“I know it sucks, dude,” Nick said softly, disappearing for a moment and coming back with a cold compresses He brushed Karl’s hair back and pressed it onto his forehead. “There’s nothing I can do about it right now. Do you want me to grab your dad?”
-
“Mhm,” Karl hummed softly in response, nodding a little.
-
“Alright, I’ll be right back,” Nick said, walking out of the curtains and heading to the waiting room. “Sir? Karl’s awake, and he’s like to see you.”
-
Karl’s father lifted his head and stood, a relieved look on his face. “He’s okay?” He asked, moving over to Nick.
-
“Yeah, he’s in pain, but his vitals and awareness is good,” Nick said with a soft smile, leading him to where Karl was staying.
-
“Oh thank God,” his father said with a sigh of relief, following Nick into Karl’s room. He looked over to see his son in the bed, exhaling shakily as he walked over. Karl opened his eyes and smiled a little, seeing his dad. “Hi, Dad-“ His father crouched down a little and hugged the brunette, who teared up and hugged him back. “Are you okay?” The older man asked softly, Karl replying with a simple nod.
-
Nick smiled softly, watching awkwardly from the entrance.
-
Karl and his father spoke for a little longer in low voices, his father continuously asking if he was okay while his son nodded. “Jesus, you’re acting like I just had a heart attack,” Karl said, chuckling tiredly. He exhaled softly, wincing again when his knee started aching.
-
“Honestly, that’s wouldn’t be a bad suggested for why you passed out,” Nick suggested from the hallway. “Not eating and throwing up what you do eat unbalances all of your electrolytes and puts a lot of stress on your heart.”
-
Karl exhaled softly, rubbing his face with one hand. His father rubbed his shoulder, looking over at Nick. “When will he be free to go?” He asked, looking back at his son.
-
“Probably not for a while?” Nick said, walking back into the room. “This stuff really needs to be monitored closely and I don’t know when the next time is where we can check out that leg.”
-
“Dad, I’ll be fine-“ “But-“ His father started to speak before Karl cut him off. “I’ll be okay. Not like this is the first time something like this has happened.”
-
“He’s in good hands, sir, I promise,” Nick said softly, smiling politely.
-
“See? I’ll be fine,” Karl said with a small smile, grabbing his father’s hand and gently squeezing it. His father sighed, nodding. “If you’re sure,” he spoke warily, not wanting to leave his son alone.
-
“You can stay until eight, when visiting hours are over,” Nick stated. “But he’ll be fine on his own, Mr. Jacob’s. I promise.”
