At night in the hospital, a woman heard strange sounds coming from the hallway, and when she opened the door and saw who was approaching at such an hour, she was petrified with astonishment.
The woman was in the hospital with her little daughter. The child had already been in the room for three days: high fever and unexplained weakness would not let go, and the mother was tirelessly taking care of the girl.
The woman sat beside the bed, hands clenched, eyes wide open, when suddenly a strange sound came from the hallway — it was neither the clear sound of footsteps nor the noise of a hospital cart.
It seemed more as if someone was searching for something in the darkness and simply could not find it.
The girl opened her eyes and whispered fearfully 😒😒
— Mom… do you hear that?
Both fell silent. The sound repeated. This time, it was closer. The woman, without thinking of the danger, picked up the girl and slowly approached the door.
As soon as the door opened, they saw a silhouette in the distance, but the darkness in the hallway was so thick that the woman could not understand who this person was or why he had already walked back and forth several times in front of their room.
— Who’s there? — whispered the woman, afraid.
The shadow turned toward the voice and moved toward them. When it got closer and the weak light fell on him, the woman and child were shocked to see him.

When he stood under the light, the woman recognized him immediately. Her heart stopped, her breath caught. It was the girl’s father… her husband, from whom she had divorced two years ago, leaving the woman alone with the child before he left.
He had the same expression on his face — the same steps, the same weight on his shoulders. Only in his eyes was a cold note, as if he regretted his past mistake and had returned with a sense of guilt.
The woman did not accept her ex-husband and did not even allow him to hug the child once.
— Go away from here, — said the woman.
— You already made your choice many years ago.
— Please, let me at least hug my child once.
— No, — replied the woman.
Security was called, who escorted the man out of the hospital, while the woman calmly continued caring for her child. A feeling of calm fell over her as she realized that the danger no longer existed — it had been neutralized.
