Ceara Ryan's eyes fluttered open and she looked around. She was lying in a bed in the Metropolis Medical Center. This was her third time passing out like this. 'Oh please! Don't let it be back!' She thought to herself. She quickly turned her head when she heard footsteps stop at the door. "Lex?"
Lex smiled, a dozen of red roses in his hand. "Ceara!" He handed her the flowers and took a seat next to her.
"What are you doing here Lex?" Ceara asked and stared at the T.V. in front of her; she couldn't even look at him.
"I saw you on the news. Ceara, are you alright?" He leaned forward and touched her hand.
She quickly pulled her hand away and looked down. "Why would you care?" She snapped.
"Ceara, I told you..." She cut him off.
"I know, I know! You're sorry and you still love me." She finally looked up into his eyes. "You expect me to believe that bullshit?" A tear ran down her cheek. "If you ever loved me, you would have believed me when I told you Dick was my brother." She quickly looked away and wiped at the tear. Lex opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out, he just sat there. For a few minutes, the room was silent. 'I can't be like him and lie to people. I have to tell him.' She finely convinced herself. "Lex..." She turned her head back to look at him again. "I can't lie to you anymore!"
Lex looked up and into her eyes, a confused look on his face. "What are you talking about?"
"Last night..." She looked away. "Cassidy, she's yours." She looked back, sad in her eyes.
Lex was speechless again. 'I have a daughter?' He thought to himself. He was still shock, but her grabbed her hand and kissed it. How could he be mad at her? After all he put her through, it was his fault she never had the chance to tell him. "I really am sorry Ceara. Bruce Wayne is a friend of mine from college. So after you left, I called him. He told me about your brother. I so sorry I never believe you." He tightened his gripped on her hand as a tear threaten to fall.
"That night, I was going to tell you." Tears ran down her face as she sat up. "I wanted to tell you. But now it's too late."
"Too late?" He looked at her disappointed. "Ceara, you can't leave me again."
"I might not have a chose." She looked up and just then the doctor walked in. She looked back at Lex. "Please leave Mr. Luther."
Lex looked at her shocked. "But..."
"Leave!" She said a little louder. He hesitantly stood up and walked out. She looked back to the doctor. "Have you found anything?" She asked kind of unsure if she really wanted to know.
"Yes, I've found something. I don't know anything about you past medical, so I would like to run some test." The doctor stood at the end of the bad.
"Please, just tell me what you found." She sat up straighter.
"We tested you last night when you came in. And we found a ball about as big as your fist on the right side of your chest."
"It's back." She said under her breath.
The doctor heard her and raised an eye brow. "What do you think is back?"
Ceara quickly looked up. "Leukemia! A year after my daughter was born, they found cancer. I went through treatments and they thought they got it all." She explained.
The doctor looked at her with an 'I'm sorry look'. "We don't know what it is yet, not until we run some test."
"Well, I'm probably right. Don't you agree?" She knew she was right.
"We won't know till then." And he turn and walked out.
