Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 175

After Mila calmed her racing thoughts, she returned to the hospital room.

Pushing the door open, she paused in surprise. The room was bathed in moonlight, and there sat Julian on the bed, wearing his fuzzy raccoon pajamas, staring blankly. He only looked up when he heard the door.

"Mom..."

His voice choked with emotion, and he prepared to leap off the bed, barefoot.

Mila quickly rushed over, gently keeping him on the bed. "It's okay, it's okay. What's wrong?"

"I thought you were gone," Julian's voice trembled with fear.

"No, sweetheart. I just stepped out for a bit. See, I'm back now..."

Mila had never left in the middle of the night before. She hadn't realized just how sensitive her son could be. After all, when she left, he was sound asleep.

After soothing him for quite some time, Julian finally drifted back to sleep.

But Mila couldn't rest. She kept glancing at her phone, suppressing her worry as she waited for news.
