The Bait

The next morning, Kenzie visited her father in the hospital to have breakfast with him.

"You're looking better dad," Kenzie energetically greeted as she kissed her father's cheek and hugged him.

"I feel much better too…" her father answered with a smile.

"Let's have breakfast together. We have to make sure you condition your body well so you can have the surgery immediately," Kenzie stated as she prepared the table.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" she asked when she noticed how her father was staring intently at her.

His father shook his head and with a cheeky grin said, "If only I knew that knowing the truth would change you like this… I would have said it earlier…"

Kenzie chuckled and said, "I know right. Hmph! You underestimate me too much dad! Don't you know that you're the most important person in my life and I will do anything for you just not to lose you?"
