Fuck.
Everything was unraveling.
All because one i***t couldn’t follow a simple rule:

Kellan was already filing a lawsuit, drafting injunctions, threatening the hospital board, and firing off cease-and-desist orders like bullets.

And I couldn’t even enjoy it.
I had to leave.

“I’ll be back later to see you, okay?” I said, hurrying to his bedside and kissing the soft skin of his forehead.
He frowned. “Dad? Why the rush? I want you to stay.”
That hit harder than any scandal ever coul
