Hospital Bed

Standing in the parking lot of Silvershore hotel, Mr. William’s body trembled as he stared at the main road, anxiously waiting for Elijah, his mind running wild with thoughts about little Dan’s safety.

A couple of minutes later, a Mercedes that he immediately recognized pulled into the parking lot, coming to a stop a slight distance away from him.

When the door opened he saw his daughter-in-law rush from the car, and then she hurried into his arms, wrapping her hands around him tightly as he held onto her desperately.

As soon as Dr. Williams pulled away from her, she cried out, “Is Dan-” “Elijah ordered that we should wait here for him.” Dr.

William said between shaking gasps, trying to keep tears away as he looked at her worried face.

“He’s going to bring him.” “We should call the police -” “Let’s not act irrational, Julie.

We should at least wait on him and do as he says until he gets here.”

“What if he doesn’t?”

“Let’s not pray for the worst.”

Hugging onto her body, Julie anxiously stared at the road, wanting so desperately to call the cop, and yet she waited.

A moment later, she saw a silver Ford approaching them, and tears immediately started forming in her eyes.

When Dr.

Williams finally saw his son getting out of the car and running in their direction with a worried look on his face, a lump formed in his throat.

But he couldn’t find it in himself to cry, even though his emotions overwhelmed him so completely.

“Dad…” Vance whispered as he hugged his father tightly.“ About Dan… have you called the police?”

“We can’t, Van… Let’s wait a bit longer.” Dr.

William said as he wiped away a single tear.
