“Lukel my brave boy. I’m here for you. Don’t be scared. Mommy’s going to make sure nothing bad happens to you,” I said to Lukel in a soft, yet worried tone.

“Are you sure about that?” I asked, as Lukel kept on crying, still in Andre’s arms.

The doctor moved closer to him. “Don’t cry now, little one. It’s all going to be okay.”
