Time was running out. With no other option, I begged Daniel to tell me Ethan's location. "Please, my son really needs it! Please! Just... Just tell me where my husband is if you can't bring the apparatus yourself." Sensing my desperation, Daniel hesitated but finally gave in. He directed me to a nearby pet hospital.
Right then and there, I ran, my mind racing. Through the glass door, I saw Ethan, sitting on a sofa and cradling Bella, his childhood sweetheart. His face, so full of love and tenderness for her, twisted into cold indifference the moment he saw me.
"Lila, are you serious? You followed me here?" He stood up, glaring at me as if my presence alone was an affront.
But I didn't care about anything else, so I didn’t waste a second. "Gavin is having a severe asthma attack. His condition is critical, and only the apparatus can save him! So, please... We need to get it from the lab and bring it to the hospital now."
I reached out to him, but he recoiled in disgust. Meanwhile, Bella, still in his arms, glanced at me with disdain. "Lila, I know you don't like me, but there's no need to talk ill about your son just to trick Ethan away from me!"
Talk ill about Gavin?
