Elise was so touched when she saw the middle-aged man. She couldn't believe that she finally could see her father again. Tears slowly rolled down her face as she walked closer to Mr. Yok.
"Father?" Her voice was hoarse when she called out to him.
The older man turned in the direction of the voice and his eyes widened when he saw Elise and also noticed Loriel's presence. His face instantly beamed and a smile curved up on his face
He placed his book aside and tried to get up from his bed to approach Elise.
"Maddie! You've finally come to visit." His voice was hoarse and filled with longing.
"Yes, yes I have. I am here father," Elise said and ran up to his bed. She knelt in front of her father and smiled. "I'm terribly sorry that I wasn't able to come any sooner..."
Daniel York coughed lightly and took Elise's hand in his. He simply smiled at her. "I'm just glad you finally came here and that it seems like you're doing well."
