Rowan.

It’s been three months. Three F***ing months since Ava was shot, and she’s yet to wake

up. With each month that goes by, everyone is slowly losing hope that she’ll ever wake up.

It’s frustrating as hell, but there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s now beyond anyone’s

power.

She was taken off the machine a month after her accident. She didn’t need them to

breathe since her

lungs were doing just fine. They even transferred her to a normal room. We all thought

she’d come out of the coma then, but it never happened. Two months down the line, and

we are still waiting.

“Should I wait for you, Mr. Wood?” my driver asks just before I get out of the car.

“It’s not necessary. I’ll call you when I’m done.”

I get out of the car and walk into the hospital. The staff greets me because I have been a

regular visitor

for the past few months.

I just nod my head. I feel the tiredness down to my bones. I haven’t had a moment of

peace since that day. Sleep flees from me every single night, and I’m left either staring at

the ceiling all night or working.

Due to the circumstances, Noah is back to living with me. He’s here every day after

school. Visiting his mother and sister. I see the toll everything is taking on him, but I know

it’ll only be better when Ava and Iris leave the hospital.

I head first to see Iris before seeing Ava. That little girl has won my heart these past few

months. Her resilience and strength to overcome what was thrown at her remind me of

her mother.

“You’re here, Rowan, let me just get our little princess ready,” Mary says as she busies

herself.

Iris was taken out of the incubator a week ago. The doctors said that she was now healthy

and out of danger. Since she had reached the nine–month milestone, there was no need

for her to remain there.

Minutes later, Mary is handing Iris over to me.

“Hey princess, How are you doing today?” I ask her with a smile.

I hold her tiny form in my chest and rock her back and forth. She doesn’t cry; she just

stares at me in fascination. She looked like Ava, but her blue eyes were Ethan’s. She’s

definitely going to be a knockout

I run my finger down her cheek, and she grips it in a tight hold. I smile at that. She’s

become the highlight of my day, a part from Noah. She may not be my biological

daughter, but in my heart, she was. Nothing can change that.

“It’s now time for her bath,” Mary informs me.

Tlook up at the ticking clock only to realize almost forty minutes have gone by. Iris is

precious. While with her, you easily forget everything else going on around you.

I let Mary take her away from me. This is usually the hardest F***ing part. Letting her go.

“I say as I stand.

“I’ll come to say goodbye to her once I’m done visiting Ava,” I say

She nods her head and turns to leave. I watch them, feeling the heaviness in my heart get

worse with

each step she takes away from me.

I was just about to leave when the pediatrician stopped me.

“Do you have a minute, Rowan? I want to talk to you,” she asks in a gentle and kind voice.

She’s around my mother’s age, and she just has this aura that immediately calms you

down when you’re

around.

“Sure, about what?”

“It’s about Iris. As you know, she reached nine months a week ago, and since she’s

healthy and no longer in any danger, we’ll have to release her from the hospital.”
