Evangeline's POV

The interview aired at nine o'clock that evening. Jennifer texted me the link, adding only: You need to see this.

I was sitting beside Theo's bed when I pulled up the video on my phone. Ethan had just finished his rounds and settled into the chair across from me, his presence steady and comforting.

The screen showed Sabrina in her apartment, wrapped in a blanket despite the warm room. Her face was pale, makeup carefully applied to enhance the appearance of illness. Dark circles under her eyes, cheekbones prominent, her voice weak.

"I don't know why this is happening to me," she said to the interviewer, her eyes filling with tears. "I'm dying. I have six months to live, maybe less. And instead of being allowed to spend my remaining time in peace, I'm being accused of terrible things."

The interviewer, a woman with sharp eyes and a sympathetic expression, leaned forward. "The police are investigating inconsistencies in your medical records. Can you address those concern

  • He Gave Her the Wedding, I Gave Him Divorce   Chapter 35

    Evangeline's POVSix Months LaterSpring arrived with an explosion of cherry blossoms and warm sunshine. I stood in the doorway of Theo's new bedroom in our apartment, our own place, finally, after months of staying with Jennifer, watching him arrange his cars on the new shelves Ethan had helped install last weekend."Mama, look! They all fit perfectly!" Theo beamed at his organized collection."They do, sweetheart. Dr. Taylor did a great job measuring.""Can he come over for dinner again tonight?"I smiled. "He's coming over later, yes. But remember, we're having lunch with Dad first.""I know. Dad's bringing Grandma." Theo's expression turned cautious. "Do you think she'll be nice this time?""I think she'll try her best. And if she's not, we'll talk about it after, okay?"Marguerite had been making efforts over the past few months. Real efforts, not just empty promises. She'd attended Theo's therapy sessions, learned about autism from actual experts instead of making assumptions, a

  • He Gave Her the Wedding, I Gave Him Divorce   Chapter 34

    Evangeline's POVSaturday arrived faster than I expected. I'd spent the week settling into a routine with Theo—physical therapy appointments, playtime at home, short walks around the neighborhood. He was improving daily, his energy returning along with his bright curiosity about everything.Jennifer had insisted on watching Theo for the evening, despite my protests."You deserve this," she'd said firmly. "A night out, away from hospitals and therapy sessions and all the stress you've been carrying. Let yourself have something good."Now, standing in front of the mirror in Jennifer's guest room, I felt nervous in a way I hadn't experienced in years. The dress I'd chosen was simple but elegant, deep blue that brought out my eyes. Not too formal, not too casual."You look beautiful," Jennifer said from the doorway. "Ethan's not going to know what hit him.""I feel ridiculous. I'm too old for first-date jitters.""You're thirty-two, not ninety. And you're allowed to feel excited about thi

    Evangeline's POVThe day Theo was discharged from the hospital felt surreal. After two months of sterile rooms and beeping monitors, walking out into the sunlight with my son holding my hand seemed almost too good to be true."Ready to go home, sweetheart?" I squeezed his hand gently.Theo nodded, clutching his favorite toy car in his other hand. "Will all my other cars be there?""Every single one. I made sure they're all waiting for you in your room."Ethan appeared with the discharge paperwork and a wheelchair hospital policy required. "All set. Theo, your chariot awaits.""I can walk," Theo protested."Hospital rules, buddy. But once we get outside, you can walk all you want." Ethan helped him into the wheelchair with practiced ease.As we made our way through the hospital corridors, nurses and staff stopped to say goodbye. Theo had become something of a favorite during his stay, and many had followed his recovery closely."You take care of yourself, Theo," one nurse said, rufflin

    Dashiell's POVI sat in the hospital cafeteria, staring at a cup of coffee I hadn't touched. Through the window, I could see the entrance where Ethan had just walked out with Evangeline, the two of them talking easily as they headed toward the parking lot.She was smiling at something he'd said. That genuine, unguarded smile I'd seen so rarely during our marriage.Lawrence slid into the seat across from me. "You look like hell.""Thanks.""I mean it. When's the last time you slept?" He gestured at my coffee. "Or ate actual food instead of mainlining caffeine?""I'm fine.""You're not fine. You're sitting here torturing yourself watching your ex-wife fall for another man." Lawrence leaned back. "Why are you doing this to yourself?""Theo's my son. I want to be here for him.""Bull. You've been here every day, sometimes twice a day, even when Theo's asleep. You're not here just for him." Lawrence's gaze was knowing. "You're here hoping to run into her."I didn't deny it."Dashiell." Law

  • He Gave Her the Wedding, I Gave Him Divorce   Chapter 31

    Evangeline's POVTheo's recovery progressed steadily over the following weeks. Each day brought small victories—sitting up on his own, eating soft foods, speaking in full sentences. The physical therapists worked with him daily, helping him rebuild strength in muscles that had atrophied during his coma.But the emotional recovery was more complicated.Theo had nightmares. He woke screaming about the accident, about the black car, about not being able to move. Some nights I slept in the hospital room with him, holding his hand until he fell back asleep.Dashiell visited every day. Sometimes twice. He brought Theo's favorite books, his toy cars, anything he thought might help. And to his credit, he never pushed. Never tried to take over or override my decisions about Theo's care.He was trying. Really trying to be the father he should have been all along."How's he doing today?" Dashiell asked one afternoon, settling into the chair on the opposite side of Theo's bed."Better. He walked

  • He Gave Her the Wedding, I Gave Him Divorce   Chapter 30

    Evangeline's POVThree weeks after Sabrina's arrest, I was reading to Theo when his fingers twitched.At first, I thought I'd imagined it. But then it happened again—a small, barely perceptible movement against my palm."Theo?" My voice shook. "Baby, can you hear me?"Another twitch. Stronger this time.I lunged for the call button, pressing it frantically. "I need Dr. Taylor! Now! Theo's moving!"Within seconds, nurses flooded the room. Ethan appeared moments later, his face focused and professional as he examined Theo."Theo, if you can hear me, squeeze your mom's hand," Ethan said calmly.I held my breath.And then I felt it. A definite squeeze."He did it!" Tears streamed down my face. "He squeezed my hand!"Ethan's expression remained controlled, but I could see the excitement in his eyes. "That's excellent. Theo, can you do it again for me?"Another squeeze."Good. Very good." Ethan checked the monitors, made notes on his tablet. "His vitals are strong. Brain activity is spiking
