Covered in blood, Ashley fell to the ground. Helen and Tony stood still, staring at each other and clutching the gun.

“No.” Knox gasped. Tears sprang to his eyes as he rushed past Helen and Dr Tony.

He pulled Ashley's limp body into his arms and sobbed as he rocked her.

“Ashley.” He gently tapped her left cheek. “Wake up my daughter, please.” Mr Knox cried.

Everything paled and only Ashley existed. Knox copied every bit of her face into his memory. Her pale pink lips slightly parted. Her sharp nose stood still, not breathing. Her long lashes fanned over her rosy cheeks slowly losing its color.

“My princess. Vanessa. Please wake up.” He begged, calling her by her birth name for the first time.

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he clutched to her tightly. Hugging and pulling her into his embrace. He released her, lifted his hand to tenderly palm her face. Blood imprinted his fingerprints on her face.

He lifted his hands, trembling at the sight and the thought that she may bleed t

    Ashley disengaged from the hug. She watched the intruder spy the hallway ensuring he wasn’t seen entering the room. Mr Knox turned, following Ashley’s gaze, he watched the sneaky behaviour of the grown man. Amusement danced in his eyes. “Aren’t you too old to be playing hide and seek?” DJ paused. Caught, he shut the door ignoring the loud groaning sound. Sheepishly, he turned to face them. “I just really wanted to see her.” He confessed, scratching the back of his head and hiding his face from the old man. In the heat of the whole situation, Mr Knox had instructed him not to go close to his daughter. But seeing him do this, somewhat softened his heart. Ashley fixed her eyes on DJ, smiling at his awkward stance. “Come in.” She sounded excited. “I guess that’s my cue to leave.” Mr Knox said, rising from the bed. “No no sir. I could come back.” “It’s fine. I was leaving anyway.” Knox responded, not missing the tingle of excitement in Ashley's voice. He turned to her and spoke i

    Pamela helped Ashley sit up. She worked the adjuster on the gurney to allow Ashley to get into a very comfortable position. “Thank you.” Ashley rasped. “How long have I been out?” “Only two days.” “Two days is a long time.” “You've been out for longer. I think you're improving.” Ashley chuckled, wincing as the action jolted pain through her. Pamela smiled at her. “Easy.” Ashley looked around. “I thought my dad was here. How is he? Was he injured?” She had seen Mr Knox when she had groggily opened her eyes earlier. Now she began to wonder if it had only been a dream. Pamela shook her head. “He was here and he's not wounded. He's talking to the doctor. He'll be back shortly.” Ashley looked over herself. Except for the IV feeding her veins, she had no wounds. Pamela sat beside her. She placed her palm over Ashley's hand. Reading the question on Ashley's mind, she spoke. “You weren't shot. You fainted from the shock, coupled with the stress from the days before.” Ashley sq

    Mr Fox’s behaviour set off suspicion in Helen. Something was off. She sensed it. Her instincts never stirred her wrong.Helen looked straight into his eyes, noting the secret he was failing desperately to hide. “You know.” It was a statement. She wasn't asking him.Helen glanced over to her sister. “You told him, didn't you?”Mrs Fox parted her lips and silence spilled through. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know what her sister was talking about either.“You just couldn't keep your damn mouth shut! You had to tell him!” Helen piped.“I- I didn't…” Mrs Fox tried to defend.“She didn't tell me anything. I walked past Rachel's old room and I overheard them talking. You murderer!” Helen’s gaze shifted to Mr Fox's face. She stared intently at him. Her eyes grew large as realization set in. “You called the cops.”She yanked her arm free from his hold and tried to scurry away. Mr Fox followed in pursuit and grabbed her hand again. This time, more fiercely. “I'm sick and tired of

    Mrs Fox made dinner. As much as they pretended it didn't exist, the tension in the air was intense, hot and piping. Helen stepped out of the guest room to find Rachel and Mrs Fox at the table. Rachel and her mother exchanged nervous glances. Mrs Fox smiled awkwardly at her sister as walked into the dining room. “You freshened up.” Mrs Fox stated. “Yes. The water was warm and refreshing.” Helen replied. She didn't mix the secret communication shared between mother and daughter. She passed a look to Rachel. “Rachel, how are you feeling?” Helen's question had more to it than her mere words. Rachel, like the child Helen remembered, responded in a small voice. “Better Aunt.” Helen lifted her gaze to her sister. Mrs Fox shifted nervously. “I gave her some medicine for the fever.” “That's good.” Helen glanced over the table. “This looks delicious.” She commented, pulling her seat closer and setting herself to feast. The half-baked smile formed over Mrs Fox's face again. “Thank you

    Thomas walked down the hospital hallway towards Pamela and Mr Knox. Pamela jolted up from her seat to meet Thomas. Mr Knox remained seated. His face, sad, dull and crestfallen. He seemed to be spending a lot of time in the hospital. Having just left here himself, he was back here again for his daughter and friend. Thomas hugged Pamela and gently kissed her forehead. “Mr Knox.” Thomas greeted the older man. Mr Knox acknowledged his greeting with a nod, and then continued staring at the door opposite him. Thomas pulled Pamela two feet away. “How is Ashley?” Thomas asked Pamela in a low tone. “She’s fine. She’s responding to treatment. The doctor said she needs a lot of bed rest.” Pamela glanced pitifully at Mr Knox. “But Dr Tony isn't doing well.” She added in a sympathetic tone. “Do you think this is a good time to talk to him?” He followed her gaze, glancing over to Mr Knox before returning to looking at her face. “Talk to me about what?” Mr Knox answered. Startled, they slowl

    “Helen?” Mrs Fox furrowed her brows in surprise as she answered the door. “Rachel?” The surprise on her face deepened when she saw her daughter follow behind her sister. “Where are you two coming from?” she looked behind them expecting another guest. “Did Bruce come to see you?” She asked, recalling Bruce had come in a frantic search for Rachel. And the last time she spoke to Rachel over the phone, they had decided to fix things together. Rachel froze. A tremor overtook her. She tried futilely to still her shaking body. The bloody image of Bruce materialized before her. “Rachel, are you alright?” Mrs Fox asked in concern. She shut the door in a haste and was quickly by Rachel's side. Her protective hand draped over her daughter. She passed a look to Helen for some sort of explanation. “Rachel is unwell.” Helen offered. “Oh my!” Mrs Fox placed her palm over Rachel’s forehead. “You’re burning up!” Rachel could only shiver. The fever and the shock had her tongue tied. Docilely, s
