In his eyes Urgency
Nora could sense the urgency in her mother's demeanour. "Mom, what's going on?" she asked, worry etching her voice. Her mom hesitated, then finally spoke, "It's your dad."Alarmed, Nora rushed to her parents' room. There, she found her father lying on the bed. "Dad, what happened?" she asked, her voice full of concern. Her father weakly explained, "I fell from the ladder while trying to put up some items at the shop."Tears welled up in Nora's eyes. "How did this happen?" she questioned, her heart sinking. Her father, wincing in pain, responded, "It's the pain, dear. My hip has been bothering me for some time. While I was on the ladder, the pain intensified, and I lost my balance." The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Nora as she tried to comfort her father in distress. Nora was both shocked and worried. "Dad, we need to get you to the hospital," she said urgently, her mind racing with what needed to be done. She glanced at her mom, who looked equally concerned.

She felt a sting pain in her chest, she could not believe her dad was dead. She walked out to the corridor. Nora's tears continued to flow as her mother found her in the hospital corridor. She held her sleeping daughter close to her chest and struggled to speak. "How did it happen?" Nora choked out between sobs, her mind racing with dark thoughts.Her mother, realizing the misunderstanding, gently comforted her daughter. "Your dad is alive," she said, her voice wavering but filled with relief, "he's being prepped for surgery. I thought he was gone too when I first saw the empty bed, but he's getting the help he needs."Nora's fear began to subside as the weight of dread was lifted off her shoulders. She nodded, tears still glistening in her eyes, and held her mother close."But Mom," Nora said, her voice trembling, "why is he
In his eyes Confrontation
"I wanted to see you," Alexander replied with a charming smile, "I thought these might brighten your day."The roses were undeniably lovely, their vibrant red petals an exquisite contrast to the awkwardness of the situation. Nora hesitated, torn between politeness and the impending date with Greg. She managed a weak smile and accepted the bouquet, trying to find the right words."I appreciate the gesture, Alexander," Nora said, "but I'm actually in the middle of something important right now. I have a prior engagement."Alexander's smile wavered slightly, and he glanced past Nora as if searching for clues to her earlier excitement. "Oh, I see. I didn't realize you had plans. Maybe another time, then?"Nora nodded, her heart heavy with the complication of the situation. "Yes, another time would be better. I'll call you."With that, she closed the door, the bouquet of roses now a reminder of the tangled threads of her personal life. Nora took a deep breath, pushing her mixed emotions as

Alexander replied, his gaze steady, "I understand why you might think that, but no, it's not about buying forgiveness. I genuinely want to make amends and be there for Nora and Graycen. The surgery was the right thing to do, and I'm not expecting anything in return. I'm well aware of the mistakes I've made in the past."Nora's father studied Alexander's face for a moment, assessing the sincerity in his words. After a pause, he nodded, "Well, actions speak louder than words. Time will tell."Nora's mom got up, "deserts anyone?", Amanda asked in a bid to release the tension in the room. "Let me help you get it", Nora said as she got up and followed her mother to the kitchen. "Mom why is Dad making everything weird", Nora asked as she brought out the cake knife. "Your father is right in asking him questions. He can't just waltz in here like nothing happened, hoping to pick up from where he left off", Amanda stated. The conversation shifted back to lighter topics, and they all continue
