“It's father, he.. he's sick Abe." Tasha said after a few minutes of silence
"Sick?" Abe muttered with a frown. He's only been in Hero city for like 2 weeks and some days now, how fast does a person get sick? He was really confused.
"Yes, he's sick. He has prostate cancer, the doctor said it's stage 4." Tasha explained from the other, sniffing from time to time.
Cancer? Stage 4? Does that mean he didn't treat it on time before it spread all over?
That was definitely Mr. Fredrick, he does things that are not explainable, like not getting treated for a cancer that he might have known of.
Is that why he sent him off to Hero-city? He didn't want him around during his sick days? But why?
He didn't want to look vulnerable and weak in Abe's presence? How pathetic.
"So how is he now?" Abe asked, his voice devoid of any empathy or emotions
