Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M Novel Chapter 116
Chapter 116 “What do you mean she slipped into a coma?” Theo asks with an unmistakable tremble in his voice. My heart was once again thudding against my ribcage. It felt like it wanted to punch a whole right through my fucking chest. I try to think clearly, but it’s like my brain can’t function. Time slowed down as the doctor spoke. All I heard was a ringing in my ear. I stumble back and fall on the seat I had vacated. Gabe and my dad put their hands on me, but I shake them off. I didn’t want their comfort. I wanted the doctor to tell me that the surgery had been a success and that in a few hours Ava would wake up. “She had a total of four bullets. One hit her head, the second hit her chest, the third hit her stomach, and the final one hit her thigh. We were able to remove three of them successfully, except for the one in her skull. It was lodged too deep and removing it would have killed her.” Fuck. I don’t know what to feel or think about that. He is telling us that Ava will have to live with a bullet stuck in her head.

Not even my worst enemy. “Will she wake up?” I breathe hoarsely. “Will she be able to make a full recovery?” “At this point, we can’t really say. This isn’t an induced coma, and we can’t assure you that she’ll wake up in a few days. She might wake up tomorrow, in a few days, in a few months, or she might not wake up at all. For now, we’ll give it a few days to see whether she’ll wake up.” The possibility that she might not wake up nearly brought me to my knees. 1/4 +15 BONUS I push those thoughts away. I can’t think like that. She’s strong; she’ll wake up. In a few fucking days, she’ll be up, glaring and snapping at me. “What about the bullet in her brain? Will living with it have any effect on her?” Nora asks as tears run down her cheek. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard this must be for her. I can’t ever imagine facing the […]
