Chapter 10 - Evelyn Wakes Up In The Hospital To Speak Truth
Two days later, Evelyn Vale sat propped up in a private recovery suite at Greenwich Hospital, looking significantly stronger.
Sunlight poured through the spotless windows, illuminating the cheerful floral arrangements sent by corporate allies and family friends.
Adrian sat beside her bed holding her hand tightly, while Naomi stood quietly near the doorway keeping a respectful distance.
“The police commissioner called this morning, Mother. Celeste and Dr. Voss have been denied bail and charged with attempted murder,” Adrian said.
Evelyn squeezed her son’s hand, letting out a soft sigh of immense relief as the dark cloud lifted from her chest.
“Thank God for Naomi,” Evelyn whispered hoarsely, turning her gaze toward the housekeeper standing quietly by the door.
“She saved my life when nobody else was listening to my warnings about the wine and the altered medications,” Evelyn added gratefully.
Adrian stood up and walked over to Naomi, stopping just a foot away with a profound expression of humility on his face.
“My mother wants to restructure the entire estate administration, starting with your promotion to Executive Director of Operations,” Adrian announced.
