All too late for his love

Chapter 3

As Aaron fell, the paper in his hand fluttered beside Willow’s feet like a withered leat. She could see the three people depicted in the paper. There was Aaron, Willow, and… Zaynı..

Aaron had always wanted a dad. He had only denied it because he was scared that she would be upset. He had even written a few crude words eamestly next Zayn’s drawing.

‘My greatest hero“,

Willow’s tears fell silently. In Aaron’s heart, Zayn was his hero. But to Zayn, Aaron was a bastand that be looked down upon the most.

Once again, Willow’s heart was engulfed in throbbing pain. She held Aaron closely in her arms as tears streamed down her face.

“I’m sorry, Aaron. I’m so sorry!” she wept

Willow dared not allow the slightest delay. Holding Aaron tightly, she drove to the hospital in the old van for a blood transfusion.

Aaron had severe thalassemia major. Even if he were to undergo surgery this time, the doctor had warned that he still wouldn’t make it past age five. But without the surgery, he wouldn’t even make it past this winter.

Aaron was only three and a half years old. He was such an obedient and mature child. Willow couldn’t accept the fact that his precious life would end in this desolate winter.
