Lincoln felt like he'd been struck by lightning. He couldn't believe his ears as he stared at Morris. "You're Kelly's son? Really Kelly's son?" he stammered in disbelief.

Morris nodded. "Yes, Uncle."

Tears streamed down Lincoln's face as he sank onto the couch, overwhelmed.

Nathalie quickly stepped in, covering Morris's eyes with her hand. "Dad, Nathan's eyes were injured; he can't handle bright light."

Her protective gesture warmed Morris's heart, but it nearly gave Lincoln a heart attack.
