“What?” I looked at Dylan in shock as he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. What he said cannot be true!
“I came looking for him as soon as I got the news. We’re going to the hospital right away,” Dylan said, reaching out to help me buckle up.
I finally came to my senses and grabbed his hand. “Dylan, m-my dad… He’s going to be okay, right?”
“He goes. Don’t worry. Mr. Hawkins will be fine.” Dylan said to comfort me.
A sharp, screeching sound of a car suddenly braking sounded next to us, which made me jump in shock. I looked over and saw Eric Walker sitting in the car with a grim expression and looking directly at us.
Not wanting to worry about Eric’s nasty glare, I let go of Dylan’s hand and quickly fastened my seat belt as I instructed him. “Hurry up and drive.”
Dylan nodded and started the car. As our car passed Eric’s, I saw him turn his head and look at me coldly with an icy gaze.
I didn’t bother to think about why Eric was using such an expression, because my heart and mind were consumed by my father’s brain hemorrhage. Five years ago, my father was in the best of health and never had any illnesses, but five years later, he was hospitalized with a case of cerebral hemorrhage.
Sadness swelled in my heart as I tried with all my might to suppress the pain. My tears spilled over my eyes and rolled without my noticing. “Dylan, has my father’s health been deteriorating for some time?”
“I heard he went to the hospital to get his blood pressure checked and he’s on medication,” Dylan replied. “By the way, do you remember that day I bumped into you when you were visiting your father-in-law in the hospital? Mr. Hawkins was also seeing a doctor at that hospital that day.”
I couldn’t say a word. Now I understand why my dad wouldn’t let me in when I went home the other day. He said he would only see me when I really knew my mistakes.
If I really knew my mistakes, how could I not care what was going on in my parents’ lives? I didn’t even know about my dad’s illness so it was no wonder he was upset.
I felt really bad when I thought about it. Now my birth father was sick and I didn’t give a shit but I cared a lot. about that idiot’s father, Carson.
My father must be heartbroken to have a daughter like me, right? Thinking about what I did to my parents over the years, my tears fell uncontrollably. They were tears of regret that came too late.
“Lily, don’t worry. Nothing bad will happen.” Seeing me crying, Dylan comforted me as he pulled a tissue for
mine.
“Dylan, I really am the worst daughter. How did I get to this point? I regret it so much! Tell me, will my parents forgive such a terrible daughter like me?”
