Chapter 3 - The Guardian Angel
While Ethan was at a luxury lounge celebrating a business contract, Julian—Ethan’s lifelong business rival and CEO of Vance Logistics—arrived at the hospital after hearing about Claire's emergency delivery from a mutual physician.
Julian had known Claire since university. He had silently loved her for years, stepping back respectfully when she chose Ethan, assuming Ethan would treasure her.
When Julian walked into the cold NICU hallway and saw Claire sitting alone in a wheelchair, crying quietly against the glass partition, his heart shattered.
"Claire..." Julian whispered gently, kneeling beside her wheelchair and covering her trembling hands with his own. "Where is Ethan?"
"He left..." Claire choked out, her voice barely audible through her tears. "He said girls are worthless to his family legacy... he refused to cover the incubator fees..."
Julian’s jaw tightened, his eyes burning with intense resolve. He pulled his black credit card from his wallet and handed it directly to the head physician.
"Clear every medical bill," Julian commanded softly. "Assign the best private pediatric team in New York. I will personally cover every expense for Claire and her daughters."
