Baby Cupid: Could You Be My New Mommy (or Miss, My Father loves you)

Chapter 16 It Hurts

The driver drove to the hospital at a fast but steady pace.

Benjamin was crouching in his father's arms as tears streamed from his pained eyes. "Mommy, it hurts..."

It wasn't the first time that he got sick, but it was the first time that he had a mother to share his pain. Now that Daryl was by his side, he wanted to ask for a motherly comfort, just like the other kids his age.

Daryl felt like a cry baby for tearing up easily. She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled at the child. "I'm sorry about that."
