“Wiona, what are we going to do?”
“If Dad dies… I won’t have anyone left in the world.”
Wiona felt her heart drop.
Adler was no saint. When he was younger, he was violent, always taking out his anger on his family. Molly’s mom couldn’t take it anymore. One morning, she just left, leaving Molly behind, and never looked back. From then on, it was just Molly and Adler.
But Adler still didn’t appreciate her. He’d hit Molly, too. He even believed Alona’s lies. When Molly got into Stonehill College, Adler didn’t want to let her keep studying. He almost married her off to some guy Alona picked, just for the money. If Wiona hadn’t stepped in, Molly’s whole life would have gone down the drain.
Molly hated her father.
But she couldn’t just watch him die.
They were each other’s only family left. Molly could live with Adler going to jail, but not with him dying like this.
Molly’s crying made Wiona’s heart ache even more.
Were they too late?
They reached the hospital. The ER staff was already waiting outside. As soon as they got there, Adler was rushed inside.
Molly’s eyes were red. She kept wiping away her tears and started to pray, her voice trembling.
Wiona went straight to the doctor’s office and found the attending physician.
“Please, do everything you can to save the man who just came in. We’ll cover any cost, no matter what.”
She bowed deeply. “I’m begging you.”
The doctor looked startled, and when he saw who was with her, he shot up from his chair.
“You’re too kind, miss. Saving lives… that’s our job. We’ll do everything we can.”
A call came from the ER, urgent.
“The patient’s crashing.”
“Severe head trauma.”
“Multiple fractures, everything’s a mess.”
“Blood pressure keeps dropping…”
“It’s not looking good. There’s not much more we can do.”
The doctor’s face turned white. He rushed out.
Hearing all this, Wiona felt panic rising inside her. She started to run after him.
Conrad caught her arm.
“Take it easy.”
He glanced at her stomach.
