My Ex-Husband is Out of Control Novel by Glory Writes

Elijah’s POV

I arrived at the hospital that Kayla had told me about, my heart pounding in my chest. On the way, I had been so worried that I had almost run a red light and crashed my car. But now, as I rushed through the hospital doors, the only thought going through my head was that Sophia really didn’t want our baby.

I hurried through the hallway of the maternity ward, passing by many pregnant mothers, each with a smile on their face. It only served to deepen the ache in my chest, knowing that Sophia was here too, but her situation was so different and she was feeling the opposite.

Am I the one who drove her to do this?! How could she not want our baby?!

As I arrived outside Sophia’s room, I saw Daniel sitting there, looking at me forlornly. His expression was one of resignation, as if he had been expecting me.

“I need to see her,” I quickly said, rushing forward.

But Daniel stood up at once and positioned himself between me and the door. “You can’t. She specifically told me not to let you go in there.”

“But…” I began angrily.

“She said no, Elijah. You have to respect that.”

I found myself feeling torn. But I could tell he was telling the truth. It hurt badly, but he was right.

There was a large glass area on the door, and through it, I could see Sophia lying on the bed, looking really sick. There were tubes inserted in her nostrils, and she was connected to an oxygen machine.

“She’s feeling weak and needs to recover,” Daniel explained to me. “I think we should just let her rest for now.”

“How bad is it?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

“The doctor said it’s taking a toll on her body,” Daniel responded, glancing through

the window at Sophia. “She’s in bad condition at the moment. She has suffered a lot since she got pregnant, but now it’s almost over. She’ll get through this, but you shouldn’t disturb her.”

That’s when I heard a knock on my door. When opened it Serena came in with a huge smile, chattering about the meeting shed attended with my cos partners.

She stopped talking. “Tomorrow? Why se sudden? What’s the mush?”

I tried to compose myself, to push down “It’s just time to get back home.”

threatening to overwhelm me

Serena could see that I was not in the best of moods and didn’t press further. “Is there anything I can do to help?” she offered looking concerned.

I shook my head, then started opening my luggage. “Just pack your bags and I’ll see you in the morning.”

I couldn’t sleep well that night. When the su rose, I stood up groggily and took a shower. My mind was swimming with thoughts of Sophia, and It took all of my self control not to run over to the hospital and try to talk to her again.

When I got down to the lobby, Serena was already there. To my surprise, she was standing together with Chris and Trevis

“Hey, man, are you going to be okay?” Chris asked, looking uncertain.

“Of course. All my business here has been taken care of. It’s time to go home.”

Chris nodded in understanding. “I’m staying for a while. If I hear or find out anything new about Sabrina, I’ll let you know.”

“Okay, thanks,”

Trevis stepped forward and shook my hand “See you when I see you, brother. But remember, I’m always here. I’m just a call away, alright?”

“Yeah, thank you.”

Serena smiled at them. “Thanks so much, guys. Perhaps we’ll see you again back home, Chris, And Trevis? Let us know when you’re coming to visit.”

They both smiled and nodded, and we said our goodbyes.

At the airport, Serena and I were walking when I saw someone familiar from afar. Kayla’s here! I thought in alarm. She must have just arrived in Paris!

She looked hurried and preoccupied, and also quite stressed. Her expression was filled with worry, and it seemed like she hadn’t had much sleep yet.

Before I could call out to her, Kayla hurried past us, not even noticing our presence. I watched her go, knowing that she was going to be by Sophia’s side, offering her support and comfort.

At least Sophia won’t be alone. Daniel and Kayla will be there with her. And soon I’ll be miles away, granting her the freedom that she wanted.
