The Truth

"What happened? What did you do?" the captain asked, very much curious.

Ning kept to himself for a second, before coming out with the truth. Before he told him about the most important one, he needed to him about what Tima wanted.

Ning explained what he saw. He told the man that he knew what had happened and understood how his daughter felt because of what he could do. 

"Your daughter loves you so much, and seeing you sad and miserable is sad for her as well. All the time you were there, crying while you thought she couldn't see or hear you, she could. Ever since she started becoming sick again, she never saw you smile. That is all she really wants from you, a smile."

The captain took in a deep breath, finding it hard to contain his tears. He wiped them off his eyes but they kept piling up.

"I'm a failure of a father," he said. "My daughter died, and I couldn't save her. I couldn't find anyone to save her."
