Mrs. Swift who was watching the father and daughter pair kept on smiling at them, sometimes she is even jealous of her husband because of the way he is close to their daughter, they talk about everything together whether it is food, fashion, football, movies, life and even what's better.
to keep it short she is her daddy's girl.
''So tell me now how is my angel doing'', Mr. Swift asks Vivian who was acting spoilt after seeing him, the thing Is he can't blame her after all he was the one that spoils her rotten since she was born. Vivian was born with a heart condition, the doctors were even surprised that she survived when she was born and they said even if she managed to survive she will not be able to take leave for a long time, they are even surprised that she made it to the age of eighteen that she is now, but now her condition has been deteriorating and she might leave them anytime from now.
Vivian wasn't able to leave her life like any other child, because of her condition, she didn't even play like other children do and also doesn't even have childhood memories except the ones of her always being in the hospital all the time because of her condition. That's why he always spoils his daughter very much all the time.
Mrs. Swift who was looking at her husband who is deep in thought even though he was talking to Vivian she know that he must be thinking about Vivian and her condition right now, of the fact that she might leave them any moment from now with tears weld up in her eyes.
Mom are you OK?'' Vivian who was busy chatting with her dad ask when she saw her mother's wet eyes.
''Of course am fine dear." Mrs.Swift said.
''You are not and if you are then why are you crying." Vivian who was looking at her mom said.
''Dear mom is just too happy." Mrs. Swift said.
''Too happy, if you really too happy then why are you crying? said Vivian with her moist eyes.
''Well you see dear Mom is happy to see how strong you are, I mean how your health is getting better and you are not weak like you always are all the time anymore". Mrs. Swift lied to Vivian about the reason behind her tears.
Vivian who already knows the reason why her mother was crying knows that she lied to her so that she won't make her sad but what her parents don't know is that she is already a were of the fact that she may die and leave them any moment from now.
''if that's really the case then come and give me the best and tightest hug ever'', Vivian said with her hands wide open smiling at her mom.
''Ok, dear I will come and give you the tightest hug ever''. Mrs. Sswift said and stood up to give her daughter the best and tightest hug that she wanted.
Mr. Swift who was watching the mother and daughter dual that are being lovey-dovey in front of him couldn't help but smile and a teardrop from the corner of his eyes.
Vivian who her parents thought was sleeping, is listening to the conversation they were having.
''look at the face of my poor innocent child why? what has she done wrong that she can't leave a normal life just like other children?
Why?'' Mrs. Swift who kept crying and sobbing in her husband's arms said.
''Darling please don't cry anymore what if Vivian wakes up and sees you like this, so please don't cry and break like this because she really will not be happy to see you so down you know that right? Please don't cry anymore please."
Mr. Swift said to his wife who kept sobbing in his arms. He doesn't know why he is having this bad feeling and now come to the uneasiness in his heart which he knows is surely related to Vivian who is sleeping and looking so skinny in her hospital gown in this hospital bed. how he really wishes right now to have some kind of power so that he can take her out of this hospital and take that illness out of his daughter and give her the normal life she deserves. He knows he is the pillar of his family and he really has to be strong and not fall weak right now. and he has to continue to be strong just like he had always been that's why he must make sure to console his wife and make her stop crying before Vivian Wake up and see her like this.
Mr. Swift was consoling his wife when they hear the sound of Vivian
Hospital door has been opened and the doctor came into view.
''Doc it's you." Mr.Swift said.
''Yeah! it's me, I come to check on my favorite patient." doctor Vince said while smiling and looking in the direction of Vivian who they thought was sleeping. "But it seems I will have to come back later. And turn around to face Mr. Swift.'' Can I have a moment with you please" he said.
''Yes of course doc." Mr.Swift said to the doctor and turn around to say something to his wife. ''Darling I will just talk to doctor Vince and be right back, just stay and watch over Vivian okay?
''Ok." Was her reply to him.
After talking to his wife Mr. Swift turn to face the doctor and said. ''shall we doc''.
Doctor Vince nodded and smile at him and said, "Yes please."
Meanwhile, Mrs.Swift who was watching the doctor and her husband while they leave the room was praying in her heart hand for the doc to have some good news for them and said her baby girl is progressing and not deteriorating and getting worse like earlier.
*******
While seating down on his chair doctor Vince gestured to Mr. Swift with his hand and said. "Please have a seat."
''Thank you", Mr. Swift said to him and continue. "doc please tell me there is some good news, my daughter will make it right?''
Doctor Vince exhaled and start explaining to Mr.Swift what Vivian's new report said." Mr. Swift, I really wish I can that but unfortunately no. because Vivian's new report is really not good but instead she is getting worse. What I mean to say here is that Vivian's condition is deteriorating worse than before. And she doesn't have too much time left anymore, I mean she might leave...."
Doctor Vince stopped in the middle and did not finish his words after seeing how distraught Mr. Swift is.
''Don't worry about me doc you can continue please''. Mr. Swift said who knew that doctor Vince stopped midway with his explanation right now after seeing how distraught he is.
''Ok." Was what doctor Vince said after hearing Mr. Swift.
''As was explaining earlier she doesn't have too much time anymore and will leave you guys any moment from now''. Doctor Vince finishes his explanation.
If there is something he wishes right now as a person is for the doctors to be able to save Vivian so that she can leave her life and be happy just like she deserves. But it's impossible. He only signed full of sadness in his eyes with grieve for the Swift family because he really knows how much they suffered and how they tried their best and traveled all over so different countries in search of how Vivian can be cured, but there was nothing can be done for her to be saved. And he has to give them this bad news whether he likes it or not.
