Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 871

Gavin’s POV

The moment we stopped in front of Megan Churchill’s hospital room, something in my chest tightened.

I no longer believed in coincidences.

23 years in a coma. Kept alive by machines; hidden, protected, and imprisoned all at once. And now my mate—pregnant, powerful, and already carrying too much on her shoulders—was standing beside me, about to face another piece of a past that never should’ve touched her.

I tightened my grip on Judy’s hand without even realizing I’d done it.

I could feel her anxiety and her worries; I just wanted to take it away from her. If I could protect her from those feelings, I would in a heartbeat. She stared up at the door; her eyes filled with worry, and her bottom lip stuck between her teeth.

“You don’t have to go in yet,” I told her quietly. “We can go somewhere else for a bit so you can clear your mind.”

She looked over at me, and for a moment, I saw the vulnerability making her waver. She searched my eyes with her own, and then something else flashed through them. It was raw determination, very much the Judy I knew so well and loved with every beat of my heart.

“We should do this now,” she said, her eyes never leaving mine. “I need to get this over with.”

“You should be warned,” Eliza said, staring between the two of us; for a moment, I had forgotten she was here. “She’s been in a coma for so long, and this is the lower end of the hospital. Patients are often forgotten here… it means she wasn’t taken care of well. There’s no telling what we will be walking in on.”

I nodded and pulled Judy a little closer to me.

“I’m ready,” she said, taking a deep breath.

Eliza nodded and pushed open the hospital room door. We stepped inside; I kept my hand on Judy’s lower back as we walked forward.

The room was dim, lit mainly by the glow of monitors and machines. The steady beep of a heart monitor filled the space, slow and consistent. The air smelled clean, sterile, but underneath it was something else. Something old. Like time itself settled in the corners.

Megan Churchill lay in the bed, pale and still. She looked younger than she should’ve.

Her blonde hair had some silver streaks, but her face… her face looked preserved, almost untouched by age. Like time had stopped the moment her body shut down. Tubes ran from her arms. A ventilator moved her chest in a low mechanical rhythm.

Judy’s body trembled slightly beside me, and I found myself stepping even closer to her, closing the small gap that lay between us.

She bravely took a step forward, and I went with her; she moved as if she were afraid the room might reject her. She stared at Megan’s face, her breath catching.

“She looks…” Judy whispered.
