The only thing that mattered now was transferring Cody and getting a proper diagnosis and treatment.
The Lucas | saw in front ofwasn't the sman who used to splash around barefoot in the tiny apartment
with our son.
| pushed the office door open hard and headed straight back to the ICU.
As | dialed a familiar number on my phone, my hand shook slightly.

"Why make him go through that kind of agony when you could let him pass peacefully?"
| glared at this man, who had once been my husband.
Al his self-righteous words were just a cover for his carefully planned cruelty.
As we stood there, a figure crunning up, grabbing Lucas.
