Sophia rushed over to keep him down. “Dad, you’re still hurt, stay put for now.”

Haley stopped squirming, lying back down with eyes brimming with tears. “When did you come back? Have you eaten?”

“Yep, had my meal already.” Sophia pulled up a chair to sit by the bed, eyeing Haley, “Got back last night.”
