“I know you have video calls with Robbie and Ellie every day, don’t you?” Zachary asked. “All three of you would share about every little detail. So, I guess you’ve also told them that I’ve been sick, right?”

“I-I…” Jamie hesitated.

“Well, I don’t want them to worry. So could you please keep it a secret?” Zachary rubbed his head. “That way, Daddy can seek treatment with a carefree heart. Then, we’ll go to Erihal to meet them once I get better!”

“Okay.” Jamie was convinced as he nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, Daddy, I won’t tell them a single word about this. But you have to promise me that you will recover…”

“I’ll be waiting for you!” Jamie’s voice choked once again.

 

“I know.” Zachary hugged him. “Be a good boy, alright? Let’s work hard together and I’ll see you in a couple of months!”

“You got it!”
