The Endless love

Found

In the Cartwrights house. Hoss who was always hungry, woke up to have some food. As he was going to the stairs, he saw Adam's door opened. - Adam...? - He said as he put his head inside to take a look. In a second, Hoss stepped back. - P- Paaa!! - Hoss said as he finally saw that his brother was not there. Ben and Joe, who had been awakened by Hoss shouting, were angry, but just because they didn't know the reason. - Hoss, come on, if you wanted to have food this time of the night, you could just have it! Did you have to wake us up?? - Joe said as he touched his hair, really sleepy. - Hoss, what is that? - Ben asked also very sleepy. - Oh, Pa, I didn't wake you up without a reason!! It's Adam! He- He disappeared!! - Hoss said as he pointed to Adam's room. - Oh no, where would he be this time of the night?? - Ben said as he got even more worried. - And he is sick, he couldn't be walking around this way. - Joe said worried with his older brother. Ruth, who was with Adam, got her horse and took him home. They were almost there when Adam slowly opened his eyes, still dizzy. - W- Where am I? - He said as he tried to look around. - Going home, I found you in the woods. You have fever, and I think it's getting even worse. - Ruth said as she was worried too. - You- You saved me. - Adam said as he tried to smile, but he was too weak. - Yeah, maybe I did. But we're almost home, don't talk much, you're too weak. - Ruth said as she couldn't stop worrying. - R- Ruth, I - Adam tired to speak but he couldn't, and one more time, he was fainted. At the Ponderosa, Ben and the boys were going to get their hats when they heard a sound. It was like a horse. - Is that Adam?? - Hoss said. - It could be! - Joe said as the three of them rushed outside. But, Ruth had left. Adam was on the chair in the front of the house, weak and fainted. They could only see someone in the horse, going away and disappearing in the woods. - Adam!! Come on, boys! Let's get him inside the house!! - Ben said as he and the boys tried to help Adam to get up. As Adam was already laying in the couch, Ben had already realized that he had fever and that it was really bad. - Boys, we should get the doctor. - I will get him, pa. - Joe said as he ran outside to get the doctor. - Pa, do you think he'll be ok? - Hoss said as he helped his father to take care of Adam. - Yes, but we have to help him to get strong. - Ben said. As the doctor finished taking care of Adam, again, he called Ben and the boys aside and told them everything. - Boys, I don't know, I think he is too weak. He shouldn't have been out for too long. His body it's too weak for that! But now that he's here, he should rest a lot. I wish I could say more, but that's just it. He's weak and gotta he strong again. - The doctor said as he took his hat and walked away.
