Let's Get Married

Lily looks at Bree who is carefully tucking Harry in, and feels sad. Handing her a glass of hot water, she says, "Mom, drink some. I've talked to the doctor. Dad is suffering from brain infarction, but we can only know more after tomorrow's examination. I'll have a friend from Karl's Hospital pick him up in the morning."

"What else did the doctor say? How is your dad? Is he in any mortal danger?"

"Not temporarily, but he needs surgery. So, I want to transfer him to Karl's Hospital." Lily plays down the seriousness of Harry's illness, afraid that Bree can't take it.

"Karl's Hospital?" Bree's memory doesn't serve her well at this old age. "Is it...?"

"It's Rex's friend's hospital," Lily interrupts, "It's better than this one. Dad will be fine there."

"That's good. It's preferable to have friends around."

Lily looks down at Harry, who is lying on the hospital bed and wearing a patient gown. He is in a coma, with a ventilator in his nose and a clip attached to the ECG monitor on his finger. However, he seems tense.

Lily cries despite herself, feeling complicated. She remembers Harry as the young man he used to be. But the truth is time has made him old and weak.

Lily sniffs and endures the sadness that is about to burst out. She doesn't want to sadden Bree even more. Taking out her phone, Lily calls Karl.

The phone rings a few times before it is picked up. A familiar warm voice sounds, "Lily?"

"Karl, it's me."

Her voice is trembling, which worries Karl. His first thought is that it must be about Rex. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I'm fine. It's my father." Lily looks at the white wall in front of her, feeling depressed. "This morning, my father had brain infarction. He has just been rescued in the hospital. The doctor said the clots were huge and he needed surgery."

"Don't worry. How is the old man now?"
