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.
