Tessa lay on the operating table. The bright, cold lights of the OR were blinding, the sharp smell of antiseptic so strong it felt like she could taste it. Her skin was as pale as the sheet covering her. Her breathing was short and rushed.

Nathan Hale was already in a sterile gown, cap, and mask. Inside his chest there was a strange feeling, like an outsider had stepped into a sacred, terrifying ritual.

“Mr. Hale, you can wait outside if that’s more comfortable,” the nurse said softly, her tone almost pitying. They normally didn’t allow anyone in except the medical team, but if Nathan Hale asked, they knew there wasn’t much they could do about it.

For a split second, fear showed clearly in Tessa’s eyes. Her cold fingers clamped around Nathan’s hand, gripping so tightly it felt like she refused to let go.

“Don’t,” Tessa panted. “Don’t leave.”

Nathan didn’t think twice. His decision locked in. “I’m staying. I’m not going anywhere.”

Inside him there was only one simple certainty. Nothing

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 136: A Miracle Named Ethan

    Tessa’s entire body felt light, as if it no longer had any weight. Darkness wrapped around her, but in the middle of that silence, one sound cut through clearly. A constant beeping that pierced her ears. She did not know what the sound was. She did not know where she was.With great effort, Tessa forced her eyes open. Her eyelids felt unbearably heavy. The bright light in the room blinded her for a moment before her vision slowly came into focus.And that was when she saw him.Nathan was there.He sat in a chair beside her bed, his body leaning forward, his head resting against the edge of the mattress. His hand was gripping Tessa’s tightly. Nathan was asleep, yet even in sleep his face looked tense, etched with worry. The dark circles beneath his eyes were unmistakable, making him look as if he had aged ten years in just a few hours.Because it had only been a few hours, right?A dull, throbbing pain pulsed through Tessa’s lower abdomen. Her memories came back in broken fragments. Th

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 135: A Prayer Outside the Operating Room

    Minutes crawled by like centuries from Nathan’s point of view. Every second pressed down on his shoulders with a weight that felt crushing. The flat, steady beep of the machine still echoed in his head, a ghost that refused to leave even after the door had been tightly shut. He pushed himself away from the wall. His muscles were stiff, his body aching, the cold from the floor seeping straight into his bones.Nathan’s gaze dropped to the tiny human in Karen’s arms. The woman looked at the baby with a softness that felt foreign to him. His child. His and Tessa’s. Part of him, the part still thinking clearly and drowning in guilt, knew this was unfair. The baby had done nothing wrong. Tessa had loved and wanted this child with her whole heart. She would hate him if she knew he could barely bring himself to look at the baby’s face.With an effort that felt almost impossible, Nathan stepped forward. One step, then another. The hushed conversations around him stopped. Every pair of eyes tur

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 134: On the Edge of Losing

    The flat, steady beeping kept drilling into Nathan’s ears, burning into his brain like the echo of the moment the world stopped. Tessa. His Tessa. Lying there, motionless. Pale. Eyes closed.He wanted her to open them, to look at him again with that green that always anchored him to reality.“Please do something.” His voice came out rough and cracked, so wrecked it barely sounded like his own.They tried to move him back. Blue-gloved hands grabbed his arm and pulled, but he fought them with the blind desperation of a cornered animal.“Mr. Hale, you need to step out. We need space to work.” The doctor’s voice was firm, but all Nathan saw were the eyes above the mask, and in them he read the same panic that was frying him from the inside.“No.” Nathan growled, still struggling. “I’m not leaving her. She doesn’t want to be alone.”He knew they were right. He knew he should go. His body refused. He had to stay. Protocol meant nothing. Nothing meant anything. If Tessa left, if he lost her,

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 132: Contractions and Fear

    The pain was alive. It was like a monster wrapped around the lower part of Tessa’s abdomen, digging in with steel claws. Each contraction crashed over her in waves, pulling her under, stealing her breath, wiping out any ability to think clearly. She tried to take slow deep breaths like she had once read in a book, but reality was far crueler and more terrifying than any printed words.Her body, as if betraying her, had decided to start this on its own, ignoring every plan and every medical warning she had ever heard.Nathan held her up with a steady grip that kept her anchored to reality. He guided her toward the elevator, his arm the only support she had while her legs trembled and nearly gave out beneath her. Up ahead, Julian rushed forward, slamming the button and yanking the doors open in a panic.“I’m driving,” Julian said flatly once they reached the car.Even with the heat of anger from Julian’s confession still hanging in the air, Nathan only gave a brief nod. His focus was lo

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 131: When the Secret Broke Open

    Tessa felt like she was floating on cotton clouds, the kind of light dream people said was common late in pregnancy. Then something yanked her out of it. A heavy thud, a hard hit, then chaotic, angry voices cut through the fog of sleep.Tsunami? Earthquake?She pushed herself up from the sofa, still dazed, heart pounding. Nathan’s jacket that had been draped over her slipped into her lap. She blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the office lights while rubbing her eyes.Then she saw it.The scene in front of her didn’t feel real. Nathan and Julian. Nathan had Julian by the collar of his suit and slammed him back against the bookshelf with brutal force. The books rattled from the impact. Nathan’s face was twisted with raw fury Tessa hadn’t seen in a long time. Julian, cornered but not yielding, looked tense as he shoved back.“You think you have the right to touch her, huh?” Nathan growled. His voice cracked like thunder that made the office windows tremble.“I already told you it
