Arnold's greatest treasure

The beauty awakes

Arnold hurried to the bus stop and jumped on the first bus to the Hospital. Meanwhile Helga was reading Arnold's poem continuously she couldn't get enough of it. Suddenly her father walked in her room.
Bob looked with shame in his eyes. Almost afraid to look at Helga, he sat next to her bed.
"It's good to see you awaken after so many days."
"It's good to be back, Bob" Replied Helga proud of herself.
"Helga, I want you to know I will try my best to make it up to you and.... your mother. All this is my fault."
"Don't beat yourself to hard Bob, Miriam shouldn't have been driving drunk in the first place but yes it's partially your fault."

Bob was quiet looking down.

"So, Miriam said you had left the house for good." Said Helga raising an eyebrow.

"I did but I was wrong, your mother told me that day she was going to admit herself to the rehab center and I didn't want to deal with the house and you alone for weeks. I yelled at her and walked out of the house." Bob was afraid to look at his daughter's eyes.

"Crimity Bob,  it's not  like I'm a small child that needs to be taken care off and I could have help you around the house. You're such a coward!" Helga was getting upset.

"I'm sorry Helga, but I'm here now."
Replied bob finally looking at his daughter's eyes.

"doi, I see that, but for how long?" Helga crossed her harms.

"I promised, I will help with your mother's rehabilitation and I will try my best to be a better father."

Helga looked at her father differently, Bob stood up and hugged her daughter. It was a hugged Helga had waited years for.

"How's Miriam?" Asked Helga
Bob was quiet...
"She is well, right?" Helga was worried looking at her father.
"Yes, she's good....she was ready to go home the next day. But she was arrested for driving while intoxicated among other charges, I hired a lawyer and the judge wants Miriam to complete the rehab program and get parenting classes."

"Well, as long has she gets better." Said Helga.

"Yes, but you won't be able to see her till she finishes the program." Said her father.

"You know Bob, you could use some parenting classes yourself." Suggested Helga

"The judge said that too, so I'm getting parenting classes too."
Said Bob looking ashamed

"Well cheer up Bob, you should learn something from those classes."
Said Helga

The nurse walked in to check on Helga.
"How you been feeling Helga?"
"I don't know I have a headache, it seems like it's getting worst" Said Helga touching her head.
"Okay Helga I'll let the Doctor know, so that he can give you something for the pain. Also your boyfriend is out in the waiting room." Said the nurse.

Helga's cheeks turned red "Ugh..." she was trying to say something, she felt so embarrassed the nurse had say that in front of her father.
"I met Arthur..." Bob was trying to explain.
"You mean Arnold!" Helga clarify.
"Yeah, Arnold I met him on the day of the accident, he's ah... a good guy, besides he saved your life, so don't be embarrassed and don't be so hard on him, well not yet anyways." Bob laughed. "I have to go anyways, I have a lot to do today I just wanted to see you first."

"Dad can you bring me some extra clothes next time. I hate hospital ropes and my cell phone?"
Asked Helga.
"Your cell phone was destroy but I'll get you another one soon. See you tomorrow Helga." Replied Bob as he left the room.

Helga turned to look at the nurse and ask with a stunned face. "How does Bob knows Arnold?"
"I believe the Doctor introduce Arnold to your father the day you came in and the entire staff knew what he did to saved your life." Replied the nurse has she was checking her vital signs.
"But who told Bob he was my boyfriend."
"The Doctor." Replied the nurse
"Yes, but who told the Doctor?" Asked Helga nervous.
"I don't know maybe the paramedics told him. I'm not sure, why is there a problem?"
