Meet your daughter, Olivia.<br \/>\nShe\u2019s your problem now. Enjoy your wedding.<\/p>\n<p>A wave of nausea washed over me as I clutched the note tightly. \u201cShe just left her?\u201d I whispered, barely able to comprehend his words. Ethan let out a humorless laugh as he explained, \u201cBy the time I looked up, she was already gone. I called, but the number was disconnected. There was no way to reach her\u2014just this note.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My eyes fell on Olivia again, the little girl who had unknowingly been thrust into this chaotic moment. She clung to Ethan\u2019s jacket, her small fingers digging into the fabric as if it were the only anchor in her suddenly upended world. My heart ached as I realized that she, too, was caught in the fallout of a truth I was struggling to accept.<\/p>\n<p>Ethan cleared his throat, his voice softening as he confessed, \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to do. With the wedding only hours away, I made her something to eat, found an old hoodie that fit, and drove here. I couldn\u2019t leave her.\u201d The weight of his words pressed down on me, mingling with my own grief. For years, I had mourned the loss of the children I would never have, having undergone surgery five years ago that made that reality unavoidable.
