Eleanor.....Dont play dumb with me, how could you be so cruel? You...abandoned her before, and now...you killed her.Your a monster!

Dad.....I swear i had nothing to do with her death, i never sent anyone to shoot her.

Eleanor.....See? I never said that she was shot, how did you know that? You really sent them...

Eleanor.....From now on, me and you are enemies and we have beef...no, we have war! Your not my dad anymore, your a stranger! How am i even a child to a murderer? Your....a monster....

As she was still talking, she fainted.She woke up and she was in a hospital with her dad beside her.

Dad.....Why didnt you tell me that your pregnant?

Eleanor.....I dont know you, dont talk to me.

Dad.....Honey, dont be like this, its so immature.Am taking you home.Who is the father of that baby? Is it Francis?

Eleanor stood up from the bed quietly and left.

Nurse.....Where is your daughter?

Dad.....She left, she doesnt want to talk to me.

Nurse.....You should take good care of her because her pregnancy is delicate.

Dad.....Dont worry, thanks alot.

Eleanor.....How are you doing?

Man.....Not good, i miss my wife and i feel bad that i didnt get to bury her.

Eleanor.....Its okay, she died happily because she was loved by a man like you.

Man.....Eleanor, please take care of yourself.....you must survive no matter what.....promise me.
