Chapter 172: The Text Message from Five Years Ago

Angela POV

Sean carefully laid me on the hospital bed, his movements gentle as he tucked the blanket around me. My head throbbed beneath the bandages, a constant reminder of the evening's chaos.

"You can leave now," I said, my voice strained but determined. "I'm fine.”

He glanced toward the twins, still curled together on the sofa across the room. "Even if you don't need care, the children do."

I felt a flare of indignation burn through my exhaustion. "Why are you suddenly trying to take my children? Why this sudden interest in being the perfect father?"

The question that had haunted me for five years suddenly burned on my tongue, demanding release.

His brow furrowed, confusion flickering across his features. "What are you talking about? I never said I didn't want children."

A bitter laugh escaped me. "Don't pretend, Mr. Shaw. Just because you didn't say it aloud doesn't mean it wasn't your decision."

Sean's fingers drummed lightly against the edge of my bed. "If I didn't say it, then how exactly was it my decision?"
