On the drive to the hospital, Ethan sped recklessly.
He was frantic to see Chloe.
While waiting outside her operating room, he paced back and forth, consumed by anxiety.
I never got to see him act like this when I was in the delivery room.
Was this his way of fulfilling my final wish?
As the minutes ticked by, Ethan's expression grew increasingly tense.
Finally, the operating room doors swung open.
A still-unconscious Chloe was wheeled out.
She was perfectly fine.
The tight knot between Ethan's brows instantly smoothed out.
He let out a massive sigh of relief, a radiant smile breaking across his face as his eyes welled up with tears.
Tears of pure joy.
I couldn't help but wonder.
If my baby and I had survived the surgery, would he have cried for us too?
Of course he would have.
Even if not for me, then for his child.
