Chapter 17: Chapter 17

"Doctor, how is my husband???" Mrs. Wilson's voice shook while she asked about her husband's health. Chole and Nick holding their mother's hands trying to console her.

Rebecca, who is just far from them, stares at the doctor without going near him. She's also worried about her father's health.

Mrs.Wilson and Chole warned her to stay far from her father or they will not permit her to see him again.

Rebecca silently followed their words because she wanted to see her father and stay close to him.

"He is now fine! But you need to take care of patients very well and don't let him take stress in any way. It's not good for his health. It can be serious next time!" He reported them.

Everyone felt relieved to hear Mr.Wilson is no more in danger. Rebecca also sighed in relief and tears followed from her cheeks. She thanked God for saving her father.

"Thank you, doctor! When will he be discharged?" Mrs.Wilson looked at the doctor and questioned.

"I think a week because after a week all his reports will come and after seeing them if everything turns out to be alright then your husband can go back home." The doctor declared calmly.

Everyone sighed in relief.

"Alright, doctor!" Mrs.Wilson lightly nodded.

The doctor went towards another ward.

Mrs. Wilson coldly turned her head and looked at Rebecca with a furious face.

"Did you hear? What just the doctor told us! He can't take any type of stress for now!! So, don't try to do any reckless thing or else that will be your last day in my home and you can't see your father again!!" She glared at her and yelled angrily.

Chole looked at her with killing stares while Nick looked at her face with a displeased expression. After seeing her trying to complain about him to his father.

Rebecca didn't argue with them because she's completely tired after seeing many things in just one day. She is just happy that her father is good. She didn't even think about Nick anymore. For now, only her father is important.

In the night, everyone left the hospital except Rebecca. Mrs.Wilson didn't stop her to stay. Because her children are now tired and need proper rest. Rebecca can take care of him well, she knew it.

She slept on the floor using a blanket beside her father's bed.

The next morning, she heard his father's voice and instantly woke up from sleep.

She's rarely asleep the whole night. That's why her father's low voice is enough to open her eyes.

When she got up and turned to look at the bed. She saw his father already awake and looking at her with a small smile.

"Rebecca!" His voice was weak.

"Dad!!" She instantly hugged him.

"Ohh dad, I was so scared when suddenly you..!" She could not complete her words and started crying.

"My poor child!!" He sighed helplessly and patted her back lightly.

"I'm fine now! So please don't cry anymore!!" he wiped her tears and said in a concerned tone.

"Dad, please be always healthy. I can not lose you!!" She was terrified when her dad's condition suddenly became worse in front of her eyes. She thought she would lose her father also. Her one and only family gave her warmth.

"When you are beside me, I'll always be healthy!" He smiled generously.

"I need to call the doctor! You rest!" She instantly leaves the ward and comes with a doctor.

He checked his health and smiled.

"Mr. Wilson's heartbeat is stable now. There are no other issues as well. He is fine now!" He reported Rebecca and she smiled.

"Thank you, doctor!" She thanked him.

"It's my duty!" He nodded and left the ward.

Rebecca sat on the chair beside her father's bed.

"See, I'm fine!" His father laughed weakly.

Rebecca smiled gently and nodded.

"Dear, you wanted to talk about Nick yesterday!" Her dad suddenly asked, looking at her calm eyes.

Rebecca felt a sharp pain in her heart to hear his name. But she plastered a wide smile the next moment and shook her head in denial.

"No, dad! I just wanted to tell you that when I was missing from home, I was at the hospital during those days because of my friend." She looked at her father with a calm face while her hand clenched her fist tightly. Not showing her real breakout.

"Friend?" He raised his eyebrow with confusion.

"Yes dad, my friend got into a car accident and needed to go to the hospital immediately. The local people saw my number in her last call and asked me to come. I panicked and forgot to contact you or anyone before leaving." She explained while her soul was crushing herself inside her.

"I'm sorry. I made you worried but at that time I just wanted to save my friend first." She lied to him with a heavy heart. Her lips trembled a little when she finished her words. This is not what she wanted to say.

Mr.Wilson heard her words and understood all the things clearly. It's normal for her not to contact them when she was solving someone else's trouble.

He felt relieved that Rebecca was not in danger. She was just with her friend and helping her.

"How is your friend now?" He asked in a worried tone.

"She's fine. Her family is now taking care of her!" She responded in a deep tone. Hiding her true pain within her.

Hearing that her friend is now alright, Mr.Wilson felt relieved in his heart.

Rebecca wanted to tell the truth but after hearing the doctor's warning. She could not hold up the courage to tell him this bitter truth. For him, she can endure this poisonous relationship for now.

"Dad, you rest! I need to ask the doctor about your medicine." She lightly smiled.

"Alright!" He replied and again closed his eyes to take the rest.

Sophia's eyes filled with tears and she immediately left the ward and went towards a long corridor without knowing that someone heard her conversation from behind the door and gave a creepy smile on his face.

She went outside and tried to take a deep breath. It's feeling her suffocating inside there.

It's not going to be easy for her to live in the same place with that monster.

She already made the decision that after telling her father all the truth she's going to live outside but now there is no option for her. She needs to stay with her father there. She can't leave him when his health is not good and or give him any type of trauma because of her.

She felt devastated right now.
