Chapter 87. Light Of Righteousness
Bernard was still gently consoling Cassandra, urging her to stop crying, when her phone suddenly started ringing.
Sniffing back tears, she picked up the call, and to her surprise, she saw her father’s name flashing on the screen.
"Hello, Dad. Good evening," Cassandra said softly as she answered the call.
"I’m at the reception area of the Celtic Hospital. Where are you?" Her father’s deep, familiar voice came through the phone.
Cassandra’s eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively turned to Bernard, her expression filled with surprise.
"My dad is here... at the reception," she whispered to him, quickly wiping her tears as she began walking toward the hospital entrance. Bernard followed closely behind her.
As soon as they reached the reception area, Cassandra spotted her father seated on one of the chairs facing the hallway she had just come from.
The moment Mr. Ramsey saw his daughter approaching, he stood and met her halfway, his expression calm but filled with concern.
"I was informed by your mother that your friend Maria passed out in school. What’s her condition now?" Mr. Ramsey asked, his voice low and serious.
"Dad, she’s in a coma," Cassandra replied, struggling to keep her composure. "We’re just hoping she wakes up. I don’t want to lose Maria." Her voice cracked as fresh tears streamed down her face.
Mr. Ramsey pulled her into a comforting hug. "Calm down, Cassy. Don’t worry," he whispered. "She will pull through this. I believe it will be sooner than you think."
