Story

The story

When five-year-old Simon Lloyd wakes from heart valve repair surgery, he asks for his mother. His father, Eric Lloyd, a stay-at-home dad, searches for his wife, Selena Aston, but she is nowhere in the hospital. Instead, he finds a photo posted by her colleague Joe Carter, showing Selena in matching outfits with Joe's daughter, Katy Carter, at a winter sports day, looking like a happy family of three.

Simon's condition worsens with acute postoperative arrhythmia, and Eric desperately calls Selena, but she refuses to leave Katy's event, insisting Simon has him and that he is too sensitive. She blocks his messages. When Selena finally visits the hospital days later, she brings Joe and Katy, and her calm indifference cuts deeper than any blade.

As Simon endures pain and complications, Eric must confront the growing distance between his wife and their son, and the painful truth that the love Simon needs may already belong to someone else.

Opening excerpt

"Daddy, I want to see Mommy," my son, Simon Lloyd, murmurs after he regains consciousness on the hospital bed.

I freeze for a moment and instinctively look toward the hospital room door. No one is there.

Yesterday, after Simon came out of the operating room, my wife, Selena Aston, held his hand and said, "Don't worry. I'll be right outside waiting for you. I'm not going anywhere."

Why is she nowhere in sight?
