Chapter 38 - THE CHOICEThe doctors explained the risks.

The treatment might help the survivors.
It might not.
There could be complications.
Noah listened carefully.
Then he asked:
“Can Ethan and Eliza try it?”
The doctors said yes.
Noah looked at the twins.
Ethan was nervous.
Eliza was terrified.
Noah sat beside them.
“You don't have to do this.”
Eliza looked at him.
“What if it works?”
“Then we celebrate.”
“What if it doesn't?”
“Then we try again.”
Ethan smiled faintly.
“You always make everything sound easy.”
Noah shook his head.
“It isn't easy.”
He looked at them.
“But you don't have to do it alone.”
The treatment began.
Hours passed.
Nothing happened.

A tiny movement.
Barely visible.
But real.
Ethan began crying.

Noah smiled.
For the first time, hope was no longer based on a lie.
