The doors swung open and a nurse wheeled Annette in.
Her face was ashen, her voice a pitiful whimper.
"Stan, I feel so awful..."
"The doctors said my kidneys are already shutting down. If I don't get the surgery soon, I won't make it through the night..."
In my past life, he'd ignored me while I hemorrhaged during a difficult labor. Now, with two lives hanging in the balance, he walked toward Annette all the same.
Stan's voice was ice.
"It's just a bastard. Losing it changes nothing."
"Prep the kidney transplant. Save Annette first."
My whole body shook. He wouldn't even spare his own child.
"Stan Delgado! You'll pay for this!"
The scream ripped from my throat, tears and cold sweat streaming down my face.
Then the explosion hit.
