Nathan believed he was the strong provider of his family — in control, decisive, and self-reliant. When his wife Miranda begged for help managing work and their three children, he dismissed the idea of a nanny, insisting they simply “manage better.” Even when Miranda fainted from anemia, he refused proper medical care, driven by a deep mistrust of doctors rooted in childhood trauma. His arrogance reached a devastating peak one morning when, late for an important meeting, he blocked an ambulance in traffic and refused to move — even after the driver shouted that a child inside needed urgent care. Nathan coldly replied that doctors couldn’t help anyway, unaware that the injured child inside the ambulance was his own son, Luke, who had fallen and suffered a severe head injury.

By the time Nathan learned the truth, Luke was in emergency surgery. Doctors later confirmed the ambulance delay nearly cost the boy his life. The realization that his selfishness had almost killed his own child shattered Nathan. Consumed by guilt, he sought out the ambulance driver to apologize and thank him for saving Luke. Determined to change, Nathan hired the driver as his personal chauffeur and later employed the man’s wife as their nanny, finally accepting help instead of rejecting it. The experience humbled him, rebuilding his understanding of responsibility, trust, and what truly matters — not control, but care.
