CHAPTER 6 — The Court of Consequences

CHAPTER 6 — The Court of Consequences

Months later, Noah recovered.

Not completely.

But enough.

He walked again.

He laughed again.

He went back to school.

Claire filed for divorce.

Daniel fought it.

Not because he wanted the marriage.

Because he feared losing his son.

During the custody hearing, the hospital records were presented.

The timeline.

The decisions.

The delay.

The doctor’s testimony.

The courtroom became silent.

A pause.

“But you were responsible for the choice you made afterward.”

Daniel lowered his head.

For the first time, he had no excuse.
