The next day Chris set his plan in motion, It was 8am, so his father had already woken up and eaten his breakfast. He called James and the doctor to make sure everything was in place and ready to begin. Chris rushed downstairs as he called "father" with a loud voice. His father who was reading newspaper downstairs looked up to only see chris rushing down the stairs looking worried.

Whats the matter my boy?; his father asked.

James was coming to visit you but he had an accident on his way, he got admitted to a hospital. We have to go and check on him; Chris answered looking worried.

Well, what are you waiting for?; his father look at him with cold face indicating he was saying "let's go".

Ok let me get the car keys; Chris answered as he turned and smirked a bit before grabbing the keys.

As they were about to leave, someone spoke from behind them;

"i want to go see James too"; Beatrix said with a sulky voice.

Chris and Mr. Mark both turned to look at her. Mr. Mark just looked at her eyes and gestured her to come. They left the house and it took them 20min to get there but once they arrived, chris got down first and opened the door for his father. They rushed to the doctor's office, as they came in, Mr. Mark saw James standing in the office looking fine. He got confused and suddenly.

Am sorry father, i had to do this; Chris sad with a cold voice

What do mean chris?; Mr. Mark asked.

You are sick and i know you won't willingly come to the hospital with me, so i had to lie about James and the accident. I want you to take a test, to confirm if your lung disease is curable; chris spoke sincerely.

Mr. Mark just took a sharp gaze at Chris without saying a word he sat down on a chair in the doctors office and as he opened his mouth to talk he hesisted but he said it.

I have CYSTIC FIBROSIS and i didn't treat it early, now its already too late for me to start taking the cure. The doctor said i have only 5-6 months to live, thats why i want you to get married, so i can atleast die with the joy of seeing my son's wedding; Mr. Mark said as he tried hard to stop tears from rolling down his cheeks.

Beatrix came and held Mr. Mark's hands and said "father, we are here for you and we will never let you leave". Her eyes filled with tears too but Chris stood still like he was lifeless, even his eyes don't blink at all. He then drop the car keys on the doctor's table and turned to leave to office. As he grabbed the door handle, james held his other hand trying to stop him from leaving. Without looking at James, he used all his strength and pulled his arm fiercely from James's grip, James was frightened a bit by Chris's action but knowing how he was, he didn't bother to stop him again.

Chris went out and hailed a taxi, his face was emotionless as he entered the car and said "take me to Mark Corps." in a cold and angry voice.

Back at the hospital, Mr. Mark and James talked a bit. James accompanied them to the car park and saw them leave before he left too.

As Mr.Mark and Beatrix arrived home, Beatrix was still confused, scared, disapointed and about to burst into tears at the sight of seeing her father dying. She ran to her room and locked the door as she leaned on the door and started crying. Mr. Mark didn't try to stop her because he knows how she must be feeling.

Chris sat quietly in the taxi and didn't even notice they've arrived until the driver called out "sir we are here" only then did he snap back to his senses, he dropped and paid the fair. As he entered the office everyone was surprised why he came in a taxi, he is rich, he has many cars but why a taxi. He didn't stop to bother about the eyes looking him as he strode to his office, he sat quietly for almost 20min before his office door was opened, he raised his head lazily to check only to see a familiar figure.

What do you want?; he asked, his voice sounded angry yet calm.
