Chapter 0288
Rowan.
I rush back to the hospital. My anger had yet to simmer down. It was still F***ing hard to
believe that Emma would stoop that low. That she would hurt Ava simply because I no
longer wanted her.
Why was it F***ing hard for her to understand that? Why couldn’t she just accept that I
didn’t love her
anymore?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was gripping the steering wheel so hard
that it made it difficult to navigate the car. Forcing myself to relax my grip, I focus on Ava’s
beautiful smile. The last
thing any of us needed was me getting into an accident.
I continue driving as thoughts bombarded my mind. I still don’t understand what went
wrong with Emma.
She used to be such a kind soul. It’s one of the reasons I fell in love with her. She was an
angel with a
heart of pure gold.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at her now, I still can’t believe that she’s the same woman I had been madly in
love. The girl I fell
for when I was younger was nowhere to be seen.
The girl I’d fallen in love with wouldn’t be so malicious that she would cause someone else
harm. She wouldn’t be so cold–hearted that she would ignore and push her son away. She
wouldn’t be cruel enough to threaten my son or make up lies just to get what she wanted.
I understand that we all change. We let go of our childhood behavior and mature. Emma
had changed for the worst. She had become someone unrecognizable. Someone I could
never love.
Ava had changed too, but unlike Emma, she had changed for the better. She’d let go of
her childishness and matured into a mother and woman any man would be proud to call
his wife.
It pisses me off that it took this long to see it. To see her worth… But better late than
never.
Right now, I would do anything to make sure she remained by my side. Including burning
the whole world down.
get to the hospital and park the car. Not really bothering with anyone, I head straight to
the waiting room.
Where is Iris? Task Nora the moment I get inside.
All three of them were still there. Still seated, waiting for Ava to wake up. My only hope
was that she’d
ake up okay with no more side effects.

these past few months has taken its toll on them.
Sighing, I stare at them. “Both of you need to rest… as a matter of fact, you need a damn

I didn’t want to admit but I was worried about them. These few months have brought us as
close to each other as we can get. They still didn’t trust me not to hurt their daughter
again, but they
weren’t as hostile as before.
Besides, they were soon going to be my in–laws because I was planning to make Ava my
wife again. So of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcourse, I was worried about them.
“We’ll rest once Ava wakes up,” Theo simply answers.
The man was as stubborn as a mule. There was no point in arguing with him.
Taking a seat, I turn and face my brother.
“Don’t even think about asking me to leave,” he warns. “I’m staying until I know for sure
that Ava is okay”
He knew so damn well. He didn’t have to guess what I was thinking or what I was going to
tell him to do.
We were twins. He knew me like the back of his hand.
I let out a breath and lean back against the plastic chair. Closing my eyes, I try to rein in
my emotions.
“Where did you go?” Gabe asks after a while.
I open my eyes, noticing the Howell’s were also staring at me with curiosity burning in
their eyes.
“The Sharps‘ house to see Emma… I had to confirm something.
And what would that be?” Nora asks in a sharp tone.
I glare at her distrust, but at the same time, I F***ing get her. I’d hurt her daughter
because of the love I used to have for Emma. Of course she would be suspicious that I’d
left Ava in the hospital to go see Emma
