Father and Son [1]

Chapter - 223

Rick strode briskly out of the hospital, his father trailing closely behind, his steps hesitant and uncertain. "Rick, wait!" his father called out, his voice tinged with concern.

Halting in his tracks, Rick turned to face his father, a sense of urgency etched in his features. "Just hold on. I will be back in a bit," he interjected, cutting off his father before he could say more.

"But, Rick—" his father attempted to protest, but Rick was already on the move again, striding away with purpose, leaving his father standing there, bewildered and anxious.

With a heavy sigh, Rick's father watched his son disappear down the corridor, a knot of worry forming in his stomach. He shifted on his feet, feeling torn between following Rick and giving him space.
