Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Ava

“I missed you mommy, why didn’t you call me?” Noah asks me, sadness in his voice.

I wanted more than anything to hold him in my arms. Just to reassure myself that I was still with him. That I wasn’t going to leave him motherless.

“I’m sorry my love, I lost my phone and I had to borrow your dad’s”

“Can we do a video call? I want to see you” he demands.

I know he senses that something is wrong but I can’t let him see me lying in a hospital bed. He will worry and want to come home. Given that I am now a supposed target, I couldn’t risk whoever is after me going after him.

I still couldn’t believe that there was a chance I was a main target. That someone wanted me dead.

“Not right now baby, they don’t allow video calls where I am” I lie.

“That’s a st* pid rule! Who makes such st* pid rules?” He screams through the phone.

I know that he is frustrated so I was going to let this slide.

“Noah…

“I just want to see you mommy, can’t dad make them leave you alone? He can make them give you permission, I know he can” he was close to tears and it was breaking my heart.

I look at Rowan and he is grinning like a fool. Noah knows how his father operates. He also knows that one word from Rowan Woods, and everyone bows down.

“Not this time… how about I call you tomorrow and we can skype?”

“You promise?”

“I promise”

I was getting discharged today so that would give me enough time to prepare for the call

tomorrow

“Okay mommy, talk to you tomorrow. I love you”

“Bye baby. Love you too”

“Grandma wants to talk…”

I hang up the phone before he can finish that sentence, I know it’s wrong but I just don’t want to
