Chapter 3 - The Devastating Truth About The Unsurvived Twin Revealed
Lucas sank slowly onto the edge of the hospital mattress, his shoulders shaking with uncontainable grief and regret.
“What else don’t I know, Mabel? Dr. Evans said there were twins... where is our other child?” Lucas asked hoarsely.
Mabel closed her eyes tightly, a single tear escaping and tracing a slow path down her pale cheek.
“The stress of your absence... the exhaustion of carrying this entire family burden alone... it triggered premature labor,” she sobbed.
“Did we lose both of them? Please tell me one of them survived,” Lucas begged, grabbing the sheets in agony.
Mabel opened her eyes, looking directly into his soul with a gaze that froze his blood.
“One of our babies passed away before the doctors could even reach the incubator,” Mabel whispered with unbearable pain.
Lucas let out a choked cry, burying his face in his hands as the horrifying reality fully set in.
“And the other twin... where is our surviving child, Mabel?” Lucas whispered through his tears.
