Heather turned around and smiled at the man leaning against his headboard. "Yes, Father."
"Are you hurt?" Charles' gaze landed on Heather's shoulder.
Heather paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head as she wiped her tears away. "No, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all."
She sniffed and sat down in a chair next to Charles, then started reassuring him, sighing at the same time.
