Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

“Hello?” Noah spoke into the phone.

Kyla’s frail voice responded, her tone quivering with distress, “Noah, I… I’m feeling terrible…” She gasped, her voice breaking. “My chest… it hurts so badly… Can you come and take me to the hospital?”

Noah hesitated for a moment, his indecision palpable even over the phone.
