Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0352

I sigh in relief. Finally, I was able to prove that Emma isn’t as evil as others believed. My head was killing me, and I just wanted to sleep. o

“Are we done now?” I asked Brian. “Can I leave? And can she be released?”

“Yes. As for Emma, she’ll have to wait a little bit in order for us to process her release papers, but you can leave. I can tell you’re tired.”

He had no idea just how much he was right. I felt like my damn head was about to explode and leave tiny brain splatters everywhere.

“Come, I’ll take you to the hospital first.” Rowan rises up and gives me his hand. I am hesitant at first, but I place my hand in his. “I don’t want to go to the hospital, Rowan. I want to go home and rest.”

He was about to argue when Emma interrupted in a timid voice. It was so unlike her. The changes that she’d undergone kept surprising. Emma isn’t the same girl who ran away from her heartbreak years ago. She also isn’t the same woman who came back years later. This new version of her just seemed defeated and lost.

“Can I please talk to Ava privately?” She finally asks.

Rowan turns to me, and I nod my head. I was interested in knowing what she wanted to talk about. Let’s just say my curiosity got the better of me.

They walk out, and soon it’s just me and Emma. It feels kind of weird, given that we haven’t exactly seen eye-to-eye since she came back.

“I just wanted to thank you, Ava. You didn’t have to; you could have believed I was guilty just like everyone else, yet you didn’t. I’ll always be grateful for what you’ve done for me today. I know if it wasn’t for you, I would have probably gone to prison,” she finally says after a while.

“It’s nothing, Emma. I was just doing the right thing. You didn’t deserve to go to prison for something you didn’t do.”

I’ve done to you since I came back, you could have hidden that information. You could have pretended like you didn’t know the truth. You could have kept quiet

I would have done the same, but with my memory back comes the remembrance of that day she took a bullet for me. She didn’t have to,
