Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back (Charlotte and Arthur)

Chapter 29 A Cruel Reminder

The warm–toned room felt like a soft embrace, with Julius curled up in Sarah’s arms. His tiny hand was tightly gripping hers, his feverish face flushed, his little brow drawn in discomfort.

Sarah gently stroked his back, occasionally checking his forehead to see if his temperature had gone down.

Julius‘ weak, hoarse voice broke the silence, his call barely a whisper.

Sarah held him close, her voice soothing. “It’s okay, Julius. You’ll be feeling better soon.”

Charlotte stood frozen at the door, her fingers gripping the doorframe as if it might anchor her.

Her heart felt as if it were being torn apart, every stab of pain a reminder of how much they had all moved on without her.
