Forced to love me

Chapter 5

TWO MONTHS LATER
after that night he left, and I didn't hear from him again, I tried calling him but got no reply. He kept his promise to repay me my money.  I woke up one morning and saw he had refunded my money, I got to know that his's mom chemotherapy was successful and shhadas been discharged. Now it's time to keep my part of the promise to him. I need to pay him a visit at his place to show him I've not forgotten him but instead, my eye has always been watching him.
I picked up my purse to leave when my phone rang, I took my phone out of my purse and looked at the screen it's an unknown number, I said and picked up the call. Hello, I answered.

Is this Miss Samantha, the caller asked.

Yes, I replied, who am I speaking with I asked confused.

Calling from the hospital, on behalf of Mr Rogers.

That's my dad.

Yes, we know, we called to let you know that your dad's health is getting worse.

What!, I had no idea my dad was at the hospital, how long has he been there I asked surprised.

For two months now, we've been trying our best to cure him but he kept getting worse day by day,  all he needed was support from family. At first, he didn't want to let you know but now, he doesn't have much time and he asked to see you.

I'll be right there, please send the hospital location to my line, and I'll be there.

Okay, miss, the caller said and ended the call.

I fell on my knees as the call ended, all this while my dad had been Ill, I knew nothing about it. I'm not a good daughter, I've been selfishly thinking about myself that I ignore others, I said in tears. My light up as a notification came in, I looked through it and picked up my bag to leave.
I walked out of the house in a hurry, I walked to the car and went in, I started the car and drove off.

I arrived and parked in front of the hospital, I came out of the car and rushed inside. I walked to the reception, I'm here for Mr Rogers, I asked the nurse at the reception.

Let me check our files to see if we have any patients by that name, she said as she went through the files.

Who is he to you, she asked.

My father.

You must be Samantha Rogers.

Yes

Follow me she said as she was done.

Okay, I said as she led me to a room, she opened the door and we both went in. I'll leave the both of you to talk, she said and walked out.

Tears filled my eyes as I saw my dad, lying there. It's now I noticed how pale and the weight he lost.
Dad, I called out to him as I went to stand beside him

He opened his eyes, you're here, I thought I'll never see you again, my baby.

Don't say that, you'll get better.

I don't think so.

Why didn't you tell me you were sick, I said as tears fell from my eyes.
