Alex's POV:
Emily smiled at me before retracting her phone. "I need to make a call." She left, and I signaled for the nurse to continue feeding Olivia while I followed Emily outside.
"About what I said inside, I only said it to reassure Olivia. I didn't mean any disrespect," I said sincerely.
"Of course, I understand," she replied before sighing heavily.
"I know I owe you an apology, so..."
"No, you don't owe me any apology," I chimed in.
"I do; I left all of a sudden without saying goodbye. Even when I heard of your mom's accident, I didn't show up."
"It's in the past; I have lived happily."
"I didn't say otherwise," Emily said before swiping through her phone, and then she showed me a picture.
"It's true, I wanted to leave for my career, but you made me change my mind, and then my parents got divorced," she explained, but my eyes were stuck on the photo she showed me.
