The drive to the hospital felt like a blur as Rowan battled fear for Elsie and anger at Delaney’s absence.
Inside, nurses quickly took over, rushing Elsie to an exam room. Micah clung to Rowan, overwhelmed, as Rowan reassured him, “She’s in good hands.”
While doctors worked, Rowan called Delaney again—no answer. Then a message came: she wasn’t at a cabin, but in rehab, finally getting help.
The truth hit hard—relief mixed with worry.
Rowan called his sister Jenna, who arrived quickly, bringing comfort and support. Together, they stayed strong for the kids.
As hours passed, Elsie’s fever began to drop, giving Rowan hope. Micah found distraction in the playroom, guided by Jenna.
Rowan knew challenges lay ahead, but for now, he focused on one thing—keeping his children safe, loved, and healing.
