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.

Yelena, feeling worried, quickly poured him some water.

His pale, sickly face turned a little red from coughing, tugging at her heart.

‘If only he was an angel from heaven,‘ Yelena thought. She just couldn’t understand why someone so kind had to be sick all the time.

Yelena could see that all his focus was on the screen, not paying attention to anything else around him. A flicker of disappointment crossed her face, but she stepped back and gently closed the office door behind her.

Nathan looked at the person on the screen longingly, his pale fingers softly tracing her bright eyes and happy, confident smile.

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