Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 174

Alex’s POV.

I couldn’t stop pacing. The scent of the hospital made my stomach twist, but it wasn’t the smell that had me on edge. No, it was the sight of my kids, unconscious, hooked up to IVs. They were fine, or at least the doctors said they would be. But I couldn’t get rid of the image of them being taken from me. The panic, the fear in Christiana’s eyes…those damn images haunted me, tugged at me.

I needed to keep it together. For them. For her.

My eyes moved to Christiana, curled up in the chair next to the kids‘ bed. Her head was tilted to the side, resting on the back of the chair, her long hair falling messily across her face. Even in her sleep, she seemed restless. Her face was scrunched in discomfort, and her lips trembled like she was reliving whatever nightmare Daniel had put her through. My stomach tightened.

I moved over quietly, trying not to wake her. I could feel the weight of everything bearing down on me. Her pale skin, the tear–streaked face I had seen earlier, and the hollow look in her eyes when I’d found her at that warehouse, I’d wanted to tear Daniel apart with my bare hands.

But I hadn’t. Because I needed answers. I needed to make sure Christiana and the kids were okay first.

Igently reached down and adjusted her neck, making sure it was comfortable. She had been sitting up for hours, and I knew how much that could hurt. She didn’t deserve any more pain. Not after everything.

Her body tensed as I touched her, but then she relaxed, a small sigh escaping her lips. It felt like I was holding her life together with my hands, like one wrong move would unravel everything. I swallowed hard, trying to push down the anger that surged through me again.
