Nathan managed to get Ethan to sleep in just a few minutes. The small body went completely limp, warm and heavy against his shoulder. He let out a quiet breath of relief. At least one small mission had gone right tonight.

Moving with extreme care, Nathan entered the bedroom. Every step was controlled, nearly silent, so he would not wake the baby sleeping on his shoulder or the woman who was supposed to be resting on the bed. He lowered Ethan gently into the crib, made sure he was positioned comfortably, then pulled the cotton blanket Tessa had chosen up to the baby’s chest.

The exhaustion hit him the moment he straightened up. His bones felt heavy, but there was a quiet sense of satisfaction underneath it. The plan was simple. Get back into bed, slide under the covers, feel Tessa’s warmth, then sleep, even if it was only for a few hours.

But when he turned around, his chest tightened.

Tessa was not lying down.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed. Her face was tense with pain, one h

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 149: Family, In Their Own Way

    EpilogueThe garden at the Hale estate was filled with life and warmth, something that would have been impossible to imagine a year ago. Strings of colorful lights hung between the trees. A long table overflowed with simple but tempting food. At the center of it all stood a lion-shaped cake. It leaned a little to one side, but it had been made with love by Grandma Karen.At the heart of that small universe, on a soft blanket, lay Ethan, a six-month-old baby lion. He was dressed in a fuzzy costume with a hood and tiny ears, making him look like a cub ready to roar. He tried to crawl toward anything shiny, dragging his chubby body forward with a determination that filled Tessa’s chest with pride.Tessa looked around, taking it all in slowly. Karen sat in a garden chair, watching Ethan with open affection, a softness that even smoothed out the usually sharp lines of her face. Not far away, Tyler and Jack were busy with their own task. Tyler was trying to add another string of lights to a

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 137: The Most Precious Achievement

    Tessa was drifting in a dark, soothing layer of sleep when a cry pierced through her awareness. It was loud but fragile at the same time, like it was calling out and demanding attention all at once. Her brow furrowed, her breathing shifted slightly. She was not fully awake, but her heart recognized the sound instantly.It was Ethan crying. Her son.Even at just one week old, Tessa was already certain her baby had the strongest voice she had ever heard. Even half-asleep, her maternal instinct kicked in, urging her body to move.The room was dim. Moonlight slipped softly through the window, casting faint shadows along the walls. Tessa’s body felt heavy, exhaustion still clinging to every joint. The C-section incision made her hesitate to get up too quickly. She was just about to shift when she heard quiet movement beside the bed.She did not open her eyes. She only felt the mattress dip slightly, then the warmth next to her disappear. In her not-quite-conscious state, she knew exactly w

  • 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

    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,
