Mine novel Chapter 60

Kimberly’s eyes fluttered open but a bright light caused her to shut them back.

“What’s that?” She wondered, trying to open her eyes again.

She repeated the process three times before her eyes adjusted to the bright light. She glanced at her surrounding, trying to figure out where she was.

Where the hell I’m I? This isn’t my bedroom, neither is it Roy’s or Hugh’s.

Her heartbeat quickens at the thought of those two names, as the memories of the war came flooding back making it difficult for her to breathe. The sound of something beeping and her dad rushing to her side, pressing a button with a worried look was the last thing she heard and saw before going unconscious again.

Kimberly woke up again, this time, to the sound of the beeping beside her. She realized she was still in the same place. When she tried to sit up, she noticed tubes were attached to her body, that’s when she realized that she was actually in the hospital.

“Let me help you.” She heard someone say. She turned towards the direction of the voice and saw her dad.

He stood up from the recliner he was previously sitting on and helped her to sit up, placing pillows behind to make her comfortable. When he felt she was comfortable enough, he settled on the seat beside her bed and took her small hand in his, stroking her hair with his free hand as he stared adoringly at his beautiful daughter.

Kimberly closed her eyes to enjoy her dad’s touch. Gosh, Has she missed him!

“I’m.. sorry.” She suddenly apologized, breaking the silence.

He deserved an apology after being lied to about her whereabouts. He deserved more than an apology because he trusted her with his whole heart, not once did he doubt whatever she told him. He was a loving father, the best anyone could ever wish for. But she, she was a terrible daughter who took advantage of her dad’s trust.

If only she could turn back the hands of time, she would never had lied to her dad, that way none of the things she went through would have happened. This is all her fault, she was to blame for everything that happened.

“Hey, hey princess. Please, don’t cry.” Her dad cooed, making it more difficult for her to feel less guilty.

“I’m so sorry dad… I-I s-shouldn't have a-agreed to go on that trip. I-I didn’t mean to l-lie to you. All of this is my f-fault.” She sobbed, stuttering in the process.

“Shhh, princess. You are not to blame for anything.. although I’m mad at you for disobeying me…” Mr. Wright quietly said while soothing her.
