Chapter 5 – The Truth Arthur Buried
That evening Arthur sat beside Lily's hospital bed.
She finally opened her eyes.
"Dad..."
"I'm here."
She reached for his hand.
"I'm sorry."
He shook his head.
"You never have to apologize for asking for help."
She studied him quietly.
"Who were you talking to?"
Arthur looked out the hospital window before answering.
"I spent many years working with federal agencies investigating organized financial crime."
"I left that life after your mother died."
"I promised myself I'd never go back."
"But when I heard your voice today..."
He gently squeezed her hand.
"I knew being your father had to come first."
Lily smiled weakly through tears.

"I knew you'd come."
"I always will."
