Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173

“You crazy woman, let me go!” Leon struggled desperately under Eliza’s grip, crying and trying to break free. But the strength difference between a kid and an adult was just too much. Even though he used everything he had, he couldn’t get away.

When they reached the staircase, Eliza saw Leon gripping the railing tightly, so she just kicked him. “Get down there! You think you can fight me?”

Leon never expected her to actually kick him. The next second, his small hand lost its grip and he tumbled straight down the stairs.

Eliza gasped and snapped back to her senses. “Leon?” she called out frantically, but got no response. She stumbled down the stairs in a panic and found Leon lying motionless with a cut on his forehead and his eyes closed tight.

Her heart sank as she immediately pulled out her phone to call an ambulance. Picking on Leon a little was one thing, but if something serious happened to him, Victor and the entire Powell family would never forgive her.

Meanwhile, Regina had just finished trying on her wedding dress when Victor’s phone started ringing. He looked down and saw Eliza’s name on the screen, pressed his lips in annoyance, and hung up. But she called right back again.

After this happened three times, Regina said generously, “It’s fine, just answer it. Maybe it’s an emergency.”

She turned back to the mirror to admire her own beauty. Truth was, Regina didn’t really care much about Victor’s business anyway.

She was just trying on a dress. She didn’t need a man for that. Having Victor stand there with that sour look on his face would just kill her mood.

“Sorry, this might be about work,” Victor said apologetically. “Let me handle this real quick. I’ll be right back.”.

He walked out of the bridal shop with long strides and answered the phone with obvious irritation. “What do you want now? I already told you-”

“Victor, something happened to Leon!” Eliza’s voice was shaking through tears. She gave him the hospital name and address. “He’s still in surgery. You need to get here now.”

Victor’s mind went completely blank. He knew Eliza would never lie about something like this. Without thinking twice, he rushed back into the bridal shop to tell Regina what had happened.

Regina was touching up her lipstick and looked surprised by the news, She waved her hand dismissively. “If something’s wrong with the kid, then go. Our photo shoot can wait another day.”

‘How convenient that this happens on the exact day we’re supposed to take wedding photos. I wonder what’s really going on behind all this,‘ Regina thought. But she didn’t bother asking questions.

Victor rushed to his car and made it to the hospital in under twenty minutes. The surgery light was still glowing green above the operating room door. “What the hell happened? How did Leon suddenly end up like this?” he asked.

When Eliza heard Victor’s questioning tone, she let out a sob, her face filled with pain. “It’s all my fault. I wasn’t watching Leon carefully enough, and he accidentally fell down the stairs.”
