Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 371

Mila gave a couple of brief instructions to the bodyguard before finally slipping into the adjacent hospital room. She walked quietly to the bedside and sat down. Julian was still deeply unconscious, his little face pale and worryingly still. The trauma he'd suffered this time had been severe; the doctors said there was a real chance he might start remembering things from his past. Whether he could make it through this ordeal would depend on his condition when he woke up.

Staring at the child's uneasy, restless sleep, Mila felt as if a lead weight had settled in her chest. The accident had happened so suddenly, she still couldn't wrap her mind around it.

It seemed like nothing good ever came of her encounters with the Montgomery family. Every time, it ended in chaos. She was simply exhausted.
