The surgery that would save his son's life could be happening without him.

He closed his eyes, his chest constricting with a suffocating feeling. He couldn't imagine a world without his boy. His breath hitched in his throat. He opened his eyes, trying to force himself to focus on positive thoughts, but the fear was overwhelming.
