Paramedic Fights for Life of Homeless Girl in Labor, Learns Her Newborn Is His Grandson — Story of the Day

I have heard this name before, a doctor thought to himself after reading the name of a patient who had just passed away. He was sure he had never met this girl, but her name rang a bell. Who is she? he wondered.

After a hectic day at work, Trevor entered his house and darted for the couch before his phone rang. Who can it be? he wondered before he slid his phone out of his pocket and answered it.

“Dr. Trevor, we need you at the hospital right now! Only you can save this girl from dying,” his assistant screamed through the phone.

“Okay, okay. Calm down, please,” Trevor said. “I’ll be there in five minutes.”

Olivia, was she your daughter? Trevor wondered. He had no idea where Olivia was and whether she had a daughter. The last time he saw her was about three decades ago when they broke up.
