Chapter 2: The Daughter I Couldn’t Save
The next night, Emily’s world collapsed.
Lily’s fever returned.
Her tiny body shook in her arms.
The little girl could barely open her eyes.
“Mommy… I’m cold.”
Emily had no money.
No babysitter.
No family nearby.
If she missed another shift, she would lose her job.
If she lost her job, she would lose their apartment.
So she made a desperate choice.
She brought Lily to work.
She hid her in Roman Vale’s hospital room.
Just for one night.
Just until morning.

Roman Vale.
The monster everyone feared.
The stranger who was somehow the safest person she knew.
