Nick held Amelia close as she cried silently into his chest, her tears soaking through his shirt. He stroked her hair gently, his voice low and steady, "We still have time to find a bone marrow donor, right? Don't lose hope, baby."
Amelia nodded against him, her face pressed to his chest. "I don't have a choice. I'll ask my family to get tested," she whispered, the weight of that decision pressing hard on her.
Nick pulled back slightly, his brows furrowed in concern. "You're going to ask your family?"
Amelia nodded, knowing full well what that meant. Telling her parents—Mr. and Mrs. Wang—along with Olivia and Aaron, would open up a storm of questions and likely a lot of anger. They had no idea she and Nick were together again. Yet, Nick just smiled, offering silent support.
