The Conflict Erupts

Ethan paused after hearing the news, a barely perceptible sigh escaping his lips. His heart was heavy. How had things escalated to this point?

 

"I understand. I'll do my best to keep Ava steady, but please, don't let me down again."

 

Nathan, already under immense pressure, had initially hoped that Ethan could take the child away. Ava's current mental state was unstable, and caring for the child was a demanding task. Yet, Nathan couldn't bear to take the child away from Ava, not after having already let her down once. Especially now, during such a difficult time. After a moment's thought, Nathan swallowed his words.

 

"Thank you."

 

After hanging up the phone, Ethan's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Regardless of Nathan's requests, Ethan was willing to do anything for Ava. Resolute, he decided to move his office home to keep an eye on Ava. It might be inconvenient, but for Ava, it was worth it.
