Phillip entered the ward. Ann was sitting by the bed in a daze. There were still tears on her eyelashes and tear stains on her pretty fair face.
Looking at the unconscious William on the bed, Phillip frowned when he recalled the doctor's words.
Sitting next to Ann, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears off Ann's face. He hugged her shoulders and let her lean into his arms.
"It will be fine."
When Ann heard his voice, she looked up at him.
"I'm so scared. If something really happens to Dad, what should I do?"
William was her only family in this world...
Phillip wrapped her slender and cool hand into his palm, his dark eyes filled with gentleness and seriousness that had never been seen before.
"Nothing will happen to your father. You have me. You have Nikki. We will always be with you."
...
Ann was worried about William and insisted on keeping watch in the hospital.
