She clutched a beautifully wrapped gift box filled with a present for Dylan.
Inside was a handcrafted cup sheâd painstakingly fashioned, trying numerous times to make it perfect.
On the journey to the hospital, I felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Sensing my anxiety, Caleb held my hand and introduced a topic of conversation.
âDebra, did you ever guess whether Elena was going to be a boy or a girl while she was still in your belly?â
This topic grabbed my attention.
As my nervousness faded, a blanket of sadness enveloped me, shrouding my emotions.
A gentle smile curved on my lips as I shook my head, whispering softly, âNo.
â
Little did Caleb know that I carried two babies within me but the boy was dead.
I carried a heavy burden, one I wished I didnât have to share with him, for I didnât want to inflict this pain upon him.
I contemplated keeping this secret to myself.
It would only upset Caleb.
We soon found ourselves standing in the corridor just outside Dylanâs ward.
The atmosphere was tense, as if a storm was brewing.
A group of stern-faced guards encircled the area, signaling that something of great consequence had unfolded.
Before Caleb and I could unravel the enigma, a nurse rushed to us in panic.
âMr.
Wright, Dylan has been taken away by Denise!â
Debraâs POV:
âWhat?â Calebâs expression darkened instantly.
âWhat exactly happened?
Didnât I explicitly instruct you to watch over Denise and prevent her from entering the ward?â

The nurse trembled as she explained, âInitially, we did intercept Denise.
However, her cunning caught us off guard.
She disguised herself as a nurse and infiltrated the ward without our notice.
By the time we realized, she had taken Dylan away.
â
Caleb clenched his teeth as he asked, âSo, where are Denise and Dylan now?â
The nurse appeared somewhat embarrassed as a flush crept up her neck.
She shook her head and replied, âIâm not sure.
As soon as I realized the situation, I called for the guards.
However, Denise used Dylan as a hostage and compelled the guards to retreat.
I just saw her carrying Dylan upstairs.
Iâm not sure where she went next.
â
Caleb wore a solemn expression as he signaled to the head of the security team.
âHowâs everything going? Where can I find Denise and Dylan?â
âWeâve secured the entire building.
From the hospitalâs surveillance footage, Denise took Dylan to the rooftop.
Sheâs been using his safety as leverage, making it risky for anyone to approach them.
