Chapter 119

Liam POV 

After visiting my daughter, I decided to stop by the hospital on my way home to check on Claudine. I was worried about her and hoped the baby was okay.

The hospital was bustling, filled with noise and movement. Before heading to Claudine's room, I stopped by the gift shop—I couldn't go empty-handed. I picked out a large pink balloon with the words "It's a Girl" and a fluffy pink teddy bear. Truthfully, I didn't know what to buy for a newborn. When McKayla was born, I wasn't even aware of her arrival.

At the front desk, I approached a friendly nurse and asked if she could guide me to Claudine's room. She smiled and led me through the maze of the maternity ward. We stopped in front of room 4, where she said, "Miss Claudine is in here," before heading off.

I took a deep breath and opened the door.
