Chapter 9 - David Comforts Ella In The Warm Medical Room
Back in the nursery, Ella sat propped up against soft feather pillows while the pediatric nurse checked her vital signs.
Her fever had broken, and the color was slowly returning to her cheeks under the warmth of heated wool blankets.
David walked in quietly, pulling up a wooden chair beside her bed and taking her small, cold hand in his.
“How are you feeling, my brave little girl?” David asked softly, stroking her dark curls with tender affection.
“I’m warm now, Daddy... and I'm not scared anymore because you're here,” Ella whispered with a sweet, innocent smile.
“You’ll never have to be scared again, Ella. Daddy is going to make sure justice is served for you and for Mommy,” David vowed.

The nurse smiled approvingly, adjusting the IV drip as Ella slowly drifted off into a peaceful, dreamless sleep.
David stood up, walking silently back down to his study to review the newly decrypted security footage.
