A deep hush swept the room.

He continued, his voice cracking:

“My daughter has been facing a very serious medical situation. We kept it private… but things have gotten harder. And today… we need prayers.”

Several reporters audibly gasped.
A staff member covered their eyes.
One teammate bowed his head, overwhelmed.

The room was no longer a press conference — it was heartbreak unfolding live.
