Liam sat beside her on the bed and caressed her head.

“Stop crying. You’ll get a terrible headache.” He told her.

She didn’t say anything. She just got up and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back and kissed the top of her head.

“You should eat something. You haven’t eaten anything since breakfast and it is almost nighttime.” He told her.

“I don’t want to eat.” She told him in a low, sad tone.

“You have to eat, love.” He told her.

She shook her head.

“Well, if you won’t eat, then I won’t eat as well.” He told her.

She wiped her tears away and looked at her father with puffy eyes.

She didn’t know how to react or what she should say to him. Zack realised what he had just done and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn’t know what he should say without making the situation more weird.

She was just about to tell him her answer when her doctor came in. “Good, you're awake. We need to run a few tests before we decide if you can get discharged or not.” The doctor told her. Zack’s head fell in annoyance. ‘And you couldn’t come a few seconds later.’ He thought. She saw Zack’s expression and pursed her lips to hide her smile. “I’ll be back.” She told him. He nodded and gestured for her to leave. She tried to control her laughter and went with the doctor. She was on her way when she accidentally bumped into a guy.
