Laura's hospitalization had a sobering effect on everyone connected to her. For Noah, the news hit like a freight train. Seeing his ex-wife lying unconscious in the hospital, bandaged and vulnerable, was a brutal reminder of his past mistakes.
He had once vowed to protect her, and now he had failed. Guilt gnawed at him. He wasn’t the only one haunted by guilt, however.
