OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 174 - I’ll make her fall in love with me again

Coincidentally, Alex received a message from Edmund. "Purchase completed. The Mercy Hospital has been paid for, and the transfer of ownership is in progress."

"What is going on here?" Colton panicked and asked, his pleading gaze fixed on Joanna. She was his hope of escaping from Alex and returning to take care of his sister.

He had also planned to make her forget everything about completely and have her all to himself, but Alex seemed to be one step ahead of him.

"You will find out if you are as innocent as you claim," Alex said as Dario pinned both of Colton’s hands behind him. As he was being dragged out, Joanna was furious.

"Let him go," she screamed, hope shining in Colton’s eyes. Since he had laid eyes on Joanna again, he had been determined to help her regain her memory, but Alex made it impossible for them to have any time together.

"Alex, you are making a mistake. Joanna needs me to recover because I’m the only one she remembers," Colton pleaded. Alex was upset that Colton thought of himself as some kind of savior.

He had never pursued Joanna before, but now felt it was the right time to do so. As Dion’s savior and his wife, he wasn’t going to let her go, even if she begged him.

"Don’t worry. I’ll make her fall in love with me again," Alex said with certainty. He had done it before when he didn’t even intend to make her his, so how could he not do it now that he wanted to?

"What are you talking about?" Joanna asked, looking lost and confused as she tried to remove the IVs again to save the man she still thought was her boyfriend. The doctor stopped her, though she equally did not understand what was going on.

"Ma’am, please stop. Mr. King, what’s going on? The hospital administration would not be happy with this."

Colton was a staff member and under the protection of the hospital, so whatever the case was, she expected the right procedures to be followed. But Alex had made some prior arrangements.

"Don’t worry. I own this hospital now," he revealed, showing her the purchase document Edmund had sent him with the transfer receipt. "Transfer of ownership is ongoing."

"What?" The more Joanna heard him speak, the more afraid she became. Who was this man, and why did he mention the purchase of a health facility so casually as if he was buying a bicycle?

Aiden arrived with Violet, and as she rushed to Joanna’s side and embraced her, Joanna pushed her away.

"Who are you, and what do you want here?" Joanna looked upset and afraid, but most of the time, her gaze was fixed on Colton because he was the only person she could remember from her past.

"Joan? What happened? You don’t remember your best friend anymore?" Aiden was confused and looked at Alex, shaking his head helplessly.

"Yeah, she lost her memory, and the only person she remembers is the son of a bitch."

Violet felt miserable. "It’s my fault. I should have killed the bitch before the cops arrived. And why do you look familiar? I saw you with her," she glared at Colton. Joanna was protective of the man she still thought was her boyfriend.

Dario was holding his two arms behind him like a criminal.

"What are you talking about?" Colton tried to deny it but was pushed away.

"Please take care of your wife, sir. I will handle this," Dario said but Alex shook his head. "No, I’ll handle it myself. Aiden, Violet, please take care of my wife, and I mean, watch her."

As Colton was pushed away, Joanna was restless. "Colton, come back."

Colton forcefully stopped and yelled. "Joan, you have to get away from him. He’s Salvador." He wasn’t certain about it but was certain to get Joanna mentally unstable.

The mention of the name Salvador made Joanna afraid and agitated. "Salvador?" Her glare at Alex was filled with disdain as Colton smiled.

"Yes, he’s Salvador. You should come with me, or he’ll kill you."

The word diplomacy wasn’t in Aiden’s dictionary, as his knees met Colton’s stomach, Joanna was horrified as he was taken away.

"Where are you taking him? Bring him back. Ah, it hurts," she kept yelling, and pressing her palm over the area of the incision but Alex hesitated before leaving and stared at the director, who looked terrified because of what she had just heard.

Violet was equally dumbfounded, but with Joanna there, she refrained from asking any questions. Aiden’s warning about his job being dangerous was enough to make her believe it.

"Angel, you have to calm down," Alex said softly as he went to embrace her, but she kept fighting him.

"Can you help her relax?" He asked the doctor when he saw the pain in her eyes but Joanna grew nervous.

"What do you mean?"

The doctor added some sleeping medication and pain killer to her IV, and it wasn’t long before she fell asleep.

"What exactly is going on? Are you Salvador?" Violet asked when she was certain that Joanna was asleep. Aiden denied it because of the doctor.

"Are you insane? How can he be Salvador?" He turned to the doctor. "Can you excuse us? You shall be informed when she wakes up."

The doctor nodded and ambled to the door as Aiden spoke to Violet within the doctor’s hearing. "Logan is just spreading false claims that Alex is Salvador, and I think Colton is in it with him."

Violet was calm, and the doctor was convinced that Alex wasn’t Salvador. As soon as the door closed, Alex spoke up.

"Violet, you have been a good friend to Joan, so I won’t lie to you. I’m indeed Salvador, but what we do is different from what the media reports."

Violet was lost and slightly afraid. "Please tell me you are joking."

Alex was tired of the lies and intended to reveal the truth to Joanna when she woke up.

"I still need to get Colton to tell me Tess’s whereabouts."

Violet was instantly elated. "You mean the bitch? I’m coming with you."

But Alex shook his head. "You two are the only ones I can trust with my wife. Allow me to handle this," he said in a sorrow-filled tone. Violet gave up.

"Fine, I’ll take care of her, but make sure the bitch pays."
