Chapter 4: A Family Rebuilt

Chapter 4: A Family Rebuilt

Two weeks later...

Khloe finally held her newborn daughter.

Tiny.

Healthy.

Perfect.

Marcus sat beside her hospital bed.

Neither spoke for a long time.

The baby's fingers wrapped around Marcus's thumb.

He smiled through tears.

"I'm sorry."

Khloe looked at him.

"For what?"

"I saw Isabella getting too close."

"I ignored what mattered."

"I thought I could keep everyone happy."

Khloe reached for his hand.

"You can't protect a family by refusing to see danger."

Marcus nodded.

"I know now."

Outside the room...

Dr. Bennett watched quietly.

Beside him stood Khloe's uncle.

Judge Nathan Carter.

The man who had arrived moments after the attack.

He smiled.

"Justice takes time."

Dr. Bennett answered,

"But truth gets there first."
