After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#183 “He Deserves to Know the Truth.”

In a whirlwind of panic and adrenaline, Alexander and Sophia bundled Ben into the car and raced to the hospital, their hearts pounding with fear and worry. The drive felt like an eternity, each passing moment filled with anxious anticipation as they prayed for Ben’s safety.

Upon arrival, they burst through the hospital doors, their faces etched with concern as they pleaded for help. Nurses and doctors sprang into action, wheeling Ben away on a stretcher as they assessed his injuries.

Sophia’s hands trembled as she signed the necessary paperwork, her mind a jumble of frantic thoughts. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing Ben, he was her childhood friend.

As they waited for news on Ben’s condition, time seemed to stretch on endlessly. Alexander paced the sterile corridors, his footsteps echoing in the empty hallways as he struggled to contain his anxiety. Alexander might not have liked Benjamin, but he would never want anything bad to happen to him.

Finally, a doctor emerged from the operating room with an update – Ben’s injuries were serious, but thankfully not life-threatening. Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulders slumping with exhaustion and relief.

With Ben stable for the time being, Sophia made the decision to stay by his side until he regained his strength. Alexander offered his support, knowing that Sophia needed him now more than ever.
