After patching him up as best they could, the two men left, leaving Alex alone in the apartment.
He leaned back against the cushions and closed his eyes, but the throbbing pain made sleep impossible.
His sprained wrist was on fire, his bruised ribs sent sharp spasms of agony with every breath, and his split lip stung every time he moved his mouth.
He knew iodine and gauze weren't going to cut it. He needed serious anti-inflammatories and painkillers.
But he was in unfamiliar territory. He didn't know a single doctor he could trust in Penang, and risking a local pharmacy was out of the question—Harold could easily tamper with the supply.
After weighing his options, he grabbed his phone and dialed a familiar number.
It rang a few times before it was answered. "Alex? It's the middle of the night. What's wrong?"
It was Rebecca.
"Rebecca, I'm in Penang. I took a hit, and I need you to prescribe some medication and overnight it to me."
His voice was dragged down by pure exhaustion as he rattled off his symptoms. "Sprained wrist, severe bruising, muscle contusions. I need high-grade anti-inflammatories, painkillers, and a strong topical ointment for the swelling."
The line crackled as she immediately went into doctor mode. "How did you get hurt?"
"Does this have to do with Harold? Alex, what the hell were you thinking going out there on your own?"
Alex forced a tired chuckle. "Just a minor complication. It's nothing serious. Get the meds together and overnight them. And throw in the antidepressants."
"I'll text you the address. Keep it completely off the grid. Use a secure international courier, not a standard mailing service."


After a moment's hesitation, Rebecca opened WhatsApp and typed out a message to Dani.

Hitting send, Rebecca let out a breath.
She knew Dani was the only person on the planet who could get through to him and force him to actually take care of himself.
Back in Westbrook, the sun was just beginning to rise, but Dani was still wide awake.
Her screen lit up with the notification.
Assuming it was just a random morning text, she casually opened it. The second she read the words, the blood drained from her face.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
