Now, she felt worried. She would not forgive herself if something happened to her father!

"I feel bad that I told him now..." Scarlett said when Xander stood beside her. "I should have to wait. Wait until he feels well!"

Xander placed his hand on her shoulder. Then he says, "No need to feel that way! Your father deserves to know about Nicole's condition. He deserved to see her for the last time..." He said calmly and squeezed her shoulder gently.

"But, Xander, I didn't tell my dad that Nicole was dead. Should I tell him now or not!?" Scarlett looked up to meet Xander's eyes. At this moment, she felt lost. "...I'm afraid it will trigger his relapse!"

"You should wait. Or you can consult Grandpa Robert..." Xander said. He didn't know how to deal with this situation either.

"Oh, you're right! I should have asked his permission first..." She scolded herself for forgetting Grandpa Robert.
