Her heart skipped.
“What?”
He took a deep breath.
“We ran some tests after the surgery attempt…”
A pause.
And then—
“Samuel has a rare kidney condition.”
Miriam’s world tilted.
“What do you mean…?”
The doctor swallowed.
“It means… in the future… he may actually need a transplant.”
Silence.
Heavy.
Unforgiving.
Miriam looked at her son—
Laughing.
Alive.
Unaware.
Tears filled her eyes again.
But this time…
They weren’t just from pain.
They were from fear of what was coming next.
