“Where is the baby’s father?”
Lucía’s expression hardened instantly.
“He’s not here.”
“I need his name.”
“Why does that matter?” she snapped, fear turning into anger. “Tell me what’s wrong with my baby!”
The doctor looked at her—his eyes full of something heavy… something old.
“Please,” he said softly. “Tell me his name.”
Lucía hesitated.
Then answered:
“Adrián Vega.”
The room went completely silent.
The doctor closed his eyes.
A tear slipped down his cheek.
“…Adrián Vega,” he whispered. “Is my son.”
No one moved.
The baby’s soft cries echoed in the room as two completely separate lives collided in a single moment.
Lucía felt like the air had been ripped out of her lungs.
