Chapter 37: The Weight of Silence

I stood in the hospital corridor, my fingers trembling as I typed the message to Elena. The photo showed

Marcus sitting beside Oliver’s bed, his hand gently stroking the child’s hair.

Panic shot through me. He couldn’t leave now. Not when I had worked so hard to keep him away from Elena.
