Chapter 147: Visiting Mia

Carter walked into the hospital with a stuffed bunny in his hand. He asked the front desk where Mia's room was, stating he was a close friend. It took them a moment to let him through the long hallways to her room.

He thanked the nurse and knocked on the door. Matteo answered the door and wrapped his arms around Carter. "Thank you so much for coming."

"No problem. Seriously, Matt." Carter pulled away and pat his friend on the back. "Can I see her?"

"Of course." Matt led him to his daughter, who was half awake in the bed. "Someone is here to see you, Mia."

"Hi, girly." Carter smiled and made the bunny flop from side to side. "How are you?"

"Hurt." Mia sniffed and held her hands out weakly for the stuffed bunny. "You brought me a bun bun?"

"I did. I brought the princess a bun bun." Carter sat down beside her and made the bunny boop her cheek with its nose. "And the bunny loves you just as I do."

Mia softly giggled and took the bunny, cuddling it. "I love it. Thank you."
