Please Give Me Another Chance Mrs Hamilton

Chapter 1

As the shadows lengthened within the corridors of Harborview Hospital in Janctera City, the air in a particular room carried the antiseptic tang of cleanliness.

Sean Hamilton lay in his hospital bed, weakened by the steady drip of an IV. He turned his gaze to Nadine Scott, his mother, and whispered, “Mommy, I miss Daddy.”

Fever had flushed Sean’s cheeks, and his lips were pale and cracked.

Nadine responded with a gentle smile, her fingers tenderly caressing his forehead. “Sean, darling. Daddy is busy with work right now. But Mommy is here with you, okay?”

Nadine then moistened a cotton swab in warm water and delicately dabbed at Sean’s chapped lips.

But Sean’s insistence grew stronger. He shook his head, saying, “No! I want Daddy, I miss him. Mommy, can you please call Daddy and ask him to come?”

Tears welled in his eyes as he pleaded, and Nadine felt her resolve waver. Her heart wrenched knowing that tears would follow if she refused.

Nadine and Brad Hamilton had been married for five years, and for those five years, Brad had harbored nothing but hatred for her. His animosity even extended to Sean.

Even if she called, Brad wouldn’t come, and his absence would only deepen Sean’s disappointment.

But… Nadine couldn’t bring herself to deny Sean’s plea seeing his desperate eyes. Swallowing her own bitterness, she nodded. “Mommy will try, okay?”

Knowing full well Brad wouldn’t answer, Nadine still decided to try anyway. She couldn’t bear Sean’s hopeful gaze. Even if it meant humiliation, she wanted to fulfill his wish.

Sean’s eyes brightened as he watched her eagerly. Nadine steadied herself and mustered the courage to dial the number that she had memorized deep in her heart.

Even as she dialed Brad’s number, Nadine harbored no illusions about the outcome.
