After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Into The Rose Garden.

Seating in front of her vanity mirror, Leonica watched Grace's reflection diligently as the elderly woman worked on her hair, trimming it short enough for the surgery.

A whole week had gone by since she woke up and five days since she had been discharged and today was the big day, the day where she'd donate her bone marrow for Ashley's transplant. She could already imagine how happy Ashley would be once the surgery was done and over with and how the treatment would start to work immediately.

It would only take a matter of a week or two for the boy to become healthy again and the thought of that excited her.

"All done, Ms. Romero." Grace stepped away, giving Leonica the opportunity to admire her hair.

Her hair once long before was now cut short, the ends stopping a little above her shoulder.

"I think this is the perfect length." Leonica muttered. "Thank you, Grace."

"You're welcome." Grace gathered her things and was about to excuse herself when there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Leonica called, watching from the reflection of the mirror as the door opened and Owen stepped in.

"luce mia it's-" He stopped short, looking astonished by the length of her hair.

"Is it bad?" She asked.

Owen quickly shook his head. Contrary to what she thought, the short length actually suited her and the style looked absolutely beautiful.

"No." He answered, taking a step forward so that he was now standing behind her, hands on her shoulder, while Grace finally excused herself, giving the two much needed privacy. "It's beautiful, really."

She smiled, softly. "Thank you. It is time to leave yet?" Owen nodded. "And Ashley?"

"Your mom and dad's already taken him to the hospital."

Leonica nodded, knowing fully well that she'd have to thank her parents in a more grander way for taking care of Ashley the entire years she had been asleep and even now.

But for now, she needed to focus on the surgery.

"Alright," She drew series of long breath, trying to calm the spike of anxiety in her nerves.

Owen noticed and gently massaged her shoulder, offering her a reassuring smile when their eyes meet through the mirror.

"It's going to be alright." He said.

Leonica nodded, feeling less anxious because of his words. "I know. Let's go."

Getting up, Owen led the way downstairs. As they stepped out of the house, the television in the living room played the latest news.

"After many long years of having their foot in Oslo Norway, Bryce Empire has suddenly decided to move from their founding country, taking their headquarters elsewhere. Sources say that the reason for this recent decision is because their Current CEO, Gabriel Bryce, had undergone a sudden change in his personal life, a change that has caused him to leave Norway. What could have caused the CEO's personal life to drastically change? Some speculate that it had to do with the tragic incident that had befallen his ex wife, Leonica Romero. We're not sure, but all we can hope is that whatever had caused Mr. Bryce's sudden change of heart, it would be nothing but positive. My name is Anna, and that is the latest news of the day."

Arriving at the hospital seemed to have taken less time than Leonica had anticipated.

Before she knew it, she was already dressed in a patient gown, getting prepared for the procedure.

"How are you feeling?" Owen asked, noticing how stiff her body was.

"Fine." Leonica muttered, though her voice came out shaky.
