The little baby keeps pointing at his father’s coffin, what happens next is stunning
You will pay for everything you’ve done! Matthew growled. Sheriff Anderson turned to Clara, his voice deep and firm. We will conduct a full investigation.
Samuel will be taken to the hospital immediately. Clara nodded, tears still streaming down her face. She turned back to Samuel, feeling his weak breaths against her skin, but there was now a glimmer of light in his eyes.
You’re going to live, Samuel! You’re going to live! Lucy smiled, her tiny hands wrapped around her father’s. Papa, can we go home? Samuel’s lips parted, his voice hoarse but filled with love. Yes, let’s go home! St. Stephen’s Hospital Hospital, three days later.
