Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 697

As soon as Wiona left, Louisa showed up at the hospital. Right away, she saw the police officers who were supposed to be guarding her dad hanging out at the far end of the hallway, smoking. When they spotted her, they quickly put out their cigarettes and hurried over to block her path.

“Louisa, you can’t go in,” one of them said, holding out his hand. “Your dad’s a high-priority suspect now. Even though you’re family, we have to follow the rules.”

Louisa tried to plead with them. “Please, just let me see him. I’ll talk to him, I’ll get him to tell you everything, I promise. I’m not asking for much. I just need to see him one last time. There are things we need to discuss—about the debts, about this mysterious bank card he left behind. I don’t know what to do with it. If you won’t let me in, maybe you could at least go in and ask him for me. I’ll leave as soon as I get some answers, I swear.”

She’d been coming to the hospital for days now. Almost every day, she’d show up and beg for a visit with Wilson. The police were getting tired of it. They’d reported her request to their higher-ups, but no one had given them a straight answer about whether she could go in.

Louisa was on the verge of leaving, her hope fading again, when one of the officers suddenly got a call. He listened for a moment, then turned to stop her.

“Louisa, wait!”

She spun around, barely daring to hope. The other officer was still holding the phone, nodding along to whatever was being said on the other end.

“Since his daughter has been asking to go in and persuade him to confess, the higher-ups are giving special permission. After we confirm her identity, she can go in—with us accompanying her.”

The officer turned back to Louisa. “Alright, you can go in. But we have to come with you.”

The idea of being watched made Louisa nervous, but she didn’t have a choice. This was her shot. She nodded, swallowed her nerves, and followed them into the room.

Wilson was lying in bed, half asleep. Ever since Wiona had left, he felt lighter than he had in ages. It was the first time in days he’d felt even a little bit comfortable. The pain had faded, just for a moment, and he let himself drift. It felt better than anything he’d experienced, almost like floating. He thought, let me enjoy this feeling for a little while. He’d deal with Wiona later, report her to the cops after he’d had some real sleep. All he wanted now was to rest, to finally have a deep, painless sleep.

But then someone shook him awake.

“Dad! Dad, wake up! It’s me, Louisa. I’m here to see you, Dad!”
