Chapter 87
《Peyton》Well we just got done with the x-ray and now my father and the family are back in the room while Jonathan and I are in another room looking at the x-ray I don't see the black mass do you?
《Jonathan》No which means it was the ultrasound image which also means that your father is healthy other than him coming into the hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest but one thing does your father smoke?
《Peyton》No he has never smoked in his life but I'm glad he don't have a black mass over his heart I don't think my mother would ever be able to deal with it if she lost my father hell I thought I was going to lose my father when we were in surgery removing the bullet, yeah I do surgeries from time to time but it's different when it's one of your family members on that table I know you told me not to scrub in on the surgery because it was my father and it was hospital policy not to do surgery on your own family members but at the time I didn't care my main focus was to get the bullet out of my father's chest and bring him back to the family
《Jonathan》And we did now what do you say we go back in that room and tell your family the good news?
《Peyton》Yeah let's go as Jonathan and I are walking back to the room my phone rings I take it out of my pocket and look at the caller ID and it's Jim so I look at Jonathan go on back in the room and I'll be there in a minute I just got to take this call he nods and walks away to go into my father's room so I pick up my phone
Phone call (Jim and Peyton)
《Peyton》Hey Jim what did you find?
《Jim》I looked at the outside security footage and I found it was a woman does your father have any enemies that are women?
《Peyton》No I don't think so, did you find anything else?
《Jim》Yeah I spotted your father's car in the parking lot of the law firm and it was vandalized with really obscene words and phrases I'm coming to see you and your father right now
《Peyton》Alright bye

《Peyton》I just got off the phone with Jim so now I'm heading back to the room when I get to the room I see all the kids sitting around my father's hospital bed I smile, hey guys well Jonathan and I looked at the x-ray and the black mass that was on the ultrasound image was not on the X-ray image so that means that dad you are as healthy as a horse
