Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0250

I stare at her, not really sure if this was a dream or not. Her eyes were unfocused as she surveyed the room before they finally landed on me.

I probably looked like an idiot, gaping at her with my mouth wide open. I know that I’ve been praying for a

miracle. Begging her to wake up. Now that it had finally happened, it all felt surreal.

“Rowan? What’s wrong?” She asks, her voice filled with confusion.

‘Fuck, Ava. You’re awake!” I yell in happiness, startling her in the process.

I grab her and hug her to my chest. It felt so good. So damn good seeing her with her eyes open.

Everything in me screamed in fucking joy. I was happy. I was amazed. I was mesmerized.

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Her voice comes out smothered.

I pull her away from me and just look at her. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I couldn’t believe the miracle that

had taken place.

Just a few minutes ago, I reached the end of my fucking limit. Her doctor had told us to consider the option of letting her go, and here she is. Breathing, eyes opened, and fully awake. It was a fucking miracle.

I hug her again, just to feel grounded. I wanted to treasure this moment for the blessing that it was. Tears.

cloud my eyes, and I let them fall. Fuck. Noah was going to be so fucking happy.

Hell, everybody was going to be. We’ve waited for this moment for three fucking months. Prayed every

single day that she would wake up.

Life without her has been gloomy. It was as if all of us were drowned in our sorrows and there was no ray.

Now she was awake, everything could finally fall back into place. I didn’t have to worry about Noah or Iris because now they have their mother back. No one could take care of them or love them better than Ava could.
