Mein Herz Brennt Für Dich

Chapter 120

I couldn't sleep at all. I was too worried that my dad had died. I didn't want to loose him. 

While Brenner was taking a nap, I heard someone knock on the front door. I opened it up and saw Peter standing there with Grayson and Keira. 

"Hi!" I smiled at them and hugged them and whispered, "Brenner's sleeping, so you have to be quiet."

"Okay!" They both ran inside and I looked up at Peter. 

"Are you alright?" He asked me. 

"I'm fine," I rubbed the tears off of my cheeks. 

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Peter."

"What's wrong?"

"My dad had a heart attack. He's at the hospital right now (he arrived yesterday) and I haven't had an update on him. I've been trying to call Johnny ever since this morning, but he hasn't answered me."

"Why would you call Johnny?"

"He's at the hospital with my mom and dad."

"I'm sorry, Rilla."

"It's alright."

"Is he still alive?"

"I don't know," I cried again. "That's why I'm worried!"

He hugged me and rubbed my back. I missed his hugs-he had the best hugs. It was wrong of me to say, but I was married to Peter once. I felt the warmth of his breath against the top of my head and absorbed his touch. 

As he let go of me, he wiped my tears. "He'll be alright, okay?"

"Okay," I smiled. "Thanks for that."

"You're welcome. I hope he's alright."

"Me too."

"Bye, Rilla."

"Bye, Peter," I shut the door and walked over to the couch to find Grayson talking to someone on my phone. "Who are you talking to?"

"Here she is," Grayson handed me the phone. 

I grabbed it from him. "Hello?"

"Rilla?" Johnny asked. 

"Oh my God!" I gasped. "What's the update?!"

"Are any of your kids sleeping?"

"Brenner is. Why?"

"Do you know anyone that could watch your kids?"

"Why?"

"I need you to come to the hospital."

"Why?" I immediately became worried. 

"Because we have news."

"Good or bad?"

"Just come and I'll tell you."

"Okay," I hung up the phone and called Emily. "Emily?"

"Yeah?" She asked. 

"Can you watch my kids for me?" I walked into the office and explained to her what was going on. 

"Of course, Rilla! I'll be right there!"

"Thanks," I put my phone in my pocket and walked back out. "How was your time with your dad?"

"Fun," Keira smiled. 

"What'd you guys do?"

"We went to school," Grayson replied. "And then during the weekend we just watched the T.V. most of the time."
