“She’s dying.”
Dr. Harrison says it flat. No sugarcoating. Just those two words that make my world stop.
I’m at the observation window watching Mia seize on that table and I can’t… I can’t breathe right. My chest hurts. Everything hurts.
“Alexander’s bond isn’t working,” Dr. Harrison continues. “We need her biological father now.”
Alexander is next to me with his wrist all bandaged up. His bond failed. He tried so hard and it failed anyway.
“I called Nick,” he says quietly. “He’s on his way.”
“He won’t get here in time.” My voice sounds weird. Too high. “Look at her, she’s—”
The monitor flatlines.
That sound. That horrible flat sound.
I’m screaming before I realize I’m screaming. Pounding on the glass with both fists. “MIA! NO, BABY, NO!”
If Mia dies, I would never forgive myself
