Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 243

For Mila, Nathaniel had always been treated like a stranger. The emotional scars from past humiliations were neither forgiven nor forgotten, and she had no desire to engage with him.

But adults are one thing, and children are another.

Mila never imagined that Julian's psychological issues would become so severe.

Sleepwalking at night? That was unexpected.

Although she hadn't spent much time with the child, he had made a place in her heart. Hearing about his troubles pained her, yet she felt unable to offer help.

Hesitating, she finally spoke up, "I’m planning to go abroad soon. If Julian gets too attached to me, it might be hard for him when I leave..."

"No problem."

Sensing her willingness, Nathaniel quickly interjected, "If you're open to it, Julian can come with you. The Pembroke Group has projects overseas, and I'll be relocating there soon. I can catch up quickly."

Fearing it might inconvenience Mila, he added, "Don't worry, it won’t be for long. Julian's mother is set to be released in June, and she'll take him then."

With this assurance, she could consider helping.

"I need to discuss it with a friend. Don't get your hopes up, but I'll get back to you later."

"Of course, and I’ll be sure to show my gratitude afterward!"

After hanging up the phone, Mila sat on the wooden chair, lost in thought for a while, finally feeling a bit relieved now that the lingering matters were addressed.

There were many unexpected developments.

Her main concern now was Lysander’s situation; she had to save him. Without him, there would be no future plans to speak of.

She really didn’t want to end up in jail.

With so many worries on her mind, she found it impossible to focus on her design sketches. Instead, she picked up her digital tablet and started to draw.

Seeking a moment of peace.

......

At noon, at the hospital.

Archie sauntered in with an air of casual arrogance, once again coming to visit his cousin.
