Chapter 71

Hazel sat beside Daisy, gently running her fingers through her daughter’s hair. The room was hushed, filled only with the soft hum of medical equipment. Daisy’s eyes fluttered open, and in a feeble voice, she called out, “Mr. Princess?”

Hazel’s heart sank at the innocence in her daughter’s voice. She whispered soothingly, ‘Hey, sweetheart. Mr. Princess isn’t here right now.” The vulnerability in Daisy’s eyes tugged at Hazel’s emotions, and she couldn’t help but stroke her daughter’s cheek with a gentle touch. As Daisy tried to sit up, Hazel couldn’t ignore the weariness in her movements. It was a stark reminder of the battles Daisy was facing.

Hazel felt bad wishing she could take all of the pain instead.

Noticing the new toy, the pigeon, in Daisy’s grasp, Hazel’s curiosity mingled with a touch of suspicion. She hadn’t seen this toy before, and its sudden appearance puzzled her. Hazel’s motherly instincts went on alert. She gently inquired, “Sweetie, where did you get that pigeon?”

Daisy still looking frail, managed a faint smile. Hazel’s concern deepened, and her thoughts. turned to Ethan. Had he visited while she was away?

He couldn’t have; he was at the company today. She tried to shake it off.

Just then her phone ringing cut through the quietness of the room.

She moved to pick it.

“Hello.” She said into the phone, she recognized the caller id as Tiny tots contact.

Her heart raced as she listened to the unsettling noises at the other end of the phone. The sound of ambulance and people talking loudly.

“Hello,” Hazel called once more, loudly this time, her voice already laced with concern.

“Ma’am, your child had to be taken to the hospital,” the staff from Tiny Tots informed her. “Yes, I know. Daisy’s hospitalized; that’s why she hasn’t been in school,” Hazel responded, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of her daughter’s well–being.

“No, ma’am, not Daisy. It’s Liam. He’s been rushed to the hospital right now,” the voice. explained, injecting a new layer of urgency into the conversation.

Hazel’s world seemed to spin. “Wait, what?! How?! What happened?!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of fear and desperation.

Tim so sorry, ma’am, the voice apologized, but the words offered little comfort. Panic surged through Hazel as her thoughts raced,

The news had Hazel’s mind racing. He was fine this morning; why was Liam suddenly being nhed to the hospital?

“What hospital?” she asked anxiously, a knot tightening in her stomach.

Cleveland. We’re headed for Cleveland right now, the voice on the phone replied.

Hazela heart pounded in her chest as she rushed out, leaving Daisy momentarily. The urgency in her movements betrayed the fear that gripped her.
