บททั้งหมดของ When My Husband Regretted : บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

_____________________...I had settled Ki down on her bassinet before walking over to sit on the chair beside her. "Any day man." Ashton grinned at me. "Any time. She could wake up right this moment for all we know." I nodded. My hopes were high. I was going to keep staring at her on the lookout for the slightest flutter. My girls had spent too much time apart already. It was time for them to be introduced to each other. Just this morning, I had told Gabby that Ki was a Dadda's girl. But I did not believe that. Her mother was someone who was filled with so much love and care that once Ki spent more time with Rory, she was going to be more inclined to her mother. And I had no problem with that situation. All that mattered to me was that both my girls were happy and well. I sighed. "I am scared of what is waiting for her when she wakes up." The pain was inevitable. She would have to go through it. I was just worried that my wife would not be able to handle it.When she wakes up

_________________...A slap resonated in the hospital hallway. I rubbed my cheek as I looked up at Katherine who looked ready to kill me."Why did you not tell her the truth?" She asked, grabbing me by the collar. "Why did you tell her you were divorced?""Because he has common sense, that's why." Gabby came to my rescue, putting herself in between her mother and me as she glared down at her shorter mother. "You live in your world so you may not realize this, but your elder daughter has one fucked up life. And if the Rory from four years ago learns of how fucked up her life is, she might just fall back into a coma.""Shut your mouth and don't say such inauspicious things about your own sister!" Katherine cried, shaking Gabby by the shoulders. Gabby shrugged her hands off her shoulders, not giving a damn about the indignant look that her mother threw her way. "I am being realistic here. The doctor said she has traumatic amnesia. Traumatic. As in she has gone through a lot of trauma

__________________..."What the actual fuck!" Ashton stared at the message on my phone. "Is this some sort of sick joke?""I don't think it is." I sighed. "But who would do this? And why?""Someone who is interested in you, of course." Eric pointed out."Or in her," Ashton said."Not in her." Gabby was quick to point out. "If they were interested in Rory, then they would not have tried to kill her. Unless it's some sick bastard who thought that if they can't have her then nobody can. But the probability is really low.""Smart-ass!" Ashton winked at Gabby who smiled in return. I turned in time to see the look on Eric's face - a look that said he was about to cut off Ashton's balls."So shouldn't we go to the police with this?" Gabby asked, turning to me as opened a can of beer. This girl really needed to stop drinking."We should.""They will probably call it a prank," Eric said. "It was a DUI case and the driver is in prison. I don't think they will be interested in digging deeper.

_______________...I suspected hearing crickets after Eric's proclamation."Why?" Was what came out of Gabby's lips after a good two minutes."You know why.""Nice," Rowan whispered, and I gave him a pointed look.He mouthed a sorry and turned back to the couple in question."Please tell me this is a joke." Gabby tilted her head, a nervous frown on her face."I could, but that will not change the truth." Eric mirrored her.Why was I so unaware of this spark between the two of them? The chemistry was all over the place. Was I truly so caught up in myself that I did not see any of this?Gabby turned to me, the expression such as if I was the cause of all this problem. "Rory, ask your stupid friend to fuck off. He is not welcome here as long as I am staying with you guys." "That sounds like a you problem." Eric seemed like he was in the mood of adding fuel to the fire. What was wrong with him?The guy had sworn off love after his last messiest breakup of all time. Maybe things had c

_________________...Ki turned two months old today. And of course, Gabby had to go and buy a huge ass cake. "She can't even eat it, you dumbass." I smacked her head as she gleamed up at it. "Her aunt will eat for her." Gabby clapped like a toddler. "Sure she will..." I rolled my eyes. "Oh my." Rory walked in with baby Ki in her arms, looking pretty in a yellow sun dress. "What's going on?""We are celebrating Ki's months and years from now on with the exact same cake that woke her mother up from a coma," Gabby announced. "Until she is old enough to tell us what kind of cake she wants." She added. I nodded. I could agree with that. "She can't eat cake or any solid food for another four months, you idiot." Rory handed Ki over to my waiting arms. "That's what I said," I told her. "I don't care. Cake is cake. Everyone should get a cake for the smallest of smallest occasions." "Are you endorsing cakes now?" Eric appeared. "Who gave him the pin to the apartment?" Gabby turned
