Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M
Chapter 6

A new version
Rowan
There is something that happens inside you when you see your ex–wife, the mother of your son, shot and bleeding on the cold cemetery ground. Something I never thought I would feel towards Ava. 1
When I saw the men with guns pointing at us, I didn’t fucking think. I knew Noah was safe with my parents so my instincts took over and I dived for Emma. I would die for her and I was prepared to do just that..
I was relieved when the shooters ran after seeing the police but my relief was short lived when one of the officers shouted for an ambulance. I turned around wondering who was hurt, only I didn’t expect it to be Ava and seeing her hurt almost brought me to my knees.
It was a flurry of events after that. The ambulance arrived and the officer refused to let Ava go until he made sure she was safely in the able arms of the doctor.
I was pissed at his reluctance to let her go, she was my wife, I mean ex–wife but more importantly I was pissed at myself. I should have protected her. If something worse had happened to Ava, how would I have explained it to Noah? How would I justify the fact that I had failed to protect his mother?
So here I was pacing back and forth in the waiting room. So fucking worried because we hadn’t gotten a word since Ava was rushed to the emergency room. No one had come out to inform us of the prognosis.
“Please let her be okay” Kate, her mother whispered.
This is the first time I’ve heard any emotion in her voice when she talked about Ava I guess losing her husband and then almost losing her daughter softened her a bit.
We were all here with the exception of Noah Travis was seated next to Kate who was next to

ow long we were waiting, but when I looked up I saw Ava. She was over at the nurse’s station handing off papers. Her left arm was in a sling as she took her credit card and put it in her bag.
With difficulty, she managed to get out her phone, while still holding her bag. You could see that it wasn’t an easy task by the frown on her face.

“Ava” I called as she was about to walk past us. Her eyes still on her phone.
She looked up. I immediately noticed that something about her was different. I couldn’t place my
finger on it but it was there.
“What are you doing here, did someone else get hurt?” she asked. Her voice flat and devoid of any
emotion.
“How are you doing?” her mom asked instead of replying.
“Unfortunately for you, I’m not dead yet”
Her answer took everyone by surprise. Not only because of how she worded, but because of how cold it was.
I decide to cut in. “Where are you going”
“Home” was her only answer.
“Your hand is in a sling, you can’t drive” I reason.
