Too Late to Win Me Back Chapter 12
The ambulance arrived quickly. After stabilizing Ethan at the scene, the paramedics rushed him to the hospital.Once Magnus found out Ethan was my ex, he kept grumbling that he should've gotten in a few kicks while he had the chance.But despite all his complaining, he still quietly covered a large portion of Ethan's medical expenses and told the hospital to do whatever it took to save him.Our biggest concern was Kyle and Katie. We didn't want what they'd witnessed to leave any lasting trauma, so Magnus and I postponed our trip home and took them to counseling.We stayed another week, and once we were sure the kids were doing fine, we finally headed home.Three major things happened while we were still there.First, Ethan survived. The doctors managed to save him, but although his brain function began to recover, he never regained consciousness. He was left in a vegetative state and would spend the rest of his life confined to a hospital bed.Second, because Ethan survived, Mic

Ethan went on. "Michelle never deserved all the chances I gave her. Her mother wasn't bedridden at all. She made the whole thing up just to come between us."Sara, she lied to me for years, and I only found out the truth today. Looking back now, I feel like such a fool."I let out a bitter laugh.A fool? Was that really worse than being rejected in front of everyone, then falsely accused and having my reputation ruined?None of it surprised me. He had no one to blame but himself. For years, he'd refused to see Michelle for who she really was.Ethan looked up at me again, tears streaming down his face.That was when I noticed how exhausted he looked. Faint shadows ringed his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night, and he was noticeably thinner than the Ethan I remembered from eight years ago.I barely had time to think about it before Kyle spoke up beside me."Mommy, you taught us that feeling sorry for people who do bad things just gives them another chance to do it again. Peopl

The moment the video call connected, Magnus broke into a grin and immediately started flirting with me. "Babe, it's been forever. I missed you so much."We'd been together for seven years, but I still wasn't completely used to how openly affectionate he could be, even with other people around.Diana wisely pretended not to hear and ushered Kyle and Katie out of the room."So? Did you miss me?" Magnus asked.My cheeks warmed. "I did.""What was that? I couldn't hear you."He obviously had, but he tilted his head, bringing his ear closer to the screen."I missed you," I repeated."Who missed me?" he teased, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips.My face grew even hotter. Gritting my teeth, I raised my voice. "I missed you, honey."A sudden thump came from the doorway. I turned to find three heads peeking around the doorframe, one above the other.Diana gave me a sheepish grin. "Sorry. These two refused to stay away. They insisted on coming in."My face felt like it was on f

I hurried to reassure her. "It's nothing, Diana. I can handle it. I didn't want to bother you over something this small."Ethan and Michelle froze. "Diana?"Ethan looked especially shaken. The last trace of hope vanished from his face as the color drained from it.He could tell himself that Kyle and Katie were just two kids I'd gotten to play along, but he couldn't explain Diana away so easily.The company had gone out of its way to recruit her not long ago, and she was his direct supervisor. Her integrity was beyond question, and she was highly respected both nationally and internationally.There was no reason for someone like her to help me stage a lie.From the moment Diana arrived, everyone around us had gone quiet.Ethan gritted his teeth. "Professor Hart, is Sara the daughter-in-law you mentioned before? The one who lives overseas? Do you even know what she did back then? She stole someone else's—"I caught the malice in his eyes, and my heart turned cold. I never thought

Ethan's voice grew rougher with every word until his sobs made it almost impossible for him to speak.So he did know.When he'd chosen to believe Michelle over me and even accused me of something I hadn't done to protect her, I'd thought he'd forgotten everything I'd ever done for him."But Mommy does those things for Kyle and me too. Mommy loves us too," Katie said, her arms wrapped around my neck."That's right."I kissed her little cheek, then looked at Ethan. He stood frozen in place, sobbing so hard he could barely speak.I added, "Love doesn't just disappear. But neglect it long enough, and sooner or later, that love will find its way to someone else."I stepped around Ethan to leave, but he moved in front of me again, refusing to let me pass.I'd had enough. "Ethan, what do you want from me?"Ethan looked at me with red-rimmed eyes. "Show me their birth certificates. Prove they're really your children, and I'll believe you have a husband and a family now. Otherwise, I'm

The girl looked absolutely adorable in a little red dress and black leather shoes.Beside her, the boy wore a shirt and vest with a beret perched on his head. He held her hand tightly, looking far too serious and mature for his age.The two children immediately drew excited gasps from the crowd."They're adorable. Who did they just call Mommy?"As everyone whispered among themselves, the twins ran straight to me, and each wrapped their arms around one of my legs.I crouched down and scooped my daughter, Katie Fortner, into my arms, then ruffled my son Kyle Fortner's hair.Smiling, I said, "Kyle, thanks for taking such good care of Katie for me."The moment everyone realized they were my children, the crowd erupted again.Michelle froze for a second, then a smile she couldn't suppress slowly spread across her face.Ethan, meanwhile, went completely pale. The ring slipped from his fingers and hit the floor. His lips trembled, and the shock in his eyes quickly gave way to disappo
