Chase’s surgery was successful. However, Dr. Howard had explain to us that his recovery journey might be long and trying, especially for somebody his age. She’d informed us his right arm and leg were broken, and the bruises on his face should heal exceptionally well. After True asked her a million questions, she escorted us to Chase’s room. When we entered, the sight of the tubes entering his body and the casts shattered my already cracked heart into a million pieces.

“Oh, my baby…” Granny Ann’s voiced broke as she rushed to his side. “My baby…” She caressed his head.

Love stood next to her, crying. “He looks like he’s in so much pain.” She sniffled.

I took a step forward and realized True hadn’t moved from the door. When I faced him, it looked like the color from his face had been drained. His misty eyes zoned in on Chase, but they looked empty. True’s eyebrows furrowed and with clenched jaws, he finally looked down at me. Wrapping my arms around his torso, I hugged him tight.

His breathing slowed and his heartbeat steadied.

“He’s strong like you.” I let him go. “Thank you for letting me stay.” Rubbing his arm, I headed to Chase’s bed side.

“True, you wanna come in so we can say a quick prayer?” Granny asked, gently caressing the purplish pink bruise on Chase’s cheek.

He stayed at the door. “I’m good from here.” His words came out hoarsely, making me look to him.

True had always done a great job at hiding his emotions. He’d usually shut down and become reclusive. Never one to deal with matters of the heart, he’d much rather turn off his feelings. True took pride in being a father. He didn’t know how to process seeing his baby in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of his little body.

Granny Ann bowed her head and Love followed suit. My gaze stayed on True. He leaned against the doorjamb and looked up at the ceiling.

“Heavenly Father, thank You for answering our prayers. Thank You for sparing my grandbaby today.” She sniffled. “Lord, please heal him from this physically and emotionally.”

True’s shoulders dropped.

“We are so grateful to have such a merciful God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Love lifted her head. “Amen.”

True left the room.

“Amen.”
