Chapter 4: A Daughter Is Born
One week later, labor began.
Melanie never left Claire's side.
Neither did Claire's parents.
After fourteen difficult hours...
A tiny cry filled the delivery room.
Claire burst into tears.
"It's a girl," Melanie whispered.
The nurse placed the newborn onto Claire's chest.
The baby wrapped impossibly small fingers around Claire's thumb.
Claire smiled through exhausted tears.
"Hello, Emma."
Outside the hospital, reporters gathered.
They expected statements about Grant.
About lawsuits.
About corporate scandals.

"My daughter will never confuse fear with love."

No revenge speech.
No dramatic performance.
Only peace.

No one defended him.
