Anna was about to call Frank “Dad” when she realized that he thought she was a nurse. Then, she froze.

“How long have I slept?” Frank asked as he sat up from the bed and leaned over it. He looked as if he was about to get out of bed.

Anna immediately reached out to help him, but he pushed her away. He said, “No, thanks. It‘s okay. I can do it myself.”

With that, he got out of bed on his own. He fumbled with his shoes and then touched the end of the bed. Then, he slowly walked toward the balcony by holding the things along his way.

“It seems to be a pretty nice day, doesn‘t it?” He said, then walked to the balcony. Immediately afterward, Anna opened the door for him.

Frank nodded, walked out onto the balcony, and said, “Thank you. The air is pretty fresh here. It just rained, didn‘t it?”

As he spoke, he suddenly stumbled and tripped over a chair. “Dad!” Anna cried out in shock.

Frank held on to the edge of the chair and stood still. Then, he looked back at Anna in surprise.

“Anna? Is that you?” He asked, and then frozed.

Anna walked up quickly to help him and said, “Yes, it‘s me. Dad, why didn‘t you tell me you were sick?”

Although Frank looked surprised, he was delighted. He said, “Come on, have a seat, Anna. Well, I didn‘t think I needed to tell you about this. It‘s common for people to get sick as they get older. This illness of mine isn‘t terrible, and it doesn‘t hurt. I‘m just having a little trouble moving around. Honey, relax, it‘s no big deal.”

He said casually, trying to show that he was not bothered by the disease. However, Anna felt mixed emotions.

“Dad, why did you move to a nursing home? Can‘t they all take care of you?”
