In the quiet of the room, Daisy was already thinking of how she could get Franklin to drink the supplement. She had to be very careful, so she started by pretending to be worried about him and everything that had just happened. "Franklin," Daisy said softly while still sitting close to him on the bed, "I'm so scared. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you. You've been so strong through all this, but you need to relax and take care of yourself too."Franklin looked at her, his face tired and stressed. "I know, Daisy. It's been a rough night.
