Maybe I'm Amazed~Threequel to I Wanna Be Your Man~

Chapter 15

Alice's P.O.V

That afternoon, we all made our way to the hospital. When we got there, Mabel went up to the front desk to talk to the nurse. We stood there, waiting to go see dad. I had Mary in arms and I would stroke her hair every so often when I got nervous or scared. Paul sensed whenever I was because he would rub my back.

"Everything will be okay. Think of how happy he'll be to see you" Paul said. I let a weak smile show.

"Mommy, why are we at the hospital?" Ethel spoke up.

"We're here to see grandpa" I said

"Is grandpa sick?" Ethel asked

"No but he's really hurt. He's here so he can heal" I said. Mabel walked over to us.

"We can go see him but there's going to be police there that want to talk to you" Mabel said

"Why are the police here?" I asked

"They'll talk about that when we get to his room" Mabel said

When we got to my dad's room, the state he was in wanted to make me cry. Beside him stood a police man.

"Daddy?" I said

"Is that my pumpkin pie?" dad said. His voice sounded really terrible.

"It's me daddy" I said. He tried to turn his head but he couldn't due to the neck brace he was wearing.

"Is Paul there with you?" dad asked. Paul walked up beside me with Ethel, holding her hand.

"I'm here dad" Paul said

"And how about my beautiful granddaughters?" dad asked

"They're both here" I said. I could see dad smiled.

"Can I see them?" dad asked. Ethel let go of Paul's hand and then walked over to dad. I gave Mary to Paul and he walked over to my dad. The police man walked over towards me.

"Mrs. McCartney?" the officer said

"Yes officer?" I said

"Can I please talk to you out in the hall please?" the officer asked. I nodded. The officer stepped out into the hall and I followed him.

"What's this all about?" I said

"I don't think that this was an accident. We looked into it and there was no impaired driving involved" the officer said.

"So, you're saying that someone did this to my dad on purpose?" I said

"It seems like it" the officer said

"You wouldn't possibly have any leads on who might have done this" I asked

"Not yet. That's the other thing I wanted to ask you. Do you know of any person that might have it in for your dad, you or any other family member?" the officer asked. I thought of one woman in particular.

"I know this one woman" I said

"Who?" the officer asked.

"Her name is Nellie Thomas. She and my dad used to date but he ended things with her when he found out that she was with him for money. Nellie didn't like me from the first moment I met her" I said
