Chapter 26: Jack...

"Tiger Lilly?"

"Dad?" You look up and see your Dad standing behind you with his hand on your shoulder.

"Jack? Is he???" You jump up in shock.

"He's right there, Tiger Lilly."

You turn and see him in the hospital bed, sleeping peacefully. The color is back in his face.

"Let's get a coffee and leave him to rest, okay?" You give him one last look and kiss him softly on his cheek. His eyelids move a little.

"Okay, Dad."

You walk out of the room and find a table at the coffee shop. "What are you doing here? How did you know?"

"When you didn't answer my call, I called Michelle and she told me everything."

"Oh god, Dad! Did he tell you everything??"

"Yes, that's why I'm here, to tell yo-"

"No!!!" You stand up and walk outside. "Lilly!" He follows you.
