Chapter 128
Ex-Husband's Regret
Ava.
I didnât sleep at all. My mind was all over the place. Everything still seems to be so unreal. Iâve heard about amnesia. I know about amnesia. I just never thought I would be one of the people suffering from it.
It feels so weird that there is this huge gap in my memory. I remember nothing after I woke up. Nothing of the people who claim to be my parents. Nothing of the people who claim to be my friends. I remember nothing of Iris or the man who got me pregnant.
Also, why would I sleep with another man? And why did it seem like Rowan had no problem with it?
Scratch that; he isnât mad because he doesnât care. But why are we still married if I slept with someone.
else and even got pregnant? And where the hell is my wedding ring?
I feel like I have missed out a lot. In my memory, Noah is five. Yet the reality is that heâs way past that. It feels like Iâve missed him growing up. He shared all these memories he has with me, but they donât ring a bell to me at all.
Looking out the window, I continue to brush my hair mindlessly. It was now evening, and I was waiting for Rowan and Noah to come and pick me and Iris up.
Thatâs the other thing that concerns me. Rowan is so different from how I know him. Heâs behaving so differently that I keep wondering if I woke up in a different universe, because damn it, itâs like an alien has taken over his body or something.
The hugs. The kisses. The holding my hand all the freaking time. It is just something that Iâm not used to.
The last we time we talked, he told me that he hated me and that he would never forgive me.
Could something have changed in the course of time?
I finish up, just as Mary walks into the door with Iris in her arms.
âAre you ready to try again with Iris?â Mary asks as she puts my daughter in my arms.
Yesterday, we tried getting Iris to latch on, but it was difficult. Itâs like she was so used to the bottle that she found the idea of my breast foreign. To be honest, I am just glad that I had milk, I didnât mind trying until she got used to me.
Yes, please Releasing my boob, I try to get her to latch. I sigh in relief when she finally does and begins to suck.
kat her. She looks like look Week It feels so nice to have her feed from me. I know that Iâve only known her for a day, but I already feel my bond with her. The same bond I have with Noah. My mind may not remember when I carried her in my womb, but my heart knows sheâs mine.
âAre you excited about going home?â she asks as she packs Irisâs stuff.
Yesterday she filled me on everything concerning Iris. I am so grateful that she survived despite being a premature baby. So glad that they took good care of her.
âI am.â I chuckle a little. âLike I said, Iâm dying to sleep on my bed. Itâs way more comfortableâ
She laughs, but otherwise remains quiet. When she finishes, she excuses herself. Iris had fallen asleep, but I continue holding her. Itâs insane how much I donât want to be separated from her or Noah.
I almost died according to everyone. Actually, I fucking died because my heart stopped twice for a few seconds. Itâs sad to know that I would have been separated from my kids.
I push those thoughts away just as Rowan and Noah walk into my room.
âHi momâ Noah comes straight to me and gives me a hug.
âHey, my loveâ I kiss his cheeks, feeling happy and joyous.
Rowan waits until we are done before he approaches me.
