A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1482

Eleanor didn’t pick up on Hailey’s last remark, her effort evident as she outstretched her hand weakly, “Since he’s the child I risked everything to bring into this world, may I hold him?”

Even with a gap in her memory, making everything around her seem foreign, there was an innate closeness she felt towards her own flesh and blood, a natural desire to hold her child.

As Hailey carefully set the baby down on the bed, she cautioned, “With the state you’re in, I can’t trust you to hold him just yet. Let’s just lay him beside you, and you can touch him, okay?”
