Loving Mom 33

Chapter 33

Before Sharon had time to think, instinct took over. Her fingers trembled as she pressed Carter’s name on her screen.

Maybe it was the danger, maybe something else-but suddenly, her senses were sharper than ever. She could hear everything. Even the familiar ringtone-his ringtone-coming from the man’s coat just a short distance away.

Sweat beaded in her palm, cold and clammy, making it hard to hold onto the phone. She stared at Carter’s retreating figure, unable to look away, her grip tightening on the device without even realizing it.

Then, he stopped.

Her heart leapt to her throat. She had told herself over and over again that she’d given up on him, that there was nothing left. But in this moment, with her life hanging by a thread, her chest pounded with frantic hope.

Carter pulled out his phone. His gaze darkened slightly when he saw who it was.

Just then, Kelly’s voice broke the silence.

“It’s Sharon… Looks like she’s come around.”

She gave a faint, bloodless smile, her voice barely audible. “Carter, go on. Pick it up. Theo needs his mother to take care of him… Don’t worry about me, I’m fine… It’s not like I have much time left anyway.”

Carter’s eyes flickered. Then, without a word, he rejected the call.
