Nathan’s fingers clenched around the iPad, his eyes fixed on the screen. The cough kept coming, and a bitter taste rose in his mouth. His grip on the iPad got tighter. With slow, heavy steps, he moved to the office chair and sat down.

“It looks like even when I’m not there, my little girl is still taking good care of herself,” he whispered.
