Chasing My Ex-wife Back by Symplyayisha (Hailey and Cole)
Chasing My Ex-wife Back by Symplyayisha Chapter 44

Chapter 44 

“Why does your statement scare me so much? Hailey asked, staring at her best friend intently. 

Debbie shrugged. “Because I am speaking the truth and sometimes it is hard to come to terms with the truth. Especially when you are so strong–hearted.” 

“You make me sound like a monster.” 

“No. I just want you to open your heart more and be open to taking more 

risks. 

Hailey shook her head. “I doubt if my heart is capable of loving anything or anyone anymore.” 

“I told you I was going to talk to Cole. That was even before this accident happened. I want him to be in the kids‘ life. But that’s all.” 

Debbie smiled a little. “Well, that’s pretty sufficient. You gotta start from somewhere. Him being in the twins‘ life means he would be spending more time here and you would be seeing him often.” 

“I know the beautiful memories and the feelings are going to crawl back.” 

Hailey shook her head. “Don’t keep your hopes up. I am only doing this because of the kids.” 

“I’m not worried, I promise. I just have a good strong feeling about it in my heart. 

“If you would ask me, you all are the cutest little family I have ever seen.” 

Hailey rolled her eyes. 

“Hey, sometimes try to see the bright side of things okay?” 

“I am just in awe of how responsive Cole has been so far. I know I have pushed him to his limits but he still came through.” 

“I don’t know but I was expecting him to somehow charge me to court for keeping his kids away from him. But he didn’t. That is why I was so reluctant to call him after everything. I had no idea he was going to respond so quickly. 

“That is what a true parent does and I hope you see that you are not making a great mistake by letting him into your kids‘ lives.” 

“For any parent, the children should always come first regardless of whatever fight they’ve got with their partners. You didn’t even have to say too much for Cole to concede. He was more concerned about Enzo’s welfare.” 

“And the way Ollie was all over him.” Debbie smiled. “It melts my heart so much.” 

Hailey sighed. “I’m so worried about Cole and Enzo.” 

Debbie gave her best friend’s hand a light squeeze. ‘I felt calm about the situation before we left the hospital. But I feel much calmer after praying with Ollie. Cole is amazing with what I have witnessed so far. I am sure Enzo will feel safe by his side.” 

“I really hope so.” Hailey whispered, wiping tears from the corner of her eyes. “It just sucks that Enzo has to go through all of these. I mean he is still so young.”

“I know how hard this must be for you as a mother. But there are certain situations that we have no control over. 1 believe this transplant would be the final cure he would need. There would be no more worries after this. I am just so grateful that Cole was able to make it on time.” 

Hailey sniffled, “Me too.” 

“You should get some sleep. We need to be up early, remember?” 

Hailey shook her head. “I don’t know if I would be able to.” 

“You want to take a shower? I’m sure it would help. And I can get you a drink if you want.” 

“I honestly don’t feel like doing anything. I wish it was morning already. So we can be on our way to the hospital.  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“You can go to bed if you want. I will be fine.” 

“No, I would rather stay here with you.” 

“What about tomorrow? You need to be at work.” 

“No. I will call in that I have an emergency. I need to take care of you all.” 

“Thank you.” Hailey started tearing up again. 

“Stop that babe. You don’t need to thank me.” 

“It’s just overwhelming. You are the only one who has always been there for me. I wonder how you never get tired 

of me.” 

“Okay, I’m not a stranger and I’m not your friend. I am your sister and we’re gonna roll till the wheels fall off. Now give me a hug. Debbie moved closer to Hailey and pulled her into a warm, long, and comforting hug. “You are one hell of a strong woman. I admire you every day. This is just a phase, we will go through this.” Debbie whispered in 

her ear. 

Because her mind kept going to her Son and Cole, Hailey only had two hours of sleep. She was up by 6. She cleaned up and headed over to the kitchen to make breakfast. 

Debbie woke up in the process and went over to clean up. Once she was done, she woke Oliver and helped him get ready. 

“Aunt Debbie, we are going to see Daddy and Enzo right?” He asked Debbie who was still squatting before him. She just finished helping him put his shoes on.” 

She smiled seeing the excitement in his eyes. She leaned closer to him and caressed his cheek. “Yes, baby.” 

“You are happy about it. Aren’t you?” 

The little boy nodded. “I like Daddy, I’m happy that he is here again. And I cannot wait to see Enzo. 

“That’s cool. Let’s go have some food and we will be on our way to the hospital.” Ollie nodded, instantly holding onto Debbie’s hand.

They got to the kitchen and Oliver ran off to Hailey 

Mommy!” 

Hailey picked him up in her arms and kissed him. “How are you, my love? Did you sleep well?” 

The little boy nodded. 

“When are we leaving, mommy?” 

Hailey knew her son was referring to the hospital so she answered him. “Yes baby, we will leave once we are done. eating.” 

Hailey placed Oliver on the chair and went ahead to serve him some food. 

“Do you think this is okay? I am used to only caring for kids and I don’t know what it’s like to care for an old man.” Hailey said, referring to everything that she put in the food basket. 

A small smile crept to Debbie’s lips. “Okay, who did the cooking when you guys lived together?” 

Hailey shrugged. “We had a maid who took care of that. At some point, she was doing no cooking because Cole wasn’t home most of the time and I was okay with making my own meals.” 

“I have no idea if I am doing the right thing taking food over there. I mean they might be discharged immediately and what if they are not?” 

“I’m probably overreacting right?” 

Debbie smiled. “You are nervous and I think it is normal. Cole is in your life now so you need to adjust to your new reality.” 

Debbie took a glance at the food basket. It contained bread, bacon, eggs, fruits, orange juice, cereal, milk, and 

snacks. 

“I know Cole loves coffee so much. I don’t know if he would be able to have them.” 

“You care about him, don’t you?” 

“Please don’t put me in a tight spot to answer this question. I couldn’t hardly sleep last night after hearing that little monster’s prayer request.” She whispered, taking a glance at Ollie who had his attention on the food he was eating. 

Debbie chuckled. “Are you still worried about that?” 

“No” Hailey shook her head. “Not really?” 

“I mean, a baby would only come if two people ever……you know what I mean Debbie, and please can you stop smiling?” 

“As long as the baby won’t miraculously appear in my belly, I think everything is under control. All I need to do is not to spend time with him so I won’t get carried away.” 

“Cole is an adult and should be responsible for himself but with all that has happened, I need to show concern. Either way, I don’t want him to feel as though I am being extra nice because he is saving our son.”

“Get rid of those thoughts, babe. I’m sure Cole doesn’t see you like that. And it is not a bad thing to genuinely care about him. I think he is sensible enough to discern when something is genuine and when something is fake.” 

“I just need you to promise me something.” Debbie pleaded. 

Hailey sighed. “What now?” 

“I want you to be kind and follow your heart. 

Hailey frowned, “I’m not evil. 

I know you are not. But you know what I mean.”
