Jeslyn wouldnt have her breakfast at home, adamant about joining Jessie instead. The little girl reassured Jessie, Dads gonna pull through. Hes gonna wake up and you two will get married, youll see.
Jessie just gave her a look.
Jeslyn, now focusing on her breakfast, muttered, Youre not being honest. You actually have feelings for my dad.
Jessie wasnt in the mood to clarify things to the kid.
Just then, the person in the bed stirred, calling out in a raspy voice, Jeslyn?
Dad!
Jeslyn rushed to her fathers bedside instantly.
The girl, who always claimed she wasnt scared of anything, was now crying.
Albert kised Jeslyn and gently said, Im just tired.
Clinging to his neck, Jeslyn whispered, You gotta cut down on the sleeping then, or Jessie might change her mind about marrying you.
Albert let out a soft Laugh.
Glancing at Jessie, he felt comforted to see she was still by his side.
Hed been trying so hard, scared shed leave if he gave in.
Noticing she hadnt left, Albert figured she might be warming up to him.

Elsie was thoughtful. Spotting him awake, she promptly offered, Mr. Waston, do you need the bathroom? Should I get the nurse?
Albert wasnt keen on troubling a nurse. He didnt think he was so old as to need one.
Picking up on the vibe, Elsie cleared her throat and suggested, Then Ill escort Miss Jeslyn to Dr. Nguyen. He recommended a check-up today.
Albert nodded, gently touching Jeslyns hair, and inquired, Have you had any nightmares lately?
Jeslyn shook her head no.
Albert felt relieved, letting Elsie take Jeslyn away.
With them out of the way, he called out to Jessie, Help me up, will you? I need the bathroom.
Jessie agreed to look after him, so she didnt hesitate. She walked over and lifted the covers But as she pulled back the covers, she froze, caught off guard by the sight.
Albert looked a tad embarrassed, muttering, Its just a natural bodily reaction.
As she helped him sit, she couldnt help but blurt out, But youre a patient! This aint normal.
