Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Carney stood next to James, Little Nina's child-sized water bottle slung over her shoulder. She watched Little Nina with a warm, doting smile.

They'd arrived early; the playground was still quiet, with only a handful of children scattered about. It was far from bustling.

The carousel began to turn, and Little Nina's face lit up with delight. Her laughter rang out, infectious and free. Watching her so happy, James couldn't help but chuckle along.

Carney gave a contented sigh. "Little Nina's thriving in that old town. Look at those chubby cheeks-she's plumper than last time we visited."

"Absolutely," James agreed, holding up his phone to record a video of Little Nina. "Bryn says the doctor at the clinic-Mr. Ellsworth is really talented, especially with tricky childhood illnesses. She swears by him."

Carney nodded. “If Mr. Chadwick personally recommended him, he must be something special."

"Do you know much about Mr. Ellsworth?" James glanced over at Carney.

Carney shook her head. "I've only heard of his mentor, Dr. Calloway. Medicine runs in their family-they've been doctors for generations. Calloway's own son, though, wasn't interested in following in his footsteps."
