CHAPTER
9:
Aprils P.O.V:
"Sam?" I whispered, as he covered his face with his hand
and turned his back to our daughter.
His shoulders shook, and I could tell he was crying.
"Its okay, shes okay, its not your fault," I said,
pushing my wheelchair over to him.
My own lips trembled as I watched him break down.
I had never seen him like this before. I had never seen him so
completely devastated.
I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, and I looked up to see
Alex standing over me.
No.
"No." I said, pushing myself away from him. "I
don't want you here."
He looked taken aback. "I'm just trying to help-"
"No." I said more sternly. "Leave."
Sam turned around and Alex immediately backed off.
"I'll see you later." He said, and left the
hospital.
I turned my attention back to Sam, whose eyes were red and
watery.
He looked back into the room where Sophie was sleeping and exhaled
sharply.
The door next to us suddenly swung open and the doctor walked
out.
"Sorry-" Sam said quickly,
"I'm Sophie's father. Is she okay?"
The doctor sighed and furrowed his eyebrows.
"It depends how you define 'okay'. Mentally,
shes fine. she has no brain damage, and her nerves are working
fine. And physically, she is capable of doing anything any other
child can do. Its just her appearance I'm worried about. See,
when the crash happened, it seems like a shard of glass came down
and cut your daughters face-"
A shaky breath came out of my mouth.
"She will have a scar. now usually i wouldn't say having a
scar is that bad compared to what could have happened to her, but
this ones big. it stretches from her right ear to her chin. I'm
so sorry we cant do anything for this. If theres anything I can
help you with, don't hesitate to ask for me at the front
desk." The doctor nodded curtly and walked off.
