Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 113

  1. Code red

Fuck. What did this have to happen to her? Why would someone do this to her? Were there signs that i

ignored? Was she in danger, and I didn’t notice?

The questions keep bombarding my head as Gabe drives out of the underground parking. I would never forgive myself if she was in danger and I didn’t notice it, or even do something about.

“Is she alive?” I ask as the fear of his answer chocks me.

She had to be alive. She just had to.

Gabe gives me a side way glance. “I don’t know much, but I know she’s alive”

‘Barely‘

The words aren’t said, but they are implied.

I saw the video. Whoever was after her wanted to make sure that Ava died. That she didn’t have a chance

of surviving. I don’t know the extent of her wounds, but I know at least two bullets hit her.

“Do you know which hospital she’s at?” I ask, my voice sounding gruff even to my own ears.

I had been so focused on getting to her, that I didn’t even bother asking which hospital she was taken to. I

just wanted to be there for her.

“Yeah, don’t worry. I called around and got the info. I was told they’re taking her to Avenue Hospital” he

answers.

At least they had the mind to take her to the best hospital in the city.

I try to calm my heart. Try to breathe through the panic that threatened to drown me. It’s hard though. So fucking hard. I won’t get a moment of peace until I know that she’s okay.

“She’s going to be okay, Ro” Gabe tells me after a minute or so of silence.

I want to be confident about that, but I am not. She might survive, but what about the baby? Not only was she shot, but when she fell to the ground that impact couldn’t have been good for the baby.

If she survived, but the baby died in the process, she would be devastated. I know Ava. The loss would

destroy her. It would probably be her undoing.
