If Liam had just gone to check on Harlan, maybe Harlan wouldn’t have missed his best chance for treatment.
She was at fault in this.
But Liam wasn’t innocent, either!
If Liam were just some stranger, maybe it would be different.
But he wasn’t.
He was Harlan’s father.
Liam wasn’t going to dump all the blame on her. She wouldn’t let him.
Not a chance!
Liam reeled from the sting of Yara’s slap, his mind spinning. He lifted his hand, wanting to strike her back, but as he glanced at their son lying so still beside them, the urge faded. Instead, he held Harlan tightly, sobbing.
Just yesterday, his little boy was full of life—now, he was gone forever.
How was he supposed to bear this?
“Harlan, I’m so sorry, buddy. Dad should have protected you. I failed you…”
Yara wrapped her hands around Harlan’s small fingers, pressing them to her lips, kissing him over and over. Scalding tears streamed down her cheeks and onto Harlan’s hand.
“Harlan, I’m sorry. Can you ever forgive Mommy?”
“I was wrong, baby. I’m so sorry!”
“If I’d known you were really sick, I would’ve brought you to the hospital right away. I promise I would have…”
But Harlan was gone.
No matter how many times Yara apologized, he couldn’t hear her.
He couldn’t hear anything.
Regret gnawed at her, relentless. Every time she pictured her little boy suffering before he died, her heart twisted with remorse.
