“Piper,” Dad mutters as I rush to his bedside.

I’ve waited for three hours to see him, so I can’t help my dramatic, overzealous entrance.

I’m happy to finally see him, but looking at him is heartbreaking. He looks so weak, and the tubes attached to his wrists and nose highlight how serious his condition is.

“Dad, I’m so sorry,” I rasp, willing my tears away again. He’ll feel worse if he sees me crying.

“No, it’s me who is sorry.” He reaches for my hand and takes it.

There are so many things I want to ask him, but I won’t waste the time we have. The doctors gave me ten minutes because he needs to rest.

“I messed everything up. Now this,” he adds. “Piper, I’m so ashamed of myself. I know how much this is going to cost, and I don’t want you to do anything. I don’t.”

I shake my head at him. “You want me to let you die?”

“I want you to live. God knows what more you’ll have to do to get that money, and you’re already paying for my errors. You suffered so much with your mother. I never wanted you to go through it again.”

“Dad, I won’t lose you. I’ll get the money.”

“No, I—”

“I mean it, Dad. I will get the money. Please, just focus on getting better.”

I would be a fool to think of pride at a time like this.

I’m going to accept Chad’s offer.
