After That Day
Alicia cut me off with a sneer, patting Tony's back and nudging him toward me.
After a thorough check-up, the results left me cold with shock.
…
Tony was four, and he had been fighting for his life in the ICU. He was born with a congenital heart defect so severe that leaving the hospital could send him into shock.
However, his vitals this time were perfect.
His once frail arms were then muscular, as strong as a young bull's.
Alicia, seeing my astonishment, yanked Tony back to her side, impatient.
"I've always said my son is a fighter, protected by the gods! No disease can touch him, let alone a heart condition."
