“If you want to talk, meet me at The Lake in Central Park at three o’clock.”
“I’ll be there. Thank you, Jillian.”
“See you soon.” I hung up before he had a chance to say anything else.
I had two hours before I had to meet my father in Central Park, so I headed to Kristen’s and Noah’s apartment. I needed to talk to her and warn her of our father’s intentions.
“Hey, you.” Kristen smiled as I walked through the door.
“Hey.” I kissed her cheek. “Are you and Noah busy?”
“We’re just going over some wedding stuff. Are you okay?”
“I need to talk to you about something,” I spoke as I set my purse down and sat on the couch.
“It sounds serious,” Noah said as he entered the room.
“I guess you can say it is. There’s something I haven’t told you yet,” I spoke as I looked at Kristen. “I ran into my parents at the charity event on Friday night.”
“Shit. What were they doing there?” Kristen asked.
“Apparently, they were invited. Who knows. The whole night was a clusterfuck with them. Anyway, things were said, and there were a lot of raised voices. I told our father about our relationship, and I also told him about your illness. He wants to meet you.”
“Fuck him!” Noah shouted.
Kristen put her hand up to him. “Noah, please.”
“You seriously aren’t considering it, are you?” he asked her.
“What harm would it do? I think I should at least meet my father before I die.”
I sat there and stared at the brave and beautiful woman who was my sister. She was filled with courage and strength, and I greatly admired her.
“Are you sure, Kristen? How can you forgive him for what he did?”
A small smile crossed her lips as she reached over and held my hand.
“Forgiveness is what gives us strength in life, Jill. Forgiveness sets you free.”
“I’m meeting him in Central Park. Supposedly, he wants to apologize to me.”
“What about Patricia?” she asked.
“I’m not so sure things are good between them. Not that they ever were, but he commented Drew that she will no longer stand in the way of him and his daughters.”
“Speaking of Drew, how were his parents?”
“You’re never going to believe this.”
“Now what?” She cocked her head.
“You know your nurse, Andrea?”
“Yeah.” She frowned.
“She’s his mother.”
“No way! So, the son she was talking about all that time was Drew?”
