Ex-Husband's Regret
Chapter 116
First Suspect
Chapter 116
“What do you mean she slipped into a coma?” Theo asks with an unmistakable tremble in his voice.
My heart was once again thudding against my ribcage. It felt like it wanted to punch a whole right through my fucking chest.
I try to think clearly, but it’s like my brain can’t function. Time slowed down as the doctor spoke. All I
heard was a ringing in my ear.
I stumble back and fall on the seat I had vacated. Gabe and my dad put their hands on me, but I shake
them off. I didn’t want their comfort. I wanted the doctor to tell me that the surgery had been a success
and that in a few hours Ava would wake up.
“She had a total of four bullets. One hit her head, the second hit her chest, the third hit her stomach, and
the final one hit her thigh. We were able to remove three of them successfully, except for the one in her
skull. It was lodged too deep and removing it would have killed her.”
Fuck. I don’t know what to feel or think about that. He is telling us that Ava will have to live with a bullet
stuck in her head. How is any of that fair? She was okay this morning before things took a turn for the
worst.
‘At least she’s alive,‘ a voice whispers.
I ignore it. She was alive, but would she stay alive? That was the main fucking question.

If I thought nothing could hurt me worse than seeing Ava get shot, then I was wrong. Hearing that we
almost lost her twice destroyed me. It is like being stabbed by a thousand sharp knives. I wouldn’t wish
anyone this fucking pain. Not even my worst enemy.
“Will she wake up?” I breathe hoarsely. “Will she be able to make a full recovery?”
“At this point, we can’t really say. This isn’t an induced coma, and we can’t assure you that she’ll wake up
in a few days. She might wake up tomorrow, in a few days, in a few months, or she might not wake up at
all. For now, we’ll give it a few days to see whether she’ll wake up.”
The possibility that she might not wake up nearly brought me to my knees.
