Who could be knocking at this time?
Confused and on high alert, I didnât open the door until I had a weapon on meâjust in case.
To my surprise, it was Melany.
She wasnât wearing her doctorâs gown.
Embarrassed, she Looked at me and confessed, âDebra, Elena has been asking for you.
I had no choice but to bring her here.
â
Only then did I notice the cute little girl in a pink dress hiding behind Melany.
Previously, I had admitted to Melany that Caleb was Elenaâs father
So she said to me, âDebra, maybe itâs time for Elena to meet her biological father.
After all, Calebâs life is in danger nowâ¦â
Speaking of this, her voice trailed off.
Perhaps she realized that voicing her thoughts would be ominous, so she immediately changed the subject.
âAlthough Calebâs unconscious, he may be able to hear the voice of his family.
Maybe itâll help him if Elena talks to him.
â
Biting my lip, I hesitated for a while and then agreed.
âOkay, come inside and meet your father, sweetheart,â I said to Elena softly.
Elena had always wanted to meet her father.
If Caleb couldnât survive the injection, Elena might grow up regretting never meeting him.
Elenaâs eyes lit up at the mention of meeting her father.
She looked very happy and immediately skipped over to my side.

âMommy, am I really going to see Daddy?â
She blinked her round eyes, looking expectant.
âIâll wait outside.
Go and be with your family,â Melany offered considerately, stepping backward.
Family?
At the mention of the word, I felt stunned.
I used to think that Elena was the only family Iâd ever have.
I didnât expect that Caleb would one day be part of my family.
Was this really our destiny?
âElena, come and see Daddy.
â
Swallowing the Lump in my throat, I led her to Calebâs bedside and whispered, âGo ahead, sweetie.
â
Elenaâs curious eyes widened as soon as they Landed on Calebâs still figure.
The man was as pale as his sheets, and he didnât stir even as we approached.
