Truth Finally Leaks

The doctor walked up to Liam and I with a sympathetic face, “How bad is it?” I first asked. Best to get the worst over first. He sucked in a breath and said, “Well she’s okay for now. The virus attacked her white blood cells and made them attack her heart. She was legally dead for about a minute or so, but the people in the ambulance managed to get her heart going again. Shes concious now if you want to talk to her.”

I nodded and walked in with Liam. At the sound of people entering her room Hazel straightened her back a little, sea green eyes foggy from the pain relievers, “Liam, Joel.” She simply stated. Liam ran up to her and gave her a hug, tears finally falling, “I thought you were gone Mommy.”

“Oh no, Im too strong to go without a fight honey.”

“Mommy, I’m sorry for anything that I’ve ever done bad. And I love you.”

“Aww I love you too dear.” I walked up as she said this, making her look up, “Joel, I’m sorry…I-I was going to tell you…I’m sorry.”

“I’m fine. To be honest I already knew.”
