The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 245

Staring at the text message, Victoria had the strange feeling she was being set up.

But the car accident had happened right before her eyes, so she couldn't figure out what was wrong with the situation.

Her expression darkened as she recalled the moment of the crash.

She lowered her gaze to the man on the hospital bed, unsure how she should feel about him now.

The moment she saw the license plate that could only belong to Elias, she had briefly wondered if he was in the car, but she had quickly dismissed the thought.

In her mind, Elias wasn't someone who would risk his own life to save her. He was the type who would stand by and coldly watch her die.

And yet, he had been the one to get out of the driver's seat.

Victoria couldn't quite put a name to the feeling, but her emotions were suddenly a tangled mess. She couldn't understand it.

She couldn't understand why, just when she was finally ready to let go of this relationship, just when she was trying to put distance between them…

He had to be the one to save her.

As she thought about it, Victoria's hands clenched into fists. She turned and walked out of the room.

She didn't notice that as the door clicked shut behind her, the man who was supposed to be unconscious on the bed opened his eyes. They were dark and inscrutable, as deep as an abyss.

Night fell.

Victoria waited outside the room for Hawk to arrive.

But time ticked by, the night grew deeper, and there was still no word from him.

The shock from the day's events had kept her nerves on edge.

Now, having learned that the hospital had simply made a mistake and Garnett was fine, and that Elias's injuries weren't serious, she finally relaxed. Sitting on the bench, she drifted off and fell into a deep sleep.

Half an hour later, the door to the hospital room opened from the inside.

A tall man walked over to the bench. He looked down at the woman curled up in sleep, then bent down and lifted her into his arms.

Victoria was so exhausted that she didn't stir. As Elias picked her up, she simply turned her face and buried her head in his chest.

Elias carried her into the room and placed her on the bed.

The moment she touched the mattress, Victoria rolled over.
