Chapter 28: The Lockwood National Park

“Mister Thompson, this is for you,” a young bald girl walked up to Erick, Evan’s father, and gave him a teddy bear.

Another young boy, wearing a cannula, breathed deeply as he handed a single flower to Clara Thompson. He said, “For

you.’

“This is Lily. She has leukemia. She is

waiting for a bone marrow donor,” Evan whispered to his parents. “And the boy is

Scott. He has damaged lung cells. He easily gets sick and is a common visitor at the hospital.”

One by one, kids at the Lockwood

Children’s Hospital gave their thanks to

Erick and Clara Thompson. The decision

to purchase the Lockwood National Park meant saving the hospital, the very last scenic view in town, and possibly saving their lives.

Some children could not get out of bed. They were attached to the machines that kept them alive. Erick and Clara could

only watch as the children lay on their

beds.

When they made it to an entertainment

room, they saw older children, some wearing masks, playing in their hospital gowns. They were admitted because of different illnesses but only had one goal: to live longer.

“Children, say hello to Mister and Misses Thompson,” one of the hospital

administrators said. Her name was Mina.

She guided Evan, his parents, and his

friends through the hospital.

“Mister Thompson! Misses Thompson,

thank you for saving the park!”

“It’s nice to meet you!”

Some children gave a piece of their belongings as a token of appreciation.

The parents who were around also gave

their gratitude to Erick and Clara.

Behind Evan, his friends, whom he had

invited, gave their approving nods. Sean, Wendell, and Keith had been walking

with them.

After the playroom, Mina guided them to a resting lounge near her office. Pointing

to the sofa seats and said, “Please take a
