I couldn't keep quiet anymore.
— [What results?]
Daniel turned around. When he saw me, he completely paled.
“Laura?” How do you...
What is going on with our daughter?
The doctor asked us to sit down.
It turned out that three weeks earlier, Daniel had spotted a small, dark spot on Emma's back. The pediatrician immediately referred her to a specialist. Doctors suspected a rare and dangerous skin disease.
By the time the test results were received, Daniel was to clean the changed site each evening with a special medical solution. It caused a little burning, which is why Emma was crying.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I sobbed.
Daniel lowered his head.
“You lost two pregnancies last year. When the doctor told me about his suspicions, I remembered how at the hospital you begged me never to pass on bad news to you again until they were confirmed. I thought I'd carry that burden myself for a few days.
“Why did Emma say it was a secret?”
His eyes were filled with tears.
