Solana's heart raced as she waited anxiously at the hospital for the results from Atlas's laboratory tests. After what felt like an eternity, the doctor finally arrived.Steeling herself, Solana walked towards him. "Please, tell me what's wrong with my son," she pleaded, her voice trembling.The doctor's face wore a grave expression. "Your son has severe refractory asthma," he began. "People with this condition often experience frequent and severe asthma attacks, struggling to breathe and feeling tightness in their chest. These attacks can be life-threatening if not properly managed."Solana's knees weakened as she heard the doctor's words. She swallowed hard and nodded, silently urging him to continue."I suggest bronchial thermoplasty as a treatment option. It involves using heat to reduce the muscle mass in the airways," the doctor explained. "Given the frequency and severity of your son's attacks, it's crucial to operate as soon as possible. However, I must inform you that it com

Solana's POVAlton's mother walked away, leaving me in the lobby with a heavy heart. How could she say those words?Is she really this cruel to say such things to my innocent son?"Solana, let's go," George said, holding my arms and helping me stand up.Tears cascaded down my face as I looked around the lobby. I saw curious and pitying eyes fixed on me."Let's go," George urged, guiding me out of the hotel.We walked towards his car, and once we were inside, he handed me a tissue."Where should I drive you?" he asked gently.I looked at him, took the tissue he offered, and wiped away my tears."To the hospital," I said.George let out a deep breath and nodded before starting the engine.I could see concern in his eyes, as if he wanted to ask questions but restrained himself."Atlas has severe refractory asthma and needs an operation as soon as possible. I don't have the money for his surgery, which is why I wanted to see Alton. Besides, he deserves to know our son's condition," I expl

The minutes stretched into hours, and the weight of anticipation bore down on me.Finally, the doors of the operating room swung open, and my heart leapt into my throat. The doctor emerged, his face a mask of solemnity. I rushed towards him, my voice trembling with fear and pain."Doc, how's my son?" I pleaded, desperate for good news.The doctor's gaze held mine for a long moment, his silence amplifying my anxiety. The longer he remained silent, the more my fear intensified."Doc, what happened to my son?" I pressed, my voice cracking with emotion. Tears cascaded down my face, and I felt myself shaking uncontrollably.The doctor reached out and placed a hand on my shoulder, but his smile lacked warmth. It was a smile tinged with sadness, and it sent a chill through my veins."I'm sorry. We did ever

I had only been gone for a few days, never imagining that my world would shatter upon my return.As soon as the plane touched down in Massachusetts, I rushed to Solana's house, only to find it empty.

Instead, I found solace in staring at my son's photograph.I didn't want to prolong this funeral any further. Today would be the last day."Solana, you should eat," Mary offered me a plate of food, but I merely smiled at her.She sighed deeply, placing the food to the side. "Let me know if you need anything, okay?" she said. I smiled and nodded in response.Tears no longer streamed down my face, but my chest felt tight, and my heart shattered into pieces. I was merely breathing, but I no longer felt alive because the reason for my existence had already departed.I felt as though I had lost my purpose.Attending my son's funeral was a torment no mother should ever endure.

This was the place where I had raised my son and where his memories lingered.Once the plane took off, I wiped away my tears, leaned back against the seat, and tightly closed my eyes, mentally preparing myself for the new life that awaited me in New York. Kris had no idea about my plans to fly there, but I knew I could count on her. I needed her help for a fresh start—a place to stay.

Where is Atlas?" she inquired, and at the mention of my son's name, the sorrow I had been suppressing surged through me.I mustered a sad smile.
