All Chapters of Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Scarlett’s POV~ “We need to talk. Right now, Ethan,” I repeated, my voice louder than before despite the crack threatening to break it. The air was sharp with tension as Ethan and I stood there, eyes locked on each other. My face was firm, my jaw clenched with my eyes red-rimmed from tears. The pain of having to be apart from your son all because of a shithead like him and watching your son suffer all because of his negligence was unbearable. What kind of father was he? If I were to count his sins and his accusations, then he wouldn't have any ground to stand on. His own guilt and wrongdoings would undermine his credibility and render his accusations against me baseless.. The last time I saw Eric at the hospital, Jasmine claimed I was a bad mother and that I had no right to interfere in Eric's condition. She claimed to know what's best for my own son and Ethan stood by her, defended her and made me embarrassed. Even after what he did in the past, he had the right to speak un

Scarlett’s POV ~As Jasmine spun around to face me, her brows snapped in a scowl with her face etched with disgust.She stared at Ethan and back to me, acting so surprised to see me standing there.What a dramatic idiot. Is she trying to pretend like she hadn't seen me with Ethan before she walked in?“What is she doing here?” She asked, her lips twitching.I didn't reply, instead, I turned to Ethan to continue my conversation with him now that they were done with their fake display of concern over my son's condition.“If anything happens to Eric, if anything happens to my son, you'll beat the consequences, Ethan. I swear to make you suffer I'll make your life miserable,” I shot out at him, my voice louder than intended.Ethan's lips quivered as he fumbled for words. His throat worked but not a single word came out of his mouth. He stepped forward, wanting to reach me but Jasmine held him, stopping him right on his track.“Ethan, don't even bother exchanging words with that bitch. I

Scarlett's POV~ My poor son has been sick and going through all of this since he was born and I had no clue. I felt a pang of guilt and helplessness, knowing my absence had impacted him.“Apart from that….” Ethan continued, and pressed his lips tightly, as if fumbling for the right words.My heart shattered completely. So there was more? Apart from the respiratory distress, there are more medical issues he's been battling.Oh, goodness.I feel guilty, I feel broken and helpless.“Scarlett, I -” Ethan tried to speak but I pinned him with a glare.“Tell me what other medical conditions he has now, Ethan. I don't want you hiding anything from me. If you don't tell me, I'll go over there and consult the doctor.”“Eric has a hole in his heart. The doctor had fixed a specific age requirement for his surgery. Also,”.“There's another one??” I asked, my eyes going wide with surprise.He hesitated, unable to speak as if my anger had shoved down the rest of the words in his throat.His eyes f

Scarlett’s POV ~ My questions were met with no response. The doctor hesitated for a while before responding, “I am not Eric's oncologist, ma'am. I am only here to treat his injury. Every other case will be handled by his personal doctor.” I shook my head, not satisfied with the response. This was the moment I had to also interfere in my son's medical affairs. Now that I'm with him, I have to make sure I'm fully informed about his condition and treatment plan, and advocate for his best interests. “Are you trying to say that you can't help go ahead without his oncologist getting involved in this?” He hesitated before responding. “I should. But I have no clue if he already has a donor. We need confirmation from his parents.” “I'm his mother,” I dropped the bombshell His eyes went wide a bit, a flicker of shock in them. He pulled himself together and proceeded to ask, “Since you're his mother, it will be possible to check if you're a compatible bone marrow donor for Eric.”

Scarlett’s POV~ That evening Dylan was featured on a podcast and his appearance on the show generated a lot of buzz, sparking conversations about his work and ideas among fans and critics alike. As I walked into the sitting room, I ended the conversation I was having with Leslie over the phone, my attention was glued to Dylan who was on the screen. The podcast host's in-depth questions allowed him to share his insights and perspectives, giving listeners a unique glimpse into his thoughts and experiences. He looked quite composed as he gave response to questions involving his career and thoughts on a particular trend When he followed me to the hospital to see Eric, he had plans on preparing for the show but he had to cancel it. He wasn't prepared for the interview but here he is, sitting across from the podcast hosts who are firing off questions and probing for deeper insights. As I settled on my chair, I dropped my phone carefully on the table; Leslie had just called to a
