She went to the hospital to give birth, and when the baby was born, the doctor burst into tears upon seeing it…

Lucía collapsed back against the pillow, tears streaming down her face.

This wasn’t the same kind of crying.

This was relief.
This was love.
This was everything.

“Is he okay?” she asked desperately.

The nurse smiled warmly, wrapping the baby in a soft blanket.

“He’s perfect.”

But just as she was about to place him in Lucía’s arms…

The door opened.

And everything changed.

The doctor on duty stepped in—a man in his late fifties, calm, experienced, the kind of presence that made people feel safe instantly.

Dr. Esteban Vega.

He picked up the chart, walked over, and glanced at the newborn.
