At this moment, Claudia Ross finally realized that what Mrs. Lu said was true.
As a daughter, she indeed felt ashamed, for she had cared too little about her father.
Claudia Ross took a comb out of her handbag and gently combed Tabby Teller's hair.
As she combed, she said guiltily, "Dad, I'm sorry, Mrs. Lu saw on the news that you didn't look well, but I didn't take it seriously. It's Mrs. Lu who knows you best and cares about you the most."
"Dad, you have to wake up. Mrs. Lu is pregnant with your child, four months now, it's a son. You're going to be a dad again. You missed my growing up, you can't miss the little one's too. Dad, you are a good father..."
Claudia Ross said many, many things to Tabby Teller.
She didn't care whether Tabby Teller could hear her or not; she said everything, both what should and shouldn't be said.
Claudia Ross stayed by Tabby Teller's side every step of the way, from morning till night, without closing her eyes for a whole night.
