It's Finally Time to Let Go Chapter 10
I turned toward the voice and saw Wren.It had been a few years since I had last seen her, and she had aged a lot. Deep lines had formed around the corners of her eyes, and much of her hair had turned gray. She leaned on a metal cane, her right leg looking a little stiff.Wren looked at me nervously, with unconcealed bitterness in her eyes, and said, "Long time no see."I didn't avoid her. I just nodded calmly. "Long time no see."The air between us felt heavy.Wren's fingers tightened around the cane until her knuckles turned white. Her voice trembled slightly. "I… I got transferred here to work an office job. Are you… doing okay?""I'm doing pretty well."Her lips parted. It seemed like she still wanted to ask me something."Daddy!" A little figure ran out of the play area and threw herself into my arms.Rachel looked up at me, her eyes shining, holding up a teddy bear she'd won from one of the claw machines. "Daddy, look! I got it!"I smiled and patted her head, then used

Xavier had on a faded old jacket; his hair was a mess, and his face looked pale. He was nothing like he used to be. The second he saw me, he dropped to his knees in front of everyone.A few of my coworkers and people passing by stopped and stared."Theo, please. You have to help me!" Xavier begged as he reached for my leg, but I stepped back."Wren doesn't care about us anymore. She gave all the money to you! Lydia's kidney failure is worsening, and she's in the ICU now. We need a ton of money every day just to keep her alive!"Tears and snot ran down his face, making him look utterly miserable. He continued, "Leo's sick too. Theo, I know you've got all that money. You're such a kind person. Please just give me a little, even if it's only because Lydia took care of you all those years. If not, we're not going to make it!"People around started whispering."Xavier." My voice wasn't loud, but clear enough. "Leo's sick, and you need money to treat him, right?"He nodded frantically

Wren stopped three steps away from me, not daring to come any closer.I looked at her calmly. "Did you read the divorce papers? If everything looks fine, sign it. You can discuss any requests with my lawyer.""I'm not signing it!" She looked at me anxiously. "Theo, please don't leave me. I know I've made many mistakes in the past six months. But I never said any of those things Xavier claimed I did! I checked the security footage. He drugged me the night I slept with him…"Her voice was full of pleading. "Theo, he tricked me. You're the only one I ever loved."A gust of wind swept by, sending the fallen leaves skittering across the ground.I listened quietly to everything she had to say, and I couldn't help finding the whole situation a little ridiculous."Are you done?"She froze for a moment, then nodded blankly."Wren." My voice sounded faint. "Do you think that as long as you prove you didn't cheat, prove you never wanted that child, and prove you never said those things, t

After the door closed, Wren came back to my bedside, her voice almost pleading. "Theo, I'm sorry. I didn't know my mom would say that. I promise I won't let them bother you again. Let's start over again. I'll do as you say from now on, alright?"I lowered my eyes, not bothering to look at her again. "Wren, just sign the divorce papers."I heard her strained breathing behind me."I'm not signing them." Her voice trembled. "I don't agree to the divorce. I'm sorry for hurting you. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. You're not doing well right now. You need someone to take care of you.""I don't need you." I felt around under my pillow for my phone, called a home care agency, and arranged for a full-time caregiver.Wren just stood there and watched the whole time. Only after I hung up did she speak, her voice hoarse. "Okay, I won't upset you. I'll stay right outside. If you need anything, just call me."Then she stepped outside.For the next week, while I was hospit

Just then, someone pushed the hospital room door open. Lydia hurried in, with Xavier supporting her.She said, "Wren, I heard Theo was hospitalized. What happened?"Xavier glanced at me, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes. But he quickly put on a worried look and turned to Wren. "Wren, is Theo okay? They've found Leo. It was just a misunderstanding. Please don't be angry with Theo because of Leo. I'm sure he didn't mean to do it."Hearing Xavier's voice, Wren shot to her feet and stared at him, her eyes frosty.Lydia added, "That's right, Wren. Theo has a bad temper. He couldn't get over what happened back then, so of course he'd be jealous of Xavier. Just let it go after giving him a piece of your mind."Wren clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking. Her voice shook. "Mom, Theo was badly injured. He has a hole in his stomach, and his organs were damaged. He suffered severe internal bleeding."Lydia froze, staring at me with her mouth open. "S-Severe internal bleeding? How d

Seeing the blood spreading through the bathwater, Wren finally seemed to wake up from a daze. "Theo? Blood… Where did all this blood come from?"Wren stumbled toward me, both hands shaking badly. She desperately tried to undo the belt around my wrist several times, but the metal buckle was stuck tight. Her voice shook with panic.I watched her fumble around helplessly as a tearing pain ripped through my insides and spread through my whole body."Get lost…" I could barely get the two words out. Even breathing hurt. My vision started to blur. All I could feel was her finally pulling the belt free.Wren pulled me out of the icy water and held me tightly in her arms. When she touched the blood covering my body, she started shaking violently. "Theo, don't scare me. I'm taking you to the hospital now!"Then Wren grabbed a bath towel, wrapped it around me, and dragged me out of the house. She kept shaking the whole way, tears constantly falling onto my face.She kept begging me to keep
