Chapter 10 - The Daughter He Almost Lost

Weeks passed.
My daughter remained inside the NICU.
Every gram she gained felt like a miracle.
Alex came every day.
He sat outside the glass.
Sometimes for hours.
The nurses told me he cried whenever no one was looking.
I never walked over.
One afternoon...
Our daughter wrapped her tiny fingers around mine.
The monitor steadied.
She had survived another night.
I whispered.
"You chose to stay."
May you like
Unlike your father.
