Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 51

Aurora stood at Daniel’s bedside, her eyes cold and distant.

“Daniel, meeting you is the one thing I regret most in my entire life.” She spoke the words with finality, then turned on her heel and strode out of the room.

A loud thud echoed behind her.

Aurora spun around to see Daniel collapsed on the floor, utterly unconscious.

He’d fainted from sheer anger.

In the end, Aurora didn’t make it out of the hospital.

Daniel’s collapse sent the entire place into chaos. Doctors rushed in at once, wheeling him straight into the ER and running every test imaginable.

Yet after multiple examinations, the doctors could only confirm that the slap he’d received to the back of his head hadn’t caused any real harm—certainly not enough to knock someone out.

They questioned Aurora about what had happened.

Unwilling to admit she’d argued with Daniel and literally made him pass out, she simply shook her head and claimed ignorance.

Slumped on a bench outside, Aurora regretted not biting her tongue and showing mercy, if only because Daniel was still a patient. Now, with something happening to Daniel, she’d have to face the full wrath of the Chambers family.

Mrs. Chambers stormed into the hospital yet again, barking orders for the doctors to get to the bottom of Daniel’s collapse.

If they couldn’t find the cause, it was a sign of their incompetence, she insisted.

She threatened to fire every last doctor in the place.

This was the Chambers Group’s private hospital, after all, and as the primary investor, Mrs. Chambers had every right to make that call.

The entire hospital was on edge.

The administrators fawned over her, bowing and scraping, trying to placate her in hopes that she might show mercy—or that Daniel would wake up soon and save them all.

“It had nothing to do with us. Mrs. Chambers and Mr. Chambers were arguing, and she made him faint.” One of the younger nurses finally cracked and blurted out the truth.

She’d happened to walk by and overheard the heated argument between Aurora and Daniel, curiosity getting the better of her as she lingered by the door for quite some time.

At once, Mrs. Chambers’ steely gaze shifted to Aurora, her eyes sharp as knives.

She didn’t try to dodge it—she took it, fair and square.

Almost begging, she looked up at Mrs. Chambers. “It was my fault. I admit it. Please, don’t trouble Grandma. She wouldn’t be able to handle the stress.”

Mrs. Chambers narrowed her eyes, her voice dripping with disdain. “Aurora, you’re not fit to be Dan’s wife.”

“You’ll kneel at Dan’s bedside until he wakes up. Do you understand?”

Aurora’s head snapped up in disbelief.

Mrs. Chambers let out a cold, triumphant laugh. “A girl from a family like yours? In another era, you wouldn’t even be worthy to shine my son’s shoes.”

“And after a mistake this egregious? Today, I’ll teach you your place.”

“Kneel.”

All around them, the doctors and nurses watched—some with pity, some with barely concealed schadenfreude—as Aurora was put on display.
