My Ex Turns Out To Be My Daughter's Doctor

Synopsis

Ten years ago, Charles Carter and I broke up in our rented apartment. He said he was heading back to his hometown to take over the family business and told me not to wait for him. I said okay. I didn't tell him I'd gotten into grad school, or that I was pregnant with his child. I figured, if he didn't want me in his life, then he didn't need to know about mine either. Ten years later, when my daughter, Selina Christ, suddenly got sick, I took her straight to the state hospital. As I sat in the exam room, I heard a nurse call out, "Dr. Carter, Room 3 has an emergency." The door swung open, and Charles walked in, wearing his white coat. He looked over the medical chart, and then glanced up at me. Then he froze. Selina whispered timidly, "Mommy..." Charles's gaze moved from my face to Selina's, and his expression changed instantly.
