Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 288:

In the ICU, the silence was only broken by the sound of machines beeping rhythmically. RK sat by Stella’s bedside, holding her hand gently against his face.

“Stella, listen to me, please wake up. You can yell at me, hit me, do whatever you want—just wake up. I’ll send Adrian back, I promise. Just wake up, okay?” His voice cracked with desperation.

He knew how much Adrian meant to her. She had always said Adrian was her reason for living. RK, feeling petty and jealous of Tristan’s presence, had acted impulsively. Now he regretted everything. If only she would wake up, he would give anything. He realized how wrong he had been, and now he would bear the consequences, whatever they might be.

“Stella, why did you do this? Why would you try to end your life? I never thought you’d go this far. You’re strong, you always fought back—you’re not someone who gives up. Why would you jump off a building?” RK’s voice grew softer, but the room remained as quiet as ever.

He stayed by her side all night. The doctor had told him that if Stella could make it through the next two days, she would wake up. But if she didn’t, she might fall into a vegetative state.

No matter the outcome, he just wanted her to live. As long as she was safe, he would give her everything she asked for.

The hours dragged on until RK’s phone rang.

“Hey, RK, I heard you won the custody case. Congrats! But why can’t I reach Stella? Is she ignoring me?” Aden’s voice sounded lighthearted.
