💔 PART 2 — THE SECRET THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
Daniel couldn’t move.
He stood in the doorway of the tiny house, staring at the teenage boy in the wheelchair.
The boy had dark hair.
The same dark eyes Daniel saw every morning when he looked in the mirror.
Daniel’s voice shook.
“Who is he?”
Emily looked away.
“His name is Noah.”
Daniel swallowed.
“Emily…”
She finally looked at him.
“He’s your son.”
The words hit Daniel harder than anything he had ever experienced.
“My son?”
Emily nodded.
Daniel looked at Noah again.
The boy was perhaps fourteen.
He sat quietly in an old wheelchair, watching the strange man who had suddenly appeared at their door.
Daniel’s eyes filled with tears.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Emily gave a bitter smile.
“When would I have told you?”
Daniel had no answer.
“When you threw me out?” she continued.
“When you told me I was ruining your life?”
