Rachel only realized it now that Tyler had gotten the call from a doctor earlier, while she hadn’t. If the call had been from Xavier, then it all made sense.

Tyler stood there with his hands in his pockets and a blank expression on his face.

“Come on in.”

Xavier entered with a nurse, joining Rachel and the others. Jim was already awake and, upon seeing Rachel, instinctively tried to sit up.

“Rachel…”

“Dad, just stay lying down. Whatever you want to say, we can talk about it later.”

Jim listened and lay back down obediently.

Rachel turned to Xavier. “Dr. Jenkins, how’s my dad doing now?”

“There’s been some improvement. Though the overall condition still isn’t great, the fact that he’s awake means we can start planning next steps. Plus, Tyler reached out to a top specialist overseas who happens to be an expert in your father’s condition. We’ll go over the treatment plan once it’s

finalized.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“If there’s time, take your dad out for some light walks. Moderate activity will help with recovery.”

“Alright, thank you so much.”

Rachel finally felt like she could breathe a little easier. She glanced at Tyler without meaning to.

She hadn’t expected that he would go out of his way to find a doctor for Jim.

Most likely, it had to do with Melanie. Rachel remembered that, for a while, Melanie had practically seen Tyler as a son.

But back then, she was too wrapped up in school to pay attention or ask about it.

Xavier looked at Tyler. “Since you’re already at the hospital, why not get a checkup too? It’s been a long time since your last one. You need to take care of yourself.”

“Alright.” Tyler followed him out of the room.

Now, it was just Rachel and Jim in the room.

She pulled over a chair and sat by the bed while holding his hand. “Dad, why didn’t you tell me all this sooner?”

Jim still looked pale, but his voice was noticeably stronger than before.

“To be honest, I didn’t plan to ever say anything. It would only hurt your sister. I thought that if you could get things done with the recordings I gave you, then I could keep this buried.”

Rachel could see it now. If it weren’t for Sasha and Yvette’s scheming, Jim probably would’ve taken this secret to his grave.

Sadly, all his effort meant nothing to Yvette and Sasha. Those two were blinded by money.
