Chapter 10

Joe's POV

After what seemed like forever, the doctor came into my room and said. "I got the bullet out. But, it's going to be a touch and go for at least the next twenty-four hours."

I looked at the doctor and said "Thank you for coming out."

The doctor looked at me and said "You're welcome."

I then went back into Jane's room and sat by her bed.

After a few minutes Jane woke up and started yelling, but when she saw me she calmed down. "Pa, what happened to me?"

I looked at her and said. "You got shot while you and Uncle Adam after you guys put up the horses."

Jane looked around the room again and said. "Where is Uncle Adam?"

I looked at her not knowing what to say. Because I knew that Adam was staying away from Jane because of what he thought.

Just as I was about to tell Jane what Adam was thinking, when he walked into the room. "How are you doing, Jane?"

Jane looked at Adam and said. "I'm fine Uncle Adam. Except that I'm a little sore, but it isn't anything that I can't handle."

Adam hugged her and said. "I'm sorry that this happened to you."

Jane looked at her uncle and said. "It is not your fault that this happened to me. It was nobody's fault, except for the guy that shot me."

I stood back by the bedroom door and knew that it was going to take some time, but Adam was finally seeing that it was not his fault that my daughter was shot.
