บท 87: Not An Accident

Hailey got off the bed and gave way to the doctor who would examine Vincent.  She stood on the side and watched tentatively to the doctor's advice. 

He asked several questions. After writing on the chart and instructing a few things, the doctor left the room. 

"Are you hungry, son?" Fred asked afterward.

Vincent nodded, reaching for his stomach. "I'm starving, dad."

"Perfect! We brought food Miss Hillson prepared for dinner, cousin! I heard from Jake that she prepared a few dishes for the Class Reunion. I wished I was at the gathering." Carl said with regret. 'You are a lucky bastard.' 

"And where were you that night, anyway?" Vince asked Carl. When his cousin only grins at him, he shifts his attention back to his father. "Am I allowed to eat heavy meals, dad?" he craved meat at this moment. 

"Soft meals are what your doctor advises. Porridge and chicken soup will be best." Fred answered.
