

Alex was about to ask another question when his phone rang. It was the doctor he had spoken to. After exchanging a few more words, he ended the call as Dario said to him.

"Are you really going to let them go? Salvador is not so soft. Are you sure you are him?"

Alex glared at him. "You think you can do a better job?" His countenance was so intimidating that Dario cowered.

"I’m sorry, but the bitch doesn’t deserve treatment."

Colton was afraid of staying in the storeroom any longer. His sister needed proper care since one of her ears was already lost.

"Alex, trust me, your pregnant wife is fine. I have to move Tess to a ward."

Dario was boiling with anger and pain. How could Alex let these people go after all they did to his sister and wife? He was beginning to doubt if this was the real Salvador.

"Why the haste? The pregnancy has not yet been confirmed, and by the way, you made her forget me when you worked on her head injury. How are you going to resolve that, huh?"

Colton was sweating, and Dario’s trust in his boss was returning. Perhaps his boss had not lost his mind, as Dario thought.

"Oh, that. All her old and new memories would merge together after a few weeks if you take her to similar places and remind her of things you both used to do together."

Alex nodded, making a mental note of the solution. "Thanks for telling me, but I gave you your first chance, and you refused to change. You don’t expect me to trust you again, do you?"

Colton was at a loss for words, unable to talk his way out this time as Alex made a proposal. "How about this? You let me know Logan’s location, and I’ll let you and your sister go?"

Dario still didn’t like this because his men were already on the lookout for Logan.

"Boss, you don’t need his help for that. I trust my men," he implored, but Alex coldly retorted.

"Why waste so many resources when I can get the information right here and now?"

Dario pursed his lips, holding back his words. Colton was relieved, but there was a problem. He also had no idea where Logan was.

"Alex, I’m so sorry, but I don’t know. Recently, the number he gave me was out of reach, but he told me he’d be watching my back."

Alex gave no response, whether good or bad, but the sleeplessness was weighing heavily on him, so he called Aiden on the phone.

"I need coffee."

Aiden had the coffee delivered to Alex and Dario at the storeroom, including those outside.

"Are you thirsty?" Alex asked Colton. He indeed was. "Yes, I am, but don’t worry about me. All I want is for my sister to get treatment."

"But you already gave her treatment," Alex mused. Colton explained further. "I’m talking about IVs. These are merely first aids, and I need to use equipment."

Alex went quiet until his phone began to ring. Seeing the doctor’s number, he answered it.

"Mr. King, your wife is a month pregnant."

Joy spiraled through Alex’s heart as he clutched the phone tightly. "Thank you."

"It’s true, right?" Colton asked with excitement, but what Alex did next broke him completely.
