Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 14

New development
Rowan.

“How is she doing, Rowan?” Kate, Ava’s mother asks.

The concern in her voice is genuine. You can hear how hard she’s trying to stop herself from

crying. It’s been a very hard couple of days and I still can’t over how we almost lost Ava

“She woke up yesterday for a few minutes before going back to sleep and before you start

worrying, the doctor said it’s normal for patients with head injuries”

I hear her sigh with relief. Kate has been different since the death of her husband She wants to

get close to Ava only now Ava has decided she doesn’t want anything to do with her family. In fact

she doesn’t want anything to do with all of us.

“Will she be okay? Will she make a full recovery?”

“Yes, the doctors are confident, but they’re not sure if she will be completely okay. It’s still too

early to tell but they say with this type of head injury there might be complications”

That was one of the things I was fucking afraid of. In all honest I just wanted her to be okay.

“Don’t worry though, Ava is strong I’m sure she’ll pull through. I got to go but I’ll call when she

wakes up, the last time she did, she was asking about Noah”

“Okay, Rowan, please keep me informed and make sure she’s getting the best treatment”

“I will”

I hang up after that and watch her. She looks so peaceful and beautiful. Why have I never noticed

how flawless her complexion is? Or how naturally long her eye lashes are? Or how full and red her

lips are

‘Because you never wanted to, you were so focused on hating and blaming her that you never

noticed anything good about her‘ my inner voice whispers. *

I sigh because I know that it’s the truth. I never wanted her so I went to great lengths to block her
