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.

How could it all be such a coincidence?

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

Leaning forward, she rested her head beside Julian's pillow, reaching under the covers to gently wrap her fingers around his small, fragile hand. With her face buried in the blanket, she whispered softly, her voice muffled.

"I'm so sorry..."

Bang!

The heavy fire door slammed shut behind them. Nathaniel spun on his heel and swung a fist at Lysander, but the other man blocked it easily and shoved him back.

"Nathaniel, what on earth are you doing?"

Lysander calmly straightened his cufflinks, his face unreadable as he spoke in a measured tone.

"Lysander!" Nathaniel gritted out, clutching his nearly dislocated wrist. "You were the one who recommended that restaurant for me to take my son. Don't tell me today's mess had nothing to do with you. What the hell are you playing at? You know all about Julian's condition—are you out of your mind?"
