I've always hated the smell of hospitals , especially this particular one.All those dark empty days six years ago just kept coming back each time I come here.

It had taken me three weeks to get off bed and about three months to be able to move about again.

All I could think of was getting well because I wanted her so badly.

But then....

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I reached the door to dad's private ward, the door was ajar so I didn't bother with a knock.

His back was faced to me as he stared out the window.

it was great to see him back on his feet.He was always a strong man, whose presence commanded power, this would be the very first time since I've known him that he's gotten so sick and even had to be admitted.

"How are you feeling now?the doctor said you are doing well " I spoke striding casually to meet up with him.

He turned around to face me slowly, the corners of his lips quirking just slightly, his wrinkled eyes rested on me for a moment before he walked over to seat by the single bed.

"I'm retired, the burden is no longer on me anymore so I should be fine "

"That's good to hear "

"You should come over more often son, It's quite boring staying there by myself ,I also know the business is quite busy lately "

He cared about his family but he was one who rarely shows his emotions.I think Sebastian and I got that part from him.

We discussed about business for a while before I decided it was time to leave.

I should stay for a little bit longer but my whole body was thrumming with impatience.

"Stay healthy father "

We gave each other curt nods before I stormed right outside and headed straight to my car.

"Hello "

a feminine voice spoke from behind me, I turned around to see Melissa.

She was the daughter of one of our business partners, .what she was doing over here at the hospital?

"I'm sending my dad's regard to your father " she explained

That would say for her sudden presence here, her dad and mine were quite close, friends I might even say.

"Are you leaving?I.."

"I have work " I spoke interrupting whatever she was about to say.

I have something that couldn't wait.

Finding her.

"Verify that info and send me every detail about that..there should be nothing amiss, I'll have to hear your feedback in an hour" I commanded

He gulped visibly before taking a glance at the document I had given to him.which consisted of her drivers license and car insurance.
