Semua Bab Too late ex Husband : Bab 1 - Bab 10

I slowly took it out from my purse as I glanced at the caller ID. It was Mason—the doctor that took me through my training. I spent years studying medicine only to walk away from it when my daughter got sick. It's been years since we last spoke, I became shocked as my eyes flickered with surprise. I left the room as I walked down the hospital's hallway to avoid disturbing Sophie. I swiped over on my phone as my fingers shivered.“Hello Mason." I said as my voice came out low.“Hello Jane. It's been a long while, how are you doing over there?" His voice has suddenly changed as it felt as if I had never known someone like him.I kept quiet for a while, let out a huff and then continued. “I've been doing great Mason. It's nice talking to you.” "My dream finally came to realization. I have a hospital now and if you hadn't given up on your dreams, you could have had a better spot. But whenever you decide to come back to your dream, there's a better spot for you in my hospital." Mason ha

The next morning, I woke up with a stiff neck inside the uncomfortable hospital chair. Soft rays of sunlight slipped through the curtains while the steady beeping of machines echoed quietly through Sophie's ward. My chest tightened painfully as I slowly lifted my head.Murphy was asleep on the couch across the room with his arms folded while Nessa sat beside him, her head resting lightly on his shoulder.My breath caught instantly because the sight felt too intimate like they had done it before. My stomach twisted painfully as I stared at them. Murphy didn't even realize when his secretary crossed boundaries anymore. Or perhaps he simply didn't care.I looked away quickly before tears could gather again. The movement must have stirred Sophie awake because she blinked sleepily before smiling immediately.“Daddy...” she whispered happily.Murphy opened his eyes almost instantly and sat upright.“Princess.” His face softened immediately as he walked over to her bed. “How are you feeling?

I left the hospital with Sophie right after she became stable. My heart had leaped into my chest because I feared something would have happened to her.My hands were placed on the steering as I tried to concentrate on the road. Sophie laid on the back sit, her drugs clutched to her chest.When we arrived at the house, Murphy wasn't home yet. I knew he mentioned he was busy but it was already half past eleven p.m and every married man like him should know it's time to be at home.Gently, I unlocked the car, stepped down with the other hand rolling my skirt up, and walked over to where Sophie was.“Sophie, we are home now. Let's go inside so you can rest.” I carried her onto my palms, kicked the car door closed and began moving inside.She barely spoke. The illness was already eating her up and that really broke me. I had tried every possible thing to make sure she got the best doctor. I gave her pills on time, took her to the hospital for tests, and did every goddamn thing. “Mom, I wa

A cold quietness washed over me. I didn't want to cry; I just felt completely numb. I slowly let go of Sophie’s hand, fixed her blanket, and stood up to face them. I looked at Murphy, then looked at Nessa. I didn't yell or make a scene. I just gave them a cold, empty smile. The fact that he brought his secretary to a hospital room was so low that I was finally done with him.“Why is she here Murphy?" I forced myself to blink back the tears trying to stream from my eyes.He exhaled, stepped close to Sophie's bed and held her hands. “Jane, how much more shameless could you be? Nessa and I attended a business meeting together and when she heard Sophie was at the hospital, she decided to come with me. Moreover, Sophie enjoys her company." None of this was new to me anymore. He had repeatedly shown me that I'm not good enough to be his wife. He utters every word without thinking them through and I've decided not to be in this shallow anymore.“Wow, really? All you talk about is trips, mee

I gently slipped my phone under the bed and laid my head to ease the pounding. My mind went back to Sophie's lifeless body. Murphy should do whatever he wants with the body and I don't care if I'm being tagged a bad mom for walking away. They didn't know the living hell I had endured, and I had nothing left inside me to give.As the physical throb in my temples began to dull, a sudden, sharp memory cut through the haze.I stood up, the exhaustion completely draining from my body, replaced by a sudden rush of adrenaline. I needed the rest of it.I slipped out of the bedroom and glided down the hallway to Murphy’s private home office. The room smelled of his expensive cologne and expensive leather—a room I was usually forbidden from entering without permission. Tonight, the rules didn't exist.I went straight to his heavy mahogany desk. I began pulling open the drawers, flipping through file folders, tax documents, and bank statements. My heart hammered against my ribs, each second feel
