Chapter 106:
Davin slammed his foot on the gas, racing through the city with purpose. Before the car fully rolled to a stop at Kretol City Hospital, Amelia had already thrown open the door, hurrying out with Wyatt right behind her.
They had just reached the surgery wing when the operating room doors swung open and Michelle was wheeled out. Marc met them with steady eyes and reassuring words. “Mrs. Davis is stable now p>
Relief swept through Amelia, loosening the fear that had gripped her chest. She rushed to her grandmother’s side, holding her hand with trembling fingers.
Back in the hospital room, Amelia felt her emotions settle. Still, she couldn’t leave her grandmother’s side until she woke up, insisting Wyatt return home to rest. But he refused to leave. He believed that after his marriage to Amelia, as her husband, he should stay with her through anything.
Two long hours crept by before Michelle’s lashes fluttered and her eyes finally opened. Amelia’s hand never left her grandmother’s, and the moment she felt movement, her face lit up. “Grandma, you’re awake p>
Confusion flickered across Michelle’s face at first, but her memory returned fast. As the news she’d seen came rushing back to mind, anger flushed her cheeks. “So the Morrison family has broken off the engagement? Did Jaxton mistreat you? Tell me the truth p>
Her words tumbled out, her voice quivering with outrage. Quickly, Amelia tried to calm her. “Please, Grandma, don’t get upset. Let me explain everything p>
Only after repeated reassurance did Michelle’s breathing slow. Amelia gently shared the full story behind the split. “It was my decision, Grandma. I was the one who wanted to end things with Jaxton. I should have told you earlier, and I’m so sorry you had to hear it that way. I never meant for this to happen p>
Michelle barely absorbed Amelia’s explanation, only catching the part that mattered most. “You mean to say it was your choice to end things?” Amelia’s small nod brought a flicker of complex emotion to Michelle’s gaze.

Had the Morrison family wronged her granddaughter, she would have been ready to confront them. But if this was Amelia’s decision, the situation demanded a different response.
Once her breathing settled, Michelle’s attention drifted toward the sofa. At first, she mistook the man sitting there for Monroe, but a closer look startled her. Seeing Wyatt’s striking face, she was shocked. “It’s you p>
Wyatt offered a gentle greeting. “It’s been a long time, Michelle p>
Amelia was momentarily thrown by his words. Her mind raced to make sense of them. Had Wyatt and her grandmother met before? Confusion clouded Amelia’s eyes as she glanced from Wyatt to her grandmother.
Michelle asked Wyatt, “Why are you here p>
Wyatt spoke with quiet confidence. “Since Amelia and I are husband and wife now, it’s only right I accompany her here p>
For a second, Michelle lay in shock, speechless on her hospital bed. Worried the surprise might be too much, Amelia watched her anxiously, bracing for another fainting spell.
