“Well, I’m doing okay, just a mild headache.” She gave another hopeful smile. Who was this man and why did he look worse than the people she first assumed were her parents? Was she mistaken? Perhaps he was her real father and those boys were her brothers. She quickly dismissed the thought as soon as it came, he would have come earlier if he was her father. She stole a glance at the boys and noticed that one of them was glaring at her like she committed an offence and she quickly looked down. It wasn’t like it was her fault she had an accident.
“That’s good to hear then. We wish you a quick recovery.” He gave a quick reply with a small sad smile and instantly directed his attention towards her assumed parents
“Mr Johnson, Mrs Johnson, sorry my wife couldn’t make it. You know, with Debby and all. She’s still trying to come to terms with it.” Sarah noticed he winced a bit at the statement and she looked from her assumed parents to the man in confusion.
“We understand. We’re deeply sorry about her. Thanks for coming, we appreciate it very much” her assumed father spoke up, looking at the man with pain written all over his face.
