Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0241

“The doctors aren’t sure, Bud. We’ll just have to wait and pray.” I decide to go with honesty.

If lied and, God forbid, Ava never wakes up, he would end up hating me for lying that his mom was okay.

He doesn’t say anything. Just looks at me before looking at the floor.

After a few minutes of silence, I turn and face the rest.

“Since we won’t be able to see her today, I think you should all go home, get some rest, and come back

tomorrow.”

“No,” both Corrine and Letty refuse at the same time, followed by Nora and Theo.

I try to convince them that I’ll let them know if something comes up, but they refuse to budge. In the end, everyone decides to stay except for Emma, Cal, Kate, and my parents.

arrives.
