I stare at the doctor as if I’m a damn idiot who can’t comprehend what he just said. In my defense, his words didn’t register wholly with me. He was asking me to choose between Ava and her baby. Does he know how difficult that is? “Mr. Woods, time is of the essence. We need to know your decision,”
Chapter 115 I stand rooted in my spot as the words keep ringing in my ears. A baby girl. Ava has a baby girl. She has a little daughter. Noah is going to be so fucking happy. He has been praying that he gets a sister, and his prayer has been answered. “Can I see her?” “I know you’re eager to se
“Dad, where is mom? I asked Cal why he was picking me up instead of mom, but he said, You’ll explain everything,” he says, a mask of concern firmly on his face. Damn this was hard. I had time to come up with a way of delivering the news, but words fail me. “Is she having the baby? Is that why we a

Chapter 118 I feel as my anger starts rising to the surface. I know what Brian said, but I still haven’t ruled out Reaper from my list of suspects. I mean, come the fuck on, he had Ava kidnapped. You just don’t do that unless you have an ulterior motive. Plus, what Brian says just doesn’t make sen
“From your tone of voice, it seems you’ve been around my daughter” “I can’t say around…we’ve been communicating.” He begins. He then tells us everything. His plan when he kidnapped Ava and how he went to her afterwards and asked her if he could be in the baby’s life. Ava, bless her kind soul which
