Chapter 1326 Finn’s Illness (Part Eleven)

• In that moment, Chadwick Fullner’s heart truly shattered. Samantha Wembley broke down and sobbed. If you weren’t starved for love—aching for it—how could you cling to a robot toy like it was your last lifeline? How could it matter that much? The sad truth was, no matter how hard Samantha tried, the missing piece could never be put back the way it was. Chad pulled Finn into a tight hug, losing control for a second. He ached for this poor kid. No matter how much Finn had hated him at the end, that hate came from craving real, lifelong fatherly love. Those feelings were real. Finn still depended on him.
• “It’s okay, Finn. If a toy breaks, we can buy another. If we lose something, we can look and find it again. And you don’t have to be afraid of bad guys. Daddy will grow up with you and help you beat every last one of them.” Holding Finn, Chad couldn’t stop his tears.
• Samantha choked up beside them. “Finn, it’s okay. We found Daddy. He’ll teach you. You’ll grow up, little by little—stronger, braver. No bad guy can beat you.” She hadn’t seen Finn like this in forever. This turn felt like a dream she’d waited on too long to believe. Right now, no matter what Finn asked for, she’d say yes without a second thought.
