"A seizure? What the hell are you even saying?" I started hyperventilating as I clutched onto my phone with my left hand and held Jason's hand with my right. Jason rubbed my back comfortingly as I stayed on call with Jo, holding back tears and asking about the whereabouts of the hospital in which daddy were admitted.
"We are currently at UCSF, j-just please get here, I-I'm scared.... I don't know what to do." Jo snivelled as she spoke in the most heartbreaking voice possible.
"D-don't worry, we'll be there....." I reassured her.
I put down the phone and looked at Jason straight in the eye. I let the hot tears that had welled up in my eyes flow out openly.
"W-what's wrong baby?" he continued to rub my back.
"D-d-d-daddy." I sobbed. It was the only word I was able to get out without completely falling apart.
Jason hugged me and wrapped me in his arms.
"Quickly change love, we gotta go." he whispered holding my hair in his hands.
I shook profusely as I put on my dress. Negative thoughts rushed to my head in an instant.
"What is going to happen?"
"Is daddy okay?"
"What if he dies?"
The last thought alone was enough to make me fall to the floor in pain. Jason picked me up and helped me to the car. The whole car ride went by with me crying inconsolably. As we reached he hospital I ran in without taking a single breath on the way. Reaching the waiting room, I quickly spotted Jasper and Jacob crying silently. Jo was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, did you see your father?" Jason asked me giving me an arm rub.
Jacob and Jasper just ran up to the both of us and hugged us tight when they saw us. Oh dear..... They weren't the affectionate sort of people. Something was really wrong. After an eternity worth of embraces, I ran through the halls in attempt to find Jo. But then I saw it..... Daddy. He was being held by four nurses as a doctor injected him with a liquid which made him calm down. I just stood there, watching them stabilize him as I touched the small glass opening in the door. He was still in his wedding tux and Tears streamed down my cheeks. Just five hours ago, he and Jo read out their vows, their promises to each other..... and now?
I made my way to every corner of the hospital, till I finally sneaked a glance into an office. The door was translucent so the woman inside caught me staring.
"Er.....eh one moment please...." she said to the woman seated in a chair in a ridiculously poofy white dress.
"May I help you?" the woman spoke to me as she opened the door.
As the door opened, I saw Jo in the chair, snivelling and crying her heart out.
"Yes... Alex Reinfield..... Room number 64 Section B in the east wing.....Would you mind telling me something about his condition?" I spoke breathlessly, relieved that finally I would get some answers
"Please take a seat." the woman directioned me towards a vacant seat.
I sat down, still in shock, heaving with my chest expanding uncontrollably.
"Can I know your relation to this patient?" she asked sternly.
"Yes....uh.. He's my father." I looked at Jo and inched my seat closer to hers to hold her hand.
"Ah yes.....You must be the daughter he talks about all the time." Her tone quickly softened.
"All the time?What the hell did she mean?"
